So, I finally got this weapon as a drop from a legendary engram earlier this week. Its already my favorite heavy weapon for gameplay, lore, and aesthetic. 1. Gameplay- This gun feels so smooth to use. The sights always stay on target even when the recoil hits, and having to only reload when you expend all your ammo and find some more to dump in. It's great against redbars, yellowbars, and ultras, so you can pick it up and use it whenever you need to. 2. Lore- This gun was designed to be a permanent companion, which bungie did a great job showing in game. The ammo returning and being instantly loaded in on a hit, and the way the sights stay true despite the recoil, make the gun feel so alive! Not in a menacing way like bad juju, but like the friend it was designed to be, and that it was. 3. Aesthetic- I've been with new monarchy the whole game, and this gun reminds me of their weapons, as it should, looking at who commissioned its design. It fits right at home with my arsenal, And reminds me of my beloved Red Hand 9 from year 1. It also just looks good all around, with a very nice paint. TLDR: SGA is a great heavy that is reminescent of the friend it was designed to be.
