[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Charge] "Taipan is the Linear that everyone in the world has told you to get. Triple Tap/Firing Line typically. Then, Frenzy or Focused Fury for solo content. Veist Stinger is very, very good. Taipan is very good -- with the right roll -- so there's a good reason you've heard about it." tags:pve

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload or Charge Time “Taipan-4fr is incredible for what it is. it is a craftable linear fusion rifle with perks that compare and get it close to things like Reed's Regret and Stormchaser. It lowers the barrier for entry and to be competitive if you do not play trials or dungeons. I love this for Bungie. More ways for players to get competitive loot out of the gate. Firing line, frenzy, or focused fury are all incredibly strong options. Rapid hit makes it easier to land consecutive crits, clown cartridge will overflow your magazine, and if you can remember to crouch field prep will be your best option for reserves and a fast reload.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Void Linear Fusion Rifle Heavy Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (PvP Controller): Recommended MW: Charge Time or Range “Taipan-4fr is also great in PvP, fragile focus and opening shot stack to basically give you headshots. I would recommend lowering the charge time to make it shoot quick, and increase the handling to make it feel quick. Keep an eye out for this or craft it and get those perks at level 1.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Void Linear Fusion Rifle Heavy Ammo)

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for burst damage against majors and Champions in end-game content. Shapeable. An end-game LFR that you don't need to complete a Raid, Dungeon or Trials for, which works for both burst and sustained damage, especially with the Veist Stinger origin trait throwing in extra shots for free at random. A Handling barrel just makes using it snappier, and Enhanced Battery adds a shot with no downsides, to give the origin trait an extra chance to proc. For solo or against more mobile bosses, take your choice of Clown Cartridge, Triple Tap or Field Prep with Frenzy, so you don't need to worry about how close your are to the rest of your fireteam. Recommended MW: Handling or Charge Time, with a damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE backup roll for burst damage against bosses and Champions in end-game content. Shapeable. An end-game LFR that you don't need to complete a Raid, Dungeon or Trials for, which works for both burst and sustained damage, especially with the Veist Stinger origin trait throwing in extra shots for free at random. A Handling barrel just makes using it snappier, and Enhanced Battery with Backup Mag gets you to the seven shots in your battery, to give the origin trait more chances to proc, especially with the extra shots from Clown Cartridge. Alternatively, Field Prep gives you extra reserves and faster reloads for sustained damage. For Raid bosses or static bosses, where you'll be in a fireteam as a group, Firing Line adds a solid 20% bonus damage. Recommended MW: Handling or Charge Time, with a Backup Mag mod.
