Aberrant Action god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I think this might be the best Rocket-Assisted sidearm in the game. While we don't have this *yet* I do think that this will be the go-to energy weapon. Incandescent and Heal Clip on one of the best weapon types will certainly bring better oomph to your loadouts. Zaouli’s Bane be gone." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.0.0.8 (PvE / PvE-MinorSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): PVE pick for add-clearing minor enemies in end-game activities. Shapeable. Aberrant Action is the third rocket-frame sidearm - solar flavour this time, with similar stats to Indebted Kindness (if the Range reads 0, then that's just a bug). In the barrel and mag, you can prefer perks that give extra Blast Radius, Velocity or an extra shot or two (or a bit of a mix) - that's really down to personal preference. Field Prep can add around 8 shots to reserves (10 when enhanced), as well as speeding up reload, so is a solid pick for the first trait perk column. As a second column damage perk, Golden Tricorn's second stack is easy to proc with solar abilities for +50% damage, or (with a rocket's sidearm's lethality), Swashbuckler will be easy to proc and take to five stacks in add-dense areas for up to +33% damage. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is extra AoE damage that inherits the weapon's damage multiplier, so the initial explosion can be more damaging than a special ammo Chain Reaction explosion - what's not to love? Recommended MW: Velocity or Blast Radius, with a Backup Mag mod.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Rocket-Assisted sidearms do not have the same presence in PvP. Beacon Rounds adds some forgiveness in secondary kills but these weapons don't OHK. That alone means the ammo economy won't be the best. You can bump up the damage considerably with Radiant and Golden Tricorn, which with its solar synergy could allow for some really strong blinting or snowballing." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

Shapeable. Aberrant Action is the third rocket-frame sidearm - solar flavour this time, with similar stats to Indebted Kindness (if the Range reads 0, then that's just a bug). For an add clearing role, maximise blast radius with your barrel perk, and then with one eye on the trait perks, look for reload in the mag. Match the lethality of the rocket sidearms with Heal Clip (hence the need to maximise reload speed) and Incandescent, particularly synergising with solar aspects and fragments to boost the verb potency, and you'll be curing yourself x2 and nearby teammates x1 while wiping out add crowds with scorch and ignition.
