Unsworn god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Unsworn is basically the Sundered Doctrine version of Warlord's Spear. I think the unique perk to look out for is Detonator Beam as it's new, but Killing Tally or Target Lock are both great options too. Just a little bit more vanilla." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 131 from 25 February 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ylHiOQP4ev7qlUTWnXzvD?si=gEk_UXaITayODh1wH2j0SA) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for use against Minor adds both in general at-level or better, and in end-game underleveled content. Unsworn is, at the time of writing, easily the best-in-kinetic-slot trace rifle for clearing adds. At base, the stats are in-band by comparison with its peers - 75 Range and 16 Zoom equates to 35.81m ADS and 22.38m hipfire, 25 Stability is ×1.2406 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 55 Handling is 0.37s ready, 0.29s ADS and 0.34s stow speed, 50 Reload Speed is a 2.00s reload and Recoil Direction is 97. Base mag size is 98 (max 1.4), and with 0/1/2/3 reserves mods total ammo is 512/563/614/640 (max 679). The barrel perk can be used to improve the Handling or for Controller maybe Stability, and the battery perk can be used to help with Reload Speed or perhaps gain a few extra shots. The first trait perk column standout perk is Shoot to Loot - not only allowing safe remote pickup of ammo bricks and power orbs, but reloading all your weapons too, but Rewind Rounds or Subsistence are decent alternatives to extend your magazine and reduce the need to reload too. In the second column, Killing Tally boosts damage by ×1.3 after three kills until you reload (which StL or Wewindwounds help you avoid) or stow and, when enhanced provides +10 to your magazine stat (equivalent to Tactical Mag). The Subjugator origin trait is, frankly, nuts - against Minors and Majors it's an extra explosive rounds-style damage boosting perk that also adds flinch on every fourth "shot" that hits, while against Bosses it procs Exhaustion to reduce their outgoing damage by ×0.9. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Strand Tangles or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

In the second column, Detonator Beam is very strong, providing a wide AoE detonation that's like a heavy weapon Chain Reaction on steroids, and about twice the damage Firefly and Dragonfly for landing about 25 shots (around 20 when enhanced), to wipe out groups of adds around your target. The Subjugator origin trait is, frankly, nuts - against Minors and Majors it's an extra explosive rounds-style damage boosting perk that also adds flinch on every fourth shot that hits, while against Bosses it procs Exhaustion to reduce their outgoing damage by ×0.9.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "While I normally would say something about low ammo or something. Tear fixes that. Being able to Sever nearby enemies on a precision kill is huge for following that up into a kill chain. It doesn't do anything for that first kill, but it sets up for the second and third." Recommended MW: Range.
