Ahh! It’s Armsday!: 2/15/17 “It's Crimson Singles this Armsday! Will you be my...God Roll?”

Good Morning/Afternoon, Sorry for the delay, I got kept very late at work & am very exhausted. Too exhausted to write more than this to be frank. I hope everyone had a good Valentines Day/Forever Alone Day (if you are like me.) This Armsday is decent in review. Many rolls however are spoiled by some ill fitting perks. Just like a relationship, it only takes 1 thing to ruin it... But Banshee brought us a box of rare orders instead of chocolate. So next week might be something to marvel at. _____ [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]"For a limited time. Buy our Crimson Singles Red Ammo Canisters! Omolon! Dragging you screaming into a lonely & terrifying future."[/i] [b][i][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot LitC Snapshot/Injection Mold Life Support/EotS Roll 2: Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Truesight AoO Snapshot/Braced Frame Icarus/EotS Roll 3: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight AoO Lightweight/Injection Mold Life Support/EotS Recommendation: None. Ugh these gave me pink eye… This gun can be reordered this week so let’s get something… Well Roll 1 imo is the most reliable. Just a decent gun. Roll 2 is for those who want to experiment with aerial combat. Roll 3 makes a good paperweight. Pick one, then dismantle it for some marks that will be 10x more useful to you. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder [b][i][u]Cocytus SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Candle/Torch/Signal Triple Tap Extended Mag/Rifled Barrel AoO/Danger Close Roll 2: Spark/Torch/Signal Life Support Lightweight/Smallbore Grenadier/Surrounded Roll 3: Candle/Flash/Impulse Icarus Lightweight/Rifled Barrel Firefly/Exhumed Recommendation: Roll 1 This gun can be reordered this week. Roll 1 is a mash up of perks. It will NOT be the most stable Scout Rifle around, but Triple Tap + Extended Mag make for some crazy DPS. Add in AoO on a High Impact SR like this is icing on the cake. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder [b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Spark/Flash Hot Swap Enhanced Battery/HLS Underdog/EotS Roll 2: Arc Candle/Flash Hot Swap Snapshot/Braced Frame Unflinching/Exhumed Roll 3: Void Spark/Flash Grenadier Skip Rounds/Oiled Frame Underdog/Exhumed Recommendation: Roll 1 or Roll 2 So both Roll 1 & 2 are on the cusp of a god roll. The key difference really being in the amount of stability you desire. The rest is personal preference. However, waiting is a very valid option. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save, Redeem if you can no longer hold onto the package. [b][i][u]Eirene RR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Solar Corvo/Aquila Outlaw Snapshot/Casket Mag Unflinching/EotS Roll 2: Arc Corvo/Faucon Outlaw Snapshot/Injection Mold Life Support/Mulligan Roll 3: Void Condor/Faucon Performance Bonus Snapshot/Rifled Barrel Unflinching/EotS Recommendation: None Roll 3 comes the closest imo. But perks like Triple Tap & Firefly are better options for that slot. None of these rolls shine enough to merit redeeming. Wait for next week. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][u]Hakke[/u][/b] [i]"This Armsday, Hakke would like to remind you that if you find yourself alone, sad, drunk, & depressed ths week. One thing that never fails to remedy the old Crimson Singles blues; is a well placed Hakke Bullet, right between the eyes of your ex. Yup, *glug* Right. Between. Their. Damn. Eyes. *glug, glug, weeping noises*"[/i] [b][i][u]Arminius-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: GA Post/SD Thermal Relentless Tracker Glass Half Full SPS/Hand Loaded/Rifled Barrel Roll 2: GB Iron/LB Assault Hot Swap Rangefinder SPS/Speed Reload/Rifled Barrel Roll 3: GA Post/LD Watchdog Surrounded Glass Half Full SPS/Speed Reload/Smallbore Recommendation: None. All of these are lacking in Stability, & perks like Relentless Tracker immediately disqualify the gun. Roll 2 & 3 have promise, but you’ll find the Armsday test guns to be more useful. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][i][u]Herja-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: GB Iron/LD Watchdog Surrounded Spray & Play Snapshot/Fitted Stock/Injection Mold Roll 2: GA Post/LC Ranged Crowd Control Unflinching HCR/Hand Loaded/HLS Roll 3: GB Iron/LB Assault Glass Half Full Rodeo Snapshot/Hand Loaded/HLS Recommendation: None. Roll 3 if you are tired of waiting. Roll 3 is the runner up as Rodeo helps with the gun’s already amazing stability, not to mention Glass Half Full for some added dps. Roll 2 looks good on paper, but the Herja’s low impact makes the time to kill longer than Crowd Control’s duration will allow. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [i]"Shiny. Buoyant. Edible. Polished. SUROS"[/i] [b][i][u]DIS-43[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-12/SPO-26/SPO-57 Perfect Balance/Feather Mag Counterbalance SPS/HLS Roll 2: SLO-12/SPO-26/SPO-57 HCR/Appended Magazine Take a Knee Snapshot/Smallbore Roll 3: SLO-12/SPO-28/SPO-57 HCR/Feather Mag Full Auto SPS/Smallbore Recommendation: Roll 1 or Roll 3 For those who want an almost absurdly stable SR. Take Roll 1. Roll 3 is for those who want the run & gun gameplay of a Full Auto Scout Rifle. It will still have some major kick, but the added mobility/speed was welcomed. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save or Redeem if you can no longer wait. [b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Arc Aggressive Launch/Soft Launch/Countermass SPS/Flared Magwell Tripod Javelin/Quickdraw Roll 2: Void Aggressive Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Speed Reload Who’s Next Perfect Balance/Snapshot Roll 3: Solar Confined Launch/Linear Compensator/Countermass Heavy Payload/Speed Reload Tracking Perfect Balance/Quickdraw Recommendation: Roll 3 So I often say how the JLB can be like a Gjallahorn or Truth. Roll 3 is a good example of this. Until you can score one…well a Gjallahorn (Truth has joined Dragon’s Breath as a Trophy weapon) this RL will serve you extremely well. The fact you can reorder it this week, is a blessing. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder [b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b] [u]Cocytus SR4[/u]: Order High Impact, Average Stability, Average magazine with a Intermediate learning curve. Can match/rival the HM Raid SR Chaos Dogma. [u]Tuonela SR4[/u]: Order Medium Impact, High Stability, Average Magazine, Reliable, with a Intermediate Learning Curve. This the Hung Jury before it got repainted. [u]Kumakatok HC4[/u]: Pass Medium Impact, High Rate of Fire, High Magazine, extremely short range. A placeholder HC if anything. [u]Uffern HC4[/u]: Order High Impact, High Range, Average HC magazine size, Stable, Powerful. Omolon's best HC, requires a Range & Reload perk to truly shine. [u]JLB-47[/u]: Order Nearly Maxed Blast Radius & Velocity, decent magazine size. Can be a clone of/can surpass every Exotic RL in the game. Well, that’s it for this week. Edit: Fleshed out some info, added more in. Sorry for the state lf this week's post. I have been overworked & I am having personal issues in RL. So I'm just not all "here" this week. I will try to do some testing to see how the patch has effected perks & etc. Guns up Guardian!
