Title says it all. You can sometimes one shot the glowy bit on an engine, but even with hits all over the place you can down one with a single clip.

I've used it this way out of desperation in a few places, but it's quite difficult to do so when there are more than two of them shooting at you (or one if you lack cover)

Good to know!

It’s weird, sometimes I feel like the Hyena hits really hard and then other times it feels very underwhelming. I can’t quite put my finger on its effectiveness.

I really like it against bots and bugs but I struggle with it vs squids. It doesn't fire fast enough to drop shields and there are just much better options for a primary vs them.
