User blog:Derp2000/Exotic Review: Sleeper Simulant

DISCLAIMER:

Sleeper Simulant is a Y02 Exotic Heavy Weapon acquired by finishing many bounties from getting Rasputin's 4 Fusion Rifles that are obtained by RNG drops from defeating Minions of the Darkness, all the way up to beating a 280 strike S.A.B.E.R. Well, everyone thought this was the next Gjallarhorn... Well, not really. The slow rate of fire, very little ammo in both magazine & reserves are not that great. With no tracking, it can turn it from having a fun game using it, to frustration when trying to shoot this gun. Here are my PvP thoughts for this weapon:

PvP POV:

Very disappointing. I've seen many other Guardians do a review on this, & they're having a hard time using this weapon because of it's bad stats. Low rate of fire for a Fusion Rifle isn't all that great, especially if it's a one bullet shot, not split projectiles (you have a higher chance of hitting another Guardian with split projectiles than 1). The magaine & reserves aren't that great as it gives you 2 per heavy ammo drop, which isn't that great when playing at Crucible, especially playing maps such as Pantheon or Crossroads, because of how much space (horizontally & Vertically) you have could lead to more misses. The ricochet is nice, but that only works when playing very small maps, such as Anomaly. The range is nice, but what's the point of having it when you're rate of fire is slow & you don't have tracking. It either has to be a medium range fight with your weapon almost charged up or by element of Suprise. Overall, this weapon is meant to be a PvE weapon, not for PvP.
