pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Hot off the heels of Funnelweb and the Title, Unforgiven falls into a weird spot. Most people have a good to great Funnelweb, and the Title was being handed out like crazy. Unforgiven does have the benefit of getting golden tricorn, frenzy, dragonfly, adrenaline junkie in combination with demolitionist." Recommended MW - Reload.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB): "Unforgiven in PvP is a bit of a mixed bag. Aggressive frame submachine guns aren’t exactly the easiest to use on controllers, but MnK can really leverage its strengths. For both input methods, maxing out the recoil direction at 100 with either chambered compensator or extended barrel will be the first play. A good combination for grenade centered builds will be demolitionist and adrenaline junkie, but if you happen to find yourself on a more neutral void subclass then you might like golden tricorn. You probably won’t see golden tricorn 2x too often, but when you do and the stars align you’ll have a monster in your hands." Recommended MW - Range.

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 19. PvE first-choice roll for end-game content. Bitterspite origin trait is excellent - faster reload is always useful. Needs some help with stability in the barrel and mag (although combat effects are good too). Demolitionist, Feeding Frenzy and Tunnel Vision (as a faux stability boost) all have their merits, and Frenzy is a reliable 15% damage boost. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Backup Mag mod or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Reload] "Amazing SMG stinted by the (very) low Reload stat. If you can get lucky, and score Flared Magwell, Reload Masterwork and Frenzy, you'll have a very serviceable roll. Unfortunately, 100 full Duality runs later, and I don't have that 3/5 - so, good luck!" tags:pve
