Review
Simultaneously one of the most entertaining and infuriating archetypes of machine guns, the lowest-impact subclass combines the love of mowing down dozens of enemies at a time with the recoil equivalent of riding a bull. After receiving a small buff a few patches back, these weapons were still feeling a bit unloved, at least until IF MATERIA~ came along. Linear Compensator makes the recoil almost completely vertical, and Braced Frame helps to keep it under control. Normally Braced Frame would be a drawback on a machine gun, but a high reload speed and interesting perk set guarantees you won't notice it at all. Triple Tap and Triple Double wouldn't be something you would expect to see on a high-RoF weapon, but the MATERIA shoots so fast you're bound to get three quick headshots almost every time you point it at a target and pull the trigger. Since you get two bullets back into the mag every time is activates, think of this weapon as a poor man's Super Good Advice (that's actually better), without it needing the exotic slot. Although it may not be the best in PvP, it absolutely shreds in PvE!
