Ahh! It’s Armsday! It’s been an event week as we got some bombs dropped on D1’s Final Patch & our future in D2. We’re in our final weeks/months, but we might as well try to make them as fun as we can until D-Day (heh…) hits. So, don’t give up on that God roll. I got my Personal God Roll Uffern last week, you might get your Tuonela (Haunter), or that DIS-47 (Kroppin). Just remember that with [i]Patience & Time[/i] (Yes, I’m going to hell.) you can get the gun you desire. On to the rolls… _____ [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. Look for Haunter’s PVP recommendations in the comments. _____ [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 Rounds, 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, HLS = Hand-Laid Stock, C&P = Close &/or Personal [b][u]Omolon[/u][/b] [i]”Greetings from Omolon! Today we would like to introduce you to the brand new “Sterilization” line. These canisters not only have the same flavor & unforgettable squirt as regular Omolon canisters, but also have a deep cleaning compound that cleans your enemies wounds & leaves a sterile corpse behind, perfect for looting. Remember, Omolon always have your best interests & safety in mind. Unlike other brands with names that resemble: Lugee, & Sorrows. Those names don’t sound very safe or clean at all! Omolon! Dragging you kicking & screaming into an ever more sterile & xenophobic future!”[/i] [b][i][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight Grenadier Snapshot/Oiled Frame Rescue Mag/EotS Roll 2: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight Grenadier Lightweight/Rifled Barrel Triple Tap/EotS Roll 3: Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Truesight Grenadier Lightweight/Oiled Frame Rescue Mag/Underdog Recommendation: Roll 2 (But no harm in waiting another week.) Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem or Save Roll 2 is not a God Roll but it’s a good one. Truesight is the 2nd best sight for HCs, Grenadier reduces Grenade cooldown like AoO but it doesn’t require an unassisted kill, & Rifled Barrel + Triple Tap fixes the range of the HC & gives you some bonus DPS for bosses. [b][i][u]Cocytus SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Spark/Flash/Impulse Icarus Snapshot/Smallbore Firefly/Surrounded Roll 2: Candle/Flash/Impulse Life Support Quickdraw/Feather Mag Firefly/Exhumed Roll 3: Spark/Torch/Impulse Replenish Extended Mag/Smallbore Firefly/Exhumed Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Sadly, these rolls leave much to be desired. This is a rare sell so hold onto this order. [b][i][u]Tuonela SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Candle/Torch/Impulse Triple Tap Lightweight/Feather Mag Firefly/EotS Roll 2: Spark/Torch/Impulse Life Support Quickdraw/Smallbore AoO/EotS Roll 3: Candle/Flash/Impulse Replenish Extended Mag/Feather Mag AoO/Underdog Recommendation: Roll 1 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save or Redeem I wrestled with this one. Roll 1 is a strong roll, but the middle perks are sorely lacking. Torch + Triple Tap + Firefly make for an amazing Scout Rifle. However, Lightweight & Feather Mag don’t do this SR any favors. I personally would hold onto this order. The rolls seem to be improving, so a god or near god roll may be around the corner. But Roll 1 will still serve you well if you just have to burn the order. [b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Arc Candle/Torch Grenadier Enhanced Battery/Oiled Frame Life Support/Surrounded Roll 2: Void Spark/Torch Grenadier Snapshot/Injection Mold Rangefinder/Surrounded Roll 3: Solar Candle/Flash AoO Skip Rounds/HLS Life Support/Surrounded Recommendation: Roll 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem (Save if you are hunting that God Roll) Roll 2 is surprisingly strong. Torch + Injection Mold (For stability), Rangefinder helps negate the range penalty from Injection Mold, however the Stability of Injection mold is worth it as this FR hits HARD. For those who prefer more shots, Roll 1 is for you. Enhanced Battery + Life Support is a good survival combo. [b][i][u]Eirene RR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Arc Condor/Aquila Triple Tap SPS/Reinforced Barrel Life Support/Mulligan Roll 2: Void Condor/Aquila Triple Tap SPS/Oiled Frame Unflinching/EotS Roll 3: Solar Condor/Faucon Triple Tap SPS/Casket Mag Life Support/Shoot to Loot Recommendation: Roll 3 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem (Save if you are God Roll Hunting) Oh how the Foundries tease us with near God Rolls… Roll 3 is amazing. Triple Tap + Casket Mag is a great combo, as you can get about 7 to 8 rounds with that combo alone. The last column gives you some customization, Life Support for tough fights, & Shoot to Loot for more casual outing or times when Ammo is being camped/hardscoped by your enemies. [b][u]Hakke[/u][/b] [i]”Good Morning Guardians. Mr. Hakke here, I just wanted to remind you that a Hakke gun is a REAL Guardian’s gun. Our guns don’t squirt like that other brand. After all, who uses a Squirt gun? Children. That’s who. Our gun’s don’t have provocative descriptions in a desperate attempt to make sales off the consumer’s hidden urge/desire for *ahem* intercourse. What are we? Neanderthals? Hakke guns do what a gun is supposed to do, kill your enemy, make you look good while doing it, & prove that you are a strong Guardian who laughs in the face of Peregrine Greaves. So, do yourself a favor & get a Hakke. After all, you’re not a squeaker…are you? Hakke! Just one round, takes em down!”[/i] [b][i][u]Herja-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SC Holo/LD Watchdog Danger Close Rangefinder Snapshot/Fitted Stock/Reinforced Barrel Roll 2: GA Post/LB Assault Surrounded Rodeo Snapshot/Speed Reload/Injection Mold Roll 3: SC Holo/SD Thermal Danger Close Unflinching HCR/Speed Reload/Injection Mold Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save None of these rolls do the Herja justice. Wait for next week. [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [i]”Stable. Precise. Superior. Pacifying. Now. With. Ribs. All. The. Cool. Skilled. Superior. Intelligent. Guardians. Own. SUROS.”[/i] [b][i][u]DIS-43[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-12/SPO-28/SPO-57 Perfect Balance/Casket Mag Spray & Play SPS/Smallbore Roll 2: SLO-12/SPO-26/SPO-57 Hammer Forged/Oiled Frame Zen Moment Snapshot/Rifled Barrel Roll 3: SLO-12/SPO-26/SPO-57 Hammer Forged/Casket Mag Icarus Lightweight/Rifled Barrel Recommendation: Roll 2 (If you have to burn the order.) Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Roll 1 looks better than it is, while Smallbore helps fix the 43’s Stability issue your magazine will be cut to 10 or less shots, & your reload will be Sniper slow. Roll 2 is stronger due to the penalty free Hammer Forged, the buff Zen Moment gives (helping with stability), Rifled Barrel hits the Range cap. So it’s a Sniper in Scout form, due to the insane distance the slow as molasses reload will be moot. Nothing should be/get near you when you use this SR. [b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Arc Aggressive Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch SPS/Speed Reload Surplus Javelin/Lightweight Roll 2: Arc Aggressive Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Vacuum Perfect Balance/Quickdraw Roll 3: Arc Aggressive Launch/Smart Drift Control/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Speed Reload Unflinching Javelin/Quickdraw Recommendation: Roll 1 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Roll 1 wins out due to the glory of Surplus. Which will double the Heavy Ammo you pick up, so you will have plenty of ammo for this. There are very few Arc RLs in the game, and NO Exotic Arc RLs so this is your best bet. However, Surplus comes in place of Tracking & Cluster Bomb. So if you want that “exotic” feel, & the reassurance that no Fallen, Vex, Taken, or Cabal will sidestep/dodge it. Hold onto that order. [b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b] [u]Ari-41[/u]: Order Low Impact, High Stability, Low Range, Mag = 32 Learning Curve: Novice This is a very good AF. Worth investing in, as it can match & surpass the Righteous VII & Genesis Chain (I am not joking on this one, takes a God Roll to surpass it.) [u]Tamar-D[/u]: 50/50 Low/Mid Impact, Mid Stability, High Range, Mag = 4 Learning Curve: Intermediate A decent Sniper, better for PVP than PVE but with the correct rolls it can be a reliable & stylish PVE sniper for all but Raids & Nightfalls. [u]PDX-41[/u]: 50/50 Mid-Impact, High Stability, Mid/High Range, Mag = 27 Learning Curve: Intermediate This is disgraced cousin of the PDX-45. It’s been slightly buffed so it’s not as horrid as it use to be, but the Rate of Fire may leave you wanting. [u]Gaheris-D[/u]: Order High Impact, High Stability, Low/Mid Range, Mag = 7 Learning Curve: Intermediate This is a Hidden Gem, it lacks just enough impact to 1 & 2 shot, but overall is reliable & versatile, it saw me through King’s Fall, it is only outclassed by the Judith-D & a near God/God Rolled Uffern HC4. [u]JLB-42[/u]: 50/50 High Blast Radius, High Velocity, Mid/High Stability, Mag = 2 This is slightly weaker than the JLB-47 in almost every stat. I would wait for a 47, BUT this is still a powerful placeholder. So ends another Armsday. D2 is still quite far off (I think it’s Fall or Winter of 2017) so we still have many Armsdays left. I hacked Banshee & asked SUROS where the PDX-45 orders went, & they ate a Twix in order to answer the question. I am still translating it. Maybe the conspiracies are true?! *Tin Foil Hat* Have a nice week! Guns Up Guardians!
