I'll shoot myself, even though it's rumored to be once of the rarest Exotics out there I managed to somehow get myself 3. Out of the 4 Goddamn exotics I have, 3 are Hardlights...
Edit 1: I'm glad there is so much activity on the post! Personally like my Hardlight, it's ability to penetrate through enemies is great for crowd control. Certainly there are better exotics to use but I still like it :)
Edit 2: WOW! 127 responses! You guys are amazing!

It isn't rare. I got mine from the first chest in VOG.
