Caught inside due to raging hell-plague of the throat (*sigh* a sometimes-Thanksgiving tradition) I decided to give my partly-levelled Sleeper Simulant a try on the Spire mission (normal difficulty). Interesting results. On reflection, the weapon does crits and I probably should've been angling for headshots to make the results (even) more impressive.

-- Steve likey. It's a keeper.

the weapon does crits

It took me a while to figure that out. The thing is, it's a fusion rifle (supposedly), so I wasn't aiming for heads at first. It took some time before I made some accidental headshots!
