- Its normal doesn't do insane amount of damage, however it ignores loaded weak bullet and recovers a fair bit of PP(20 per shot), which means you can use pseudo-melee rotations for PP sustain (PA > PA > 3rd normal). Unlike spread Needle, the normal also has significant range so you don't have to shotgun with it.
All the above actually makes Exa a solid rifle to actually back up your PAs, which actually makes it better for bosses than mobs, despite the AoE on third shot. Needle is still unbeatable for shotgunning groups of mobs though
