Incoming Shipments

#1 or #3 – SUROS DIS-47

1. Perfect Balance/Feather Mag | Rodeo | Lightweight/Injection Mold
2. High Caliber Rounds/Appended Magazine | Hip Fire | Lightweight/Smallbore
3. High Caliber Rounds/Oiled Frame | Rodeo | Speed Reload/Smallbore

The DIS-47 has such great potential, so why waste it on these bad rolls this week? Perks like Rodeo and Hip Fire won’t make a big enough difference to make this gun stand out for you, so we’d recommend you wait until next week and try for better rolls. What to look for? Well, it depends on what you want to do. Full Auto is great for both PvE and PvP. Hidden Hand is a great perk for PvP, while the likes of Spray and Play and Outlaw dominate the PvE landscape. See if you can also get some more range and stability from Hammer Forged, Perfect Balance or Fitted Stock. Then, look for min/max perks like Hand-Laid Stock for the ultimate roll!

#2 – Uffern HC4

• Mulligan, Reinforced Barrel/Extended Mag, Life Support/Eye of the Storm

Omolon Hand Cannons have been disappointing throughout The Taken King, but this week’s roll offers you a few options for both PvE and PvP. For PvP, go with Reinforced Barrel and Eye of the Storm. Both of these perks work to improve range and accuracy, helping make sure your bullets will hit where you want them to hit. As for PvE, Extended Mag and Life Support aren’t bad options. The extra ammo capacity is always convenient for taking out trash mobs, and Life Support might just save you with instant health regeeration in the middle of a boss fight.

#1? – Strongbow-D

1. Solar | Close and/or Personal – Kneepads – Flared Magwell | Perfect Balance | Hand-Laid Stock
2. Arc | Last Resort – Hot Swap – Lightweight | Hand Loaded | Hand Laid Stock
3. Solar | Crowd Control – Hot Swap – Lightweight | Perfect Balance | Hand-Laid Stock

Okay, so maybe we’ll never be happy with the Strongbow-D, but that doesn’t mean we’re willing to settle on bad rolls. There’s too much focus on stability with this week’s choices, so if you want something worthwhile, wait until next week. The perks you’re looking for include Rifled Barrel for increased range, Accurized Ballistics for more impact and either something to help reloading in PvE or Rangefinder for PvP.

#1 – Uzume RR4

• Performance Bonus, Lightweight, Eye of the Storm

There are a lot of bad rolls today, so we’re really stretching to find something useful. None of the rolls for the Uzume are very good, but at the very least, Roll #1 offers us some ammo efficiency with Performance Bonus and a low-zoom scope. Eye of the Storm may help stay on target while under fire in PvP and Lightweight is a simple bonus to Agility. This isn’t the worst roll, but if you’re itching for a low-impact sniper that works in 6v6 PvP, you should wait until better perks are available. Make sure you get the low-zoom Faucon SS1 as well as Injection Mold for superior handling.

None – Aoife Rua-D

1. Rodeo | Guerilla Fighter | Explosive Rounds / Quickdraw / Appended Mag
2. Take a Knee | Zen Moment | Explosive Rounds / Snapshot / Braced Frame
3. Rodeo | Partial Refund | Explosive Rounds / Snapshot / Braced Frame

To round out an overall disappointing week for the Gunsmith, we’d also recommend you pass on the Aoife Rua-D until more rolls are available. If you’re not getting Surplus from your Hakke Sniper Rifles, you’re pretty much wasting your time. This archetype will never outperform a 1000-Yard Stare in PvP, so you’ll need a PvE roll to stand out. A great roll would be Surplus and Spray and Play combined with Perfect Balance. That way, you’d have ammo economy boosted, save time reloading for more DPS and have an easier time staying on target.

Next Week’s Orders

Weapon	Type	Impact	Notable Stat
SUROS DIS-47	Scout Rifle	Lowest	AA (74)
Uffern HC4	Hand Cannon	Medium-High	Stability (70)
Arminius-D	Auto Rifle	Lowest	AA (80)
Lyudmila-D	Pulse Rifle	Highest	Range (63)
SUROS PDX-45	Pulse Rifle	Low	Reload (90)

SUROS DIS-47

Hopefully we get a bit luckier with some of the rolls next week, especially with this gun. If you get a good roll on this low-impact Scout Rifle, it can be a monster in both PvE and PvP. It also has good aim assistance, so it has huge potential in the Crucible, but we’ll be hoping for stability buffs to keep its quick shooting on target. We’d highly recommend ordering this gun, because if it rolls with Full Auto next week, you won’t want to miss out on it!

Arminius-D

For this gun, think of a Nechrochasm or Atheon’s Epilogue but with low base stability and high base reload speed. With its stat blend, this gun will need a lot of help to be competitive, 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.

Lyudmila-D

Hakke pulse rifles have taken a hit in recent balancing updates, but this is still Hakke’s highest impact model. With a solid roll, this gun can still do some work in PvP as a legendary primary. It has base range of 63 and stability of 54, so we’ll want to preserve the range while increasing stability to laser-like levels, and a reload perk like Feeding Frenzy would be icing on the cake. Counterbalance is going to be the key, as Hakke Pulse Rifles have an awkward recoil pattern that needs to be corrected for maximum accuracy.

Uffern HC4

This Omolon Hand Cannon, along with The Vanity from the Future War Cult, has a unique impact archetype, 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 are some range perks offered next week.

SUROS PDX-45

This gun falls in the same impact category as the Crucible Quartermaster’s Hawksaw but with more stability, reload and aim assistance. This is always a must-order for next week. There are a number of perk combinations that will work for this gun, but we’ll also be looking for a good scope. The gun has 22 base range, so we’ll definitely need a fix, but if we get a good roll next week, you can expect to see this gun everywhere in PvE and PvP alike.
