Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast Versus Enemies episode 48 with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE roll for add clear in end-game activities. The Bray Inheritance trait is really useful for PvE, returning from 0.46% to 2% ability energy from hits (the amount depends on the weapon archetype). Good stats and a stellar PvE perk pool make this an LMG worth chasing. You can choose to sort the recoil with Arrowhead Brake, Chambered Compensator or Extended Barrel, or improve stability with Fluted Barrel or Polygonal Rifling. Most mag choices could have a role - boost your magazine size with Appended or Extended Mag, reload speed with Flared Magwell or Alloy Mag, or both with Tactical Mag. For add clear, you need a reload perk or mag extending perk in your first trait column - Subsistence, Fourth Times The Charm, Reconstruction, Rapid Hit or Feeding Frenzy all work with good old Rampage to boost damage by up to 33%. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Backup Mag, or damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast Versus Enemies episode 48 with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE roll for burst or sustained majors or boss damage in end-game activities. The Bray Inheritance trait is really useful for PvE, returning from 0.46% to 2% ability energy from hits (the amount depends on the weapon archetype). Good stats and a stellar PvE perk pool make this an LMG worth chasing. You can choose to sort the recoil with Arrowhead Brake, Chambered Compensator or Extended Barrel, or improve stability with Fluted Barrel or Polygonal Rifling. Most mag choices could have a role - boost your magazine size with Appended or Extended Mag, reload speed with Flared Magwell or Alloy Mag, or both with Tactical Mag. If you're focusing on one target for damage, Reconstruction overflows your mag to doble size, or Fourth Time's the Charm can keep you topped up against a big boss crit, while Firing Line boosts damage by 20% when you're in a fireteam. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Backup Mag, or damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-BossSpec, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB

[YeezyGT's S15] (PvE): [MW: Handling / Stability] "Don't ever let me see you manually reloading an LMG. Stack up Reconstruction with a mag extender, and you've a match made in heaven. Rampage absolutely mows through enemies, Dragonfly if you want a little more flavour. The beauty of this LMG is how stable it is -- invest in Handling and Stability and you're onto a winner. Very Hammerhead-esque, but in a much nicer form factor."

Adamsdown_Boy - information as at v8.0.0.6 PvE / PvE-Boss / PvE-BossSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): PvE pick for killing boss-tier Subjugators. As per @mossy_max (https://x.com/mossy_max/status/1804893174965338387) - boss-tier Subjugators have a 20% damage reduction to all non-matching damage, going up to 30% DR to all damage after they "screech", which counts as a shield in-game and reacts to shield-based trait perks. If you can get into a Deep Stone Crypt raid, Commemoration can be shaped after 5 red-boxes. First, Arrowhead Brake to help with recoil (if you just drop one, Chambered Compensator or Polygonal Rifling will also to help land consistent crits). Then Tactical Mag with a Backup Mag mod gets you to 75 shots in the mag, or, if you drop one, Appended or Extended Mag work too. In the first trait perk column, Adaptive Munitions increases damage to non-matching Subjugator "shields" for a total damage boost of around +45% after 15 hits (+73% when enhanced). To boost this further, in the second column, you can choose between Firing Line for +20% damage if you're in a fireteam, or Killing Tally for up to +30% if there are adds around. The Bray Inheritance origin trait will do its work in the background, speeding up your class ability regeneration as you land shots. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Backup Mag mod

Killing Tally is the easiest to proc damage boosting perk if you're killing adds - 3 kills equals 30% bonus damage until you stow or reload, which you won't have to do much with Subsistence refreshing your magazine, so you could keep firing until you're empty.
