Glacioclasm god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 126 from 17 December 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/6SVRlV4ttvPkAm9HA44Km0?si=a9d7a25536b747c3) with @ImpetusAlways, @CourtProjects and @Saint_Kabr (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against Major or Boss enemies in general, and end-game underleveled content. Grab Glacioclasm while you can - unusually, for a world-drop weapon it has great stats as a High-Impact fusion rifle. At base - 63 Range equates to 17.26m when ADS and 13.28m hipfire, 33 Handling is a 0.45s ready 0.36s ADS time and 0.35s stow time, and 15 Reload Speed is a 2.55s reload. Magazine size is 5 (max 8) and with 0/1/2/3 Reserves mods, you'll have total ammo of 16/18/20/22 (max 29). Only firing five bolts, it's a bit more controllable than faster-firing subtypes, so spec into range with the barrel perk. In the battery perk slot, you're aiming to get as many shots as possible, with Ionized or Extended Battery. For the first trait perk, Overflow to instantly double your battery size for picking up ammo, or you can triple your battery size from kills with other weapons. for a burst damage weapon against Majors or a backup weapon for boss damage phases, Controlled Burst in the second trait slot provides ×1.2 damage and ×0.9 charge time just for hitting all your bolts, or Reservoir Burst boosts damage by ×1.25 for every overflowed shot, and detonates on a kill for good AoE damage too. The Dawning Surprise origin trait is pretty potent for PvE - 6 Minor add rapid kills drops a "gift" for your fireteam which on pickup grants +20% energy to all your abilities, restores 22HP and starts health regeneration. Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Void Breaches or when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Panda (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I have always loved Glacioclasm from its first version to now. Slideshot will keep you topped up for Reservoir Burst but the real kicker is going with Omolon Fluid Dynamics for almost 100 stability on each voop. While not game breaking and it does require you to slide often, having near max stability on a High-Impact frame will feel so good." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

Essential perks

Accelerated Coils Arrowhead Brake Reservoir Burst Slideshot

Panda (PvP / M+KB): "Where Glacioclasm really gets to shine is over in PvP. With this specific combination and the last shot you'll have 100 range, and if you're alone 75 aim assist for those shots to connect. It won't be Erentil levels of yore, but it's plenty competitive to destroy shotguns." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

Essential perks

Closing Time Smallbore Lone Wolf Projection Fuse

Stallion (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Make gun shoot faster, small stat bumps, big damage with no reloads. Its.. Its that simple. Subsistence should keep you going, but Envious is technically an option failing that. Personally Res Burst is looking like best in slot, with Withering Gaze maybe being nice for free weaken procs, but honestly Id rather take the ad clear potential." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

Essential perks

Accelerated Coils Reservoir Burst Smallbore Subsistence

Stallion (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Okay, Withering Gaze feels like a bit of a rogue pick. I admit. But! A little extra weaken? Eh why not. Thing shoots at a snails pace anyway, might as well try and get some mileage from the new perk, get weird with it. Slideshot for more stats and free reloads (freeloads, if you will)."
