The Hero's Burden god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "PvP is where this weapon will sing. Kill clip and feeding frenzy are still both great for Crucible purposes. I know a decent number of players will go for iron reach to hit that coveted 20-21m effective range. Neither are bad options but I would rate ricochet rounds higher over high-caliber rounds when using iron reach for that touch of stability. On the other hand high-caliber rounds will help you win those 1v1 situations to proc kill clip." Recommended MW - Range.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Adaptive frame 900’s always felt the best for me in PvE and PvP. Feeding frenzy and kill clip are the de facto best for PvE activities. Vorpal weapon is great but I find vorpal works best on longer ranged / harder hitting weapons like pulses and scouts." Recommended MW - Reload.

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Reload] "For PvE - is it Funnelweb? No, but it has Kill Clip, Repulsor Brace, and access to the SUROS origin perk. Merge these with a naturally high reload stat, Feeding Frenzy, and you have the potential for an extremely strong Kill Clip-looping, Volatile Rounds-using, Overshield-generating SMG." tags:pve

Kill Clip Polygonal Rifling Repulsor Brace Fluted Barrel

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 20. PvE backup roll for general add clear - weird 900rpm adaptive subtype and the Season 17 reprised version has very PvP orientated traits, so there are probably better void SMGs to choose from. Unfortunately, you'll get no use from the Iron Banner-based origin trait. If you're keeping one, your choice of barrels and then a mag that adds extra bullets or a combat effect first, and then Feeding Frenzy and Kill Clip is a reliable synergy. Recommended MW: your choice, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 20. PvE backup roll for general add clear for Void subclasses - weird 900rpm adaptive subtype and the Season 17 reprised version has very PvP orientated traits, so there are probably better void SMGs to choose from. Unfortunately, you'll get no use from the Iron Banner-based origin trait. If you're keeping one, your choice of barrels and then a mag that adds extra bullets or a combat effect first, and then Feeding Frenzy gives faster reloads, and Repulsor Brace gives your void classes another way to proc an overshield (although you'd be better off with a good roll on Unforgiven). Recommended MW: your choice, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 264 conversation with @pattycakesGG. PvP first-choice A-Tier roll for duelling. The reprised version rolls with barrels rather than sights, which limits your maximum range, but this has new perks than can help make that back up. Push out range and zoom as far as you can with your barrel, mag and Masterwork, mixing in stability if you need help to control the recoil. Fragile Focus can help boost initial range in an engagement, until you take damage, and Eye of the Storm will kick in as you take damage to improve accuracy. Masterwork: Range or Stability, with a Sprint Grip or Quick Access Sling, if you're playing aggressively, or a Targeting Adjustor for more passive playstyles.
