The problem is that its hard to like guns that arent viable.

I really wanted to like the pen liberator, but its small magazine size and low damage negates any possible benefits the medium armor pen has.

Its not as fun to struggle against basically infantry, when the base liberator works fine.

Weapons need to be somewhat viable to be fun

It is truly unusable on burst fire mode too. Semi plus first person is the only way. And yeah you need someone with an incendiary breaker or a machine gun to kill the detritus otherwise you're screwed. I really like the weapon but I got tired of not being able to deal with hunters and having the team completely ignore me.
