pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Maybe not the best sniper in the game for damage. Being craftable makes the barrier for entry into getting those great snipers easier. Reconstruction or Rewind Rounds and Fourth time's the Charm allow you to fire for what feels like forever. The Supremacy can roll something similar and it can shoot for over 50 shots. Precision Instrument gives you some great damage over your larger mag but isn't the same instant bonus like Firing Line or Vorpal Weapon. Not the worst weapon to craft even if you do have your tried and true DPS weapon." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 106 from 18 June 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0GYlriUxhFqNHGLqb84C1G?si=bb5a2c9b339d4c35) with @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr. First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against major and bosses in end-game content. Shapeable. If you already have a good backup DPS sniper then you can safely pass on Embraced Identity. Decent base stats so, as ever, handling is the stat to boost with the barrel perk. Tactical Mag plus a Backup Mag mod gets you to 6 shots, or Appended Mag + Backup Mag gets you to 7. In the first trait column, Rewind Rounds or Reconstruction are both excellent. In the second column, Precision Instrument or High Ground both boost damage via different proc mechanisms, depending on whether you have a big crit spot to aim for, or can get your feet at least one metre higher than the feet of what you're shooting at (so, weirdly, you can have it procced and still be shooting up at a taller enemy's head). The Dealer's Choice origin trait is nice to have (who doesn't love more super energy?) - with two or three Pale Heart weapons, you'll notice the difference! Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Embraced Identity certainly falls off in PvP. With the lack of Snapshot Sights most players won't even touch it. Though, similarly to Someday, if you use Arc or Prismatic you can run Elemental Capacitor for 100 handling on top of Opening Shot for better aim assist. With the addition of Prismatic I think Elemental Capacitor is going to become a more common perk." Recommended MW: Handling.
