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!

  • I got the roll 3 for the Dis43 and can report that it's a beast. I have a max stability Dis43 also, from way back and confirm the added kick from this weeks offering is negligible and I'd strongly recommend it. The HCR seem to be working as intended and I had some good kill streaks with it last night. It's a very good counter for snipers, especially when paired with a SA when it gets up close and personnel. Enjoy and good luck.
