pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Eyes Unveiled looks to be a decent contender if you don't have any precision frame linear fusion rifles collecting dust in your vault. Overflow, Triple Tap, and Field Prep are all ways to get ammo, either by doubling the magazine, giving ammo back, or holding more in reserves. Reservoir Burst also gives you extra damage and some AoE splash damage on the first (or overflowed) shot. Frenzy gives bonus damage on every shot after it activates, and Chain Reaction gives a lot of explosions. Pick your poison and pair it with the best alternate column." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Linear fusions in PvP haven't been the most meta choice. They have a charge time. They need to be aimed. They're less ideal than a point and click-in-their-general-direction weapon like a rocket or grenade launcher. That's just how it goes. Withering Gaze is phenomenal for the times when you hit a limb or a torso instead of their head allowing you or your teammates a very easy follow up kill. Unfortunately there's absolutely nothing to aid Withering Gaze. Even Perfect Float is the best we have and that's mid at best." Recommended MW: Range or Charge Time.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 129 from 4 February 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/19eFPPXbMv7cC0w8kJ234H?si=d61c9144b9aa4974) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for sustained Boss damage in general, and end-game underleveled content. Eyes Unveiled is a decent option if you don't already have a crafted Taipan but if you do, you can safely pass. At base, the stats are a bit low - 35 Range, 52 Stability is ×1.1360 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 25 Handling is 0.46s ready, 0.37s ADS and 0.37s stow speed, 18 Reload Speed is a 2.53s reload and Recoil Direction is 59. The mag size is 5 (max 7), and with 0/1/2/3 reserves mods total ammo is 24/26/27/28 (max 28). Use the barrel perk to add Handling and help control recoil to land crits easier, while the battery perk can be used to increase magazine size or speed up Charge Time. For sustained damage, in the first trait perk column Field Prep or Enhanced Field Prep gets you to maximum total ammo with a single reserves mod, and boosts Handling and Reload when crouched. In the second, Frenzy boosts damage by ×1.15 and maxes out Handling and Reload Speed stats while in combat, or if you're in a fireteam, Withering Gaze weakens targets to boost your whole fireteam's damage by an effective ×1.15 just for ADSing for 1.5s. Willing Vessel passively increases Stability, Handling and Reload Speed for dealing damage (as well as on a kill too), particularly when you're in a fireteam, which is always useful. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with an Adept Backup Mag mod. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-Utility PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
