[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Range] "Judgment is a difficult one to categorise. It has interesting potential, with some decent perk combinations, but after some time with it, I feel fairly sure its meant to just be used as a flinch machine with Timed Payload. Invest highly into range, slide into a lane with Slideshot, and pepper with the range buffs and Timed Payload to force a disengage. It doesn't feel like a sixes weapon to me - better homed in Trials or Rumble, and leaving the sixes slot open for Fatebringer or Eyasluna."

pve pve-minor pve-endgame pve-solo controller mkb 6 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 25. PvE backup roll for end-game content. Very stiff competition in-slot from Fatebringer, Eyasluna and DFA, but there are a few trait combinations that help claim a spot in your Vault. Look to boost Handling and Stability with sight and mag, to help gunfeel (or maybe add a bullet or two). For end-game, particularly solo, content, it's difficult to top Demolitionist and Osmosis to give you an additional element to help break shields. Drops from the first (Phalanx Echo) encounter if you're looking to farm it. Recommended MW: Stability or Handling, with a damage boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Look to boost Handling and Stability with sight and mag, to help gunfeel (or maybe add a bullet or two). For end-game content, Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie is a natural pairing, for grenade-based builds. Drops from the first (Phalanx Echo) encounter if you're looking to farm it.

Slideshot

Sliding refills 15% of the Magazine (rounded up) and grants 20 Range and Stability for your next shot (of the burst) within 2.5 seconds. 0.3 second cooldown after activation but can activate multiple times during a slide. Buff is removed on stow.

Osmosis

Grenade Ability usage refills 50% of your Magazine (rounded up) from reserves and changes the weapon's element to match your equipped Grenade Ability until stowed. Magazine Refill cannot be triggered again without stowing the weapon first. Kinetic weapons lose their Passive Damage Bonus against non-Boss PVE Combatants (10% on Primary, 15% on Special). Perks that replace your Grenade Ability (such as Gunpowder Gamble or Transcendence Grenades) will also trigger Osmosis.

Demolitionist

Weapon Kills grant 10% Grenade Ability Energy. Kills with Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Glaives, and Fusion Rifles grant 20%. Using your Grenade Ability refills the Magazine with a 3 second cooldown. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Timed Payload

[PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.
