Armsday Recommendations: 12/28/16 [Aerikx Ed.] New Guns to blast into the New Year?

Hello everyone. It is another Armsday! I’m Aerikx & as usual I will be doing my best to give you the best recommendations for the Guns I have on order as well as any Rolls shared with me by friends & of course each of you! So please share the rolls with the community! Did The Foundries give us some sweet Guns to enter the New Year with? Or has “The Dusking” claimed another Armsday? [b][u]Disclaimers:[/u][/b] (Brought to you by Sweeper Bot’s Dustpan Emporium) All recommendations no matter how good or bad are still just opinion. My recommendations are based/decided on PVE & lean towards Static all round performance vs situational performance. The topic of “God Rolls” is often subjective as there are 2 types of God Rolls. Community = Popular Opinion/Recommendation of a roll. Personal = A roll that perfectly fits/enhances YOUR playstyle. In the end it is best to go with what makes YOU comfortable. I will [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] be making any PVP recommendations because I do not PVP often. However, Haunter has teamed with me to help recommend PVP Rolls. So please look for his PVP posting below! Now…let’s get to it! [b][u]Omolon[/u][/b] [b][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot Luck in the Chamber Single Point Sling/Reinforced Barrel Life Support/Danger Close Roll 2: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot Luck in the Chamber Single Point Sling/Oiled Frame Icarus/Danger Close Roll 3: Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Sureshot Luck in the Chamber Extended Mag/Rifled Barrel Life Support/Underdog Recommendation: Roll 1 Luck in the Chamber & Reinforced Barrel is a very nice touch to this gun. Life Support will give you a chance to get out of sticky situations. Overall the best Uffern roll seen in months. Last column could be better. I’m gambling and holding onto it. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Redeem or Save [b][u]Tuonela SR4[/u][/b] [Credit: Wildman02] Roll 1: Candle IS2/Flash HS4/Impulse MS2 Replenish Quickdraw/Casket Mag Grenadier/Danger Close Roll 2: Spark IS6/Torch HS2/Impulse MS2 Life Support Snapshot/Feather Mag Army of One/Danger Close Roll 3: Candle IS2/Torch HS2/Impulse MS2 Triple Tap Extended Mag/Smallbore Underdog/Army of One Recommendation: Roll 3 Triple Tap + Extended Mag on long range Guns such as this are amazing. Army of One can be useful, but in groups it will not pop often. You can order to Cocytus this week so grab one of these & order the Cocytus. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Redeem [b][u]Cocytus SR4[/u][/b] [Credit: that sunsinger] Roll 1: Spark IS6/Flash HS4/Impulse MS2 Triple Tap Lightweight/Feather Mag Firefly/Eye of the Storm Roll 2: Candle IS2/Flash HS4/Impulse MS2 Replenish Single Point Sling/Smallbore Firefly/Exhumed Roll 3: Spark IS6/Flash HS4/Impulse MS2 Triple Tap Extended Mag/Feather Mag Grenadier/Surrounded Recommendation: Roll 3 Triple Tap + Casket Mag is 2 out of 3 for the God Roll. Grenadier can be very helpful too! It’s not THE “God Roll” but this is VERY close. You can reorder this gun this week so do NOT pass up on this! Multiple players have compared this Scout to be close to/on par with WotM’s Chaos Dogma. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Reorder [b][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/b] Roll 1: Arc Candle IS2/Flash HS4 Army of One Accelerated Coils/Injection Mold Rangefinder/Surrounded Roll 2: Solar Spark IS6/Flash HS4 Army of One Lightweight/Oiled Frame Life Support/Surrounded Roll 3: Void Candle IS2/Torch HS2 Grenadier Single Point Sling/Oiled Frame Underdog/Surrounded Recommendation: None Tired of Waiting: Roll 1 Accelerated Coils & Rangefinder are a good pair, and Army of One should proc often due to the faster charge up. We all have seen much better rolls. Redeem, Save, Reorder: Save [b][u]Eirene RR4[/u][/b] [Credit: Wildman02] Roll 1: Arc Corvo SS2/Faucon SS1 Luck in the Chamber Snapshot/Rifled Barrel Battle Runner/Eye of the Storm Roll 2: Solar Corvo SS2/Aquila SS4 Firefly Snapshot/Injection Mold Replenish/Mulligan Roll 3: Void Corvo SS2/Faucon SS1 Firefly Hand-Laid Stock/Quickdraw Battle Runner/Eye of the Storm Recommendation: None Tired of Waiting: None Redeem, Save, Reorder: Save This Sniper is phenomenal. But all 3 of these rolls could use some serious therapy. Wait for next week. [b][u]Hakke[/u][/b] [b][u]Judith-D[/u][/b] Roll 1: Truesight/Steadyhand Triple Tap Outlaw Speed Reload/Armor Piercing Rounds/Oiled Frame Roll 2: Truesight/Sureshot Last Resort Rangefinder Speed Reload/Armor Piercing Rounds/Smallbore Roll 3: Quickdraw/Sureshot Crowd Control Spray & Play Snapshot/Explosive Rounds/Smallbore Recommendation: Roll 3 There is no Range perk which dramatically hurts it. But Crowd Control + Spray & Play is a very nice combo! Explosive Rounds will give you some AOE damage to somewhat make up for the lack of a Range. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Save. As good as Roll 3 is. If you are looking for an all-round Judith that will get you out of any situation. Hold onto that package! [b][u]Zarinaea-D[/u][/b] Roll 1: GB Iron/LD Watchdog Crowd Control Spray & Play Single Point Sling/Hand Loaded/Braced Frame Roll 2: GA Post/LD Watchdog Surrounded Glass Half Full High Calibur Rounds/Speed Reload/Braced Frame Roll 3: SC Holo/LC Ranged Partial Refund Rangefinder High Calibur Rounds/Hand Loaded/Rifled Barrel Recommendation: Roll 1 Not to be shown up by it’s sister AR. The Zarinaea delivers! This is one of a select few God Rolls for this gun. Crowd Control + Spray & Play on Auto Rifles is amazing! Braced Frame to maximize stability is icing on the cake! This is a gun to own people! Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Redeem [b][u]Arminius-D[/u][/b] Roll 1: GA Post/LC Ranged Hot Swap Glass Half Full Single Point Sling/Fitted Stock/Braced Frame Roll 2: SC Holo/LB Assault Relentless Tracker Rangefinder Single Point Sling/Speed Reload/Braced Frame Roll 3: GA Post/SD Thermal Army of One Focused Fire Single Point Sling/Speed Reload/Braced Frame Recommendation: Roll 1 Say it isn’t so. A demi-god roll on the Black Sheep of our Armsday Guns?! Hot Swap would be better as Crowd Control BUT it’s a decent boost, Glass Half Full combined with Smallbore is actually not a bad mix! Some would say it IS a God Roll, but Hot Swap ruins the party. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Redeem or Save [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [b][u]DIS-43[/u][/b] Roll 1: SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-41 Hammer Forged/Feather Mag Rangefinder Snapshot/Reinforced Barrel Roll 2: SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-41 High Caliber Round/Appended Magazine Take a Knee Snapshot/Rifled Barrel Roll 3: SLO-12/SPO-28/SRO-41 Perfect Balance/Feather Mag Rangefinder Speed Reload/Rifled Barrel Recommendation: Roll 3 Both Roll 1 & Roll 2 have Max Range. Roll 3 only slips ahead because Perfect Balance cancels out the penalty of Rifled Barrel, creating an overall more stable gun This gun is basically a sniper. You can reorder this week so grab Roll 3 & get spoiled by your range. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Reorder [b][u]DIS-47[/u][/b] [Credit: Wildman02] Roll 1: SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-41 Fitted Stock/Appended Magazine Take a Knee Snapshot/Injection Mold Roll 2: SLO-12/SPO-28/SRO-41 Casket Mag/Perfect Balance Spray & Play Snapshot/Reinforced Barrel Roll 3: SLO-12/SPO-28/SRO-41 Oiled Frame/High Caliber Rounds Zen Moment Speed Reload/Injection Mold Recommendation: Roll 2 Casket Mag for more ammo or Perfect Balance if you want even less of what little kick Suros weapons have. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Save This gun could be better. [b][u]Ari-41[/u][/b] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-26/SRO-37 Hammer Forged/Feather Mag Lightweight/Reinforced Barrel Feeding Frenzy Roll 2: SLO-19/SPO-28/SRO-37 High Caliber Rounds/Appended Magazine Speed Reload/Smallbore Hip Fire Roll 3: SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-41 Fitted Stock/Feather Mag Lightweight/Injection Mold Outlaw Recommendation: Roll 1 This has some serious Accuracy & Stability. Close to that of the Conviction VII of New Monarchy fame. Reinforced Barrel cancels out Hammer Forged, BUT the added range is worth it, don’t forget, Suros ARs are VERY stable by default. Feeding Frenzy is icing on the cake. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Redeem, Save (If you are waiting for a God Roll or Conviction VII clone.) [b][u]JLB-47[/u][/b] Roll 1: Void Aggressive Launch/Soft Launch/Hard Launch Single Point Sling/Speed Reload Cluster Bomb Javelin/Lightweight Roll 2: Void Aggressive Launch/Linear Compensator/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Tracking Javelin/Snapshot Roll 3: Solar Warhead Verniers/Smart Drift Control/Countermass Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Who’s Next Perfect Balance/Lightweight Recommendation: Roll 1 or Roll 2 Which JLB you desire is up to your playstyle. Both are Void, both have Javelin, both have Reload perks if you feel you need that. Roll 1 will clear out enemy swarms better due to its Cluster Bombs, whereas Roll 2 is good against Bosses & Ultras as it will track them down. Tired of Waiting: Redeem, Save, Reorder: Redeem If you are new, this can be a tidy you over until you score a Gjallahorn, Dragon’s Breath, or Truth. [b][u]Next Week’s Orders:[/u][/b] [u]Suros DIS-43:[/u] Order A reliable SR. Worth picking up, capable of having max range. [u]Omolon Cocytus SR4:[/u] Order This is a RARE order, & with the right rolls it can rival/come close to the Chaos Dogma. DO NOT PASS THIS UP! [u]Omolon Kumakatok HC4:[/u] 50/50 A decent Handcannon. Stable, easy to use, can rapid fire & reload decently. Grab this is you dislike the Vendor HCs and want something pretty, or if the next 2 orders don’t suit your fancy. [u]Hakke Strongbow-D:[/u] Order Not a bad Shotgun. 5 in the mag, stable, and reliable. [u]Hakke Aoife Rua-D:[/u] Pass Honestly, I have had 7 versions of this Sniper, it is not worth it. Have a safe week! Take care!
