I disagree. Pulse Rifles are like any other class of gun -- some of them are garbage and others are not. You need to find the right PR. Red Death is a crazy good gun that just gets ignored because it's a pulse rifle. It's accurate, staggers enemies and on top of all of that, it heals you with every kill. I have it near maxed and it's awesome. I haven't come across someone else using it in weeks which is disappointing -- people are missing out. In PvP it actually does pretty well on the bigger maps, but in the end Auto Rifles gonna Auto Rifle.
Stranger's Rifle is bad in PvE end game because it's a rare. In PvP it's on par with Red Death.
Yes, the Red Death seems to be the exception to the rule, would try it if I ever got it, but other PRs just aren't worth using over other choices (HCs, ARs, SRs). The fact that the only truly viable PR is an exotic is disappointing.
