pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "For PvE you can get away with perpetual motion as your pseudo-reload perk. Couple that with reloader gauntlets and you’ll be fine in almost all activities. Vorpal or focused fire are incredible for boss damage or chunking down majors, but I think for most general activities frenzy is going to be the best play." Recommended MW - Reload.

pvp mkb controller 2 wishlist rolls

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "For PvP the best perk to look for is kill clip. Absolutely no competition. This takes the crit damage from 24 (72 per burst) to 31.92 (95.76 per burst) which gives you an incredibly easy three burst kill. Either way you’ll need all three bursts to kill but anything to make kills easier is a bonus. The 540 RPM makes firing at the full RPM incredibly difficult without the full auto retrofit. The issue is that even with arrowhead brake you’ll still want to slot a counterbalance mod to take the recoil direction to 100, which means manually pulling that trigger at 540 RPM." Recommended MW - Stability.

pve pve-god pve-minor pve-endgame controller 1 wishlist roll

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 20. PvE first choice roll for end-game add clear, but suffers a bit comparisons with other rapid-fire frame pulse rifles. Both origin traits have their use in PvE - Stunning Recovery is very useful for when there's a Pulse Rifle anti-champion mod in the season. Improve the Recoil Direction and improve the reload with the barrel and mag, and then Perpetual Motion boosts stats and Frenzy is a reliable, passive, 15% damage and stat boost. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Adept Big Ones or Taken Spec) mod.
