pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Range or Stability. High-Impact(360) Arc Machine Gun Heavy Ammo. "Over in the Crucible having Rangefinder in the third column and Tap the Trigger in the fourth column give this machine gun a leg up over other high-impact frames. It isn’t the strongest machine gun in the game but will do incredible work if you prefer this archetype over the adaptive frames."

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. It's difficult to love the reprised SWARM for PvE when the best damage perk has been lost, and the PvE options in both trait columns are weak. The only viable use is for minor add-clear as a kind of heavy scout rifle, but if you already have an older Bottomless Grief/One For All roll, just keep that and move on. If you do want to hold on to one, you could make an argument for any barrel perk - Fluted Barrel, for the handling and stability, Polygonal Rifling, for the big stability bump or Full Bore for the range bump, for example. In the mag, Appended Mag adds extra bullets, Flared Magwell adds straight stability and Reload Speed or Tactical Mag does both. In the first trait column as the support perk, Feeding Frenzy and Well Rounded are the best of a limited bunch, while in the second slot as the signature perk, Golden Tricorn is much the only choice - a straight 15% damage boost on kills that can be boosted to 50% with an arc ability kill for occasional burst damage against Majors. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload. High-Impact(360) Arc Machine Gun Heavy Ammo. "Feeding Frenzy is the best in slot for keeping your mag topped off. Target Lock and Golden Tricorn are going to be your best damage perks if you like running arc in Pve. I would recommend any mag extending perk as Feeding Frenzy should make up for your reload. The Swarm fits a niche in between a pure damage and a pure add-clear machine gun."
