pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Stability. Adaptive Frame(900) Solar Submachine Gun Primary Ammo. "Adaptive frame SMGs in PvP are not considered best of their class. Lightweights do the job better and within the same time to kill. Arrowhead Brake will keep the recoil direction vertical and make your shooting experience better. Ricochet Rounds gives a great boost to stability and range, Perpetual Motion will bring up a few more stats. The buff to Fragile Focus has made it an incredibly strong perk, I would look for that first to push the range out to 18.63m with this exact roll. You can get higher range if you prefer to compete more with Shayura’s Wrath or Immortal."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Stability. Adaptive Frame(900) Solar Submachine Gun Primary Ammo. "Bug-Out Bag returns to us. I didn’t love its original form, so let’s see if this is the redemption arc of the century. In PvE you might enjoy a 100 recoil direction, so Arrowhead Brake is the best call. All 900 RPM SMGs are bullet hoses, so I think that increasing the mag size is the best way to go. You could also completely circumvent reload through Subsistence. Another alternative is just bumping up your reload so the downtime between mags is reduced. Flared Magwell coupled with either Threat Detector or Perpetual Motion will bring down your reload speed from 1.86s to either 1.32s with TD2x or 1.47s with PM2x. The easiest damage bonus is Collective Action this season as it neutrally pairs with every subclass. Incandescent works better on Solar builds but can neutrally clear rooms."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 61 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XT0gPkoVSh3cM6gMtSupq?si=18db495353ca49ad) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. (??? 1820235745 ???): First-choice PvE pick for Solar synergy and Minor add-clearing in end-game content. If you haven't got an Incandescent Calus Mini-Tool, the Bug-Out Bag could be a very acceptable alternative. Decent stats, but Fluted Barrel or Smallbore layer on useful gunfeel stat bumps. Flared Magwell adds further stability and reload speed bumps, or any of the Combat Effect magazine perks adds utility, and a little range on top. In the first trait column as the support perk, Perpetual Motion or Slideways both layer on even more stat boosts and Incandescent as the second column signature perk is great for add clearing and builds into your scorch and ignite Solar verbs. Recommended MW: Range, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for Solar synergy and Minor add-clearing in end-game content. If you haven't got an Incandescent Calus Mini-Tool, the Bug-Out Bag could be a very acceptable alternative. Decent stats but, if you get Threat Detector as a perk, you can pretty much ignore stability, handling and reload with your barrel choices, so you might as well control the recoil a little instead - Extended Barrel or Chambered Compensator take the Recoil Direction to a near-perfect 98. Any of the Combat Effect magazine perks adds utility, and a little range on top. In the first trait column as the support perk, Threat Detector at two stacks takes stability to around 80 and maxes out handling and reload speed and Incandescent as the second column signature perk is great for add clearing and builds into your scorch and ignite Solar verbs.
