Not as good as the Torment or S4000, unfortunately. The only nightmarish mobs it can one-shot without EACs are Shamblers, and its hitbox is nowhere near as large as it was in SAS3. Combined with its low firerate, it has an absolutely miserable time on stages like Vaccine and Survivors.

If I can give it one thing, the ability to pierce through shielder's shields is incredibly useful in Apocalypse and Nightmare, despite what I just said. It's the only non-launcher weapon that can do that, and as such, you can wipe out a horde of shielders way faster than someone with any other sniper.

Overall though, if you're interested in buying one of the 400 coin premiums, I'd go with the Torment instead. The homing abilities and blast radius of that weapon will serve you way better when they start to come from all directions, and it deals more damage to bosses. The S4000 is also just an incredible weapon overall. The CAW? It's just a gimmick weapon in its current state, much like the Kelvin. It should have either costed less or had a much larger hitbox on its shots to be of any use.
