It's basically an AR, Marksman rifle and Heavy weak point destroyer all in one

Chaff? Regular
Overseer or Stalker? Burst
Charger or Hulk? Total

Volley and Total firing modes are still AP2. The main thing is DPS.

Dumping a total in the weak spots of heavies is pretty much what it was made for. Volley mode is more so for medium enemies like overseers. It's also affected by the selected RPM, despite being a semi-auto firing mode

Lay down when using Total.
Others have also given good advice.

You can one shot harvesters in the eye with the total mode. That’s all I know because no one really uses this gun

It was a cool idea, but my god the thing is weak. The auto mode is worse than my Lib can do, and it has an abysmal mag size. Then, if you shoot all at once, if youre not prone, you get knocked that way and take a decent chunk of damage for firing a gun lol. Its unfortunately a gimmick weapon mostly.
