Volta Bracket god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload. Aggressive(72) Strand Sniper Rifle Special Ammo. "This sniper rifle is certainly mid. It has triple tap which makes it a reliable 10 shot with both mag extensions. You will be losing out on spec mods compared to other snipers but you do have Firing Line for the damage bonus."

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Handling. Aggressive(72) Strand Sniper Rifle Special Ammo. "In PvP you will want to bump up the handling as much as possible, because with both Keep Away and Opening Shot together you’ll have 100 range. No Snapshot will feel weird for some but for others it will feel fine. This will highly come down to the user."

Datto's Thoughts, Volta Bracket is a Strand Sniper, 72 RPM so a slower one, gonna be lower DPS, but higher total damage on average. I think the only PvE roll here is for the sniper copium addicts and that is Triple Tap or Envious Assassin and Firing Line. Pretty much any other option on this gun is for specialty use only. If you wanna use Hatchling for some sort of a build, cool, but snipers haven't received any significant changes and are still not very popular picks for most of PvE right now. Looking at range based perks or magazine based perks if used for single target damage purposes. pve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlV7QZ5P0Mk&t=150s

First-choice PvE roll for burst damage in end-game activities. Sniper rifles are in a bit of a tough spot as v7.0.0.3, but it's worth holding on to a good roll or two in the Vault, just in case. If you're shaping one, Fluted Barrel makes it snappier, and you can bypass the reload speed penalty of Extended Barrel with Backup Mag and Envious Assassin, to overload your magazine of 5 to 8. In the second trait column, Explosive Payload adds a flat 15% bonus damage or, in a fireteam, Firing Line adds 20% crit damage. On top, the Nanotech Tracer Rockets add both damage and flinch when you proc them with multiple hits - really fun for PvE. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-BossSpec, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB

Backup PvE roll for burst damage in end-game activities. Sniper rifles are in a bit of a tough spot as v7.0.0.3, but it's worth holding on to a good roll or two in the Vault, just in case. While you're waiting to shape one, Fluted Barrel makes it snappier, and Appended Mag adds an extra shot. If you're not proccing Keep Away to boost reload speed, accuracy, and range while using a sniper rifle, then you really do need a word with yourself.
