Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 91 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/50NPk7xF3Tt6X3DVucE9jU?si=44d2b7d44a5a4aec) with @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against crowds of Minor adds or Major Spec enemies in end-game content. Grab Glacioclasm while you can - unusually, for a world-drop weapon it has great stats as a High-Impact fusion rifle. Only firing five bolts, it's a bit more controllable than faster-firing subtypes, so spec into range with the barrel perk, although don't be put off by pretty much any barrel. 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, there's really only one to consider, and that's Overflow to instantly double your battery size for picking up ammo. Combine that with Reservoir Burst - which works for all overflowed rounds in the battery - to both burst down Majors with 25% bonus damage and help crowd control groups of adds with exploding corpses. The Dawning Surprise origin trait is very useful in PvE - when the behind the scenes counter hits 100, the surprise is spawned on the ground for 10s and grants 10% energy to all abilities, grants 20HP and starts shield/health regeneration. Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a damage boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

Panda (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "One of my favorite fusions as of late has been Loaded Question with Envious Assassin and Controlled Burst. Glacioclasm will have a similar roll but with Overflow. Both will allow you to destroy majors and bosses with ease." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

Essential perks

Accelerated Coils Smallbore Controlled Burst Overflow

Panda

Panda (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Slideshot makes this roll. With Slideshot you can invest the rest of your stats into a mix of range and stability to still hit 100 range and have a whopping 76 stability. If you can somehow wrangle up full ammo you'll only sit 4 points less than 100 stability. High-Impact Reserves helps those long shots keep their damage at range." Recommended MW: Range.

Essential perks

Smallbore High-Impact Reserves Slideshot Particle Repeater

Stallion

pve mkb controller 1 wishlist roll

Stallion (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "This weapon has a lot of options for making Res Burst the star of the show. Slideshot, which also boosts range and stability. Subsistence, which will keep your mag topped up after a kill so you can keep chaining. But the most interesting to me is Overflow. The combination of Overflow and Res Burst is the ultimate combo workhorse for me, you will have multiple back to back Res Burst shots to unload into a boss or to clear a group of mobs. It's the best of both worlds, baked into 1 gun." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

Essential perks

Accelerated Coils Reservoir Burst Fluted Barrel Overflow

Stallion

pvp mkb controller 1 wishlist roll

Stallion (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "This archetype is tricky for PvP, the long charge time is going to leave you vulnerable, the low handling is going to make it feel sluggish and the reload speed is gonna leave you without a functioning weapon many times a match. This roll should help all of those problems at least a little bit. Slideshot, so reloading is as easy as scraping your knees. Eye of the Storm to help you combat missing bolts due to being shot while charging. Charge Time reductions.. because charge time reductions. This thing take a year to charge, might as well cut some time down." Recommended MW: Charge Time.

What these Glacioclasm perks do

Controlled Burst

Scoring a Kill or hitting every shot in a burst grants 20% increased damage and 10% decreased Charge Time for 2 seconds.

Overflow

Upon picking up Special or Heavy Ammo: Refills and Overfills the Magazine from reserves. Overfill amount maxes out at 100% of the Magazine Capacity. Activates even while stowed.

Reservoir Burst

Passively grants 30 Magazine Size stat. (Identical to a Backup Mag mod) While Magazine is at or above maximum capacity: Grants 30% increased damage and causes enemies to explode on death, dealing 162.5 damage in a ? meter radius. Explosions inherit the weapon's element and Combatant Damage Scaling. Explosions triggered with Linear Fusion Rifle kills deal an additional 30% increased damage.

Accelerated Coils

Decreases charge time by 40ms and damage by 2%.

High-Impact Reserves

Increases damage by 12.1% [3%] to 25.6% [6%] as the Magazine drops from 50% of its base capacity to empty. The buff in PVE ranges between 10.3% and 22.9% instead on Fusion Rifles and Aggressive Frame Linear Fusion Rifles. Does not buff the Splash/Explosive damage elements of other perks.

Slideshot

Sliding refills 15% of the Magazine (rounded up) and grants 20 Range and Stability for your next shot (of the burst) within 2.5 seconds. 0.3 second cooldown after activation but can activate multiple times during a slide. Buff is removed on stow.

Eye of the Storm

Grants a scaling buff to Handling and Accuracy as your Shield Health drops below 40 and reaches maximum strength at 0 Shield HP. Buff at maximum strength grants: • 30 Handling • 40% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 17% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth The buff linearly scales from 0% at 80 Shield HP to 100% at 0 Shield HP (Critical Health). It initially triggers as you drop to 40 Shield HP — giving you 50% of the maximum buff. However, as you regenerate your Shield Health, the buff will still remain until you reach 80 Shield HP where the benefits scale down to zero.
