Best PvE SMG?
Kind of curious what everyone thinks the best pve SMG is. I hardly ever use them and would like to start. I know the Riskrunner is good but only when arc damage is present. What are some good legendary SMGs?

Edited by diakopoi: 7/21/2018 4:39:55 PMPvE: Ikelos SMG, New City, Heroes Burden. PvP: Heroes Burden, Antiope-D, and Stochastic Variable. And also Motion to Suppress. But I wouldn’t use Sidearms or SMGs in PvE unless it’s Riskrunner. And if you are using Mida, use the Mini-Tool.

Risk runner. Ikelos smg Pvp- antiope or atlanta d.
-
Riskrunner is amazing against the fallen, you should try it!

Beidenhander - like antiope, but HC rounds instead of kill clip. Hero's burden - great reload speed and dps when taking on tons of enemies up close For PvP I use stochastic variable, antiope, adjudicator, or motion to suppress
-
Antiope d or conqueror for kinetic both have kill clip, Ikelos for energy
-
I prefer Antiope D for kinetic damage; Mida Mini or Mob Justice for elemental.

Edited by Pippo: 7/20/2018 1:36:33 AMStrange, so many people seem to like the Hero's Burden. I infused it up to 385 and somehow didn't really like it. Similiar to Mob Justice. Guess I'll try out the Sol Pariah next. Generally though, I just prefer different kinds of auto rifles instead of SMGs. Their rpm ranges from 450 (Uriel's, Positive Outlook, Kibou), to 600 (Duty Bound, Ghost Primus) to 720 (Valakadyn, Perseverance). Their range is more versatile imo. Edit: Corrected 900rpm to 720.

Edited by GhostPunkX6: 7/20/2018 1:31:11 AMHuckleberry..easy. Just takes up that exotic slot. Edit: I see what I did there. Probably heros burden.
-
antiope d for kenetic and the ikelos submachine gun for elemental.
-
Heros burden is good but royal dispensation from new monarchy is my favorite pve weapon. Hcr and grave robber make it perfect for up close and personal add control

Antiope & Hero’s Burden

15 RepliesI dismantle every SMG and sidearm I get other than Drang. Not sure why I kept them since they no longer serve any purpose. With all the other weapon options at our disposal, I can not think of one situation ever where I wish I had an SMG or sidearm in PvE.
-
1 ReplyTry Huckleberry or sol pariah (with less firerate perk). I use the ikelos smg and it feels lackluster in pve tbh.
-
Legendary wise, I’d say Antiope-D is the best Kinetic SMG and Hero’s Burden is the best Energy SMG
-
I like the Osiris ones.
-
Edited by Swiftlock: 7/19/2018 6:13:19 PMAntiope because of high range + Kill Clip.
-
I prefer Hero's burden for PVE stuff. Easy to dump the clip with a super fast reload. Other than that, Antiope is still the best PVE smg arguably.
-
EP one. It's what I used in prestige EoW
-
2 RepliesHuckleberry
-
Risk runner is nuts in certain situations but I'd probably say the EP one, majority of them are pretty similar.
-
In PVE I like Heros Burden over any other SMG. In Crucible it’s hard to beat Antiope or Motion, but Heros Burden is still at least #2 or 3
-
3 RepliesEdited by Lord_Shar: 7/19/2018 8:58:41 PMI have to agree with the posts below saying Ikelos_SMG_v101 is one of the better PVE SMG's... though it also rocks in PVP. :D
-
2 RepliesAntiope, if your asking for the best pve smg. Kill clip makes it a beast, I use it in ep all the time.
-
Edited by DiZ: 7/19/2018 3:32:55 PMKinetic? Antiope, and if you're on PC, Huckleberry. Energy? Probably Ikelos because of the shield break perk and Grave Robber. And Riskrunner depending on the encounter/enemy type.
-
I like the Antiope-D for the kinetic slot and the Ikelos SMG for energy.

3 RepliesEdited by zJDz: 7/19/2018 1:49:10 PMRoyal dispensation II Hero’s burden Stochastic variable Ikelios smg <—- the best smg hands down. The smg from brother Vance (don’t remember the name) Foggy notion There might be a few others. I feel like 900 rpm 20 impact is he best all around elemental smg. Next would be the 600 rounds per minute with 25 impact for elementals. Stay away from the 900 rate of fire and 15 impact, they are all garbage. Except maybe mida mini (which I don’t like because it’s a 900 rate of fire with 15 impact).
