Sleeper exotic to pair with any pulse in pvp is cadmus ridge on stasis titan. Slice on Beli allows you to choose whether or not to play off your barricade to get the free diamond lance. Slice enables you to move up after placing your barricade in an unfavorable location and win most if not all 1v1 gunfights. In gunfights where multiple people challenge you, landing a single burst as 3 crits, will net you a diamond lance which in many cases, is a free kill.

Do not sleep on slice in pvp, especially if you play controller, because of how demanding 4 bursts are unless you're using it for covering fire it actually helps significantly in duels as well as general supports for teammates. Besides that there is 1 roll on it that I want for potentially the dumbest reason....I want vorpal/deconstruct. Now hear me out on this, I simply want to see how good this weapon is, combined with the hakke origin trait, at breaking barricades and bubbles/wells. They are the bane of my existence in pvp and trials, and I would love to have SOMETHING thats both a decent gun by itself as well as good at breaking those alone without teammate support (which I never have)

You're right about pulse rifles vs PVE. For some reason, the burst firing nature of pulse rifles doesn't... FEEL right in anything but PVP. In PVP you want accuracy. In PVE, you want volume of fire.
