Good Morning! It’s another Armsday, the Foundries & Cryptoarcheologists have joined forces to produce some of the most disappointing rolls possible for us! Let’s see what their combined efforts has produced! _____ [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 his PVP posting 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 SPS = Single Point Sling, Hand-Laid Stock = HLS, Close &/or Personal = C&P _____ [b][u]Omolon[/u][/b] [i]”This month Omolon would like to unveil the next step into the Future, the Omolon Irkalla SW4! The Irkalla is Omolon’s first foray into the heavy hitting world of Swords! While currently in early Pre-Alpha testing. It Irkalla will be the first Liquid Sword in the universe! Place your pre-orders now! Omolon! Dragging you kicking & screaming into the ever darkening & frightening future!”[/i] [b][i][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight Mulligan Extended Mag/Oiled Frame Life Support/Underdog Roll 2: Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Truesight Mulligan Lightweight/Rifled Barrel Icarus/Underdog Roll 3: Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Sureshot Grenadier SPS/Oiled Frame Life Support/Underdog Recommendation: None. Roll 2 if you no longer can wait. This is the only roll with a Range Perk, & as we have discussed. You NEED a Range perk on your HCs. If you cannot wait any more, Roll 2 will edge out the other rolls due to the reduction in bloom. However, you are better off waiting till week. This isn’t up for reorder so no lesser rolls to play with. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][i][u]Cocytus SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Candle/Flash/Impulse Icarus Extended Mag/Casket Mag Grenadier/Exhumed Roll 2: Spark/Torch/Impulse Rescue Mag Quickdraw/Feather Mag Grenadier/Exhumed Roll 3: Candle/Torch/Impulse Icarus Extended Mag/Smallbore AoO/Underdog Recommendation: None. If you no longer wish to wait, then take your pick of Roll 1 or Roll 3. Icarus is honestly very unreliable on SRs. Unless you are a Sunsinger or have Empyrean Bellicose you won’t get much use from Icarus. But column 2 & 3 for both rolls makes up for it somewhat. I personally would go for AoO over grenadier, why refresh only 1 cooldown? Save your order. Wait till next week. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Spark/Flash AoO Accerated Coils/Injection Mold Underdog/Danger Close Roll 2: Void Candle/Flash Grenadier Lightweight/Oiled Frame Unflinching/Dancer Close Roll 3: Void Spark/Torch AoO Lightweight/HLS Underdog/Danger Close Recommendation: Roll 1 or Roll 3 These 2 rolls are basically the same. The choice is between a faster charge time via Accelerated Coils or Max Stability at the cost of some range. These are solid rolls, they will not fail you, AoO will proc a lot due to how hard the Thesan hits. I suggest waiting till next week as all 3 rolls have lackluster 3rd columns in my opinion. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][u]Hakke[/u][/b] [i]”Greetings Guardians! Cayde-6 here, & I would just like to let you know that this is not an ad. This is a formal announcement regarding your weaponry. With all the SIVA floating around I just want you to remember to check your weapons & armor. Make sure they are clean, reliable, & powerful, you know, just like a Hakke, the brand that always shoots straight, never fails under pressure, is powerful enough to castrate an enraged Ogre, & has bullets so large they still give Lord Shaxx Night Terrors. I remember that day…Ikora just used 1 round, & Shaxx was down.”[/i] [b][i][u]Herja-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: GB Iron/LC Ranged Headseeker Counterbalance Snapshot/Fitted Stock/HLS Roll 2: GA Post/SD Thermal Headseeker Zen Moment HCR/Fitted Stock/Oiled Frame Roll 3: GB Iron/SD Thermal Surrounded Rangefinder Snapshot/Hand Loaded/Oiled Frame Recommendation: Roll 1. Roll 2 is a very close 2nd place. I am convinced the Herja-D was forged in the horrors of war. Everytime this gun drops it has perks meant to hurt someone. So Roll 1 edges out Roll 2 due to Counterbalance. Counterbalance makes this guns recoil VERY easy to handle & predict so that 4th Hakke round will most likely not miss, adding in Fitted Stock for max stability, & you have a PR that does the following: 1. Shoots 4 rounds per shot, 2. Is a Laser Beam, 3. Bonus Headshot dmg This gun even before its perks shoots as smooth as melted butter. Now, for those who want to ensure they can flinch their opponents will want Roll 2. The price however is that you will have to rely on Zen Moment to fill in for Counterbalance so you’ll need to body your foe first. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem or Save Redeem if you want a solid PR that I will debatably say will serve you well in PVE & *gasp* even PVP. Save if you want a better roll. (I know there are better MUCH rolls than this.) I am holding onto this one for at least 1 more week. [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [i]”Flexible. Nimble. Spread. Out. Supple. Elastic. Open. Ready. To. Receive. SUROS.”[/i] [b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Confined Launch/Linear Compensator/Hard Launch SPS/Flared Magwell Reactive Reload Perfect Balance/Quickdraw Roll 2: Solar Confined Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch SPS/Speed Reload Vacuum Perfect Balance/Lightweight Roll 3: Void Warhead Verniers/Smart Drift Control/Countermass Heavy Payload/Speed Reload Surplus Javelin/Quickdraw Recommendation: Roll 3 Basically this is a RL you dumbfire into a crowd of enemies. No G&H, No tracking this week. But with near maxed Velocity & Blast, this RL will wreck havoc. Surplus basically makes the gun work for you buy suppling you with Heavy. You can reorder this RL this week, so pick up Roll 3. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder [b][i][u]JLB-42[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Aggressive Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch SPS/Speed Reload Spray & Play Javelin/Quickdraw Roll 2: Solar Confined Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Reactive Reload Perfect Balance/Snapshot Roll 3: Confined Launch/Soft Launch/Hard Launch SPS/Flared Magwell Vacuum Perfect Balance/Quickdraw Recommendation: Eh…Roll 1 is the better of these 3 but all of these are weak imo. Hard Launch + Javelin will help boost this RL’s Velocity, Spray & Play will help out when you are being rushed but that is it. You are better off waiting till next week for much better rolls. Very few of these rolls have perks that will better your experience. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][i][u]DIS-43[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-26/SRO-41 HCR/Oiled Frame Take a Knee SPS/Smallbore Roll 2: SLO-19/SPO-28/SRO-41 Perfect Balance/Casket Mag Counterbalance Lightweight/Injection Mold Roll 3: SLO-19/SPO-28/SRO-41 Fitted Stock/Oiled Frame Hidden Hand Lightweight/Reinforced Barrel Recommendation: Roll 2 Roll 3 as an alternative Basically, Roll 2 is a great all round SR. Perfect Balance + Counterbalance really help repair th3 stability on this gun, Counterbalance being really nice as it makes the recoil vertical & in effect…predictable. Roll 3 however has max range, and Hidden Hand, so you can Snipe with it. Basically this SR will let you land Precision shots easier than ever before from I dare say…across the map. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder [b][i][u]DIS-47[/u][/i][/b] [Credit: Crelder] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-26/SRO-41 Hammer Forged/Casket Mag Full Auto Lightweight/Smallbore Roll 2: SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-37 High Caliber Rounds/Feather Mag Luck in the Chamber Lightweight/Smallbore Roll 3: SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-37 Fitted Stock/Appended Magazine Hip Fire Single Point Sling Rifled Barrel Recommendation: None, Roll 1 if you no longer wish to wait. The lack of Stability is the DIS series weakness. Smallbore helps but Full Auto demands more Stability to be more effective. But not a bad roll tbh. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b] [u]DIS-43[/u]: Order A reliable, powerful long range SR. Intermediate learning curve due to the low stability & recoil. However once mastered the gun is a force to be reckoned with. A Suros’ gem. Medium sized Mag, [u]Eirene RR4[/u]: Order The #1 Armsday Sniper Rifle. Capable to fill it for many High Impact Snipers, it is very reliable, powerful, & versatile. It has a low magazine, but if capable of rolling all the stats that most desire on SPRs. Firefly, Triple Tap, Casket Mag, etc. Don’t pass this one up! [u]Arminius-D[/u]: Pass Hakke’s High RoF AR. This gun is fun to use, but has weak/light damage. I would love to recommend it as many players hunt for it due to it being capable of rolling the same as Trials’ own: Doctrine of Passing But, for most players, this gun requires Braced Frame, & typically a damage or range (Pending on preference) perk. [u]Aoife Rua-D[/u]: Pass No! Just no! Stop! I almost ordered this JUST to so how bad it’s rolls will be. But I can’t do it… [u]JLB-47[/u]: Order Suros’ best RL. Capable of nearly maxing all Blast & Velocity. Don’t pass this one up! Well, this Armsday was mediocre if you ask me. I blame the Cryptarchs. Have a nice week & weekend everyone! Guns up Guardian!
