The Universal Remote was the very first exotic weapon I got, and let me tell you, it is useless. Now for those of you that don't know, the Universal Remote is an exotic PRIMARY shotgun, so like the vex mythoclast, it is a primary weapon. Upon looking at the base stats, it isn't much to see. It's range is close to zero and it's impact is also low. I thought that maybe the upgrades would boost it, and they do in theory with increases to base range and range increased while ADS. However, this is not what you want it to be. I have now a fully upgraded universal remote and it SUCKS. Even in PvP fully upgraded it compares sub par to the dominant shotguns. Any at range kills with this weapon are a crap shot and while it does kill in one shot close range, so does every other shotgun. My advice to you, stay far away from wasting your time with it.
