used it in pvp & pve and my thoughts are its bad. the exotic perk of a charge freeze shot after a kill has two negatives attached: charging it and only works after a kill. doesn't this sound ok? pretty balanced? well actually there's 3 negatives, last one being IT EMPTYS YOUR ENTIRE CLIP AND IT HAS SLOW HANDLING SO YOU CAN'T SWAP WEAPONS FAST ENOUGH TO KILL YOUR OPPONENT BEFORE THEY UNFREEZE AND IT HAS NO RELOAD AT ALL SO YOU LEAVE YOURSELF COMPLETELY OPEN AFTER USING THE CHARGE SHOT AND THERES NO COMPLEMENTARY INTRINSIC PERK TO MAKE UP FOR IT(which is common place on exotic weapons) AND ITS RATE OF FIRE FEELS REALLY BAD and i still have no clue what it's optimal range is, seems far away? but if you use the freeze out of melee range ur screwed-and if you try to charge in melee range ur screwed... in closing, it is a complete and total failure of weapon design, a traditionally close range weapon that wants to compete in primary ranges, fails to do so, and an exotic perk you're better off not using at all.
