Taraxippos god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 98 from 19 March 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cxvW6vTZVWtwmXkqr7g1f?si=66932432408046d2) with @CourtProjects, @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr. First-choice PvE pick for add clearing Minor Spec enemies in end-game content, particularly with a Strand subclass. If you find a roll you like, keep for the ability to enhance perks when Final Shape arrives. Named after a ghost that frightened horses at a particular spot on the Olympia race course during ancient games there. Still the only Lightweight Strand scout rifle with pretty solid stats. For min-maxxers, the +20 Mobility from the intrinsic perk and +6.25% movement speed can help to flesh out builds. Taraxippos is fast-firing, so you will need to control the recoil, as well as flesh out the stats with the barrel perk. For the magazine perk, you're looking to reduce reload speed, or boost magazine size (or a bit of everything with Tactical Mag). In the first trait column as your support perk, you can choose Fourth Time's The Charm is always welcome to extend your mag size Enlightened Action to boost reload speed and handling, or Keep Away for easier crit hits, while Hatchling can boost damage with spawned Threadlings in the second column as the second column signature perk, particularly when using the Rebirth fragment. The Classy Contender Origin Perk is useful - who would say no to extra class ability energy? Or, Omolon Fluid Dynamics adds stability and reload speed to the top half of your mag. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

For the magazine perk, you're looking to reduce reload speed, or boost magazine size (or a bit of everything with Tactical Mag). If you get the combination of Gutshot Straight and Explosive Payload in the first and second trait columns, it might be worth hanging on to as there's a weird interaction that passively boosts body shot damage by +38% and crit damage by 16%.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "We [probably] have a scout in our vault we use for PvE. Do we need another? Well technically no. Taraxippos doesn’t do anything another scout couldn’t do equally or better. If you somehow don’t have one, then yeah. Grind yourself one out this Guardian Games. It’s easy to get and you’ll probably have more than you know what to do with." Recommended MW: Stability.

SirStallion (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Scouts are weird. Lets just start there. I like the idea of scouts, but in practice.. Theyre just strange. BUT, they do one thing quite well.. Precision kills. So, between Enlightened Action keeping your reload up and making the gun feel snappy, and then Hatchling helping you dispatch groups of enemies at the same time, I think this roll has a lot of low end potential for fun. Which lets be honest.. Isn't that what we all want?" Recommended MW: Stability.
