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

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 Controlled Burst in the second trait slot for 10% faster charge time and 20% bonus damage DPS that'll hold up as a burst damage weapon against Majors or a backup weapon for boss damage phases.

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.

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.

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.

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.
