It's not bad in PvE. The recoil is a bit high but the Range is amazing. If you get a high zoom scope and Custom Optics, which increase the Range beyond the cap through zoom, it's like a Primary Sniper Rifle. I used an A.1F19X-RYL with that build for a while and it was very satisfying to pop an enemy from the other side of the map in one shot and see them explode.
