Heliocentric QSc god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I've seen some buzz with this sidearm. For one it is probably the easiest way to use Heal Clip as sidearms have naturally quick reload times. Cure also works better in PvE compared to PvP. Being able to scorch rooms with Incandescent and get some healing back like Unrelenting makes this a sidearm version of the CALUS-Mini Tool."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 78 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5KOQQ9QtvSEhRVb4vjeO3B?si=8c4784e02b87424e) with @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. First-choice PvE pick for Solar synergy and add clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content (although you'll be brave to be that close!). Heliocentric (translation "sun-centred") has great base stats, so you can go for a little extra range, stability or handling with your barrel park - that's pretty much down to your preference. Reload Speed will be the most important magazine perk stat boost, so Flared Magwell, Tactical Mag or even Alloy Mag are good picks. The tried and true combination of Demolitionist in the first trait column as the support park to regenerate grenade energy, and Adrenaline Junkie in the second as the signature perk to use that grenade to boost damage by 33% is always worth considering, if you don't have that combination on a sidearm already, but don't overlook the passive damage and stat boosts from Frenzy and Surrounded either. The Nadir Focus Origin Trait adding range and accuracy on repeated hits isn't game-changing, but it is nice to have. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for Solar synergy and add clearing Minor Spec enemies in general content.

Reload will be the most important magazine perk stat boosts, so Flared Magwell, Tactical Mag or even Alloy May are good picks. The new to S22 Heal Clip as the first column support perk provides you and any one nearby with a burst of Cure when you reload after a kill, or Demolitionist refunds grenade energy - pair either with Incandescent in the second column as the signature perk, for Solar synergy, with scorch and ignite kills adding to the grenade energy tally too.

The unique trait combination that the chase is on for is Heal Clip as the first column support perk, and Kill Clip as the second column signature perk. Proccing both with a reload after a kill gives you and anyone near a burst of Cure, while adding 25% damage for 5s.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): " I don't think the Heliocentric QSc will have as much fun in PvP. Kill Clip is the only solid fourth column perk, and while Rangefinder did get nerfed it will be strong on this sidearm for pushing out the AA, thus extending its feel. You'll still want to push out the range via Hammer-Forged Rifling, Accurized Rounds and a Range MW." Recommended MW: Range.
