Guide Carbon 57 unlocks at Level 46 -- worth the climb?

Eyeing the Carbon 57 -- it's a Submachine Gun that unlocks at Level 46. For people past that point: does it hold up or is it a stepping stone?

This plus 'get your gear out and actually use it' is basically the whole game.

The Carbon 57 take is correct and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.

Small addition for newer players reading: don't overcommit, you can always re-engage.

Co-sign the whole Carbon 57 thing. This is the discussion the section needed.
