Veiled Threat god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Vex Mythoclast at home™. This auto does pretty well at staying competitive with the likes of Headstone and the new origin trait for.clearing waves of enemies. Being another Rapid-Fire stasis auto competes with the Krait collecting dust in your vault. The difference is Veiled Threat is craftable so if you never grabbed a good Krait when it was dropping during Witch Queen or from Banshee then this auto will suffice. I dislike the model but that's not performance based." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 106 from 3 July 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/7jGtQ3pw94PV7XpXREQ094?si=ddb5fb64813048e1) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE / PvE-MinorSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): First-choice PvE pick for add clearing in end-game content, particularly for Titans using Hazardous Propulsion. Shapeable. Veiled Threat looks lovely (like Vex Mytholast had a baby!) but unfortunately drops with poor base stats compared to its peers, so if you have a Krait you're happy with you can probably pass on by. If you're shooting adds at the outer reach of its range (22.6m at base), you might appreciate a little extra stability on controller, otherwise maybe a bit of extra range or stability with the barrel perk. In the mag slot, Alloy Mag can double down on the intrinsic frame perk to reduce reload time from 1.83s to 1.24s when empty, or Tactical Mag (1.34s) or Flared Magwell (1.29s) work at any point in the magazine. For Titans who want their barricade energy as fast as possible, for use with Hazardous Propulsion's rockets, Strategist helps regenerate ability energy in the first trait perk column. Combine that with any of the damage boosting traits from column two to round things out. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is nice to have - the AoE damage isn't huge, but it is additional to weapon damage so what's not to like? Recommended MW: any - your preference, with a Backup Mag mod.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Bringing that model into PvP is asking for a blindspot. The entire right side of your screen is gone. Heaven forbid you ADS. Say goodbye to your peripherals. Desperate Measures is an easy damage bonus while Moving Target will make Veiled Threat stickier. It's not the most competitive auto rifle but I think you know that by now." Recommended MW: Range.

There's an interesting interaction between Shoot to Loot in the first trait perk column and the Radiolaria Transposer origin trait when procced - any ammo caught in the pool will be picked up. In the second, to boost damage, Desperate Measures adds up to +30% or Collective Action adds a flat +20%, and both are easy to proc with Transcendence. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is nice to have - the AoE damage isn't huge, but it is additional to weapon damage so what's not to like?
