The Title god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload. Aggressive(750) Void Submachine Gun Primary Ammo. "I don’t know about the Title coming back this season. It is better than Cold Front in every stat except for handling and recoil direction. The Title doesn’t have any good reload perks other than artificially increasing the magazine through Envious Assassin, moving with Perpetual Motion, or having enemies near you with Threat Detector. I don’t know about you but I sometimes prefer just a good reload perk. Threat Detector and Surrounded will make quick work of just about any horde mode, but falls off as soon as you’re out of combat. Vorpal is plain Jane damage and Repulsor Brace only works with void debuffs. If the Title rolled with Destabilizing Rounds and Repulsor Brace it would be a different conversation."

Backup PvE pick for minor add clear in endgame activities. Unfortunately, this doesn't have great stats or any unique perk options by comparison with other aggressive frame SMGs, but drops will rain down during Guardian Games, so that's not unexpected (maybe it's just Hakke's unfamiliarity with energy weapons 😉). Season 20 has lost the S-Tier Stats/One for All combination, unfortunately. If you want to tuck one away, push out the range with your barrel and magazine, even at the cost of stability or handling, as we'll be getting that back with the traits, and the Recoil Direction of 85 is pretty much vertical. In the first trait column as your support perk, if you're not proccing Threat Detector's bonus Stability, Handling and Reload Speed, you're just doing it wrong, or Perpetual Motion provides useful, if smaller, boosts as an alternative choice. Similarly with Surrounded as your second column signature perk - although it's not the Enhanced version, you'll still have 40% bonus damage when procced in CQC. The Classy Contender Origin Perk is useful - who would say no to extra class ability energy? Or, if you're up against vehicles and constructs, Hakke Breach Armaments will help burst them down. Recommended MW: Range, Stability or Handling - just go with your preference, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, Controller, M+KB

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Range or Stability. Aggressive(750) Void Submachine Gun Primary Ammo. "In PvP there is little to discuss. Rangefinder is best in slot and Perpetual Motion does make up for a good chunk of stats. Dynamic Sway Reduction also brings up the “stability” but I find it still needs more. 20 stability is just way too low. If you can swing it, it would be a good alternative to all the Immortals we are seeing."

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Submachine guns are the perfect run and gun weapon. They have better range than a sidearm, and feel better for a more run-and-gun play style than an auto rifle. Surrounded is the best damage perk for running into a group of enemies, and threat detector just enhances stats. Nothing like immediate damage." Recommended MW: Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "The Title doesn't need much to be a powerhouse in this meta. Rangefinder on a 750 is enough. But allowing you to duel multiple enemies within quick succession is another thing entirely. Without offering damage in the way of Kill Clip, the Title does give you Offhand Strike to take on multiple opponents while keeping your strafe speed up. Pairing this with a freehand grip would be my recommendation." Recommended MW: Range.

Essential perks

Smallbore Ricochet Rounds Offhand Strike Rangefinder

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "This is the best version of the title we have seen. This almost competes with the like of Shayura's Tarrabah, IKELOS and Immortal. No adept mods, not the best range, but having rangefinder is an incredible bonus. Dynamic Sway Reduction is icing on the Title's cake for allowing a smooth shooting experience."

SirStallion_ (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "For me personally, I like to full send into one particular element, Void Subclass with Void Weapons, making the most of the keywords from the subclass. As such, I don't value Pugilist for void. I just don't like the melee abilities for the most part and that's okay. [...] I do wish Repulsor was a column 3 perk, but I understand why it isn't. All that combined with Classy Contender will make this weapon a mainstay on my Gyrfalcon hunter or Devourlock once Volatile Flow is no longer on our artifact." Recommended MW: Stability.

Essential perks

Repulsor Brace Arrowhead Brake Envious Assassin Appended Mag

SirStallion_ (PvP / M+KB): "Now you might be thinking "Stal, you put Arrowhead on all 3 rolls and haven't mentioned it. WHY. The gun has 85 RD, it doesn't need +30, +10 is enough if you absolutely want more, or you can use counterbalance." That's all true, but those don't also give +10 handling. That's only 5 less than Fluted, and I want my SMGs snappy. So if I can get more handling and a perfect 100 RD, I'm taking that every time." Recommended MW: Range.

Sneecher (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "This year my Titan is going to lean heavily into Repulsor Brace. I am one of the few that enjoys the shield throw in PVE, and this combo will ensure that I always have one ready. Endless shield throws and volatile enemies guarantee that my Titan can rest easy knowing he will always have an overshield to protect him." Recommended MW: Stability.
