Got a hardlight from nightfall and at first I was excited. Then I tried it and holy sh!t does it suck. Low damage and recoil you can't control when the enemy is more than 10 ft away
Edit: Since a lot of people are butt hurt, this is a first impression and I barely upgraded it. Although if it's shitty now and the upgrade perks don't stand out, I doubt there's much difference.
Edit 2: After giving it another chance I'm starting to like the gun. I still would much rather have a suros or even Monte Carlo but it's not as bad as I thought.
