[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Charge] "Stormchaser still reigns as one of the best-in-slot options, currently being the only burst-fire frame, and making up DPS potential with fast reload options such as Rapid Hit/Frenzy. There's a roll for everyone - Auto-Loading Holster, Clown Cartridge, Firing Line, Frenzy/Vorpal for solo activities - all sorts. It's well-loved, and well-loved for a reason." tags:god-pve

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "A three round burst linear fusion. It’s most similar to high-impact fusions, but it does significantly more damage and charges faster. For PvE auto-loading holster, clown cartridge, or rapid hit are all fantastic options. Firing line, frenzy, and vorpal are all really close in terms of best in slot, but I would rank them in that order. Firing line is the easiest to proc, frenzy can be your whole loadout, and vorpal while the weakest is still 10% damage. Depending on how you decide to play will determine which is best for you." Recommended MW - Reload.

Adamsdown_Boy - information as at v8.0.0.6 PvE / PvE-Boss / PvE-BossSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): PvE pick for killing boss-tier Subjugators. As per @mossy_max (https://x.com/mossy_max/status/1804893174965338387) - boss-tier Subjugators have a 20% damage reduction to all non-matching damage, going up to 30% DR to all damage after they "screech", which counts as a shield in-game and reacts to shield-based trait perks. Stormchaser is the adaptive burst LFR that's still obtainable from the Duality dungeon. First, Arrowhead Brake to help with recoil, or Chambered Compensator or Polygonal Rifling will also to help land consistent crits. Ionized Battery with Backup Mag max out the battery at 7 shots, or Backup Mag alone provides 6, in which case op for Accelerated Coils for better burst damage or Particle Repeater for more stability. In the first trait column, Clown Cartridge can get you to 11 shots, or Rapid Hit can make landing crits easier and boost reload speed. In the second, Adaptive Munitions provides a +30% damage boost after 3 hits. The Bitterspite origin trait is useful, boosting reload if you're taking damage. Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Backup Mag mod

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "I think Stormchaser is a weird weapon for the crucible. It does do enough to body shot with the whole burst, but you’re better off going for a crit with just a regular linear fusion rifle or body shot with adagio. Stormchaser is cool and I think it will see some use, but I don’t think it will be anyone’s first pick." Recommended MW - Charge Time.
