Just wanted to shout-out the design team for this exotic! It's easily top tier for design and uniqueness. You feel so bad ass using it with the spool up rattling away and a giant Arc bubble shield around you with 500 rounds to play with! Fun and viable of your exotic slot, can't wait till you all get to earn this gun too and for the grind to be worth it for something SO FUN. And be sure to pair it with Actium War Rig for no reloads! I'm legit never unequipping this gun because it puts such a smile on my face, can't wait to get a Catalyst for it soon too hopefully <3 Edit : I'm so disappointed to see so much negativity about the gun or its grind. I understand opinions but cmon guys! Edit 2 : To those complaining about OPTIMAL DPS, Get a grip. Do you really think it was designed for DPS in mind? No it's for fun and melting large groups of Hive or Meme builds in crucible, you know... Having fun? Oh wait nevermind your still rocking a Recluse/Izanagi in PvE and you absolutely use Hardlight in PvP because you cannot understand what being different is because all that matters is WINNING and being OPTIMAL. But I guarantee if for some reason Bungie buffed it to become the best OPTIMAL DPS, You'll all flock to it like Xenophage or Hardlight in PvP.
