Loaded question is ass

It's the best all-around PvE legendary energy weapon in the game. Although someone brought up Recluse, which may be a valid point. It's amazing how different Destiny 2 is from D1. Legendary snipers were kings of the special slot back then and they are back in the energy slot now, so what the hell happened? They aren't even that much weaker than in D1. It's the style of gameplay that's changed. What they do just isn't needed anymore. No more doorway/corner/range camping, aggro management is WAAAY more aggressive now. But whatever I digress.

The gun is mediocre for the simple reason you have to fully commit to the gun. That means your best suited to using it with rally barricade or lunafaction boots. Most enemies you can skip and run away from and they’ve never offered a challenge due to the simple fact that we’ve been fighting the same no challenging enemies since d1 for about 5 years. We didn’t have the loaded question then and we don’t need it now. I run fusions to and and was severely disappointed in the gun. For balance in mind it’s a joke. If it was like luck in the chamber and that’s how it proced at random instead of the full mag of 7s first shot then this thing would be nasty but it’s not. Trash mobs never were any challenge to take out. A grenade offers a more consistent and viable option without gimping you and forcing you to commit to a wonky play style. Majors aren’t hard to take out either so what is this guns purpose? I prefer erentil in both pve or pvp then this. But main ingredient I still use above all.

It's a grenade every 3 seconds with better blast radius and perfect aim and no reload time. And it has the versatility of being useful against thick single targets like shields and majors (and at range, too) because you can just use it like a normal high impact fusion rifle when you need to. Nothing else in the energy slot outside of Telesto and Jotunn can do what it does, and both are exotics.
