[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Handling] "Doom of Chelchis (chell-chiss or kell-kiss?) is the does-it-all Scout Rifle. Explo/Frenzy. Adaptive Munitions. Firefly/Dragonfly. It shoots bad guys. It does your taxes. It looks phenomenal. Adaptive Munitions is incredibly strong for Match Game, and with how often Anti-Barrier Scout pops up, it's very valuable here. The 180RPM frame is familiar and well-loved, its stat package is great, and its got unconventional perk combos. It's probably better than my beloved Vouchsafe. I won't definitively admit it, but the sentiment is out there. Fantastic weapon." tags:god-pve

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “Doom of Chelchis is probably the best void scout rifle we have seen in a while. Firefly and dragonfly is a hilarious combo, but another great combo is frenzy and explosive payload. Frenzy bumps up your reload to almost max, and explosive payload carries your damage a bit further. Another fun combo is explosive payload and one for all for easier activations. Vorpal in the third column also means you can get some insane damage combinations with one for all or focused fury. Definitely keep an eye out for this weapon.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Void Scout Rifle Primary Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (M+KB PvP) Recommended MW: Handling “In PvP I can see this scout being a niche but fun choice. Firefly and dragonfly plus radiant gives you discount chromatic fire in the energy slot. Not the most meta choice but I will not be mad if you kill me that way. You can also get the coveted “fatebringer” PvP roll in explosive payload and eye of the storm for dueling, but scout's are not really the best choice for peek shooting and duels in that same capacity.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Void Scout Rifle Primary Ammo)|tags:PvP, M+KB

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for end-game content. The Origin Perk is aimed at playing with a fireteam - the larger, the better your magazine size after reload will be. Good in-slot stats and a great perk pool will give probably give you crafting headaches to shape and level all the rolls you might want! With a Precision Frame, you won't need to worry too much about recoil direction, and you already have tonnes of range, so focus on Stability and Handling, with Tactical Mag or Flared Magwell to help further with stability and reload speed. It's rare to be able to roll two damage perks so if you're looking for something that you can use against Minor adds, the occasional Major or Champion, then Explosive Payload or Vorpal Weapon, in combination with Frenzy or Focused Fury should give you pretty much permanent additional damage uptime. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Adept Big Ones, or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.

Although less useful with precision weapons (although reloading in a fireteam with the origin perk should give you plenty of shots to proc and use), your SOFA (Stats/ One For All) roll is a good as ever for gunfeel stat and damage boosts. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Adept Big Ones, or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.

Adaptive Munitions is S-Tier in endgame, match game, content and when paired with a damage-boosting trait like Frenzy or Focused Fury, you have everything you need for enemies (shileded or not) in end-game content. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Adept Big Ones, or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for void subclasses in general content. The Origin Perk is aimed at playing with a fireteam - the larger, the better your magazine size after reload will be. Good in-slot stats and a great perk pool will give probably give you crafting headaches to shape and level all the rolls you might want! With a Precision Frame, you won't need to worry too much about recoil direction, and you already have tonnes of range, so focus on Stability and Handling, with Tactical Mag or Flared Magwell to help further with stability and reload speed. Then for Void subclasses, apply your void debuff to a target, use the additional damage from Explosive Payload to kill them, and Repulsor Brace to gain an Overshield. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Adept Big Ones, or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 277 with @illPhysics. Shapeable. Backup PvP pick for duelling on larger maps. Not that great as a subfamily in PvP, in un-perked form, but very responsive to any damage buff - Radiant, Empowering Rift and High Energy Fire mean you can achieve a 3-crit kill in 0.67s against any resilience, as at v6.2.0.7. Doom has lower stability and zoom than comparators - this helps with your sight picture, but means the recoil isn't constrained quite as much. It should still be fairly easily controllable, so you can spec into Handling, and maybe a little bit of reload in your barrel and mag. For duelling, Explosive Payload (at 180 RPM) and Eye of the Storm has the potential to really irritate opponents at the same time as making crit shots easier to hit in a firefight. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, 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.
