pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "We got ourselves a new void trace rifle. If you missed Hollow Denial then this will be for you. I think Hollow Denial is better than Chronophage, but it's a decent alternative. Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds are great Void synergy, but for better general use Auto-Loading Holster and Target Lock will always keep you topped off and have some great damage. If you're looking for more of a main weapon then Feeding Frenzy and Desperate Measures will fit that bill." Recommended MW: Stability.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 115 from 6 September 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6axWXT6NCn4jZVuRkCTfiu?si=72aafbad8138409a) with @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for add clearing minor enemies in end-game content. Chronophage is only the second legendary void trace rifle since season 17 and, unfortunately its stats are on the low side. At base, 67 Range equates to 34.51m while ADS, 51 handling is 0.38s ready, 0.29s ADS speed and 0.35s stow speed, while the reload speed of 44 is a 2.06s reload. Total ammo is the lowest of its peers at only 430 out of the box (478/527/551 with 1/2/3 reserve mods), so to be useful this does need addressing. On controller, Stability is useful to keep the beam on a crit area, or if you're using M+KB you can add Handling with the barrel park. For the battery perk, Enhanced Battery boosts the total ammo to 456 (508/559/585) and Ionized Battery gets you to 461 (513/565/591). For end-game use, Shoot to Loot as the first trait perk is always useful to pick up ammo blocks and power orbs, but also reloads all your weapons, bypassing reload penalties. In the second, One for All provides an easy to proc a ×1.35 damage boost, or Desperate Measures is easy to proc while Transcendent with grenade and melee kills, for up to a ×1.3 boost. 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? For anyone interested, the name's derived from Greek words "chronos" and "phage", literally meaning "time-eater" and is used colloquially in French to mean "time-consuming". Recommended MW: Stability (Controller) or Handling (M+KB), with a Quick Access Sling mod.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.0.5.4 (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): PvE pick for add clearing minor enemies in end-game content, particularly with void builds. Chronophage is only the second legendary void trace rifle since season 17 and, unfortunately its stats are on the low side. At base, 67 Range equates to 34.51m while ADS, 51 handling is 0.38s ready, 0.29s ADS speed and 0.35s stow speed, while the reload speed of 44 is a 2.06s reload. Total ammo is the lowest of its peers at only 430 out of the box (478/527/551 with 1/2/3 reserve mods), so to be useful this does need addressing. On controller, Stability is useful to keep the beam on a crit area, or if you're using M+KB you can add Handling with the barrel park. For the battery perk, Backup Mag on its own added gets you to the maximum of 461 (513/565/591), so you can opt for Particle Repeater for more stability, or Light Battery for Handling and Reload Speed. For end-game use, Shoot to Loot as the first trait perk is always useful to pick up ammo blocks and power orbs, but also helpfully reloads all your weapons. In the second, One for All provides an easy to proc a ×1.35 damage boost, or Desperate Measures is easy to proc while Transcendent with grenade and melee kills, for up to a ×1.3 boost.
