pve 16 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 12. PvE first-choice for general use. Bad stats generally, and sub-optimal damage output as at Season 16 - rapid fire subtypes are generally better picks. If you want to tuck one away in case Aggressive frame shotguns get some love, or there's an anti-Champion mod around, you'll generally want good handling and faster firing speed or an extra round in the mag from your barrel and mag, and something that helps with ammo economy and additional damage from your trait columns. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Adept Big Ones or Taken Spec) mod.

What these The Comedian (Adept) perks do

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%]

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.

Subsistence

Weapon Kills refill 10% of the magazine (rounded up) from reserves. Submachine Gun and Auto Rifle Kills refill 17% of the magazine.

Trench Barrel

Dealing Melee Damage grants the following for the next 3 shots within 5 seconds: • 30 Reload Speed and 30 Handling • 50% increased damage Stowing the weapon removes the buff.

PvP-specific note: the Precision Aim Cone Angle increase essentially just allows you to hit Crits while aimed above or slightly to the side of the head. (This is already the default behavior of Submachine Guns, Sidearms, Bows, Machine Guns, and Linear Fusion Rifles so it does not affect them)

Weapon Kills grant 1 Stack of Adrenaline Junkie for 4.5 seconds. Grenade Kills grant all 5 Stacks instantly even if the weapon is stowed. Adrenaline Junkie benefits: • 20 Handling • 6.7%|13.3%|20%|26.6%|33.3% increased damage at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks
