nahh bruh in gambit its OP, 2 shot heavy scout rifle it is

[Shiroe (cortana)]

i actually like the weapon..
Good dmg+splash, but the ammo could have been slightly higher..... bcoz 13 in mags and about 20 in reserve with machine gun reserve mods is meh!

The sound alone makes it great

Pros

- Its a fire machine gun so if your hunting edgewise it will work very well :)
- its explosive radius is actually useful and can clean multiple red bars and do serious work to low yellows as well in one shot
- blasts through minors and some majors fairly well

Cons
- very low ammo total. You only get around 13 a clip and 2 or 3 reloads in reserves, meaning you need all the heavy ammo finders to make it work.
- cannot crit. Perhaps the most agregious problem, and it looks like it was designed this way. It CAN crit if target is debuffed with a divinity, teather, or similar.
- very slow rate of fire makes it feel like a giant hand cannon instead of a machinegun.

Summary:

I think its fairly unique and love its explosives but the very limited ammo reserves and the inability to crit is the two factors holding it back the most in my opinion.

Xenophage is mediocre at best.

Requirements:

- Criticals.
- 4 ammo in Crucible.
- 6 ammo in Gambit.

With this the ammo is fine.

It is a beast in gambit for invading, the noise and feel of it is heavy and satisfying.

[Syringes]

Got it few hours ago, its Meh at best.
Green ammo instead of Heavy (like with Lion GL)
They should change the model to scout rifle instead of MG
Because the way my brain works - MG = lots of bullets, but having 13 in mag and 29 with 2 reserve mods is ridiculous and not worth it

and ye noise is crap (Thunderlord is better)

[Camera Lucida]

I tried it on console first i was like, wow thats some recoil. Then i tried it on PC, and i was like woah i thought recoil didn't exist in this realm.

[narlander]

well its ok for haunted forest... other than that its just a meme now

Except it takes an exotic and heavy slot which prevent you from using better guns.

If you really gotta say that the height of a weapon's usefulness is Gambit, that weapon belongs in the trashcan. Gambit is the the cheesiest, most unbalanced sh1tfest in the game, and Xeno is no better than any other heavy weapon including other MGs. I mean you can wipe a team with a piece of burnt toast for gods sake.

Leviathans is also really only good in Gambit but it at least has some extra utility to go along with it for PvE modes. Xeno has nothing going for it and in it's current state is a waste of time to acquire, and I deeply question whoever's over at Bungie that gave it the OK to be designed and released like this.

Lol, I guess thar guy gets triggered by xenophage in gambit. In pvp its fine, not as much potential as a rampage hammerhead, but it can kill 4 guardians. PvE damage is a little lacking though but still fun to use, also doubles as a grenade launcher with its aoe.
