pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Yarovit MG4 not coming with Phase Mag is a disappointment. There has only been one other Omolon submachine gun in recent times to remind the community of the goofiness that is Phase Mag (its Stochastic Variable). Either way, Yarovit MG4 has some interesting perks. Rewind Rounds coupled with any of the damage perks like Surrounded, Desperate Measures, or Headstone will be a really strong combination. Unfortunately being a world drop means we won’t even be able to farm these until next season’s lost sectors and even then that’s not a given." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Yarovit MG4 has the makings to become the best Stasis smg in the game. Over in the crucible it’s only slightly different. Yarovit MG4 has the best consistency perks in Zen Moment and Dynamic Sway Reduction. It doesn’t matter what way you slice it, this weapon just will not move. This is before taking into consideration Omolon Fluid Dynamics allowing you to full send into range as your stability is covered. If you want even more stability out of the gate, Strategist bumps up your stability after you use your class ability and kills with this weapon add class ability energy. Headstone will be better with Stasis synergy but also denies revives with the crystal in game modes that allow revives/" Recommended MW: Range.

What these Yarovit MG4 perks do

Rewind Rounds

Upon emptying the Magazine: Refills 60% of the number of Hits landed (rounded up) into the Magazine from reserves. Hits are counted from either your last reload or the last time the perk was triggered. Does not require Direct Hits. Requires firing 28.75% of the Magazine Capacity for the refill to activate. Cannot load the Magazine beyond its base capacity. Hits after triggering a refill do not count while the Rewind Rounds buff is active (1? second). Adaptive Burst Linear Fusion Rifle behavior: • Each individual bolt in the burst counts as a Hit • Refill amount is uniquely 14% of the number of Hits rounded up (numbers are subject to change once we get more data points)

Surrounded

Being within 15 meters of 3 Enemies grants 40% increased damage. Buff lingers for 1.5 seconds once the condition is no longer met. Exceptions: • Swords only receive a 35% damage increase. • Grenade and Rocket Launchers receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase and a 40% Impact Damage increase. • Wolfpack Rounds receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase.

Desperate Measures

Weapon Kills grant 'Desperate Measures x1' (DMx1), increasing damage by 10% for 7 seconds. Grenade or Melee Kills grant 20% increased damage for 7 seconds (DMx2). Scoring another Grenade or Melee Kill with DMx2 active increases this to 30% (DMx3). Can be activated while stowed. Weapon, Grenade, and Melee Kills refresh the buff duration.

Headstone

Precision Kills create a Large Stasis Crystal at the target's location. Tier 1-2 Minor and Tier 1 Elite Combatants only spawn a Medium Stasis Crystal. Creating 5 Crystals within ? seconds prevents the perk from activating for 5 seconds.

Dynamic Sway Reduction

Each shot while holding down the trigger grants the following benefits: • 1 Stability • ?% decreased Accuracy Cone Size • 10% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth Reaches maximum strength after 10 shots, granting 10 Stability, ?% decreased Accuracy Cone Size, and 100% decreased Accuracy Cone Growth.

Strategist

Weapon Kills grant 10% Class Ability Energy. Kills with Fusion Rifles, Glaives, Shotguns, and Sniper Rifles grant 20%. Class Ability usage grants ? Stability for ? seconds. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Armor-Piercing Rounds

Zen Moment

Weapon Hits grant 1 Stack of the perk for 1 second up to the maximum of 5? Stacks.
