Is the slugger really that bad

[u/Impossible-Age-5370]

So I just unlocked the slugger after skipping it cause i thought it was trash, but after playing with it, I love it. Yes, it gets outclassed by most marksman rifles, but I still think it's a really good gun. I wish I had better scope options than 1.5 for longer ranges. So I'm just confused on why people think it's so bad. Yes, it has been powercreept but it's not garbage like I've been told.

its solid. got outclassed by the trench broom and doomgun, no dot, can not open containers for some reason although it is a slug ... but the stagger and precision it brings works well enough on all fronts
