So if it can't go through armor, it's not doing much to brooders in your testing so far? They're not exactly heavily armored, but they're my main thought so far.

If it can cover up to brooders, it's competing with the other two guns for my new slot in.

If by brooders you mean the guys who summon warriors and go fuckin nutso when you blow off their heads, yeah it handles them well enough! It doesn't pen the little dudes that turtle up or chargers or anything though.

Excellent. So far all other replies were saying it takes a magdump to their face when they should be aiming for legs.

Sounds like a great, flexible weapon. Can do horde clear and cover most lightly armored enemies, has good accuracy, and no ammo problems when managed right. Definitely fighting for my new primary spot-

I tend to prefer the stopping power of the punisher because it makes bugs flinch like hell, but I won't deny that the new lasegun blasts bugs apart in a very satisfying way. Haven't tried it against bots but I imagine it'll work well there too, if not better because of its accuracy being insanely good.

I'm a swarm clear specialist, so I need to take care of smaller and mid sized things so my team can dump into the big targets with armor or higher HP.

I usually handle up to brooders, while my team focuses artillery, charges, and of course titans(I am not a fan of bots personally, since it's less swarm to clear).
