Ahh! It’s Armsday!: 3/29/17 “Age of God Rolls”

It’s finally here, Destiny’s Final Update. Had you asked me back in HoW if I ever thought I’d be here to experience this...I would have said “No”. To celebrate the Patch I threw together an “Armsday Showcase” video. It just shows some of the awesome guns we’ve acquired through Armsday over the past few months. Seeing as this patch is refreshing/tipping its hat at Nostalgia... Let’s all make sure to give a shout out to: Dannycteris He was the original Armsday Recommendations guru & it was his posts that inspired me to tough out Armsday, eventually I got good guns & learned a lot from his guidance. So as this Patch is all about recognition & reflection on the past of Destiny. Let us not forget him. This edition of Ahh! It’s Armsday is dedicated to Dannycteris. _____ [b][u]Disclaimers:[/u][/b] All recommendations no matter how good or bad are still 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 the comments 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, S&P = Spray & Play SPS = Single Point Sling, HLS = Hand-Laid Stock, C&P = Close &/or Personal, SDC = Smart Drift Control [b][u]Omolon[/u][/b] [i]”Greetings, from Omolon! Omolon wishes to extend a big heart felt Thank You to all the Guardians who have made Omolon one of The Last City’s Top Selling Brands. Your *ahem* perfectly safe *ahem* Field Testing has made Omolon what it is today. To celebrate, Omolon is releasing a limited-edition line of Ammunition. The "Friends & Family" line! Omolon has painstakingly captured & juiced thousands of Fallen, Hive, Cabal, Taken, & we’ve even drained some Vex! Now you can shoot your enemies, with the compressed & concentrated remains of their own friends & loved ones. Now that’s what we call, Fighting Fire with Fire! Omolon! Dragging you kicking & screaming into an increasingly Homicidal & Genocidal Future!”[/i] [b][i][u]Uffern HC4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight Grenadier SPS/Oiled Frame Triple Tap/EotS Roll 2: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Truesight Grenadier SPS/Rifled Barrel Rescue Mag/EotS Roll 3: Fastdraw/Quickdraw/Sureshot Mulligan Extended Mag/Oiled Frame Triple Tap/EotS Recommendation: None / Roll 2 if you need to burn the package. Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Only get Roll 2 if you want to burn the package. I have nothing good to say about these rolls. [b][i][u]Cocytus SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Candle/Flash/Impulse Rescue Mag Snapshot/Casket Mag AoO/Surrounded Roll 2: Spark/Flash/Impulse Replenish Quickdraw/Feather Mag AoO/Surrounded Roll 3: Candle/Torch/Impulse Replenish Quickdraw/Smallbore Firefly/Danger Close Recommendation: None Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Another week of disappointment. Save that order for next week. This SR is worth the wait. [b][i][u]Tuonela SR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Spark/Torch/Impulse Triple Tap Extended Mag/Feather Mag Firefly/Danger Close Roll 2: Candle/Flash/Impulse Triple Tap Extended Mag/Smallbore Firefly/Underdog Roll 3: Spark/Flash/Impulse Life Support Snapshot/Feather Mag Firefly/Underdog Recommendation: Roll 1 [God Roll] Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem Where the Uffern & Cocytus fail, the Tuonela prevails! We have a God Roll people! (See Haunter, I said to wait!) Torch (The best Omolon Scope), Triple Tap (for Boss/Ultra DPS), Extended Mag (More Ammo), Firefly (To clear out crowds). This is a Blessing! The Tuonela is the best scout in the game impo. It’s very stable, hits hard enough, handles well. Redeem that order!! [b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Void Spark/Flash Grenadier Quickdraw/Injection Mold Unflinching/Danger Close Roll 2: Solar Candle/Flash Grenadier Lightweight/HLS Rangefinder/Danger Close Roll 3: Solar Spark/Flash Lightweight/Oiled Frame Unflinching/Surrounded Recommendation: Roll 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem or Save (If you desire a God Roll only) Roll 2 returns. The combo here is HLS & Rangefinder; together they create a stable FR that shoots at PR ranges. Rangefinder will offset the penalty of HLS. [b][u]Hakke[/u][/b] [i]”Evening Guardians, Mr. Hakke here. Now today us at Hakke want to give thanks to YOU! Yes, you! Today we celebrate you! Hell, even the Speaker did something he hasn’t done in years; he said something! Do you remember the last time he spoke? Hakke doesn’t remember. But this is all thanks you. Because you have reigned Triumphant over The Darkness, & even better you used Hakke to do it. To commemorate this occasion Hakke is re-releasing our Cryptoarchology Target Dummies. Now you can practice & test out your weapons by firing a Hakke brand Slug right between the eyes of Master Rahool, Master Ives, &/or Tyra Karn. Don’t be ashamed Guardians, we've all considered it at one point in time. Hakke! Just one round, takes em down!”[/i] [b][i][u]Strongbow-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Arc Smooth Ballistics/Aggressive Ballistics Crowd Control Hot Swap SPS/Hand Loaded/HLS Roll 2: Void CQB Ballistics/Linear Compensator Last Resort Hot Swap SPS/Fitted Stock/HLS Roll 3: Void Smooth Ballistics/Accurized Ballistics Crowd Control S&P SPS/Fitted Stock/Rifled Barrel Recommendation: Roll 3 [Demi-God Roll] Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem The Strongbow rarely rolls this good. Crowd Control + S&P is a godsend on a Shotgun, add in the blessing of Rifled Barrel & you have one hell of a gun. S&P will dramatically offset the Reload penalty of Rifled. Every kill will proc Crowd Control, so this gun will hurt people even more than it already does. Don’t pass this up. [b][i][u]Tamar-D[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Void ATB Long Range/ATD Raptor Outlaw Feeding Frenzy HCR/APR/Injection Mold Roll 2: Arc ATA Scout/ATD Raptor Outlaw Performance Bonus HCR/APR/Injection Mold Roll 3: ATB Long Range/ATD Raptor Private Eye Partial Refund HCR/APR/Injection Mold Recommendation: Roll 2 or Roll 1 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem (Save if you desire a better perk over Performance Bonus) Roll 2 stands out from the rest due to Performance Bonus. Basically every kill has a 25% to give you some ammo. This is compared to Roll 3’s Private Eye which is equivalent to giving yourself pink eye, & Roll 1’s amazing but redundant Feeding Frenzy. Roll 1 btw, is worth looking at as it will reload INSTANTLY off a Precision Kill. So choose between Ammo Return or Instant Reloads off Precision Kills. [b][u]Suros[/u][/b] [i]”Gratifying. Satisfying. Pleasing. Euphoric. Intoxicating. Fulfilling. Loaded. Charged. SUROS.”[/i] [b][i][u]DIS-43[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-28/SPO-57 HCR/Feather Mag Rangefinder Speed Reload/Smallbore Roll 2: SLO-19/SPO-28/SPO-57 Fitted Stock/Oiled Frame Unflinching Lightweight/Reinforced Barrel Roll 3: SLO-19/SPO-28/SPO-37 Perfect Balance/Casket Mag Rangefinder Lightweight/HLS Recommendation: Roll 3 [God Roll] Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem Roll 3 isn’t the Full Auto God Roll, but it’s a God Roll in it’s own right. Roll 3 offers: SPO-28 (Suros’ best scope) + Nigh Max Stability (Perfect Balance + HLS) + Rangefinder (Which negates & overtakes the HLS penalty). You can even swap to Casket Mag when you need some extra shots as well. Talk about convenient! [b][i][u]PDX-41[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: SLO-19/SPO-28/SPO-57 HCR/Appended Magazine Hidden Hand Lightweight/Injection Mold Roll 2: SLO-19/SPO-26/SPO-57 Perfect Balance/Feather Mag Counterbalance SPS/Injection Mold Roll 3: SLO-19/SPO-26/SPO-57 Fitted Stock/Appended Magazine Hidden Hand SPS/Reinforced Barrel Recommendation: Roll 2 Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save or Redeem Roll 2 wins out due to Perfect Balance + Counterbalance. This is a hard hitting, medium/fast firing PR that will barely move & when it does recoil it’ll be up & down only. Injection will further help the stability, at the cost of some range. [b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b] Roll 1: Arc Aggressive Launch/SDC/Hard Launch Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell Tracking Javelin/Snapshot Roll 2: Arc Aggressive Launch/SDC/Hard Launch SPS/Speed Reload Cluster Bomb Javelin/Lightweight Roll 3: Solar Confined Launch/SDC/Countermass SPS/Flared Magwell Vacuum Perfect Balance/Quickdraw Recommendation: Roll 1 [God Roll] Redeem/Save/Reorder: Reorder Roll 1 is the RL many people have been waiting for. A God Roll Tracking Arc RL! Heavy Payload + Javelin basically cap Blast Radius & Velocity, Tracking so you won’t miss. The only thing that holds it back is that it is missing Warhead Verniers, but Hard Launch is a nice substitute. You can reorder this RL this week. I suggest you reorder! [b][i][u]Next Week’s Orders[/u][/i][/b] (LC = Learning Curve) [u]Ari-45[/u]: 50/50 Impact = 28/Range = 48/Stability = 44/Mag = 50/LC = Intermediate [u]Tuonela SR4[/u]: Order Impact = 48/Range = 62/Stability = 69/Mag = 13/LC = Novice [u]Kumakatok HC4[/u]: Pass Impact = 68/Range = 15/Stability = 60/Mag = 9/LC = Novice [u]Herja-D[/u]: Order Impact = 14/Range = 33/Stability = 72/Mag = 33/ LC = Novice [u]JLB-47[/u]: Order Velocity = 74/Blast = 84/Mag = 2/LC = Novice That’s it for this awesome week! Enjoy Age of Triumph, & if your god roll didn’t drop this week. I hope you get it soon. Remember we have a few months until Destiny 2, so might as well do what you can to go out with a bang!

  • Credit: Duetschrider [quote]Roll 1: Sights: GA Post, LD Watchdog Partial Refund Feeding Frenzy Single Point Sling/Fitted Stock/Smallbore Roll 2: Sights: SC Holo, SD Thermal Surrounded Counterbalance Snapshot/Hand Loaded/Smallbore Roll 3: Sights: GA Post, LB Assault Last Resort Glass Half Full Snapshot/Speed Reload/Smallbore[/quote] Recommendation: Roll 2 (If you want to burn the order) Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save Roll 2 was so close... If only we had a better perk than Surrounded. Counterbalance + Braced Frame is a godsend on the Arminius. Makes it very stable & easy to control. Due to the close range nature of AFs Surrounded isn't bad but it could be better. Crowd Control, or even Glass Half Full would be better than surrounded. The rolls are improving. Wait till next week.
