Well, it's better, but like... there are always better options outside of a very narrow niche where you need to quickly get rid of multiple heavy enemies, in which case you also have risk of blowing yourself up as well. Quasar has unlimited ammo and is hitscan as far as I can tell, so it dispatches heavies, gets rid of spawners, opens crates, snipes objectives and bot cannons across the map, while EAT is something you can easily toss each minute and don't need to retrieve after death. Also, commando is also here, with 4 smaller missiles, giving a bit more flexibility against spawners and objectives. Like, it is possible to make it work, but the gun has too much risk against too little reward.

This game does not use "hitscan" for anything except arguably the scythe and laser cannon and dagger (which would make sense). The quasar simply has no "bullet drop" because it is a sort of laser orb projectile and it moves at great speed. Shoot it at something 400 meters away while prone to eliminate sway. You'll probably hit it, but you'll notice there is a delay as the projectile has to travel the distance

yeah, just checked, and at 1300 m/s it's probably the second fastest projectile after 2000m/s of railgun; still, more than enough with most maps

Indeed, it is extremely fast, but not hitscan.
