Its amazing in combined arms as it has good aim assist for easy headshots and crits 73 at almost any range, not to mention that amazing stability. When reactive reload is active it hits over 90 on crits. In crucible its a good weapon to run with shotgun on maps like pantheon, rusted lands, shores of time, and widows court. Obviously it won't beat thorn and TLW every time but at far enough range it will dominate. The key to success with this weapon is to work its range. Don't let enemies anywhere near you and pick them off with ease
