pandapaxxy (PvE / Controller / M+KB): "Parabellum is the Exit Strategy I wish I had. Enlightened Action will buff the weapon feel before Frenzy kicks in or against before targets. Rewind Rounds are fantastic for mowing down wave after wave of enemies. I’d say that Parabellum is a workhorse weapon but it’s just not as strong as the CALUS-Mini Tool for being a solar submachine gun, and the competition for being a submachine gun in PvE gets stronger and stronger each season." Recommended MW: Stability.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 934 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0M24D3moUjRCXj0AtIsCCx?si=208c6d31bdb7453e) with @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE pick for add-clearing Minor spec enemies in end-game content, particularly with a solar subclass. Parabellum has decent stats and a nice clean sight picture. Round out the range, stability and recoil direction stats to your preference with the barrel perk. You're looking for a snappy reload, so Alloy Mag is the best mag perk choice, but the stability from Tactical Mag and Flared Magwell make Parabellum easier to control. Heal Clip in the first trait column and Frenzy in the second work well - Frenzy boosts reload speed (and handling) to 100 anyway as well as adding a +15% damage boost. The fast reload, means it's easier to proc Cure from Heal Clip, which you can use with Ember of Benevolence on a solar subclass. The Field-Tested origin trait is a slow burn but, if you can stay alive, the stacks do build up to have a pretty significant impact on the gunfeel stats. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Adaptive frame submachine guns are my favorite in PvP. They combine a good weapon feel with good damage too. The Hero’s Burden is amazing with Kill Clip. Parabellum gets two damage perks both with different feels. Adagio will give you forgiveness and keep your time to kill relatively the same. If you can activate Frenzy you’ll drop your time to kill down to a blistering 0.67s but you’ll have to keep Frenzy up in order to maintain that momentum. I have a difficult time playing the mini game of “Frenzy.”" Recommended MW: Range.
