[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Any] "Gnawing Hunger is a workhorse that saw a lot of use after its Umbral-focused return in Season of Arrivals. It's got a fairly shallow perk pool filled with viable perks, so just pick up what you like and roll with it. There's some curated Overflow rolls kicking around from back when Tier 3 Reckoning was a thing, and they mostly overshadow the current perks available. Regardless, its a super-reliable 600RPM with a respectable stat package to boot."
