There has been quite a bit of hype surrounding Red Death's return to Destiny 2, with many YouTubers (such as Aztecross) giving positive early reviews. However, upon initial use, some Reddit users have expressed disappointment.
Reddit user u/Deadeyefitz found the weapon underwhelming, slow, and a bit clunky. Its placement as an Exotic draws more criticism than other weapons, as it takes up that all-important slot that could be used for other powerful firepower.
