Firefright god roll & best perks

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Any] "Firefright takes the Scathelocke AR frame, so feels familiar, and comfortable. Craftable, and sporting new-wave perks that have had some lukewarm reception. Firefright is a reliable workhorse Auto that I'd spec highly into Stability/Handling, namely with perks like Threat Detector/Hip Fire Grip, then E-Cap, or Surrounded if you feel you can make use of the damage perk." tags:pve

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvE first-choice roll for Match Game content. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). Precision frame, so you don't need to worry about recoil direction. Improving stability helps you group shots at middle distances, and improving reload speed, or adding a combat effect in the mag always helps. Well-Rounded can proc with Osmosis on a grenade throw, or Threat Detector helps with weapon feeling in CQC. An Osmosis-enhanced weapon works with both Elemental Ordinance and Font of Might to boost well production and use to boost damage output, as well as provided options in Match Game activities. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Surrounded Spec mod.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Firefright is one of the better precision frame auto rifles we have gotten recently. Through a combination of a mag increasing perk and bonus damage of your choice you’ll have a wonderful time shooting this auto. It’s stats might mislead you, but overall I think Firefright is an excellent choice for a good all-around auto." Recommended MW - Reload.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvE first-choice roll for end-game content. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). Precision frame, so you don't need to worry about recoil direction. Improving stability helps you group shots at middle distances, and improving reload speed, or adding a combat effect in the mag always helps. It's difficult to overlook Threat Detector and Surrounded as a pairing that proc on the same conditions - Enhanced Surrounded with the Surrounded Spec mod gives you a massive 47% boost to CQC damage! Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Surrounded Spec mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvP backup roll for duelling. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). Precision frame, so you don't need to worry about recoil direction. Invest in range without harming other stats - High-Caliber Rounds or Armor Piercing Rounds boost range as well as providing useful combat effects. Then in the trait slots, Hip-Fire grip improves usability close-up and Elemental Capacitor, especially running an Arc subclass providing a big handling bump, helps with a stat boost (but stability from Void or improved recoil direction and ADS speed from Stasis aren't bad too bad either). Recommended MW: Range, with a Freehand Grip mod, to double down on hip-fire, or an Icarus Grip mod gets the Airborne Effectiveness to 31, which makes Firefright a jack of all trades - usable in the air, as well as at mid-range while ADS or closer up while hip-firing.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Similar to a lot of weapons this season, Firefright suffers from its frame, not its perks. Threat detector and elemental capacitor both are incredible on any weapon and adagio on a precision frame feels really fun to use. Because of vanilla D2 and the usage of Uriel’s Gift and other precision frame auto rifles, the current day auto rifles have the worst optimal and body shot TtK, resulting in lukewarm results at best, and at worst, not an enjoyable experience."
