Ok so I thought id give my feedback on this since Bungie says they are listening so here goes.
Redrix Claymore is not worth the grind. Reason being is that every loss cost 10 points reduced on you rank. Now imagine someone getting started on the grind. Won two matches which in turn adds up to 45 points sitting at Rank 0. Then next 4 matches were all losses. Just lost 45 points. tries again and wins two to get the points back. Losses the next matches, lost 35 points. See where im getting at?
Not necessary not good at crucible but its the losses that get to us. Quickplay Crucible is more fun and I am Rank 3 now and still progressing. Lost some matches but I am pushing forward.
With Competitive the grind feels like it does not move forward but simply bounce up and down.
So again, the Redrix Claymore is not worth the effort due to the losses that cost points.
Id like to have it but not like this.

And when you actually get it because you will. You will see that the gun is not that great =( sadly. It is a little bit lacking in range compared to other high damage pulse rifles, and it is IMO more of a pve gun than pvp. With all the team shooting going on you will not get the killing shot in many cases and you are left to a regular low rate of fire pulse rifle which is not competitive to GL or VW.
