i got it in the raid this weekend and used it on the venus daily yesterday that was all vex with void shields. IT SUCKED. it takes half a mag to down a goblin on lvl 28, even with critical shots. its really stable and rate of fire is good, but damage and range are abysmal right out of the box. i couldnt complete the mission with it after 4 deaths, the void minotaurs kept handing me my ass. so i switched back to devil you know and wrecked to completion without another death. now im keeping an open mind for now and im going to use it to run some hive missions and see how it fairs against the solar shields. and im going to level it up and increase the damage and range and hopefully it will improve. ive had a rare scout before that i loved the damage and range on fully leveled up and im just really shocked this raid gun fared so badly by comparison. im hoping it kicks ass once i level it up so i can use it on the hive DLC next month. its really hard to level it though because it sucks so bad i barely want to even use it. i picked up the vanguard scout that causes enemies to explode and the bottom of the mag does extra damage, and it has better range and impact stats, which seems like a much better gun, it just doesnt have the solar damage. i really hope the confluence comes along and becomes my go-to solar gun.
