[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Stability / Handling] "Herod-C is one of the strongest 360RPMs we've seen, with fairly solid stock recoil direction, good base stats, and a number of great perk options. You should definitely spec into stability and handling where possible to combat the sluggish feel of 360s, and then there's great options like Frenzy, Vorpal and One-for-All for higher-end content. Hakke Breach Armaments also combos fantastically with Headstone."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "One way you can spec your Herod-C is to create a pseudo-mag through subsistence and demolitionist; or you could breach and clear using subsistence and headstone to rip through groups of enemies; if bosses are your bread and butter having more damage against them and ammo back through fourth time’s the charm can also leverage the high damage and magazine Herod-C can provide you.".

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Taking their slower rate of fire, as well as crit to body damage, and adding in the requirement of having constant line of sight leaves a lot to be desired. But you can make this weapon work for you if you bring up some of its low points. The recoil has to be 100 through Arrowhead Brake to make your life easier. Taking the combination of perpetual motion and tap the trigger also makes shots easier for you. The final bit to add is extra flinch for your enemies via high-caliber rounds.".

(??? ???): Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 11. PvE first-choice for end-game use. Not the strongest subtype, but worth tucking a roll in case High-Impact Frame ARs ever get some love. Gambit drop, with large perk pools, giving a 1 in 144 chance of getting the two perks you want in the last two columns, before even looking at barrels and mags. Choose barrel and mag depending on your Stability, Handling or Reload Speed preferences. There are really good options to improve weapon performance in the third column, and Vorpal Weapon builds into the foundry intrinsic perk to do more damage against vehicles, turrets, constructs and Stasis crystals. Recommended MW: Stability, Handling or Reload Speed, with damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.
