Suros ARI-45

Suros ARI-45

This is a slower rate of fire/medium impact auto rifle. It was offered in Weeks Two, Three and Four. For me, personally, I have grown to really like this archetype a feels to be the most balanced out of all the different archetypes of autos in the game. You can take this archetype anywhere and just go to town. The base range of the weapon is really good, which makes it even better. Something I recently noticed and found pretty interesting is the ARI-45 has slightly better base stats when compared to the Year Two Suros… Go Figure that!

  • Rate of Fire — 77
  • Impact — 28
  • Range — 48 24/64
  • Stability — 44 10/98
  • Reload — 52 30/87
  • Aim Assist — 54 54/59
  • Equip Speed — 41 36/91
  • Recoil Direct — 60
  • Zoom — 15 15/20
  • Magazine Size — 50 32/62

I really don’t know what to say about this weapon, other than — If you like the Suros 2.0, you will really like this. If you like auto rifles, you will like this. There really isn’t much to not like. Get it! Since the base stats are pretty good, I would massage stability on this one. Giving up a little here or there is not going to make this weapon unusable. There is plenty of room to play, which makes it even better.

Suros DIS-43

Suros DIS-43

The Suros DIS-43 is a medium rate of fire/medium impact scout rifle. It has plenty of competition, given that some of the most beloved and hunted scouts in the game are in this same archetype. It was sold last week, as well as in Week 2 of Arms Day. If you want to see some comparisons, you can checkout my Arms Days reviews from that write up. Solid weapon overall. Pick one up if you don’t have one. I think you will like it a lot.

  • Rate of Fire — 37
  • Impact — 48
  • Range — 77 53/100
  • Stability — 48 15/99
  • Reload — 45 30/80
  • Aim Assist — 61 61/66
  • Equip Speed — 39 34/89
  • Recoil Direction — 80
  • Zoom — 20 20/25
  • Mag size — 19 13/23

Hakke Gaheris-D

Hakke Gaheris-D

This Hakke hand cannon is in the same archetype with legends such as, Hawkmoon, Byronic Hero and the new hunter exclusive Ace of Spades. It is a slow firing, hard hitting beast. But, there is one very major problem with this weapon and it can be summed up in one word: Ammo. Or actually, the lack of it. All Hakke hand cannon come standard with only 7 rounds. Honestly, that is just not enough to make this thing viable for really anything.

  • Rate of Fire — 22
  • Impact — 81 81/82
  • Range — 23 11/47
  • Stability — 56 36/76
  • Reload — 41 34/70
  • Magazine Size — 7 6/7
  • Aim Assist — 80 80/85
  • Equip Speed — 65 60/80
  • Recoil Direction — 90
  • Zoom — 15

Hakke Lyudlima-D

Hakke Lyudlima-D

The Lyudmila-D is a slow firing, high impact pulse rifle. It is of the same archetype as some famous head spliters, such as The Messenger, Three Little Words and Spare Change.25. This archetype pulse is a great mid-range weapon to use in the Crucible. It can two shot a Guardian, within range, no matter what.

  • Rate of fire — 59
  • Impact — 30
  • Range — 63 51/75
  • Stability — 54 40/82
  • Reload — 51 37/79
  • Magazine — 33
  • Aim assistance — 30 30/35
  • Equip Speed — 25 20/75
  • Recoil direction — 70
  • Zoom — 17 17/24

What sets this weapon apart from it’s formidable predecessors? Not a whole lot. For a lot of people that love this archetype pulse rifle, that is a good thing. The closest match to this monster is The Messenger. It has the same range and stability as Sparechange.25. It has a slower base reload than any of the others and that might be the only thing that it has going to against it. Nothing that a good pair of gloves can’t fix. Although this may not be a PvE master, it will reck — in the right hands of a faithful Crucible player.

Hakke Strongbow-D

Hakke Strongbow-D

This Hakke shotgun is a medium rate of fire, medium impact shotgun that has some love and dislike throughout the community. It is in the same archetype as Hard Luck Charm, Hide and Seek-42 and The Comedian. It is the exact same weapons as The Next Big Thing and Dead Orbits Patch-A. Each has slightly different stats, of course. If you have not laid your hands on either of these weapons - to give you an idea of how this weapon handles and feels, look no further than the test weapon that you have gotten to kill Hive with. If you like that weapon, then you will like this one. It is very viable in PvE, so if you are looking for a decent shotgun there then pick this up.

  • Rate of Fire — 23
  • Impact — 50 50/55
  • Range — 10 2/25
  • Stability — 56 44/100
  • Reload — 33 19/60
  • Magazine Size — 5
  • Aim Assist — 55 40/65
  • Equip Speed — 58
  • Recoil Direction — 60
  • Zoom — 12

Conclusion

That’s Arms Day Week 7! Some good new repeats and a new weapon. Not bad, overall. Looking forward to picking up my orders today and looking forward to placing my orders this weekend. Yes, I always wait until the last minute to place my orders simply because I do not want those packages taking up space in the characters slots. Until next time, Eyes up!
