warlockmaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Lightweight Scouts exist in this weird space for me within PvP: They lack the punch I'm expecting from a scout but don't quite fire fast enough to compensate; that said, Nature Reclaimed does have some perks that may help. Lone Wolf and Box Breathing work together to increase aim assist and crit multiplier, leading to a devastating first shot in an engagement. Of course, the classics of Kill Clip and Explosive Payload are also present, so you do have options. As most maps won't require a full investment in Range, the focus should be on Stability for your Masterwork, Barrel, and Magazine." Recommended MW: Range or Stability

warlockmaggie (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "I finally have a replacement for my Pleiades Corrector in Nature Reclaimed! Sporting a number of solid scout rifle perks, you really can't go wrong with any of them, but the tried and true Heal Clip + Incandescent is hard to beat. Range, Stability and Recoil tend to be problems for the Lightweight archetype, so slap on those Magazine and Barrel perks and you'll be ready to rock!" Recommended MW: Stability or Reload Speed

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 141 from 27 May 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/51wAzrVIRJRsBHGTMCLZ0n?si=fade7bb615184d3e) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for clearing Minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with a solar build. Nature Reclaimed is a lightweight, so its frame intrinsic grants +20 Mobility and ×1.0625 movement speed. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are pretty decent - d2foundry.gg calculates that 29 Range equates to 69.59m ADS and 34.80m hipfire before damage falloff, 43 Stability is ×1.1517 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 71 Handling is 0.34s ready, 0.29s ADS and 0.32s stow speed, and 57 Reload Speed is a 1.87s reload. Recoil Direction is 56 and Zoom is 19. You could probably do with recoil direction, so Arrowhead Brake is great, or even Chambered Compensator works as an alternate. In the magazine perk slot, choose something that helps Reload Speed. For a solar build, in the first trait perk column, you do have Heal Clip available for ×2 Cure (and ×1 Cure for allies in 15m) on a reload after a kill but, if you're taking damage at scout rifle ranges you might be doing it wrong so Rapid Hit is a nother possibility - at 5 stacks it provides +25 Stability and +60 Reload Speed with a ×0.92 reload animation multiplier. In the second, there's Incandescent for spreading scorch stacks to build towards ignitions to clear add crowds quickly. The Skulking Wolf origin trait can be useful in PvE to reduce enemy accuracy after you get a kill at low health. Recommended MW: Stability, Reload Speed or Handling, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Fire Sprites or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

In the magazine perk slot, choose something that helps Reload Speed. In the first trait perk column, Shoot to Loot is very useful when you want to pick up ammo bricks and power orbs from a safe distance. In the second, Explosive Payload not only provides a passive ×1.10 crit damage boost and ×1.15 for bodyshot damage, but the small AoE expands the StL pickup area too. The Skulking Wolf origin trait can be useful in PvE to reduce enemy accuracy after you get a kill at low health.
