Does anyone actually use the burning sun plasma rifle?

[Nexus]

and if so may i ask why?

like i get it looks cool but... from my experience its just completely garbage.

its max starting ammo is garbage and only gives you two clips base, despite even having 147 damage with all the damage mods as a tier 3 weapon, i find it still takes several clips to kill an ambot, let alone a measly brute, whenever you fire it the projectile takes up the entire screen so it looks like youre staring into the sun whenever you dare use it, the damage capacitor is bugged in that it doesnt show up on the model, im pretty sure the entire gun itself is bugged, i dont even know why its in the special category (then again they put the m'ma in the basic section)

like... i personally find the grav gun 100x more consistant and 100x more fun

even the plasma pistol feels like it out preforms the rifle and thats kinda sad

Several of us believe the plasma rifle is bugged. As you say, the pistol will blow up an enemy while the rifle barely staggers the same guy.

Turn off the modulator. I've been running the larger magazine and standard damage and find it much more effective.

Definitely one of the things I hope they look at soon, but not something you can't work around.
