Aside from these aesthetic details, HI Needler is the closest to being a major sandbox participant than all other counterparts from previous games.
I think HI Needler is in a very good spot.

Yeah it’s the most powerful the weapon has ever been. I’m not convinced it’s worth picking up over other weapons still.
Had a 10 Needler kills challenge and had a bit of fun with it but it did feel a little too weak at times in terms of kill time and range. Although I could be being a little mean there, just felt like I would have done more with AR/Sidekick.
It’s more of something you use to hipfire and hose someone down in mid range. The ability to just hose someone down while keeping your own strafe unpredictable because of your lack of actually needing to aim is a huge advantage, provided the enemy isn’t fielding something that instagibs you.
Needlers letting loose in optimal range gives your target about 2seconds of timed life before they get pink misted. Very reliable weapon to get easy kills.
Something great that could be implemented would be to allow the neelder to track and supercombine the vehicles, that would make it great at close range AND a good way to punish vehicles that attempt to ram the user

I’m still not very pleased by the Needler sounds.
