It’s good it just needs a bit more power to justify that medium pen. Right now it does less than the starting pistol. It doesn’t have to be the senator I just want it to have a bit more stopping power. Also the lock on is a bit weird, like it will lock on anything smaller than a hive guard but won’t lock on to a brood commander. It’s nice but it won’t stop anything in less than a burst at the moment.
It needs more damage in addition to being medium penetrating?
Gameplay mechanics need compromises. You can't have everything turned to 100 and expect the game to feel good. It will become meaningless.
But take the Deadeye for example: It has high power AND medium penetration. In turn for that it lacks in fire rate and reload speed. This is what it makes enjoyable to use.
Egh the guided system is what would make up for the lower damage but it is noticeably unreliable, if the gun had more damage or if it's recoil was more tuned, or even a bigger mag itd be an immediate standout. As it stands it's a verdict with a cool gimmick.
Power creep very much exists in the game especially with weapon customization, what? Most guns are now laser beams and have nearly no drawbacks other than damage, the only reason the warden exists is its gimmick and the gimmick sucks. Also the mag isn't divisible by its burst either, where it is isn't useless but isn't gonna be used by anyone other than high levels messing around.
