[YeezyGT's WQ] [Arrowhead / Counterbalance recommended] [MW: Range / Stability] "Duty Bound is another 600RPM Kinetic with very little fat in the perk pool - some great perks in Frenzy/Vorpal/Rampage/One-for-All, an Origin Trait similar to a bonus Unrelenting, and some consistency options in Perpetual/Zen Moment. The recoil does not feel great on console at all - I'd spec heavily into stability and recoil direction."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "With triple tap, fourth time’s the charm, and actium war rig, you could fire forever. In most cases that is entirely a meme, but against specific bosses it could be useful to have. A more utilitarian roll would be triple tap with vorpal weapon to slot in adept big ones when the grandmaster nightfalls release. Ideally you want to bring up the recoil direction from the base 60, but chambered compensator or extended barrel won’t do as much, and you won’t want to slot a counterbalance mod in favor of any of the spec mods. Arrowhead then becomes the only choice to really improve that recoil to something more desirable. Other options are then just to make the gun feel better. Stats for all pairs really well with one for all, but also fourth time’s the charm or vorpal for a better feeling gun. And perpetual motion will elevate the gun feel without needing to shoot.". Recommended MW - Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "In the crucible there isn’t as much to talk about. perpetual motion or steady hands will enhance your loadout and dynamic sway reduction will help keep your bullets on target. The adaptive frame autos haven’t been extremely meta since their adjustment, but the likes of gnawing hunger or summoner will do a better job.". Recommended MW - Stability.

Community wishlist roll

pve 9 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 11. PvE first choice roll for end-game content. Not too much to offer over other kinetic adaptive auto-rifles like Scathelocke or The Last Breath, other the the origin traits. Recoil Direction and stability both need some attention, so Arrowhead Brake and a stability mag perk help. For endgame rolls you're looking for traits that boost stats or effective mag size and damage without needing a kill. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major, or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 11. PvE first choice roll for general content. Not too much to offer over other kinetic adaptive auto-rifles like Scathelocke or The Last Breath, other the the origin traits. Recoil Direction and stability both need some attention, so Arrowhead Brake and a stability mag perk help. There are traits that boost stats (including reload speed) or effective mag size and in non-endgame activities, Rampage is always reliable. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major, or Taken Spec) mod.
