[edit] Field usage
Each slight improvement in every characteristics in comparison of the Quasar makes the Blueshift a direct upgrade of it. Altough, one considere to have it as secondary weapon instead of replacing the first weapon : battlefield experience recommends the Cosmos as first weapon.

[edit] Support
Suppression job can be achieved if the Blueshift is used as a secondary weapon, while the primary being also an AI weapon. Thanks to the uneven reload rate and magasine, a constant stream of bullets can be fired at the enemy.
