Redrix's Estoc god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 133 from 11 March 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/49VFDRj05iDXTJDOBqQpga?si=e61731a19fb64938) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for use against Minor add groups in general at-level or better content. Only the second-ever Legacy PR-55 frame pulse rifle, with the intrinsic offering "dramatically increased" hipfire performance. At base, the stats are top-tier by comparison with its peer - 54 Range and 20 Zoom equates to 34.09m ADS and 20.05m hipfire, 63 Stability is ×1.1967 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 74 Handling is 0.31s ready, 0.31s ADS and 0.29s stow speed, 65 Reload Speed is a 1.65s reload and Recoil Direction is 65. The stats are pretty balanced, so you can boost Range, Stability, Handling and/or Reload Speed with the barrel and magazine perks, to your preference. For a good, all-purpose roll for general use, Demolitionist in the first trait perk column is great for utility. To pair with theat in the second, Desperate Measures boosts damage by up to ×1.3 for 7s by combining weapon and ability kills, Sword Logic is pretty easy to keep a stack or two of damage bonus by killing increasingly tanky enemies (although getting to the fourth stack of ×1.5 damage after killing a boss is difficult to pull off and maybe of limited use if that's the end of an encounter), or Headstone provides AoE damage when you break the Stasis crystal after a crit kill. There's no origin trait, but you have a choice of Stock perks instead - any of them work, depending on what you drop in the barrel and mag slots. If you're interested, an Estoc is a thrusting sword, from the Renaissance. Recommended MW: personal preference, as any will work, with a Backup Mag mod or, when fully enhanced, Synergy to create Stasis shards or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Redrix’s Estoc is not only a tongue twister but a decently strong pulse rifle. If you liked the BXR-55 Battler then this will feel right at home. If you wanted Stasis synergy, Rimestealer and Headstone are where it's at. If you don't, that's okay, the stats alone make up for it. Redrix's Estoc will be the Battler on steroids. Desperate Measures is great for having a rolling damage bonus. But the lack of a reload perk outside of Perpetual Motion is kind of weaksauce." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

The stats are pretty balanced, so you can boost Range, Stability, Handling and/or Reload Speed with the barrel and magazine perks, to your preference.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Where Redrix's Estoc really gets to shine is of course in PvP. Lone Wolf, Zen Moment, and Rapid Hit all bump up the already high feel and stats for this weapon. And you can even delete a guardian in 5c1b with Sword Logic after a kill. Without stocks the pulse is already in a league of its own." Recommended MW: Range.
