Key Takeaways:

  • The Compass Rose shotgun has received a perk pool refresh, making it a must-have for PvP players.
  • The unnamed bow introduces destabilizing rounds for potential PvE Champion handling.
  • Something New hand cannon offers a unique perk combination of snapshot and precision instrument.
  • The Crowning Duog rocket launcher now rivals the popular Apex Predator with its reconstruction and bait and switch perks.

The Compass Rose Shotgun: A PvP Game Changer

In Fallout Plays, we’re thrilled to showcase the long-desired dual ability of the Compass Rose shotgun: Threat Detector and Opening Shot. This combo has been a key feature of top-tier PVP shotguns, and now, the Compass Rose can leverage it too. Moreover, the swift draw Opening Shot combination provides an appealing choice for players seeking improved handling. In comparison with the cherished Matador 64, Fallout Plays concludes that these two shotguns share comparable stats, positioning the Compass Rose as a strong competitor in PVP.

The Unnamed Bow: Potential in Both PvE and PvP

Although not all players prefer bows in player versus player situations, the unnamed bow comes with unique advantages. The hipfire grip and archer’s gambit enable a combination of perks usually limited to the hush bow. Additionally, Fallout Plays recommends experimenting with the loose change perk, which could prove potent when paired with elemental enhancements. In player versus environment scenarios, the destabilizing rounds perk adds flexibility to the bow, particularly for void and prismatic setups.

Something New Hand Cannon: A Unique PvP Option

The “Something New” revolver boasts a unique perk pairing: Snapshot Sight and Precision Frame. This combo isn’t found on any other revolver in the game, making it a top pick for PvP players. On Fallout Plays, they highlight the advantage of the Precision Frame, as it lessens damage falloff and allows for three-shot kills at longer ranges. To make it even more appealing, it comes with an Origin Trait, Nader Focus, which boosts its range and accuracy.

The Crowning Duog Rocket Launcher: A Viable PvE Option

As a gamer, I’ve found that the Crowning Duo rocket launcher isn’t typically the go-to choice in PvE, but let me tell you, it shines with its reconstruction and bait and switch perks. These features make it quite comparable to the popular Apex Predator Launcher, albeit with slightly less damage due to its precision frame. However, what sets the Crowning Duo apart is the air trigger perk, which gives a massive reload speed boost without needing a kill. While Fallout Plays understands that this perk might pose some challenges in team scenarios, I’m excited to test its effectiveness and see how it performs.
