The Elite dart is one of those darts which is rather hard to control. Only a couple guns in the Elite line do it well, (including none of the secondaries - though the Strongarm is the best by far), but the weapon that has the most handle on the ammunition is the Retaliator. In other words, it could hit a soldier reliably at medium distance, and you could get lucky with shelling over long range (though there are better options for that). In a big battle, sacrificing some rate of fire isn't going to mean much towards whether your side is victorious. The best marksman always wins, and that's why he needs a good tool to do that job. Hence, the Retaliator's balance and stability are unmatched.

So true. Retaliator is an all round beast. You can use it for just about anything. Plus, you can use it as a primary or a secondary. Not to mention, it takes clips and you can reload it really fast.

Also, agreeing with NNN, the stockade takes AGES to reload and the darts go extremely fast.
