[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Handling] "The PvE Sniper. With Vorpal, you one-shot Cyclops and "pull" with one shot during Sanctified Mind. With (+4 Precise Oracle Disruptors) you one-shot Oracles, for the best solo Oracle Atheon strat. It takes two snipes to break a GM Anti-Barrier Shield. So much as aim at a Shrieker and it's done. Succession is always the play. Recombination can be stronger for burst damage too - you're only hampered in a couple of situations by not having Vorpal."

[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Handling/Range] "Succession is criminally slept on as a PvP Sniper. It rolls with perfect combos of Moving Target/No Distractions and Snapshot, one-shot-headshots most if not all Supers without any buff, does 160 to the body that can easily translate into one-shots at the most common resiliences, and just feels really, really good to use. I'm surprised you don't see this in the wild more, given how easily farmed it is."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast Versus Enemies episode 48 with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE roll for end-game activities. The Bray Inheritance trait is really useful for PvE, returning from 0.46% to 2% ability energy from hits (the amount depends on the weapon archetype). Pretty much best in-subfamily stats, but any kinetic sniper has to offer a lot to stand out from the crowd. If you decide this is for you, the best rolls are more for burst damage against majors and stunned Champions. Fluted Barrel adds handling and stability, or go all-in to stability with Polygonal Rifling. You can use Tactical Mag to add stability and reload speed, Alloy Mag to help with reloads on an empty mag, or maximise your magazine size with Extended Mag. For Majors, Reconstruction will double your magazine size (so you can get up to 10 in the mag with Extended Mag and a Backup Mag mod). If you're in a group, Firing Line provides a passive 20% bonus crit damage in a fireteam or, if you're running solo, Focused Fury can proc after three crit his, so your remaining shots have 20% bonus damage. Recommended MW: Handling or stability, with a Backup Mag, or damage-boosting (Major or Taken Spec) mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB

What these Succession perks do

Reconstruction

Every 6 seconds while not firing the weapon: Loads 25% of the Magazine Capacity (rounded up) into the Magazine from reserves. Can overfill the Magazine up to double the normal capacity. Works even while stowed.

Vorpal Weapon

Deals increased damage against Minibosses, Bosses, and Vehicles, as well as Players in their Super Ability. Damage increase by Ammo Type: • Primary Weapons: 20% [60%] • Special Weapons: 15% [20%] • Power Weapons: 10% [20%]

Snapshot Sights

Passively decreases the ADS Animation Duration: • 50% decrease on Primary Weapons • 20% decrease on Special Weapons

Osmosis

Grenade Ability usage refills 50% of your Magazine (rounded up) from reserves and changes the weapon's element to match your equipped Grenade Ability until stowed. Magazine Refill cannot be triggered again without stowing the weapon first. Kinetic weapons lose their Passive Damage Bonus against non-Boss PVE Combatants (10% on Primary, 15% on Special). Perks that replace your Grenade Ability (such as Gunpowder Gamble or Transcendence Grenades) will also trigger Osmosis.

Recombination

Elemental Kills grant 1 Stack of Recombination even while the weapon is stowed. Maximum of 10 stacks. Each Stack additively increases the damage of the next shot by 10% [5%], up to 100% [50%] at 10 stacks.

Demolitionist

Weapon Kills grant 10% Grenade Ability Energy. Kills with Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Glaives, and Fusion Rifles grant 20%. Using your Grenade Ability refills the Magazine with a 3 second cooldown. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Moving Target

Grants the following while Aiming Down Sights (ADS): • 10 Aim Assist • 10% decreased ADS Movement Speed Penalty

Alloy Magazine

Linearly grants a Reload Duration Multiplier as your magazine drops from 50% capacity to empty. Reload Duration Multiplier scales from 0.9x at 50% capacity to 0.8x with an empty magazine.

Killing Wind

On Weapon Kill, for 5 seconds: • 50 Mobility • 40 Handling and 20 Range • 5% increased Damage Falloff Distance Additional Kills extend the duration by 5 seconds, up to 8 seconds. Buff is removed on stow.

Firing Line

Being within 15 meters of 2 allies grants 20% increased Precision Damage.

Focused Fury

Scoring 35% of the Base Magazine Capacity as Precision Hits grants 25% increased damage for 11 seconds. Stowing or Reloading the weapon resets the Precision Hit counter. The buff remains active while stowed. Does not buff the Splash/Explosive damage elements of other perks.

Lead from Gold

Heavy Ammo Pickups grants 25% of your maximum Special Ammo Reserves even while the weapon is stowed. Equipping two Special Weapons halves the amount of ammo granted.

Slideways

Sliding refills 15% of the magazine (rounded up) from reserves and grants 15? Stability and 30 Handling for 3 seconds. 0.5 second cooldown between activations. Buff is removed on stow.

No Distractions

Grants 35% Flinch Resistance after 1 second of Aiming Down Sights (ADS) without firing. Remains active until you're no longer ADS. Timer starts as soon as the ADS input is pressed.
