The Darkstar is a Pulsar VS1 with a compensator and heat mechanic that gives it infinite ammunition. With the effects of the compensator, your hip-fire cone of fire is bigger but doesn't mean it isn't usable. The compensator gives it the 2nd lowest vertical recoil among VS ARs. The CME having the lowest. This allows it a good aim shooter to focus on headshots more easily with less dramatic effects of the angular vertical recoil.

Aside from the bigger hip cone of fire, another drawback is the fire detect-range is 75 meters instead of the 40 meters of the Pulsar VS1. You have to be more careful when shooting with this weapon and stick with allies. The compensator does reduce the spreading effect of the angular recoil a little bit, but it is noticeably a great deal leaving the medium range capabilities about the same as the standard Pulsar VS1. It is really more the horizontal recoil that limits the range of the weapons than anything else.

Like all directive weapons, the only attachments you can change out is the optics. It is a good weapon and worth pursuing if you like low vertical weapons.
