[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Range] "A Lightweight that rolls with Pulse Monitor and Snapshot. Post-Pulse Monitor buff, it's actually fairly reliable for Handling buffs, and combo'ing Full Choke with Snapshot is always a good idea. You can do some interesting stuff with Swashbuckler (given how often you need to follow-up melee with Lightweights), and Quickdraw's also available if you find yourself not g etting enough use out of Pulse Monitor."
