Both roll 1 and 3 this week are great for the Cocytus SR4 for PVE.
[b]Roll 1 : [/b]
* Spark, [b]Flash[/b], impulse
* [b]Triple tap[/b]
* [b]Rifled barrel/Quickdraw[/b]
* [b]Firefly[/b]/underdog
[b]Roll 3 :[/b]
* Spark, [b]Torch[/b], Impulse
* [b]Rescue mag[/b] (pretty high chance to refill the magazine when healthbar is red, can proc while weapon is stowed)
* [b]Extended mag[/b] (increases base mag size from 12 to 16), Rifled barrel
* [b]Firefly[/b], Eye of the storm
[b]Roll 1[/b] has the exact same perks as hung jury in the first and 3rd slot but the impact is a bit higher and you can choose quickdraw for better aim down sights/ready speed or rifled barrel for more range/aim assist (but you will have slightly slower reload as a result). I quite like the target highlighting on hung jury (it highlights targets but only at the optimal combat range). The Flash scope available on the Cocytus SR4 this week also highlights targets (but at any range). You can get up to 5 bonus shots in the mag from triple tap if you hit all precision shots (helps with the base mag size of 12).
[b]Roll 3[/b] will get you more in the mag with extended mag , but no triple tap (this is fine because you have more in the mag at base with extended mag = 4 extra bullets regardless of precision shots, AND you will get more bullets from rescue mag). The torch sight gives extra AA as well which is great.
If you really like the highlight scope, maybe grab roll 1. If you want a larger mag more consistently with the added benefit of rescue mag with a scope that gives bonus AA, grab roll 3.
[b]Overall compared stats comparison[/b] - Cocytus SR4 has higher base impact and aim assist. Hung jury has higher base RoF, stability, and magazine. The lower RoF of the Cocytus SR4 means it doesn't need as much stability as hung jury because it will have more time to recenter betwen shots.
The higher impact also means you can one shot more things, so it will be more efficient in terms of ammo usage. For example, Cocytus can one shot acolytes in the hard raid with a head shot at 318+ during totems and warpriest (it may leave them with a sliver at golgoroth). Hung jury can not (even at 320).

* Rof : [b]37[/b]
* Impact : 48
* Range : 72
* Stability : [b]63[/b]
* Reload : 75
* Magazine : [b]16 base, (20 with extended)[/b]
* Aim assist : 26
* Equip speed: 66
* Recoil direction: 80
[b]For the sake of completeness, here is roll 2 (icarus is a waste on a scout rifle but handlaid stock and firefly are both good) :[/b]
* Candle, Flash, Impulse
* Icarus
* Snapshot, Hand laid stock
* Firefly, Eye of the storm
This roll will have more stability than 1 and 3.
[b]Reminder about the hung jury roll from the dead orbit vendor:[/b]
* Candle, torch, signal
* triple tap
* extended mag/handlaid stock
* Firefly/underdog
I'm debating getting one, three or both personally, but I'd like to pick one to save one roll for another week. If anyone gets one or three and tries it in the raid, I'd be very curious to hear how it works out for you.
[b]Ideal roll for this gun for PVE would be as follows :[/b]
* Life support
* Extended mag
* Firefly
If anyone picks these up and tries them in the raid please report back with how you like the guns!! Especially if you bought both 1 and 3!
[b]Reminder for chirstmas noobs[/b] - you can only get access to roll 2 and 3 if you are at least rank 2 and 3 with the gunsmith respectively. You can do his test weapons each week to level up your gunsmith rep. You have to order guns the previous week (wednesday - saturday) then they are delivered on the next wednesday. If you dont like the rolls you get you can hold it for an additional week to get different ones.
Edit: Lol that firefly is both an ingame perk and a networking error and the forum autolinks to it every time you use that word.

bump. These rolls will be gone on wednesday!

I got roll 3 as a drop at the beginning of TTK. It has been my go too raid/strike scout. It hits like the jade rabbit.

13 RepliesLow impact scout rifles are bad in PvE, even the famed Hung Jury. I'll take the VoC or Gheleon's Demise archetype over that spam-firing crap any day.
-
Hung jury still has better overall stats and more shots

5 RepliesTu-o-nel-A! Tu-o-nel-A!

My Cocytus SR4 is 320 already....

Armsday, you still do that crap

2 RepliesAfter checking gunsmith for every week at first, i stopped it cos there was never anything that i wanted, damn i got pissed off when friend told me there was cocytus for a week too late...
-
I have watched the bullet swerve to hit crit shots with the Cocytus. The range helps so much with the aim assist. The Hung Jury just does not move when fired. If you could have the range and stability of both in one rifle that would be the god roll for a scout. I like both, but damn is it hard to choose which one is better.

2 RepliesSo I've been running around with my tuonela sr4 all night thinking I had my new Cocytus. I was wondering why it had such a fast fire rate for the impact. Derp.
-
2 RepliesTy for this thread bc I didn't wanna start another. I have a cocytus from armsday with the same perks as the dead orbit HJ (just got mine to 320) and idk if I should infuse my cocytus to 320 also and give to an alt (one less weapon to switch when raiding, plus I was given THREE 320 zhaouli's from oryx challenge this week and I need to infuse things to clean up my vault) [b]can the cocytus one shot the acolytes/taken in king's fall hars mode?[/b] I feel like this would be the only real deciding factor, besides preference, that would give me incentive to use it over HJ I also have an uffern with litc/firefly but hand cannons just blow in pve

2 RepliesI still prefer jury for the fire rate
-
Roll 2 is the best for pvp
-
Edited by TREMBLE 333: 1/9/2016 4:06:57 AMNot Like the Others from the Van QM beats them both. Easily and completely. For PvE AND PvP. Has Crowd Control AND Reactive Reload w the added bonus of Feather Mag or Explosive Rounds.. I win. 150 Marks and you can have it anytime.

this week is mTRASH, holding out till next week
-
Got one with roll 1. I like it.
-
Nice. Good job.
-
Thank you guardian for the informative, well written post. I definitely would not mind seeing posts like this more often on these forums
-
20 with extended mag PLUS triple tap on Hung Jury though...
-
Edited by CooPehLooP: 1/8/2016 5:51:34 PMWish I picked up a package.
-
Nice analysis
-
short version: Hung Jury for PVE Cocytus (roll 2 simply because of stability perk) for PVP hoping GS offers it again with a better PVP oriented roll (firefly is wasted perk in pvp imho) since Colovance's Duty hasn't dropped for me in the past 2 IB
-
I went with roll 2 for braced frame. It already has good range as is. Mine was mainly for pvp though.
-
5 RepliesReminds me of a Badger CCL
-
10 RepliesI think hung jury is better because if both scouts take 2 shots to kill an acolyte. I would rather have a higher rof scout with a bigger mag
-
I'm liking the 3rd option! It feels a lot like the G's Demise that was sold last year around this time. (Same impact and fire rate + firefly). That was my favorite non-elemental legendary for pve last year. Too bad it doesn't have outlaw, but the extended mag gives it 16, which is pretty decent. I've always preferred slower firing scouts for pve, most times I take that long to get the next enemy's head in my sights anyway, so the fast firing scouts are just lower impact for effectively the same fire rate.
