Vouchsafe god roll & best perks

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 91 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/50NPk7xF3Tt6X3DVucE9jU?si=44d2b7d44a5a4aec) with @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE pick for add-clear of Minor Spec enemies in general content, particularly with a void subclass. The reprised Vouchsafe has returned with a plethora of PvE possibilities. You get the +20 Mobility from the Lightweight Frame, which is always great but on the downside you also have low Stability and Handling (not such a problem with the origin trait) and abysmal Recoil Direction. You can handle the wonky recoil with a combination of recoil and/or stability perks in the barrel and mag slots. Slot in Rapid Hit for the first trait column's support perk and then in the second you can improve on the curated roll's Explosive Payload, add a little crowd clearance with Dragonfly, or use elemental pickups to proc Collective Action (although you might need to travel a fair way to collect them if you're engaging at typical scout rifle distances). The Advanced Reflexes origin trait is quite useful in PvE - when activated by an enemy hit, it adds +30 Handling for additional ready and ADS speed, together with a handy +20 Mobility, for 7.5s. Recommended MW: Stability, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod. Tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Vouchsafe returns but has lost a bit of its edge. It used to be a really good void scout, comparable to Night Watch. And while Night Watch has still kept some of its relevance over the years, Doom of Chelchis has overtaken Vouchsafe for the best in slot weapon. Vouchsafe does retain some great perks in Rapid Hit and Explosive Payload, while also adding in great perks like Repulsor Brace and Golden Tricorn. It might not be the ultimate best weapon, but it also doesn’t require any raiding." Recommended MW: Stability.

First-choice PvE pick for add-clear of Minor Spec enemies in end-game content, with a void subclass. The reprised Vouchsafe has returned with a plethora of PvE possibilities. You get the +20 Mobility from the Lightweight Frame, which is always great but on the downside you also have low Stability and Handling (not such a problem with the origin trait) and abysmal Recoil Direction. You can handle the wonky recoil with a combination of recoil and/or stability perks in the barrel and mag slots. Then, either Rapid Hit or Fourth Time's The Charm in the first, support, trait slot work well with Golden Tricorn in the second - you should be able to proc the second tier +50% damage with a void grenade to help deal with chunkier minor adds and the occasional major. The Advanced Reflexes origin trait is quite useful in PvE - when activated by an enemy hit, it adds +30 Handling for additional ready and ADS speed, together with a handy +20 Mobility, for 7.5s.

You can handle the wonky recoil with a combination of recoil and/or stability perks in the barrel and mag slots. You don't need a void subclass to make use of the trait combination of Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds - they'll work perfectly well without - but you can improve the effect with void fragments.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Lightweight frames in PvP are in an interesting spot. They don’t kill fast enough to be competitive, and any boosts don’t really elevate the weapon further. Golden Tricorn 2x does allow you to 3 shot any guardian at any resilience at a 0.60 TtK, but it requires two whole kills to get rolling and without additional ability kills you’ll be back at square one before you know it. Taraxippos and Eternal Blazon with Kill Clip or even Tarnished Mettle with Swashbuckler allow you to 3 crit after just one kill." Recommended MW: Stability.
