pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Ah that new aggressive frame we just got. Another fine addition. Watchful Eye has some standout traits that Pro Memoria didn't. The first being Overflow and Field Prep both allowing better ammo usage. Reconstruction is fine but slow. Then you've got Arc verbiage through Rolling Storm and Jolting Feedback. Both of which depend on whether you like Bolt Charges or Jolt. Neither is the wrong choice. But if you like any other subclass you should look for Killing Tally." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 129 from 4 February 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/19eFPPXbMv7cC0w8kJ234H?si=d61c9144b9aa4974) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for sustained Boss damage in general, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with arc builds. Watchful Eye, as an aggressive frame is the best of the LMGs for damage at the time of writing. At base, the stats are average - 39 Range equates to 46.99m ADS and 29.37m hipfire, 49 Stability is ×1.1653 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 25 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.40s ADS and 0.37s stow speed, 37 Reload Speed is a 5.11s reload and Recoil Direction is 59. The mag size is 64 (max 87), and with 0/1/2/3 reserves mods total ammo is 429/483/538/566 (max 600). Use the barrel perk to add Handling and help control recoil to land crits easier, while you could make a case for any of the magazine perks but maybe the top choice is to look to increase mag size. For sustained damage, Overflow in the first trait column doubles the number of shots you for just picking up an ammo brick, bypassing reload altogether you can also overflow using the Runneth Over origin trait which overflows your magazine by 10% of base magazine capacity per nearby ally (up to 5) when reloading and, when the stars align, they can both proc to dump around half of your total ammo into the mag. Alternatively, Enhanced Field Prep can get you to maximum ammo reserves with two reserves mods, and boosts reload speed and handling. To pair with all that ammo, Jolting Feedback synergises with arc builds to apply jolt to targets for additional damage. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with a Backup Mag mod. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

To pair with all that ammo, on an arc build Rolling Thunder makes it easy to generate Bolt Charge stacks on kills for AoE lightning strikes, even in end-game content.
