pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload. Aggressive(750) Strand Submachine Gun Primary Ammo. "Everyone’s favorite submachine gun. Immortal dropped and it dropped hot. Is it the best submachine gun since Recluse? I don’t think so. Is it the best weapon in the sandbox? Also not true. Is Immortal incredibly strong? Very much so. In PvE there’s a lot less to write home about due to the lack of a dedicated reloader perk but any of the pseudo-reload perks will do fine."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 68 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/7e93LMhFDUbZZX5SKYzXf0?si=cec8c26785114ffb) with @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE pick for add-clear in end-game activities, particularly with a Strand subclass. While you've probably been melted a few times in PvP with The Immortal, it's still interesting in PvE as the first aggressive frame Strand SMG (the same subfamily as Ikelos).It's an absolute stat monster and the support perks can make it even more so, so we'll start with a range-boosting barrel, and any of the "Rounds" magazines. In the first trait column for the support perk, Threat Detector, Surplus (particularly easy to maintain with the extra melee charges from Strand), or Perpetual Motion will bump gunfeel stats up. If you're running solo content, don't forget the Alacrity origin trait to pretty much max out every stat on the board, and add 10 Aim Assist too. In the second column, Hatchling is the natural choice to pair with a Strand subclass to generate Threadlings for add control. Recommended MW: Range, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, Controller, M+KB

In the second column, while you'll never get to the top damage tier with no way to overfill the mag, Target Lock is a decent 25%-ish bump to damage for continuous fire against a single target.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Range. Aggressive(750) Strand Submachine Gun Primary Ammo. "Immortal is running the crucible and it is not hard to see why. A great submachine gun with some of the best stats for its family, Rangefinder in column three and Target Lock for an even faster TtK neutrally is hot. There’s nothing bad to say about Immortal other than a foreseeable nerf. Either to its stats, all aggressive frame submachine guns or a targeted nerf. An alternative would be Kill Clip as a more reliable damage source but we will just have to see what the end of this season brings."
