I've seen a few topics calling Bad Juju a crap exotic, after getting it I can somewhat see why this gun is nice in aesthetics but its stats are so lack luster and its upgrades are okay but would be a lot better if its base stats were higher, don't get me wrong I don't hate this gun I love it for PvE but in terms of PvP this gun gets beat out by the Stranger's Rifle in every stat other than fire rate which is actually just slightly ahead(The Black Suros SWB-42 also beats Bad Juju). I'd hope in time maybe this gun could get a buff so its more usable (Its okay, but certainly not great). I'm gonna stop with the whine for a bit and move onto this guns issues.
1. The overall stats are worse than a level 16 rare... even with the upgrades minus it's main perk this gun is ultimately beat by the Stranger's Rifle.
2. The hip fire upgrade bonus. Why?! there is almost zero use for this. (does anyone actually hip fire in this game?)
3. Why does a gun that gets an instant reload perk have such a high base reload stat? If anything you would thing this guns reload would be crap until you got the perk which at this point I'd be fine with that.
4. Magazine size, for a pulse rifle 15 feels a bit small only 5 trigger pulls before reload and its not like this gun has a high impact so why wouldn't the mag be larger to compensate for that?
5. The range, I can somewhat understand I mean I guess Bungie wanted this gun to be a true CQC pulse rifle but its not that great at that outside of PvE the could have given it a better mid range quality imo.
6. Finally we have the upgrades nothing on it really sucks but a nice juicy upgrade to impact would have been great instead there is an impact penalty on this weapon which really just made me say what in the actual -blam!- Bungie and then armor piercing rounds doesn't offer a "big enough" impact bonus to make it better than Send it or Perfect balance(for pvp anyway).
That pretty much sums up my rant for this gun if you want to call it that, I love this weapon even though its not the greatest I still use it even if I suck total ass with it in PvP, it's my first exotic weapon after all so I wouldn't just abandon it but I'd really hope as I said before to see this gun get a size-able buff atleast to where its stats stand above the Stranger's Rifle(my 2nd favorite pulse rifle in this game so far) and hell this is just an early analyses of the gun I haven't fully unlocked its tree so I could be wrong and if I am well that's on me but I'll max it out and see how it does.
I'd like to hear what fellow Bad Juju owners think about this little demon of a pulse rifle.

I upgraded the gun already and have the armor piercing rounds for PvP. I've used it as my primary weapon for a while now and learned to use it and when not to. This gun sucks unless there are open areas. Examples: it sucks in burning shine, twilight gap, etc. Counter examples: its good in rusted lands, bastion, first light and such. The gun is most effective whenever people cant run away from you. I know this from experience. Then, after your first kill, if you manage to go on a 4 streak, you will start dominating. Just my experience.
