Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 83 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ISDC0TSrLmfEyPuI9oU2m?si=9fbd5a7cf0bc4f07) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. (Backup PvE pick for solar synergy and Minor Spec add-clearing in general content. Jurassic Green is a solar rapid-fire pulse, with the intrinsic 20% faster reload when its magazine is empty. It's got a similar stat range to its other world-drop peers, but comes a poor second to end-game drops in the energy slot. The recoil direction is a frankly awful 50 at base. The best even Arrowhead Brake can do is bring it up to a not entirely awful 80, and you can choose a little extra range, stability or reload speed with your mag slot perk. Then, in the first trait column as the support perk there are a few decent options to help with reload and gunfeel - Keep Away, Perpetual Motion and Subsistence. For damage, in the second column as the signature trait perk Golden Tricorn is an easy choice - you have plenty of tools in the solar kit to proc the second stack of +50% damage for 10s. Alternatively, you can generate plenty of firesprites or other elemental pickups for a regular +20% damage boost. The Field Tested origin trait is probably the better PvE trait of the two - it'll just work steadily in the background to gradually improve your gunfeel, as long as you don't die! Recommended MW: Range or Handling, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

(Backup PvE pick for solar synergy and Minor Spec add-clearing in general content, if you don't already have a decent Incandescent pulse rifle, and haven't got around to shaping a BXR-55 Battler yet. Jurassic Green is a solar rapid-fire pulse, with the intrinsic 20% faster reload when its magazine is empty. It's got a similar stat range to its other world-drop peers, but comes a poor second to end-game drops in the energy slot. The recoil direction is a frankly awful 50 at base. The best even Arrowhead Brake can do is bring it up to a not entirely awful 80, and you can choose a little extra range, stability or reload speed with your mag slot perk. Then, in the first trait column as the support perk there are a few decent options to help with reload and gunfeel - Keep Away, Loose Change, Perpetual Motion and Subsistence. Incandescent in the second column as the signature perk is great for add clear, as you spread solar scorch and ignite around. The Field Tested origin trait is probably the better PvE trait of the two - it'll just work steadily in the background to gradually improve your gunfeel, as long as you don't die!

(First-choice PvE pick for solar synergy and Minor Spec add-clearing in general content. Jurassic Green is a solar rapid-fire pulse, with the intrinsic 20% faster reload when its magazine is empty. It's got a similar stat range to its other world-drop peers, but comes a poor second to end-game drops in the energy slot. The recoil direction is a frankly awful 50 at base. The best even Arrowhead Brake can do is bring it up to a not entirely awful 80. Looking at the traits, you'll need to prioritise reload speed with the mag perk - Flared Magwell or Tactical Mag, together with the Masterwork. The new to season 22 Heal Clip in the first trait column as the support perk will apply one stack of Cure to you and anyone else near on reloading after a kill, while Incandescent spreads scorch and ignite to help clear adds - two solar verbs in a single package to enhance with your fragments. The Field Tested origin trait will just work steadily in the background to gradually improve your gunfeel, as long as you don't die!

The best even Arrowhead Brake can do is bring it up to a not entirely awful 80. Looking at the traits for this roll, the best option is to just increase the range with Accurized Rounds. The new to season 22 Heal Clip in the first trait column as the support perk will apply one stack of Cure to you and anyone else near on reloading after a kill, while Frenzy in the second column as the signature perk boosts handling and reload speed to 100, and adds 15% damage when procced.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Both rolls for PvP are very similar except for two differences in stat investments. On controller you'll want a bit more stability, on MnK you can invest those stat points into range. Headseeker and Keep Away are the key points, but definitely keep an eye out for Arrowhead Brake to correct that recoil direction." Recommended MW: Range.

SirStallion_ (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "[...] I'm looking for something a little more niche. Perp Motion gives stats when on the move (which this gun desperately needs) and Collective Action gives me a reason to be on the move with its enticing damage boost (that the gun also needs in PvE). Technically this job could be done by frenzy also, but if I build in such a way that both my subclass and guns benefit from pickups, it's a win win."

Clegmir (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "On the PvP side, with the changes to Rangefinder and damage falloff, Killing Wind and Keep Away will be your stars, I think. The former is a “next kill” perk while the latter is to help you secure that first kill. There are a lot of viable rolls for this gun, so if you get one, try it out! I’ll be looking for Killing Wind/Encore and Keep Away/Headseeker, personally." Recommended MW: Range.
