I unlocked the Pocket Infinity like 3 days ago and I'm trying my best to figure out why everyone is going crazy. I mean it looks cool... but that's about it. It has a ridiculously slow charge time, feels way weaker than the Dammerung FR5, and only has a 3-shot mag. What exactly am I missing here? Are the upgrades supposed to do anything special? At the moment (for me at least, without the upgrades) it's just straight up unusable in PvP given the ridiculously slow charge time and weak damage output. I can't even see having a full auto mode be useful given the tiny mag size. I almost never get killed by this thing either, so I'm not quite sure why it's being nerfed...

  • It used to have an upgrade for an 8 shot clip. It didnt turn it into a god gun, but it became a lot more effective and was fun as hell to use. Now its pretty much useless - an oddity, nothing more.

  • Watched a few YouTube videos of it fully upgraded. I can see how it can be very deadly with the full auto mode. But honestly with the slow charge-up time remaining as its biggest crutch it seems like it wouldn't be very effective when you get ambushed up close (unless the enemy is a terrible shot). I can see how it can be considered OP, but at the same time it's also very situational. Anyway thanks for the info. I'll have to wait and see myself what it's like fully upgraded before I pass further judgment. So far (strictly speaking from personal experience) I haven't gotten killed by it very often. I feel like the vast majority of players would opt for the Vex Mythoclast, Suros Regime, and Invective for their exotic slot instead.

  • Pre nerf it was sooooo op but only when fully upgraded. It had an 8 mag and you randomly got bullets back so most of the time you had a 10-12 mag, the first charge time is slow but if you unlock auto and hold down, after the first charge it constantly fired without having to charge again until you stopped or reloaded. In PvE it oneshotted every enemy but majors and above. OP was definitely needed but I think the clip size should have been 4, not 3
