pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Luna Regolith III is the new vanguard sniper. Triple Tap and Clown Cartridge are the best in slot, but Field Prep will be great for longer damage phases. Firing Line is going to be your best damage buff, but Higher Ground will be good for solo players. It's not the most reliable as you can't always be higher than your target. But when it works, an extra 20% is an extra 20%." Recommended MW: Reload.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 77 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4RxkTOwLINWvKzUitNoAFy?si=1426d1f760c544b5) with @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr while @CourtProjects is on holiday. First-choice PvE pick for burst damage against Major Spec enemies in end-game content. Named after the unconsolidated debris that covers the moon's surface, the first thing to say is that, if you already have a decently rolled Aggressive Sniper Rifle (in the hope that they get a touch of love in a future balance pass), you can move along as there's nothing to see here. The stats are weak in a currently (as at v7.2.0.3) weak subtype, but if you're looking for a more easily obtained weapon, it's still very usable. It's a Vanguard weapon, so there is a huge trait pool - if you do want the best chance of a usable drop, reset your ranks a few times first, before you focus your engrams. As with all Sniper Rifles, Handling is king - there should be time between shots for the reticule to settle, so you don't need so much stability, making Fluted Barrel the top choice, with Arrowhead Brake, and Corkscrew Rifling as alternates. Tactical Mag gets you four in the mag, which is the same as Appended or Extended, so is the top choice there (although Extended Mag + Backup Mag does get you to 5 total). In the first trait column as your support perk, you can make an argument for Triple Tap or Clown Cartridge, both of which can get you to 5 shots without reload with a base mag of 4, or 7/8 shots if the base mag is 5. Alternatively, Field Prep speeds up reloads and boosts reserve ammo. In the second trait column, as your signature perk, Explosive Payload is the best option for additional damage for solo play, or Firing Line works in a fireteam. While it's not a game-changer, the origin trait's Wild Card submunitions can be fun to help damage nearby adds on a kill. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a damage-boosting (Major or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod (only with Extended Mag).|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "In PvP there are really only a few options. Max handling with Snapshot Sights and Opening Shot will be the most sought after roll. But I wouldn't be opposed to Eye of the Storm, Moving Target, or even one of my favorite silly perk combos: Opening Shot and Under Pressure. Previously this was only on the Occluded Finality with its monstrous zoom. That also helped in bullet bending, but as the majority of players prefer short zooms this will allow other players to enjoy my silly combo." Recommended MW: Handling.
