pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Forgiveness is shaping up to be a more focused Brass Attacks. Brass Attacks could roll a reload perk and damage perk, making it neutrally strong. Forgiveness has two reload bypassing perks in subsistence and demolitionist. Vorpal and grenade focus are great and fall into different use cases. If you already have a Brass Attacks, I don’t see a need for this in your rotation. But if you would prefer a grenade heavy build than Forgiveness is a great pick." Recommended MW - Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Forgiveness will be incredible in PvP. With a base air accuracy stat of 25, Adept Icarus adding +15, and Air Assault giving up to 60 as your health drops, you could have 100 air accuracy with rapid hit, ricochet rounds and a 17m effective range. [...] go for something like demolitionist for the added ability energy and multikill clip for the lethality. If you really like grenade builds in PvP and can secure those grenade kills then adrenaline junkie is the best pick for you. Some great neutral perks are moving target for the flat bonus to aim assist, and rapid hit to make securing that first kill easier." Recommended MW - Range.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 20. PvE backup roll for general add-clear, although at the end of the day, it's still a sidearm - but you might want to save one for Arc 3.0. The Alacrity origin trait stat boosts make this excellent for soloing content. Strong stats for the subtype, but more stability always helps in barrel and mag, although combat effect mags work well too. Subsistence can help Adrenaline Junkie kill streaks going. Recommended MW: Reload Speed or Stability, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 20. PvE first-choice roll for general add-clear, although at the end of the day, it's still a sidearm - but you might want to save one for Arc 3.0. The Alacrity origin trait stat boosts make this excellent for soloing content. Strong stats for the subtype, but more stability always helps in barrel and mag, although combat effect mags work well too. The grenadier combination of Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie is reliably good. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.
