pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "~~Honestly, did we need another void adaptive machine gun? Bungie, you couldn't have made this Stasis or Strand to give some love to them? Commemoration got a refresh and is craftable. Hammerhead released with Into the Light. Corrective Measure was first, yes.~~ But that's now so many Void ~~adaptive~~ frame machine guns. Withering Gaze does top the list as being unique, but Killing Tally and Rewind Rounds will probably be what most players use. I have been corrected. It's now an aggressive frame. Slightly unique but not enough for me. Should have been a different element." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "You do have some interesting options in PvP with Firefly and High-Impact Reserves allowing for some really quick kills and some AoE, machine guns are mostly fine right now but give them a slight nudge or knock something else down and you've got a powerhouse. ~~If only there weren't TWO OTHER MACHINE GUNS THAT ARE EQUALLY AS GOOD.~~ Aggressive Frame, so slightly better TtK but more headshot requirements." Recommended MW: Range.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 131 from 5 March 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TAB3PL2u2Qigv2YejzhGJ?si=09c3555ccf5c4dcc) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against Elites, Champions and Minibosses in both general at-level or better, and in end-game underleveled content, particularly with void builds. Corrective Measure has returned with a rare frame change - from Adaptive to Aggressive - and is possibly now the strongest LMG in-game. At base, the stats are excellent by comparison with its peers - 47 Range and 15 Zoom equates to 47.28m ADS and 29.55m hipfire, 55 Stability is ×1.1787 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 45 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.40s ADS and 0.36s stow speed, 43 Reload Speed is a 4.97s reload and Recoil Direction is 85. Base magazine size is 59 (maximum 91), and with 0/1/2/3 reserves mods total ammo is 405/451/496/498 (max 601). The barrel perk can be used to improve the Handling, and the magazine perk can be used to boost mag size to take advantage of the origin trait. For burst damage, we have the reworked Redirection in the first column, which lets you build stacks up to 30, 3 at at time for Minor add kills, and use them 3 at a time for ×1.33 damage (2 at a time for ×1.5 when enhanced) against Majors and Bosses - so think of it as a way to bank an extra 10 or 15 shots of burst damage against against orange and yellow bar enemies enemies by killing adds. In the second column, you can add a second damage scalar with Killing Tally for up to ×1.3 damage as long as you don't reload or stow or One for All for ×1.35 damage for 10s if there are adds around to proc it. The Timelost Magazine origin trait is very strong for PvE - essentially, the Thresh trait perk for free to build your super quickly on kills, and then providing a ×2 magazine size for 20s after your super finishes, refilling the mag from your reserves, making it ideal for going on a killing spree. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Backup Mag mod. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Corrective Measure has returned with a rare frame change - from Adaptive to Aggressive - and is possibly now the strongest LMG in-game. At base, the stats are excellent by comparison with its peers - 47 Range and 15 Zoom equates to 47.28m ADS and 29.55m hipfire, 55 Stability is ×1.1787 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 45 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.40s ADS and 0.36s stow speed, 43 Reload Speed is a 4.97s reload and Recoil Direction is 85.

The barrel perk can be used to improve the Handling, and the magazine perk can be used to boost mag size to take advantage of the origin trait. For sustained boss damage, the first trait perk column sensible choice is Rewind Rounds - there's every chance you'll get to the end of a damage phase and never have to reload. In the second column, for damage, Killing Tally lets you hold an up to ×1.3 damage boost until reload or stow, or One for All give you a ×1.35 boost for 10s if there are adds around to help regularly re-proc. As a utility perk option, Withering Gaze applies Weaken for 10s to boost your whole fireteam's damage by an effective ×1.15 just for ADSing for 1.5s. The Timelost Magazine origin trait is very strong for PvE - essentially, the Thresh trait perk for free to build your super quickly on kills, and then providing a ×2 magazine size for 20s after your super finishes, refilling the mag from your reserves, making it ideal for boss damage phases.

Corrective Measure has returned with a rare frame change - from Adaptive to Aggressive - and is possibly now the strongest LMG in-game. At base, the stats are excellent by comparison with its peers - 47 Range and 15 Zoom equates to 47.28m ADS and 29.55m hipfire, 55 Stability is ×1.1787 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 45 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.40s ADS and 0.36s stow speed, 43 Reload Speed is a 4.97s reload and Recoil Direction is 85.

The barrel perk can be used to improve the Handling, and the magazine perk can be used to boost mag size to take advantage of the origin trait. For a fun roll for add clearing, the void wombo combo of Destabilizing Rounds and Demoralize spreads volatility and procs Volatile Rounds for 4.5s as well as applying Weaken for a ×1.15 damage boost for your whole fireteam, with both synergising well with void aspects and fragments. The Timelost Magazine origin trait is very strong for PvE - essentially, the Thresh trait perk for free to build your super quickly on kills, and then providing a ×2 magazine size for 20s after your super finishes, refilling the mag from your reserves, making it ideal for going on a killing spree.
