WarlockMaggie (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "This Stasis weapon brings us solid perks like Headstone or Demolitionist. Stats for All plus Headstone is ridiculously fun. A quick warning. the intrinsic trait will make reload-based perks (like MKC and Tunnel Vision) near useless in team activities. For magazine options, choose getting more shots or increasing Stability/Reload, either or both will help combat common Aggressive frame issues. Barrels are similar: focusing on Stability and Handling over Range will make this gun feel much better in combat." Recommended MW: Reload or Stability

WarlockMaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "This Stasis weapon brings us solid perks like Headstone or Demolitionist. For PvP, Harmony is unique to this 120 HC and allows for potential 2-tap kills. A quick warning. the intrinsic trait will make reload-based perks (like MKC and Tunnel Vision) near useless in team activities. For magazine options choose getting more shots, increasing Stability, or Dueling potential. Barrels are similar, focusing on Stability (or Handling) over Range. Overall, not the best 120 in the Crucible, but you can make it work." Recommended MW: Stability
