VS Velocity Baton god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "This is probably my favorite weapon to come out of this dungeon. The amount of orbs you can generate is almost as strong as OG Tether back in Year 1 Eater of Worlds. Lorathexplorer almost crashed my game multiple times with how many orbs she made. For general use Attrition Orbs is great but I feel the perk interaction is slightly unintended. You do have the Void Synergy, but outside of that it is a nice area denial frame for the energy slot versus the kinetic." Recommended MW: Blast Radius or Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "I beg you, don't use this in PvP. Witherhorde is unique in that you can stick people, but outside of that it's…well…bad. You can definitely try in Control to cover a capture point but it doesn't stay long enough or do enough tick damage to really become a neusance." Recommended MW: Blast Radius.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 120 from 29 October 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3tLWOteO62mxx6Yh2Ll4k3?si=bb40d9918c564281) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE utility pick for general and end-game, underleveled content. VS Velocity Baton is the only second Area Denial GL if you 've been looking for a void flamethrower. The stats look pretty good, with pretty much all stats a little better than Lost Signal. With 0/1/2/3 reserves, you have 24/25/25/25 total ammo. For the barrel and mag perks, look to boost velocity without damaging Blast Radius. You'll likely be looking to Attrition Orbs in the second trait perk column and its ability to print multiple orbs with each shot - it's not clear yet whether this is bugged and in need of a nerf (but it kinda feels like it might). To pair with that in the first trait column, Demolitionist should get grenade ability back quickly to use as a reload perk, Under-Over should quickly cook non-matching elemental shields and the hidden damage resistance shields of Subjugators, or Unrelenting provides health regeneration. If you have access to void debuffs, Repulsor Brace is another option, to gain Void Overshields. The Bray Legacy origin trait is useful in PvE, working in the background to add ability energy to the one closest to a full charge on every tick of weapon damage. Recommended MW: Handling, with a Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, a Tactical mod for bumps to handling and Reload Speed, Synergy to generate Void Breaches, or Stunloader when there's a matching artifact mod.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller
