So I have been giving it a lot of tries. I have to say I just don't like it. I want to like it, but its just so hard to use. Either I shoot too early and don't get the max damage it can do or it blows up. On the blowing up the beeping sound gives to little warning. I keep hearing it and letting go as soon as I can and it will just blow up. I have some better luck in first person view, but still find it unwieldy. Am I really just in the skill issue?

I want to like it but I can't. The charging has a very tiny sweet spot which is easier to detect via audio.

But audio for weapons is very unstable right now, making it very difficult to find.

Also, as others have said it's very much a jack of all trades, but not as good. It's almost like the AC, but without a backpack, for less power, less range, less consistency etc...

It can do more AT stuff than the autocannon buy given all the other downsides it's a weapon that's basically asking too much for a "meh" payoff. If it had a larger blast or more damage (maybe different firing modes) plus a more forgiving hot spot it would be a pretty fun option I feel.
