[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Range] [Requires Counterbalance Stock] "Forge's Pledge boasts a very nice perk pool to offset its poor recoil direction, with Surplus/Tunnel Vision/Heating Up and Multikill Clip being the immediate standouts. I feel players can put in some good work with this, though may need to adjust their playstyle due to the somewhat reserved kill potential."

Inspired by Destiny Massive Breakdowns Podcast 230. PvP backup roll - although Third Axiom has better base stats in the energy adaptive pulse rifles subtype. Recommended MW: Stability with Counterbalance mod for Chambered Compensator, Targeting Adjuster for Arrowhead Brake (unless you roll Rampage, in which case Rampage Spec). Elemental Capacitor is most useful with Stasis (Recoil Direction and ADS speed) or Void (stability) subclasses, although Solar (Reload Speed) synergises with Rampage and Multikill Clip.
