Ahh!! It’s Armsday!
Another week, another Armsday.
2017’s first Armsday was mostly lackluster. Will this week make up for it?
Remember folks never say:
“I hope it’s going to be a good year.” Instead, say: “I’m going to make it a good year.”

If at any time you see a Roll that fits your playstyle perfectly (Personal God Roll), or that you feel more comfortable claiming, get it.

Roll 1:
Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot
LitC
Snapshot/Injection Mold
Triple Tap/Exhumed
Roll 2:
Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Truesight
LitC
Quickdraw/Reinforced Barrel
Rescue Mag/Exhumed
Roll 3:
Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Sureshot
Ao1
Lightweight/Injection Mold
Triple Tap/Exhumed
Recommendation:
Tired of Waiting: Roll 2
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
Roll 2 is the only one with a Range perk, so it wins by default. No Reload Perk, Rescue mag for sticky situations. Not a strong roll, but also not a weak one.

Roll 1:
Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight
Grenadier
Extended Mag/Reinforced Barrel
Firefly/Surrounded
Roll 2:
Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight
LitC
Quickdraw/Injection Mold
Triple Tap/Surrounded
Roll 3:
Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot
Grenadier
SPS/Reinforced Barrel
Firefly/Surrounded
Recommendation: Roll 3
Tired of Waiting:
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save or Redeem
This was nearly an “Aerikx God Roll”. Ao1 would be better, but Grenadier is a close 2nd place, Reinforced for Range, & Firefly to add to your death dealing! No Reload perk, but Omolon HCs can easily make due with Handcannon Loader Gloves.

Spark/Torch/Signal
Life Support
SPS/Feather Mag
Firefly/Danger Close
Roll 2:
Candle/Flash/Signal

Snapshot/Smallbore
Firefly/Underdog
Roll 3:
Spark/Flash/Signal
Icarus
Snapshot/Feather Mag
Ao1/Surrounded
Recommendation:
Tired of Waiting: Roll 1
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
Roll 1 has Omolon’s best Sight (Torch), crowd dps capabilities, and Survival Utility. If you can’t wait longer, it’s a decent SR. But I suggest waiting longer.

Roll 3:

Recommendation: None

Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
None of these rolls are worth a second glance.

Firefly
HCR/Reinforced Barrel

Roll 3:
Solar
Corvo/Aquila
Firefly
HCR/Rifled Barrel
Battle Runner/Underdog
Recommendation:
Tired of Waiting: Roll 3 or Roll 1
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
Omolon continues to let us down this week. The Uzume is a SMOOTH shot, but these perks are “aight”. Roll 3 has HCR w/which ill make up for the Low Impact of the Uzume, Firefly will ignite brains, & Underdog for when you are in a pinch.
Roll 1 swaps Firefly for Triple Tap, making it more single target DPS orientated.

Roll 3:
Yepaki/Faucon
LitC
Lightweight/Reinforced Barrel
Replenish/Last Resort
Recommendation: Roll 2
Tired of Waiting:
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem or Save
Roll 2 is evil. So close to a God Roll, yet off by 1 perk. I dare call it a Demi-God Roll. Ammo will not be an issue with that Eirene. It doesn’t have Triple Tap to push out extra boss DPS, but Firefly is a nice consolation perk.
You can do some real damage & raise some Chaos with Firefly, especially during burns.

Honestly, I find all of these to be lacking. LitC on a SR is difficult to call, as SRs have large magazines so getting the LitC proc takes significantly longer. Icarus is iffy on SRs unless you are a Warlock or Titan, & even then…
[b][i][u]DIS-47[/u][/i][/b]
Roll 1:
SLO-12/SPO-28/SRO-41
Perfect Balance/Feather Mag

Roll 3:

Triple Tap
Speed Reload/Injection Mold
Recommendation:
Tired of Waiting: Roll 2 or Roll 3
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
If you must redeem. Roll 3 is the better option as you’ll get more benefit out of it.
Rolls 1 & 2 both have Stability & Range Perks that nearly cancel eachother’s penalties away, but the end result is an everyday SR.
Roll 3 has Triple Tap & Perfect Balance, Triple Tap for DPS, Perfect Balance to make pulling off that dps easier, Speed Reload is nice, Injection Mold helps too but it will hurt your range.
Roll 2 however is a VERY stable DIS-47 with decent range.
Personal preference prevails here.

Roll 1 if you want a Longer Range AF.
Roll 2 for a stable Hip Firing AF.
Roll 3 for a Jack of All Trades AF.
[b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b]
[u]Zarinaea-D[/u]: Order
This AF is very reliable. It is basically a Year 2 & 3 Shadow Price.
[u]Ari-41[/u]: Order
This AF is very reliable as well. Very stable, & can equal &/or surpass New Monarchy’s Righteous VII with the right perks.
[u]PDX-41[/u]: 50/50
This is a High Impact AF. I have yet to have good result with it.
Word is, it’s tailored towards PVP.
[u]Jingukogo-D[/u]: 50/50
A reliable Shotgun for newer players. This is a good placeholder & packs enough punch to get you out of trouble.
[u]Tamar-D[/u]: 50/50
One of Hakke’s attempts at SPRs. IF you want a Hakke SPR, this is the one to order. It’s better than the Aoife Rua-D in every way possible.
[b][u]Cannot[/u][/b] roll Triple Tap, Extended Mag, Firefly, Clown Cartridge & etc.

Well, I guess I should order that stamp huh?
We had a nice treat with the Eirene however right?
I guess the Foundries are in a 2016 liquidation sale right now…
Until next week, stay safe out there. Eyes Up Guardians!
