[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Range] "Fortissimo's pretty crazy - if you wanted to, you could take this thing to 96 Range, 100 Handling. There's a masterclass of perks here, with access to Perpetual/Surplus/Threat Detector/Pulse Monitor/Steady Hands, then E-Cap/Moving Target/Opening Shot/Frenzy/Vorpal. This is a slug frame I much prefer feel-wise to Heritage, closer to the more traditional gun styles from earlier in the franchise's lifespan. I'm sure most people will come across at least one roll that will work for them - it's a great gun."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "In your usual strikes, nightfalls, and Aksis beat downs, it pairs really well with your old FILO of days gone. Lead with FILO, stow it away for auto-loading holster, swap to Fortissimo-11 for the ammo regeneration via fourth time’s the charm. For general utility something like subsistence for mobbing or feeding frenzy for ease of use. Surrounded will also be fun as a passive damage bonus.". Recommended MW - Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Much like Reckless Endangerment, I do think Fortissimo-11 will find better success in the crucible. With access to two of the best PvP perks it will easily find a home as a legendary contender to Chaperone, or a Heritage alternative. Threat detector and opening shot alone are enough to make it competitive. Add in some niche builds like adrenaline junkie and demolitionist for easy one shot body kills, or some more passive perks like moving target and perpetual motion to bring up the low aim assist and better the feel.". Recommended MW - Handling or Range.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 13. PvE first-choice roll for end-game content. The usual huge perk pool, which means a 1 in 144 chance of any two traits from the last two columns, before you even start thinking about barrel and mag. Choose a barrel for Handling, and then Assault Mag for better rate of fire or Tactical Mag for a larger mag and better reload speed. Get better damage uptime from Feeding Frenzy or Subsistence, and use Frenzy to boost damage (and Handling and Reload Speed too). Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.
