False... (Destiny)

I'm convinced that people that don't use Suros either don't have it, don't have the Suros Regime perk unlocked, or don't realize how beneficial the latter is to PvP.

It's a good gun, for sure, and I bought it from Xur early on, but never liked using it until I needed to for the Iron Banner Bounty. I grew to master its quirks and perks fairly quickly, but once Iron Banner was over, I went straight back to my VoC/Final Rest combo.

Since then, I started using the Monte Carlo, and it's a hugely underrated Auto Rifle. High Rate of fire matched with high stability and the option of long-range or a 55 round mag... And that's without the Monte Carlo Method perk, which, when playing as a Hunter or Warlock is insane (every kill has a chance to refill your knife/Scorch completely, and remember that Scorch gives you an overshield)... I'm consistently wrecking in the Crucible with it, even getting fairly long range kills. The only times I've lost to a Suros is when the people have the High Impact perk on, which causes you to miss a lot at range, but that Suros perk makes it difficult to win even with Scout Rifles, so it's not an issue exclusive to Monte Carlo. I do win most engagements, though...

Combine Suros with Gunslinger's Trance and you have a health grabbing, improved impacting, laser beam capable of sniping in full auto. There is very little reason to play with anything else once you have it.

Mythoclast has a higher DPS at close range (as does really any fusion rifle), as does the Last Word and Hawkmoon, with Thorn being OP at pretty much any range. I find lots of reasons to play with other stuff...
