[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Stability] [Arrowhead/Counterbalance recommended] "One of the coolest looking Scouts in the game. It kicks like a mule, so you may want to invest in Stability a little more than usual. The Recoil Direction isn't perfect, but it fires so slowly that some may not mind it all that much. It comes with some pretty stellar perks, and can roll the ancient Rampage/Kill Clip combo. With Anti-Barrier Scout back on the menu, I'd hold onto one to breeze through longer-range engagements."

PvP PvP-Chaining PvP-God MKB Controller 3 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB Podcast 275 conversation with @DefyFly. First choice PvP roll for kill-chaining. You don't need extra range, so choose between Fluted Barrel for Handling or Polygonal Rifling for pure Stability (or maybe Arrowhead Brake if you find the Recoil Direction needs taming), and add more Stability with Steady Rounds in the mag, or boost your reload speed to maximise your uptime with damage perks. For the memes, if you can proc Rampage x1 and Kill Clip at the same time, you can two tap crit any resilience in 0.4s, as at Season 18 v6.2.0.6. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Radar Tuner (to help you stay aware of your surroundings when hardscoping), Quick Access Sling or Sprint Grip mod depending on your preference.

What these Transfiguration perks do

Kill Clip

Finishing a reload within 3.6 seconds of a kill grants 25% increased damage for 5 seconds. Stowing the weapon removes the buff. Does not buff the Splash/Explosive damage elements of other perks.

Rampage

Weapon Kills grant a Stack of Rampage. Maximum of 3 Stacks. Stacks expire one at a time every 4.5 seconds. Grants a 10%|21%|33.1% damage increase at 1|2|3 Stacks. Does not buff the Splash/Explosive damage elements of other perks.

Drop Mag

Passively grants 30 Reload Speed with a 0.9x Reload Duration Multiplier. Decreases Magazine Size Stat by 30. (Equivalent to the "inverse" of Extended Mag)

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%

Triple Tap

Scoring 3 Precision Hits within 2 seconds of each refills 1 Ammo into the Magazine from thin air. Cannot load the Magazine beyond its base capacity. Precision Hit counter persists through stow.

Auto-Loading Holster

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

Moving Target

Grants the following while Aiming Down Sights (ADS): • 10 Aim Assist • 10% decreased ADS Movement Speed Penalty

Opening Shot

Grants the following benefits for your first shot (of the burst): • 20 Aim Assist and 25 Range • 5% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 10% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth Special weapons only receive 50% of the benefits. Stats are rounded up. Firing the weapon prevents the perk from activating for 3 seconds.

Outlaw

Precision Kills grant 70 Reload Speed with a 0.9x decreased Reload Animation Duration for 6 seconds. Buff is removed on stow.

Explosive Payload

Splits off 50% of the weapon's bodyshot damage into an Explosive Payload that detonates on impact. The Payload deals 30% increased damage in PvE and staggers PvE Combatants more. On Hand Cannons, the Payload deals 7% decreased damage in PvP. The remaining Impact damage portion receives an increased Crit Multiplier to compensate for the Payload not benefitting from crits. [PvE] Total damage is increased by 15% of the weapon's bodyshot damage. For crits, the overall increase is roughly equal to 15% divided by the Crit Multiplier. [PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.
