pandapaxxy (PvP Controller): Recommended MW: Handling “In PvP there are better options. Truthteller outclasses Militia's Birthright and Salvager's Salvo feels like you are shooting rockets. Militia's can work, but it will have a large uphill battle.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Kinetic Grenade Launcher Special Ammo)

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “I am so very glad Militia's Birthright is back. Mostly for my friend u/The_SpellJammer. Militia's Birthright has not really seen too many changes from its former self. Ambitious and auto-loading are funny together, but unfortunately do not proc one another. Lead from gold is another fantastic perk when paired with a full lead from gold build. Frenzy is the top choice for the final column. Having two grenades with the 15% damage increase, 50 handling, and the most important part being the 50 reload. The reload alone will max out your reload stat making it easier to reload into ambitious assassin.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Kinetic Grenade Launcher Special Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Velocity] "Militia's Birthright is back, and its milder than ever. It serves as a serviceable replacement for the Slideshot Ignition Code, though the cooldown on Slideways definitely hurts its efficacy. I'd only recommend Quickdraw/ALH, which serves as a fantastic Blinding/Spike option for utility or damage." tags:pve

Community wishlist roll

PvE PvE-God PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame Controller MKB 4 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 34. PvE first-choice roll for burst damage against Majors and stunned Champions in end-game content. Probably only necessary if you've not already got a good Spike Grenade roll on an Ignition Code or Pardon Our Dust. Handling and Velocity are what you need in your barrel, and Quick Launch delivers both. Spike Grenades adds damage for direct hits, and there's a case for both Slideways for reloading and a Handling boost, or Ambitious Assassin to improve damage output in your first trait column, and Frenzy or One For All in the second. Recommended MW: Velocity or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 34. PvE first-choice roll for minor add control in end-game content. Probably only necessary if you've not already got a Blinding Grenade roll on an Ignition Code or Pardon Our Dust. Handling and Velocity are what you need in your barrel, and Quick Launch delivers both. Blinding Grenades is always great for easier add control, particularly in crowds, and there's a case for both Quickdraw or Lead From Gold in your first trait column, paired with Auto-Loading Holster in the second so that you always have a shot ready. Recommended MW: Velocity or Handling - there's really nothing much a mod can add directly as you're not aiming for kills, so maybe Backup Mag mod's increase ammo reserves is the best option, but feel free to plug in what works for you.

What these The Militia's Birthright perks do

Quickdraw

Switching to the Weapon grants 100 Ready/Stow Handling and a 0.95x Ready Animation Duration Multiplier for 1 second. Buff is removed as soon as ADS input is pressed.

Stunning Recovery

Stunning a Champion refills the magazine from reserves, restores 60 HP, and grants 40 Recovery for 3 seconds.

Auto-Loading Holster

Refills stowed weapon from reserves after 3.5 seconds of it being stowed.

Spike Grenades

Increases Grenade Impact damage: • 12.12% increase on Special Grenade Launchers • 12.5% increase on Power Grenade Launchers Due to the ratio of Detonation and Impact damage being tied to the Blast Radius stat on Grenade Launchers, a lower stat will provide a slightly higher overall damage increase.

Vanguard's Vindication

Weapon Kills restore 10 HP.

Slideways

Sliding refills 15% of the magazine (rounded up) from reserves and grants 15? Stability and 30 Handling for 3 seconds. 0.5 second cooldown between activations. Buff is removed on stow.

Disorienting Grenades

Disorient radius cannot be increased using other perks. Champions and Bosses are unaffected by Disorient. (Disorient is effectively the equivalent of Arc Blind without any of the elemental synergies and anti-champion benefits) Players near the explosion briefly lose their HUD and have their screen distorted for up to ? seconds. Duration varies depending on the distance from the blast.

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.

Frenzy

After being in Combat for 12 seconds: Grants 15% increased damage, 100 Handling, and 100 Reload Speed for 7.2 seconds. Works and can activate while stowed. Dealing and receiving damage refreshes the buff duration. For Frenzy, being in Combat is defined as having either dealt or received damage within the last 5 seconds. Self-damage and environmental damage do not count.

One for All

Scoring Weapon Hits against 3 Separate Enemies within 3 seconds of each grants 35% increased damage for 10 seconds. Does not require Direct Hits. Buff duration cannot be refreshed.

Ambitious Assassin

Reloading after scoring Kills with the weapon overfills the magazine from reserves based on the number of Kills scored. Overfill amount maxes out at 150% of the Magazine Capacity. Always rounds up. Kill counter persists through stow. Overfill amount per Kill scored: • Primary Weapons: 20% • Special and Power Weapons: 10%

Multikill Clip

Finishing a reload within 3.6 seconds of scoring 1|2|3 Weapon Kills within 3.5 seconds of each grants 17%|33%|50% increased damage for 5 seconds. Buff is overwritten every time it is triggered and is removed on stow.

Steady Hands

Weapon Kills grant 100 Handling and a 0.825x Handling Animation Duration Multiplier to all weapons for 8.5 seconds. Additional kills while the perk is active refresh the duration to 6.5 seconds.

Swashbuckler

Weapon Kills grant a Stack of 'Swashbuckler' for 4.5 seconds. Maximum of 5 Stacks. (Glaive) Melee Kills grant all 5 Stacks instantly. Damage increase at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks: 6.7% | 13.3% | 20% | 26.6% | 33.3% Stowing the weapon removes the buff.
