Out of Bounds god roll & best perks

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Reload] "Out of Bounds is good. It's really, really good. Almost half the perks on this thing are good. Its stock recoil direction is good. Its stock handling is good. The Reload sucks, but then it comes with Threat Detector. It comes with Subsistence. It comes with Demolitionist/Golden Tricorn. Or Adrenaline Junkie. It's got Threat Detector/Kill Clip. Its one of the best perk pools I've seen. Potentially ever. So it really just comes down to your personal preference here - do you like the gun? Cool. Max out the reload and go ham. Have fun." tags:pve

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “The newest crucible weapon is only the slightest bit a disappointment for me. it is an Omolon 900 without phase mag. If you were not around in d2y1 or missed getting a good Stochastic Variable in Season of the Splicer, phase mag is a special Omolon magazine that drops the rpm from 900 (lightweight) to 600 (precision), and increases the damage profile to match the precision frames. The smg keeps its other stats, and retains the lightweight profile, but just hits like a precision frame. Not having that on an Omolon smg just feels wrong. Especially when it is not going to be better than regular lightweights or precision frame smgs. I digress. In most activities you will either have on Funnelweb or CALUS-Mini Tool. Out of Bounds acts as an arc alternative. With how good some arc 3.0 ability cycling is, you can almost guarantee two stacks of golden tricorn. Paired with subsistence to really tear down hordes of enemies. Out of Bounds is not going to be the best, and getting one is going to take some time. But it might just be one of the best arc weapons to use with the new subclasses.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Arc Submachine Gun Primary Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

Inspired by DMB Podcast 278 with @Critbuff. Backup PvP pick for duelling. As will all playlist weapons, the more reputation resets you can get, the more trait options you'll get to play with, otherwise you've only got a 1/144 chance of any pair of traits dropping, before you even look at barrel, mag and masterwork, although at least 50% of them are good PvP traits, which makes getting a usable roll a little easier. You have access to an excellent PvP origin perk for SMGs in Omolon Fluid Dynamics, in a solid SMG subfamily, needing only the smallest of damage buffs to go from a TTK of 0.67s with 11 crits and 1 body, to a 0.6s 8 crit, 2 body kill. Stats are on the low side, and with a Zoom of only 14, you'll never compete with a range specced Multimach or Shayura's, so focus on making this as good a CQC SMG as you're likely to meet. Add as much Handling and Stability as you can with barrel and mag so you can keep the reticule on target for crits. For a kill-chaining roll, Heating Up or Killing Wind will help with follow-up kills. If you can keep the action in the top half of the magazine, the Omolon origin trait should help keep everything on target. One stack of any damage perk will then get you to the 0.6s TTK. Recommended MW: Stability or Handling, with a Targeting Adjustor, Quick Access Sling or Sprint Grip mod depending on your preference.

pandapaxxy (M+KB PvP) Recommended MW: Range “The crucible weapon is good in the crucible. Who would have thought that? Investing fully into range gives you 21.71 meters of effective range. Funnelweb still beats that out at 23.33 meters, but the Omolon trait of Omolon Fluid Dynamics will give you that extra stability in duels or at longer ranges. It will lose value as you start shooting, but that is where something like dynamic sway reduction or threat detector could come in to make it easier to shoot.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Arc Submachine Gun Primary Ammo)|tags:PvP, M+KB

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for Arc subclasses in end-game content. Drops from Crucible activities, so reset your reputation as many times as you have patience for first, to maximise the trait options from decrypting engrams. Stability is helpful with the bullet output, but a little extra Range or Handling is useful too. For end-game content with Arc subclasses Demolitionist with either Golden Tricorn or Adrenaline Junkie makes the most of your grenade options with hefty damage boosts, with the kills recharging grenade energy. Recommended MW: Stability or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.
