I don't think the Hard Light has ever been very good. It's such a fun gun to use and the sound of it is really satisfying. I would really like to see a buff to it so it's actually usable in at least PvE.

Never had a problem with the gun and I used it religiously for 3 months straight.
-
It's exotic perk is busted. No damage fall off.
-
It's fun in both PvP and PvE. I like to run dual Incendiary grenades, tag my opponents, and try to bounce-kill them off of burn damage telling me where they are.

Hardlight is a great pve weapon, but isn't very good for pvp. It's base stats are amazing.
-
It's a solid pvp auto. The only drawback is its shake. That's it, everything else about that gun is fantastic. It's aim assist is maxed and it's equip speed is 90, with maxed stability, 88 rof, and 86 reload speed with its volatile light perk I'm surprised you don't see this weapon more.

I used it a lot in year one so I could be wrong but I found that if you do burst fire basically, it becomes God like
-
The screen shake is the only real bad thing about it; it ignores its good base stability and excellent recoil direction and kicks like a bull when using it. I wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep if that screen shake were to suddenly... disappear...

Hard Light is one of those auto rifles that you really need to aim to use it correctly. Thats not easy as we all know. For PvE always use Glass half full and aim for the head or juice box. This gun can plow through crowds so long as you hold that trigger.
