[Spoiler: Gun Review] Bad Juju

[b]Damage Type[/b]: Kinetic [b]Magazine Size[/b]: 15 [b]RPM[/b]: ~455 (1.98s/mag) [b]Reload[/b]: ~2.35s, 0s [b]Range[/b]: Close-Mid [b]Signature Trait[/b]: String of Curses [b]Other Traits[/b]: Fully Automatic, Hip Fire, 3 performance options, 3 ammunition options, 5 Damage Upgrades [b]Acquisition[/b] Vanguard Mentor Missive: Toland's Legacy [b]Observations[/b] Bad Juju's out of the box Full Auto perk combined with a quick fire rate means that you'll chew through its 15-round magazine rather quickly. Reload time isn't all that impressive without String of Curses, and a lackluster standard ammo reserve means that you'll want to pair this with armor that'll increase your capacity if you don't like the idea of scouring every corner for ammo drops. This weapon sacrifices impact in order to focus on volume of fire and balance, but unfortunately it doesn't even shine in that regard till you've spent a good deal of time with the weapon. Unlocking its skill tree is a necessity for use against high-level enemies, and even then you may want to leave those targets to your fireteam. The String of Curses skill makes this gun a viable choice, but until then you'll feel a little underpowered. It buffs damage after a kill and grants an instantaneous reload, allowing a skilled Guardian to empty their entire ammo reserve without needing to reload. The only catch: high-leveled enemies will take more than 15 rounds to vanquish. So, either leave those enemies to your friends or alternate between a larger target and the smaller ones in order to avoid that reload time. Headshots are a necessity. [b]Warning:[/b] There also seems to be a bug that will stop the Full Auto perk every once in a while, so be on the watch for that. It's not much of a bug, but it's still enough to ruin a shot. All you need to do to fix it is pull the trigger again. [b]Final Word[/b] Great for engaging a large number of enemies, but it's low impact and minuscule magazine make it a poor choice for engaging Ultra-level enemies until fully upgraded.
