In other words the spread is tight enough for you to consistently hit your target, but this isn't your sweet spot. You keep you bullets and you keep your range, but without the scope stability, you will find that you will lose to guardians with better grasps even if your gun skill may be slightly better.īecause of the reduced range, you engagements at longer range are likely to hit due to the small pellet spread, but not with enough damage to kill someone before they get to cover (think shooting across the bridge on frontier on B side or shooting from door to end of the mowhak towards outside heavy on bannerfall). If you don't have a high stability scope to go with it, I would recommend you keep farming.

PB works well with counter balance or range finder if you have a high stability scope. With the grasp, you want to use the aim assist to keep your shots on the head level for all 3 to 4 bursts to kill so having a tight and consistent spread is most valuable. Without them, you may find that your shots start on target (neck level to use the aim assist) and then fall off target (thereby killing your optimal ttk). If you have smallbore, then you basically need counterbalance and a scope with max stability (think red dot oas). What makes the various options viable are the first column perks and the scopes. Perfect balance, hand laid stock, braced frame and small bore are all viable options (fitted stock. Let me preface this by saying that I have used the gun a lot. In the last column, I prefer Glass Half Full, but Third Eye probably has the most utility for PvP. Smallbore is a great perk as well, pushing both the Range and Stability up a bit, and Counterbalance, even with the nerf, still helps a lot. Rangefinder and Perfect Balance is probably my favorite option, as you'll have a tight recoil pattern (even with the sideways movement) and excellent Range, which as we learned this week affects damage and AA drop off. Any combination of Rangefinder or Counterbalance and Perfect Balance of Smallbore will be great, but you may have to slightly change your engagement style depending on how much Range you get out of the rolls. Red Dot-OAS helps to increase the Aim Assist, but this gun doesn't actually need it, so if you have a sight you like, you'll be good to go. Column 4 - Third Eye, Glass Half Full, Grenadier, Army of One.Column 3 - Braced Frame/Smallbore/Perfect Balance, Hand Loaded, Fitted Stock.Column 2 - Counterbalance/Rangefinder, Headseeker, Life Support, Eye of the Storm.Column 1 - Red Dot-OAS, Red Dot-ORS1, Red Dot-ORES.Impact: 4 (23 damage per crit shot, 16 damage per body shot).Very high Aim Assist.Ĭons - Low Range and Stability. Grasp of Malok - Available from the Will of Crota Strike as a random drop.

Top Edit: I thought Braced Frame dropped the Mag Size to 24, so I left it off the recommended perks list, but apparently it goes to 27, so I added it on.
