pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “Defiance of Yasmin is my favorite weapon in all of Destiny. I am so very happy it is back. It bridges the gap between PvE and PvP perfectly. With add clear perks like firefly coupled with bigger damage perks like vorpal or firing line you can use your sniper however you want. The raid origin perk and ensemble make it an incredible dps weapon, but it falls behind the likes of Praedyth's Revenge or Succession at either end of the damage spectrums.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Kinetic Sniper Rifle Special Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (PvP Controller): Recommended MW: Handling “In PvP is where this sniper will find its forever home. With incredible aim assist, the sleekest body this side of the golden age, and 40 zoom, it gives Beloved a run for its money. Opening shot and snapshot will be the coveted roll and being crafted makes the rng a lot less harsh. I will definitely be farming this, please just get me in there and get me my baby back. Thanks!“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Kinetic Sniper Rifle Special Ammo)

Inspired by DMB Podcast 277 with @illPhysics. First-choice PvP pick for duelling. Shapeable. Decent stats and a very open 40 Zoom sight - you could almost imagine you're firing a Scout Rifle. As with most snipers, you're looking for snappy handling and as much crit stickiness as possible - Fluted Barrel and Accurized Rounds, and then Snapshot Sights (even after the nerf) and Opening Shot tick all the boxes. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Radar Tuner (to help you stay aware of your surroundings if hardscoping), Quick Access Sling or Sprint Grip mod depending on your preference.
