Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 79 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1qz5FD88RfmGHDjedV6nGo?si=7e1c1558ecea4f1c) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. First-choice PvE pick for Strand synergy and add clearing Minor Spec enemies in general content. Barrel and Mag re-shapeable. This is the first rapid-fire Strand scout rifle (so you get an Alloy Mag-like 20% quicker reload animation when the magazine is empty), with best-in-class stats compared to other RFs in the kinetic slot. The recoil direction is a bit shonky, so Arrowhead Brake cleans that up a bit, but if you feel able to control it, Fluted Barrel adds to handling for general snappiness. You can choose from any of the combat effect rounds as the mag perk, depending on your preference. For your Strand Synergy, Rapid Hit helps with reload speed and stability, or Rewind Rounds extends your magazine in the first trait column as the support park, while Hatchling is the Strand option-de-jour in the second column as the signature perk. The Cursed Thrall origin perk synergises well with melee builds and is a lot of fun for helping soften up groups of enemies when active. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for add clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content. Barrel and Mag re-shapeable. This is the first rapid-fire Strand scout rifle (so you get an Alloy Mag-like 20% quicker reload animation when the magazine is empty), with best-in-class stats compared to other RFs in the kinetic slot. The recoil direction is a bit shonky, so Arrowhead Brake cleans that up a bit, but if you feel able to control it, Fluted Barrel adds to handling for general snappiness. You can choose from any of the combat effect rounds as the mag perk, depending on your preference, or Flared Magwell for better reload speed. For end-game use, Shoot to Loot as the first trait column support perk lets you gather ammo and orbs of power from a distance and Golden Tricorn can boost damage by 50% when the second stack kicks in - even if Strand is more difficult to proc, especially at the distance you'll be engaging at with a scout rifle. The Cursed Thrall origin perk synergises well with melee builds and is a lot of fun for helping soften up groups of enemies when active.

First-choice PvE pick for add clearing chunkier Minor Spec enemies in end-gamecontent. Barrel and Mag re-shapeable. This is the first rapid-fire Strand scout rifle (so you get an Alloy Mag-like 20% quicker reload animation when the magazine is empty), with best-in-class stats compared to other RFs in the kinetic slot.

You can choose from any of the combat effect rounds as the mag perk, depending on your preference. Rewind Rounds in the first trait column as the support perk works well with new-to-season-22 Precision Instrument in the second as the signature perk to keep the higher damage stacks going for longer, before you reload.
