It's not. And while it looks gorgeous, it's basically a non-tracking Plasma Launcher from Reach, so there might be a bit of a curve for folks using it, so I feel that it'll rarely be used in favor of other exotics, which is a bit of a bummer. I'd love to know what scenarios it excels at, though. Area denial, maybe?

I was imagining a way to make this gun way more fun. What if it fires instantly, but you have to charge up the sticky projectiles after you've stuck your target by continuing to hold the trigger. Still kills like an FR, but in reverse order. If you don't charge the projectiles long enough, they won't do fatal damage, but if you charge for longer, it can do extra damage.
