Ahh! It’s Armsday!: 4/25/17 “Disappointment with a chance of dashed hope.”

Ahh! It’s Armsday…or should I say, “Meh. It’s Armsday.” Meh is the theme this week. As honestly nothing really felt or looked amazing. We have some good rolls, but nothing to get excited over. _____ [b][u]Disclaimers:[/u][/b] All recommendations no matter how good or bad are still pure opinion. My recommendations are 100% for PVE & strive for Static Performance vs Situational Performance. [b][u]God Rolls[/u][/b] There are 2 types of God Rolls. Community = Popular Opinion/Suggestion. Personal = A roll that perfectly fits/enhances [u]YOUR[/u] individual playstyle. [b][u]PVP[/u][/b] I will [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] be making PVP recommendations. Haunter will be covering PVP rolls in the comments below. _____ [b][u]Legend:[/u][/b] HC = Handcannon, SR = Scout Rifle, AR = Auto Rifle, PR = Pulse Rifle SPR = Sniper Rifle, FR = Fusion Rifle, RL = Rocket Launcher HCR = High Caliber Round, APR = Armor Piercing Rounds, EXR = Explosive Rounds AoO = Army of One, EotS = Eye of the Storm, LitC = Luck in the Chamber, S&P = Spray & Play SPS = Single Point Sling, HLS = Hand-Laid Stock, C&P = Close &/or Personal, SDC = Smart Drift Control [b][u]Omolon[/u][/b] [i]”Dragging you kick & screaming into a future with no dedicated servers.” [/i] [b][i][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Sureshot LitC Lightweight/Injection Mold Life Support/Danger Close Roll 2: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight AoO Lightweight/Braced Frame Icarus/Danger Close Roll 3: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight LitC Snapshot/Injection Mold Life Support/Underdog Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save No Range Perks. Unless you plan to use this as a time killer/filler/play around gun. These rolls will not serve you well. [b][i][u]Cocytus SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Spark/Torch/Impulse Life Support Snapshot/Casket Mag Firefly/Danger Close Roll 2: Candle/Flash/Impulse Replenish SPS/Feather Mag Firefly/Danger Close Roll 3: Candle/Flash/Impulse Life Support Snapshot/Casket Mag Grenadier/EotS Recommendation: Roll 1 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save or Redeem Roll 1 is pretty solid. Life Support will add to your survival due to it’s 25% chance to proc per kill, Casket Mag for extra ammo, & Firefly to clear out crowds as you kill your enemies with a bang. However, if you want something more stable or the god roll. Hang onto this order. It’s a rare sell. [b][i][u]Tuonela SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Spark/Flash/Signal Replenish Quickdraw/HLS Grenadier/EotS Roll 2: Candle/Torch/Impulse Replenish SPS/Casket Mag AoO/Exhumed Roll 3: Spark/Flash/Impulse Icarus Extended Mag/HLS AoO/Exhumed Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save I am loathe to say it but none of these appeal to me. Roll 1 comes close, but aside from high Stability (via HLS) it’s lackluster. Roll 2 has bonus ammo, but the proc rate of AoO will be very low due to the gun’s mid-rate impact. Roll 3 has Icarus so it is disqualified. [b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Void Spark/Flash Hot Swap SPS/Injection Mold Rangefinder/Surrounded Roll 2: Solar Candle/Flash Hot Swap Snapshot/HLS Life Support/Surrounded Roll 3: Arc Spark/Torch Replenish Snapshot/Braced Frame Rangefinder/Surrounded Recommendation: Roll 1 or Roll 3 (Decide based on the Element you seek) Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem (Save if you are seeking THE God Roll.) So both Roll 1 & Roll 3 will max out Stability & grant you a range bonus via Rangefinder with Roll 1 edging out Roll 3 due to Hot Swap. Basically, Hot Swap (while active) will make the bullet spray closer together so you’ll land more hits per shot. Pick the roll with the element you need/desire. [b][u]Hakke[/u][/b] [i]”Just 1 round, takes em down![/i] [b][i][u]Judith-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Truesight/Steadyhand AoO Who’s Next Speed Reload/EXR/Smallbore Roll 2: Truesight/Steadyhand Relentless Tracker S&P Speed Reload/HCR/Reinforced Barrel Roll 3: Quickdraw/Steadyhand Hot Swap S&P Snapshot/HCR/Reinforced Barrel Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save The Judith is a picky gun. While Roll 2 & 3 have a ranged perk the rest of the perks are trash. Relentless Tracker disqualifies Roll 2. Hot Swap is a wasted perk slot when on a Primary 70% of the time & it does the Judith NO justice. [b][i][u]Arminius-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SC Holo/LD Watchdog Relentless Tracker Feeding Frenzy Snapshot/Speed Reload/Braced Frame Roll 2: GA Post/SD Thermal Hot Swap Counterbalance Snapshot/Fitted Stock/Smallbore Roll 3: SC Holo/SD Thermal Crowd Control Feeding Frenzy Snapshot/Hand Loaded/Smallbore Recommendation: Roll 3 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem Roll 3 wins both by better perks & the fact Roll 1 & 2 got DQ’d for having unforgivable perks. Crowd Control + Feeding Frenzy is a god send on ARs. Smallbore however seals the deal! It will dramatically help the stability at the cost of some ammo. [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [i]”Lightweight. Stubby. Short Range. SUROS.”[/i] [b][i][u]PDX-45[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-28/SPO-57 Hammer Forged/Appended Magazine Counterbalance Speed Reload/Reinforced Barrel Roll 2: SLO-19/SPO-28/SPO-57 HCR/Feather Mag Take a Knee Speed Reload/Smallbore Roll 3: SLO-19/SPO-26/SPO-57 HCR/Oiled Frame Rangefinder Lightweight/Smallbore Recommendation: None. Roll 1 (IF for some god forsaken reason you want to burn the order) Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save! This is the rarest order Banshee offers. So I STRONGLY suggest you hold onto the order. That said, many folks ordered 3 of this gun. So for those who have orders to burn, Roll 1 is this week’s top dog. It addresses the PDX-45’s biggest weakness, Range (Hammer + Reinforced). But at the cost of Stability (Reinforced), however Counterbalance makes it easy to both control & predict recoil. [b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Aggressive Launch/Linear Compensator/Hard Launch SPS/Flared Magwell G&H Perfect Balance/Lightweight Roll 2: Solar Warhead Verniers/Soft Launch/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Speed Reload Surplus Perfect Balance/Quickdraw Roll 3: Warhead Verniers/Soft Launch/Countermass SPS/Flared Magwell S&P Javelin/Lightweight Recommendation: Any. 1st Place: Roll 3, 2nd Place: Roll 1, 3rd Place: Roll 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder You can reorder this weapon this week. So pick something you like. Roll 3 is many good things. It’s Arc (which is rare in RLs), will have a ridiculously fast Reload if you pair Flared Magwell with S&P. Javelin almost gives it max Velocity to boot. Roll 1 is just good & reliable, Flared Magwell for reload, G&H for those times an enemy tries to dodge your rocket, the last column is lacking however. Roll 2 is alright. Maxed Blast, & Surplus to keep Heavy Ammo coming. [b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b] (LC = Learning Curve) [u]Jingukogo-D[/u]: 50/50 RoF: 23, IMP: 52, R: 12, S: 56, RLD: 35, M: 3, LC: Veteran [u]JLB-47[/u]: Order Velo: 74, RLD: 51, RoF: 4, Blast: 84, S: 44, LC: Novice [u]Ari-41[/u]: Order RoF: 88, IMP: 8, R: 17, S: 68, RLD: 54, M: 32, LC: Novice [u]Strongbow-D[/u]: 50/50 RoF: 23, IMP: 52, R: 10, S: 56, RLD: 33, M: 5, LC: Intermediate [u]Kumakatok HC4[/u]: Pass RoF: 32, IMP: 68, R: 48, S: 60, RLD: 48, M: 9, LC: Novice ______ So this is a “meh” week. Guess it was too much to hope for a God Roll PDX huh? Have a great week! Guns Up Guardians!

    Tempted by the 3rd [b]Gaheris-D roll[/b] (for PVE), but would like the opinion of some veteran guardians: Truesight IS/Sureshot IS Army of One Spray and Play Speed Reload/High Caliber Rounds/Reinforced Barrel Good scopes and it has a range perk, but I guess there are better perks than AoO and S&P. I was waiting for Crowd Control and Range Finder, but might burn the order and hang on for a better Judith. FYI, the other rolls are: [b]Roll 1[/b] Quickdraw IS/Steadyhand IS Army of One Range Finder Snapshot/APR/Oiled Frame [b]Roll 2[/b] Truesight IS/Steadyhand IS Danger Close Who's Next? Speed Reload/HCR/Smallbore
