Different Times god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Stability. Rapid-Fire Frame(540) Strand Pulse Rifle Primary Ammo. "Different Times needs Arrowhead Brake to compete even as a pulse rifle. Having the second lowest recoil direction at 52 is underwhelming. Jurassic Green is lower but ends better at 50. With Arrowhead Brake and a CB mod you’ll sit at 97 recoil direction. Subsistence will help you keep shooting at low tier activities, and Outlaw will have a slightly higher utility, but is far worse than Rapid Hit. Collective Action is the flavor of the season, but might catch a small nerf soon. Golden Tricorn is my next favorite perk but falls off with Strand not being able to reliably kill with every single ability. Which puts Multikill Clip as the best damage perk."

(??? 1840239774 1482024992 ???): First-choice PvE pick for Strand synergy and minor add clear in general content. Shapeable. Different Times is the first Strand pulse rifle but has poor base stats when compared with other kinetic slot options. The Recoil Direction is awful, so Arrowhead Brake is pretty much a must have in the barrel. Flared Magwell fills in some gunfeel stats, or the Combat Effect magazine perks are all viable. In general, non-endgame content Outlaw and Subsistence are both great for weapon uptime in the first trait column as your signature perk, and pair will with Hatchling in the second column as the signature perk, for Strand subclass synergy.

First-choice PvE pick for add clear in general content. Shapeable. Different Times is the first Strand pulse rifle but has poor base stats when compared with other kinetic slot options. While the Recoil Direction is terrible, we'll control that with one of the traits. Fluted Barrel or Smallbore help fill in a combination of handling, stability or range. Flared Magwell further fills in some gunfeel stats, or the Combat Effect magazine perks are all viable. To help control the recoil, Heating Up adds both stability and recoil direction after a kill to make this very easy to use, and, as this is the first primary weapon able to roll Collective Action, in the second column as the signature perk, that's probably the roll to go for, proccing 20% bonus damage for any elemental pickup.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Stability. Rapid-Fire Frame(540) Strand Pulse Rifle Primary Ammo. "In PvP you’ll still have to use Arrowhead Brake and a CB mod to make this even remotely competitive to its competition. Ricochet Rounds gives you a great stability bump and Moving Target or Headseeker are great neutral options. Multikill Clip for some sprees or Adrenaline Junkie if you have some God-nades."
