YeezyGT's S15

[YeezyGT's S15] (PvP): [MW: Handling] "This is probably the best-feeling Sniper in the game when it has high-Handling rolls. At 75 stock Recoil Direction, its near-vertical out of the gate. Arrowhead takes this to 100, more noticeable on Console. You have a lot of options with Frozen Orbit -- Surplus + Snapshot is stupidly fast. No Distractions + Opening Shot is a fan favourite for ensuring calculated headshots. Vorpal actually isn't needed, as you should one-shot headshot almost all Supers. High Impact Reserves if you're a body-shot bandit. The perk pool sounds like it would have been a great PvE option, but the mag size simply isn't there -- stick with Uzume."
