The raid weapons weren't good for the raid. In fact.... they weren't good for any thing (except infusion) Know what i used as my raid sniper rifle? Not Defiance of Yasmine, I used Black Spindle My scout wasn't the raid one it was a gunsmith one, until i got my hand of judgement. Raid handcannon? I haven't even fired a shot from it yet, Hawkmoon/First Curse/ Devil You Know out perform it. Pulse rifle? no.... i don't use pulse rifles at all. The only weapon from the raid that I've used consistently is the machine gun.
