This patch might make the canis usable again

    Instead of the sirius winning hands down for a SMG character, the canis might be attractive now with a slight higher fire rate and the unstable ammunition no longer punishing cone of fire. However:Unstable ammunition downgrades headshots by 80%, but you hit headshots more often.

    I wonder how this is going to play out.

    while i agree with the part about the canis... if you want to SMG on Vanu you use the Eridani. period.

    Less ammo. You cant kill two birds with 1 rock (or clip, in this case)

    easily with aiming :p
    even if not you can slap an extended mag on it and get 2 to 3 kills per mag tho i always ran ALS because it just extends your CQC range to other peoples close to medium range

    I always got told to use the Sirius, but yeah, I prefer the Eridani over the Sirius, too. With extended mags. With the UA cone penalty gone you basically have some kind of Cyclone with the Canis. And you can opt not to use it with UA, they got the headshot bonus nerf vs hitting more often when you shouldn't about right though.
