Bam:

Available at the Vanguard Quartermaster.

This baby is the closest thing to the Messenger that I've found in year 2, once you spec it out for max stability. This gun has nasty recoil (your shots drag up and to the left) unless you equip the hand-laid stock perk, which brings the recoil into a straight vertical climb; perfect for the Headseeker perk.

Like the messenger, it has high impact/low rate of fire, making it a beast at mid-long range. I think it'll do a 2-shot kill (haven't pulled it off yet, but I got several targets down to a thread of health after 2 shots with 1 or 2 bullets missing). Pulse rifles of this archetype are a bit weaker at close range, but a) that's what shotguns are for, and b) this one has full-auto which helps a bit.

So if you're a fan of the messenger and you're looking for a suitable replacement, I'd absolutely recommend dropping 150 marks on this beauty. I'm suddenly less nervous about Trials 2.0 ;)
