The Call god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Arguably the best weapon in this DLC, The Call is only the second Rocket-Assisted Frame. The benefit is that The Call is craftable. If you never got your toes into Warlord's Ruin or haven't gotten a good drop, The Call allows you to mix and match. Lead from Gold or Subsistence are going to allow you to use The Call more like a primary weapon, paired with Hatchling for Strand synergy. One for All is not only the best damage perk in slot, it is incredibly easy to proc with the AoE from the rocket shots." Recommended MW: Velocity.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Rocket-Assisted Frames are not super strong in PvP. Slice allows you to sever your opponents and get a bit of a damage advantage. Beacon Rounds adds some flexibility in your shots as it adds in tracking. Strategist is gonna be best if you're using a high class ability build. In terms.of the fourth column, Adrenaline Junkie or Desperate Measures are both easy to get 20% damage or more with ability usage. While it's more of an on / off weapon where without a damage perk it does pretty whelming damage, once you get an ability kill it can allow you to roll over teams easier." Recommended MW: Velocity.

First-choice PvE pick for Minor and Major add clearing in end-game content. Shapeable. The Call is the best weapon to come from the Pale Heart weapon set. There's only one other rocket-assisted frame, so there's not much to compare against, but the stats don't honestly matter. You'd normally look for velocity in a non-hitscan weapon, but there's an argument to be made for blast radius too so the barrel and mag perk choices depend on your preference. In the first trait perk column, Demolitionist boosts grenade energy on kills, which you can pair with the traditional Adrenaline Junkie for +33% damage or Desperate Measures (which is easy to proc with Prismatic) for up to +30% in the second column. The Dealer's Choice origin trait is nice to have (who doesn't love more super energy?) - with two or three Pale Heart weapons, you'll notice the difference!

You'd normally look for velocity in a non-hitscan weapon, but there's an argument to be made for blast radius too so the barrel and mag perk choices depend on your preference (although be aware that High-Explosive Ordnance will reduce the base mag size to 9). This is going to one-hit kill red bars in most content, so Subsistence is a good choice to bypass reloading entirely, or Lead from Gold will help with the already good ammo economy in the first trait perk column. In the second, One for All can proc from AoE damage ticks - which is why you might want to focus on blast radius - for +35% bonus damage for 10s.

First-choice PvE pick for a Bait and Switch rotation for sustained boss DPS in end-game content. Shapeable. The Call is the best weapon to come from the Pale Heart weapon set. There's only one other rocket-assisted frame, so there's not much to compare against, but the stats don't honestly matter. You'd normally look for velocity in a non-hitscan weapon, but there's an argument to be made for blast radius too so the barrel and mag perk choices depend on your preference. As a niche roll in a boss fight, a Hunter could include this in a Bait and Switch weapon rotation, dodging to reload a power weapon, swapping and then applying Slice as the first trait column perk to reduce boss damage output. You're not going to be getting a damage boost from any other source in the middle of a damage phase, so Vorpal Weapon in the second column at least gives you +15% damage just for firing at a boss.
