[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Reload / Stab] "Recurrent Impact is our first Stasis LMG. I like the idea of Enhanced Subsistence (up to +25% mag refund) and Headstone/Frenzy/OfA, I just always struggle with using Machine Guns that don't roll with Auto-Loading Holster. Like most 900RPMs, it feels great to shoot - hopefully in lower-level content you can keep chaining the mag with Subsistence so you don't have to suffer the base reload of 4.57s (wow)."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Having a huge magazine and access to firing line gives some wonderful damage but you really have to crank straight down on your input method of choice to hit constant crits. Without arrowhead brake you best hope you see yellow because a recoil direction of 53 is pitifully low. You could also opt for a room clearing weapon through subsistence and headstone, but I would just rather have Eyasluna for that. Even Syncopation-55 is better than this bullet hose."

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "PvP is a wash, you need to control the recoil so heavily while also maintaining crits on a moving stompee jumping, icarus-dashing, overshielded, invisible dood with the latest gaming chair. I’d rather not use this machine gun for that purpose thank you." Recommended MW: Range.
