Unleash Chaos: The New Destiny 2 SMG That Dominates PvP with Hip-Fire Fury!

by

In Destiny 2‘s gaming world, the Boondoggle MK. 55, a fresh addition to the submachine gun category, is proving to be an absolute blast to wield during player versus player (PvP) battles. It may not yet dominate the meta, but it certainly brings a lot of enjoyment to its users.

Labeled as the “Famed Huckleberry,” this firearm, specifically a Kinetic Submachine Gun, draws inspiration from the design of its Exotic counterpart. The anticipation within the community was high initially, but the unveiling of its ordinary perk set unfortunately diminished the excitement it had previously generated.

Compared to rivals such as Multimach CCX, the Boondoggle MK. 55 stands out less in terms of being an exceptional PvE weapon, but don’t dismiss it altogether. In fact, there are PvP configurations that offer as much enjoyment and competitiveness as any other.

Boondoggle MK. 55 god roll – Meta analysis

  • Barrel: Chambered Compensator
  • Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
  • Perk 1: Hip-Fire Grip
  • Perk 2: Offhand Strike
  • Origin Trait: Tex Balanced Strike
  • Masterwork: Stability
  • Weapon Mod: Ballistics

The Mark 55 Boondoggle stands out as an exceptional weapon for quick-aim shooting, effortlessly striking down enemy Guardians without the need for aiming down sights. This remarkable performance is due to the potent perk pairing of Hip-Fire Grip and Offhand Strike, which enhance accuracy, stability, and range when firing from a hip-shot.

In a unique turn of events, this SMG is not just the initial one to secure this particular role, but Boondoggle’s Origin Trait creates an exceptional harmony with these advantages. Upon firing enemies from the hip, the Tex Balanced Stock becomes active, boosting aiming speed, reload rate, and movement swiftness while taking a aimed shot.

The game strategy involves quickly landing a hip-fire shot to eliminate opponents first, then adjusting aim to finish off any remaining ones with the long-range advantage provided by the Boondoggle MK. 55. With an incredibly fast Time-to-Kill of only 750 ms, this weapon outperforms many other primary weapons, ensuring your dominance once you’ve set up accordingly.

It’s true that one major factor keeping this gun from being popular in PvP is its need for setup before it can reach its full potential. Compared to widely-used SMGs like The Immortal and Unending Tempest, the effort required often isn’t worth the return. However, there’s no denying that using this gun can be a blast, making it an appealing choice for those seeking something unique.

How to get Boondoggle Mk. 55

The Boondoggle Mk. 55 is a weapon that can appear anywhere in the world, which you can obtain by deciphering Legendary Engrams from various activities.

Instead of depending solely on this method, which can be random, it’s wiser to tackle either Expert or Master difficulty Lost Sectors whenever Boondoggle Mk. 55 is in rotation. You can consult the complete schedule to learn when the Kinetic SMG will appear next.

Another approach could be: “You might also decide to drop by Eido in The Last City and meet her daily Tonic Requests. This action grants you random items, among them World Drop weapons. Even though it’s not guaranteed to get the specific roll you desire, it can still be beneficial if you have a plentiful supply of Reagents or are attempting to collect multiple World Drop weapons at once.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience, but it seems neither the World Drop nor the Heresy weapons are available from the Tome of Want or the Enriching Tonics this season. The strategies we’ve previously discussed remain your best options then.
