I have the Bad JuJu bounty, and I've been saving up for something good. Should I get the hard light or wait for something like Invective or Plan C? I'd really hate to see something like that come around the week after I spent all my coins.
EDIT: Thanks for the 20+ replies, I think I'm actually going to pass on Hard Light.

Id say get it not only because this is Xur's first time selling it, but you never know when the ARs will be retuned. I'm sure they will be because weapons are always being retuned especially with the outcry. While that update may not happen just yet, it will. As far as performance, before the pulse rifle buff, people were iffy about the Bad Juju, Red Death, and any other pulse rifle. It's amazing how a 9% increase in dmg across the board in a category can make the difference in a loadout. Imo, the Hard Light is a good AR. It's got full stability or you can go with more bullets(field scout). With higher stability, you won't require as many bullets because most will strike your target. As with all weapons, you have to know the range. I can't speak for everyone but I know the reason most people don't like it is because it's not an "across the map" weapon. ARs are not supposed to be that anyway. Because it's generally the most popular weapon in an fps as far as primaries goes, it's given an increased range as the norm.
