Incoming Shipments

#3 – Zarinaea-D| Auto Rifle

This gun already has awesome stability, so we’re going to want some range buffs before we bring it into PvP. Roll #3 offers Rangefinder and Smallbore, shoring up the gun’s lackluster range and adding a bit of stability at the cost of only three bullets in the magazine. Plus, Army of One can help get your ability cooldowns back in PvP and PvE.

#2? – Tuonela SR4 | Scout Rifle

There just isn’t a roll that we can say would be worth it here. Waiting another week allows you to choose from three new rolls, and given the poor choices here, we highly recommend waiting and hoping for better rolls next week. If you were to absolutely have to pick one, we’d recommend Rank 2’s roll, offering Army of One, Quickdraw and Triple Tap.

#2 – SUROS JLB-47 | Rocket Launcher

Yikes. There really isn’t much to see here either. Other than Rank 2’s Tripod offering, there aren’t any perks that stand out here. Considering last week’s choices included Grenades and Horseshoes as well as Javelin, this week is a letdown. We would recommend waiting until next week for a different roll or choosing Rank 2 for the convenience of 3 rockets per reload.

#3 – Strongbow-D | Shotgun

Although Rank 1 and Rank 2’s rolls include Rangefinder, Rank #3’s roll looks to be the most useful in PvE. Rangefinder is perfect for PvP, but the lack of base Impact and Range suit it better for lower-stakes PvE encounters, and Spray and Play can reload your magazine as fast as you emptied it to finish off that pesky major.

If you absolutely need something to use in PvP, Rank #2’s roll has Linear Compensator for a bit more Range and Impact, Danger Close for when you’re outnumbered, Rangefinder for a small range buff and Rifled Barrel for even more range.

#3 – Aoife Rua-D | Sniper Rifle

Rank #3’s roll offers Surplus and that offers more out of every ammo drop, and Spray and Play is the best way to get back to shooting after emptying your clip into a boss. Perfect Balance also shores up the stability. Arc damage will come in handy in lowering the shields of Taken Phalanxes.

What to Order Next Week?

Here are some comparisons/rundowns of stats on this week’s Foundry Orders. Read this if you’re unsure as to whether the gun will be something you’re used to. The perks next week may be different than the ones offered this week, so get a feel for the RoF/Impact model that you feel most comfortable with.

Arminius-D | Auto Rifle

This is a new offering which we aren’t terribly excited about. Think of a Nechrochasm or Atheon’s Epilogue but with low base stability and high base reload speed. There aren’t too many perks that can make these bullet hoses desirable, but we’ll see next week if there are enough perks offered to shore up the stability while providing some use in either PvE or PvP.

SUROS DIS-43 | Scout Rifle

This Scout Rifle falls in a Vision of Confluence archetype, and with a magazine size of 19, it should be great for PvE despite its stability issues (base 48). With its high range, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a situation where this Scout Rifle isn’t hitting for full damage.

Judith-D | Hand Cannon

I’ll order this simply because Hakke HC’s are sort of hard to come by, and this is the first time one has been offered for Armsday. Its archetype is similar to Timur’s Lash – it’s got the max Impact, also tied with The First Curse . However, the gun will be coming in with base 17 stability, 26 reload speed and a clip size of 7, so there are a lot of deficiencies that perks will need to fix.

Uffern HC4 | Hand Cannon

This Omolon handcannon, along with The Vanity from the Future War Cult, has a unique Impact archetype, falling right below the highest but still higher than the Hawkmoon and Fatebringer. The gun will probably look and feel nice due to Omolon’s design and the base stability of 70, but we’re seriously worried about the low base range of 24. Hopefully there will be some range perks offered next week.

Lyudmila-D | Pulse Rifle

We highly recommend placing a few orders for these! With a solid roll, this gun can be the next best thing to an Exotic primary in PvP. The Range is very high and the stability is low, so we’ll want to preserve the range while finding a perk that increases stability as much as possible. A reload perk like Feeding Frenzy would be icing on the cake!
