pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Here is a weapon that should not see much use in PvE. Unsurprisingly a PvP weapon is good in PvP, Eye of Sol returns but without Outlaw, Field Prep, or any real good reload perk. Nothing exists on Eye of Sol that will propel it to see any use in general PvE other than to practice for PvP. The best damage perk is either Firing Line or Vorpal Weapon. Precision Instrument is great but you’ll almost ever see the full benefits of it." Recommended MW: Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "I am glad Eye of Sol is back but if it is better than before will depend on how you view it. Snapshot Sights and Opening Shot in the same column still means those with the OG Eye of Sol are still winning. Moving Target is a great secondary, but there’s one version I am really interested in." Recommended MW: Handling.

What these Eye of Sol perks do

Perpetual Motion

While moving at a minimum of 2 meters per second: Grants a Stack of 'Perpetual Motion' after 2 seconds and a second Stack after 10 seconds. Each Stack provides 10 Stability, 10 Handling, and 10 Reload Speed. All Stacks are removed if movement speed is below 2 m/s for 0.5 seconds. Works and can activate while stowed.

Firing Line

Being within 15 meters of 2 allies grants 20% increased Precision Damage.

No Distractions

Grants 35% Flinch Resistance after 1 second of Aiming Down Sights (ADS) without firing. Remains active until you're no longer ADS. Timer starts as soon as the ADS input is pressed.

Vorpal Weapon

Reloading the weapon (except on Bows) or missing removes all stacks... usually. Heavy Burst Frame weapons can only gain 1 stack per burst. Adaptive Burst Linear Fusion Rifles require 1.5?
