"It's not over yet!"
This may seem blasphemous for me to do this, but I just can't let this end yet. I will take it upon myself to pick up where Aerikx and Haunter have left off. I'll even try to continue after D2 releases. I may not have used every gun that Banshee has sold, but I have experience with a few. I'll try to make my own personal recommendations for rolls I think would be good for pvp/pve

[i]Pdx-45[/i]
Roll 1:
Rodeo
SLO 19, SPO 26, SRO 37
Hammer forged, feather mag
Lightweight, hand laid stock
Roll 2:
Rangefinder
SLO 19, SPO 26, SRO 37
High cal rounds, appended mag
Lightweight, rifled barrel
Roll 3:
Unflinching
SLO 19, SPO 26, SRO 37
Fitted stock, feather mag
Speed reload, smallbore
Recommendation: Roll 2. If you give up, and just want a solid pulse rifle, this would be it. Seems better suited for pvp. Rangefinder and rifled give a huge range bonus, and high cal rounds make enemies flinch. The elusive 'god roll' would be: perfect balance, counterbalance, rifled barrel
[i]Ari-45[/i]
Roll 1:
Focused fire
SLO 12, SPO 28, SRO 37
Hammer forged, feather mag
Speed reload, rifled barrel
Roll 2:
Unflinching
SLO 12, SPO 26, SPO 57
Fitted stock, casket mag
Single point sling, rifled barrel
Roll 3:
Glass half full
SLO 12, SPO 26, SPO 57
Perfect balance, oiled frame
Snapshot, hand laid stock
Recommendation: Roll 1 or 3. Roll 1 is literally the genesis chain, but with more range due to rifled barrel. Roll 3 gives max or near max stability with bonus damage for half the mag. Pretty solid for both pvp/pve. Can be reordered this week

[i]Arminius-D[/i]
Roll 1:
Army of one, glass half full
GB iron, LB assault
High cal rounds, speed reload, smallbore
Roll 2:
Danger close, rangefinder
GA post, LC ranged
Single point sling, fitted stock, smallbore
Roll 3:
Crowd control, glass half full
GB iron, LD watchdog
High cal rounds, speed reload, braced frame
Recommendation: none. Counterbalance + braced frame or begone from me, heathen
[i]Gaheris-D[/i]
Roll 1:
Danger close, final round
Truesight, steadyhand
Speed reload, armor piercing rounds, oiled frame
Roll 2:
Relentless tracker, spray and play
Quickdraw, sureshot
Hand loaded, explosive rounds, reinforced barrel
Roll 3:
Danger close, who's next
Quickdraw, sureshot
Snapshot, explosive rounds, smallbore
Recommendation: I've never used this gun, but judging from the stats, it looks like this gun needs a lot of range and a reload perk would be nice. Personally, I'd go with roll 2 for the reload perk and for the choice of reinforced barrel or explosive rounds
[b][u]Omolon[/u][/b]
[i]Kumakatok HC4[/i]
Roll 1:
Luck in the chamber
Fastdraw, quickdraw, truesight
Lightweight, injection mold
Outlaw, eye of the storm
Roll 2:
Luck in the chamber
Fastdraw, quickdraw, truesight
Lightweight, braced frame
Firefly, eye of the storm
Roll 3:
Army of one
Fastdraw, steadyhand, sureshot
Extended mag, rifled barrel
Outlaw, eye of the storm
Recommendation: Never used this gun but roll 3 looks like a god roll. You'll get faster melee and grenade recharge on every kill, and outlaw negates the effect of the reload penalty. Solid for both pvp/pve
[i]Cocytus SR4[/i]
Roll 1:
Triple tap
Spark IS6, torch HS2, impulse MS2
Single point sling, smallbore
Firefly, underdog
Roll 2:
Life support
Candle IS2, torch HS2, signal MS5
Lightweight, rifled barrel
Army of one, underdog
Roll 3:
Icarus
Spark IS6, flash HS4, impulse MS2
Extended mag, hand laid stock
Third eye, danger close
Recommendation: roll 1 is almost a perfect roll. this is my preferred scout rifle and therefore, 2 personal 'god rolls' with triple tap, extended mag, firefly or life support, extended mag, firefly. Can be reordered this week

Well, this is my attempt at keeping this alive. Hopefully I was a little helpful and you all aren't too mad at me for it

Good stuff from Omolon and Suros these will shread stuff, not so good for Hakke (hopefully D2 get Hakke some new guns and perks). Thank you for the weekly Armsday info.
