The Best Rolls for Lotus-Eater
Let’s break down the god rolls for both PvE and PvP, factoring in synergy, utility, and raw performance.
PvE God Roll: The Add-Clearing Machine
- Barrell: Corkscrew or Arrowhead Brake Corkscrew for overall stat balance and rifling arrowhead for recoil control
- Magazine: Appended Mag or Tactical Mag
Added for additional shots; tactical for stability and reload. - Benefit 1: Quick Hit or Shoot for Loot
While Shoot to Loot allows for quick utility in high-end content Rapid Hit provides burst reload and stability. - Perk 2: Frenzy or Explosive Payload
Explosive Payload is excellent for both PvE and PvP because it increases flinch and splash damage. In prolonged battles Frenzy provides extra handling and damage. - Masterpiece: Reload Stability or Speed
- Mod: Backup Mag/Minor Spec
Why it Works: Explosive Payload paired with Rapid Hit is an exceptional combo for PvE—great for Grandmasters, strikes, and patrols alike. Add in Shoot to Loot, and it can combo with healing grenades, Orbs, or ammo bricks.
PvP God Roll: The Duelist’s Delight
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
Both push out the range—vital in scout vs. scout engagements. - Perk 1: Moving Target or Perpetual Motion
Moving Target gives aim assist and strafe speed—godly for scouts. Perpetual Motion buffs stability and handling on the move. - Perk 2: Kill Clip or Explosive Payload
Kill Clip gives one-tap potential after a kill; Explosive Payload messes with your enemy’s aim. - Masterwork: Range
- Mod: Icarus Grip (if you’re jumping a lot) or Counterbalance Stock
Why it Works: With Kill Clip active, Lotus-Eater becomes an absolute menace in 6s or Trials. Explosive Payload adds flinch, making it harder for enemies to retaliate. The lightweight frame keeps you mobile and hard to track.
