I wasn’t around when it first came out so I was hyped to get my hands on it. Completely unimpressed. I have many iterations and I don’t think any of them are very good. Feeding Frenzy/Surrounded, Subsistence/Surrounded, Feeding Frenzy/ Desperate Measure, Subsistence/Desperate Measures to name a few. I don’t know what it is, but in anything but bubble gum content, they don’t seem to perform. I’m not sure if it’s the low impact rating, the small magazine, or both, but it just feels like they constantly need reloading before they do much other than take out a couple Thralls. Subsistence doesn’t give enough of a bullet bump and FF seems hard to kick into gear at its highest levels to make the reload actually feel fast- you either run out of adds or they take too many bullets to get rapid kills going. The only content they seem to “perform” in is content that you could walk through with a pea shooter. As a comparison I happened to have a purple engram drop in the middle of an Onslaught run and it was a Sub/Surrounded Ros Aragos so I figured I’d A/B it with the Recluse of the same perks. Not even a close contest. The Ros has higher impact, a larger mag, and otherwise similar stats for close to mid-range work. Just slightly lower firing rate. I was able to obliterate an entire wave at a spawn point without reloading with the Ros, whereas the Recluse needed at least a couple reloads. The Ros also seemed to stay on target more easily, even through the Recluse has a 100 Recoil Direction vs a 57 on the Ros…. add to that the Ros reload is almost double the Recluse. So I’m thinking “why bother?”. Maybe once we can enhance the perks…..? Am I expecting too much? I just wish I could get the Repulser/Volatile to drop so I can compare it to my Title and Age Old Bond.
