pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “Midha's Reckoning is not the best PvE fusion, it can overflow reservoir bursts, but so can Glacioclasm, or if you do not mind reloading you can get that through Snorri-fr4. it is not a terrible weapon by any means, it just has a larger hill to climb versus some other King's Fall weapons.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Arc Fusion Rifle Special Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (PvP Controller): Recommended MW: Stability “PvP is another place with a high hill to climb, but Midha's Reckoning can also double dip into charge time reduction perks to make it easier to slay out. Backup plan will nail that first kill, then you will have successful warm-up for the second onward. Not the flashiest weapon, but if you like voops, give her a try.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Arc Fusion Rifle Special Ammo)

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for end-game content. Shapeable. The Origin Perk is aimed at playing with a fireteam - the larger, the better your magazine size after reload will be. Decent in-slot stats compared to Exile's Curse or Wizened Rebuke. Generally, with fewer bolts being fired from a High-Impact frame, you don't have to worry so much about stability, so can either push the range or improve handling with your barrel. Any Battery with Backup Mag pushes you up to eight shots in the battery, so why not take advantage of a shorter charge time from Accelerated Coils? Further build into the faster charge time with Cornered, add ammo reserves and faster reloads with Field Prep, or trigger health regeneration on kills with Unrelenting in the first trait column. With a battery size of eight, you'll get up to five overflowed shots with the origin trait if you're in a Raid near a full fireteam, or three reloading in a normal fireteam of three. Reservoir Burst procs on any overflowed charges from the origin trait, giving you a 25% damage bonus and those lovely explosions on kills (maybe with Arc 3.0 Spark of Beacons for a bit of blinding too) on them all. Recommended MW: Range or Handling, with a Backup Mag mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-God, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-EndGame, Controller, MKB

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for end-game content. Shapeable. The Origin Perk is aimed at playing with a fireteam - the larger, the better your magazine size after reload will be. Decent in-slot stats compared to Exile's Curse or Wizened Rebuke. Generally, with fewer bolts being fired from a High-Impact frame, you don't have to worry so much about stability, so can either push the range or improve handling with your barrel. Increasing the battery size with Ionised Battery and Reservoir Burst pushes you to the maximum of 8 in the mag (with Enhanced RB you only need Enhanced Battery). You should be getting plenty of kills with Reservoir Burst, so you can use Unrelenting to recover your health while in combat. With a battery size of eight, you'll get up to five overflowed shots with the origin trait if you're in a Raid near a full fireteam, or three reloading in a normal fireteam of three. RB procs on any overflowed charges from the origin trait, with a 25% damage bonus and those lovely explosions on kills (maybe with Arc 3.0 Spark of Beacons for a bit of blinding too) on them all. Recommended MW: Range or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-God, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-EndGame, Controller, MKB

Inspired by DMB Podcast 277 with @illPhysics (and thanks to @Legoleflash). First-choice PvP pick - one of those rare weapons that works for both duelling and kill-chaining. Shapeable. Definitely not meta out of the box as at v6.2.0.7 with a base TTK of 1.09s with four bolts, but there's a perk combination that helps with that. Most stats are okayish, with Aim Assistance a standout highest in class - add in some targeting mods on the weapon and helmet if you want to build into this weapon. You're only firing five bolts, so you can spec into range with your barrel, as controlling the recoil should be easier. With the battery perk, you might be tempted by Accelerated Coils for an even faster charge time, but you'll probably get more use from Projection Fuse's extra range for consistency. The real fun is in the two trait columns - Backup Plan gets you to 100 Handling on swapping, and brings the TTK for your first shot down to 0.81s. After your first kill, Successful Warm-Up kicks into reduce it still further to 0.73s. You still need to hit 4 out of 5 bolts, but the targeting mods make that much easier to achieve, and the TTK is faster than an out-of-the-box Rapid Fire Fusion Rifle. Recommended MW: Range, with a Targeting Adjustor mod.

Increasing the battery size with Ionised Battery and Reservoir Burst pushes you to the maximum of 8 in the mag (with Enhanced RB you only need Enhanced Battery). You can get around the reload penalty from Ionised Battery when crouching with Field Prep (and have more ammo in reserve) to use in combination with Reservoir Burst. With a battery size of eight, you'll get up to five overflowed shots with the origin trait if you're in a Raid near a full fireteam, or three reloading in a normal fireteam of three.

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for Arc 3.0 builds in end-game content. Shapeable. The Origin Perk is aimed at playing with a fireteam - the larger, the better your magazine size after reload will be. Decent in-slot stats compared to Exile's Curse or Wizened Rebuke. Generally, with fewer bolts being fired from a High-Impact frame, you don't have to worry so much about stability, so can either push the range or improve handling with your barrel. Any Battery with Backup Mag pushes you up to eight shots in the battery, so why not take advantage of a shorter charge time from Accelerated Coils? Further build into the faster charge time for burst damage against Majors with Cornered, in the first trait column. With a battery size of eight, you'll get up to 13 shots with the origin trait if you're in a Raid near a full fireteam, or three reloading in a normal fireteam of three. Golden Tricorn x2 boosts damage by 50% for 10s, to melt Majors and the occasional Boss (maybe with Arc 3.0 Spark of Beacons for a bit of blinding too). Recommended MW: Range or Handling, with a Backup Mag mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-God, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-EndGame, Controller, MKB
