I'm really disappointed in the catalyst for the Sunshot. I grinded FOR HOURS hoping this thing would have noticeable recoil reduction (since it boasts a massive stability/range buff).
>>>And before you start; I dont care if its a "pve" weapon in design, a gun you grind for for that long deserves glory in the Crucible.
So first things first... big surprise, it still kicks like a horse!
The catalyst should have shaved the recoil in half/percentage, or at the least an impact increase . Aiming down the sights/ field of view is also awkward and how it kicks up covering your mark easily ruins a 1v1 duel. Guns like Better Devils, which is also known for noticable recoil, are far easier to control.
Only way this gun would be viable is if I stack Energy Weapon Recoil mods on a Hunter (the only class that can stack three) & I main a Warlock..
You would think something that cost you 28+ hours of grinding would be more inticing and put it up there with other mid range meta-weapons.

The faction rally catalysts are such a pain to get that you need to actually rearrange your life to do it. Something that requires this much time and effort (and boredom after a while) needs to be REALLY good. If not, there's no way I'll do it a second time. I suppose the good news is that after this event, the reviews will be in on all three catalysts, and we can know which ones are most effective.
