For PVE, suggested perks include explosive payload paired with kinetic trimmers or other options like shoot the loot or frenzy, noting the preferred double explosion effect. The discussion then shifts to week three’s highlighted weapons, particularly emphasizing the Hammerhead machine gun. The speaker praises its versatility and potential as an ad-clearing machine with combinations such as Onslaught and Rampage.

For PvE players, experiencing its power is recommended before the nerf, while PvP players are advised to use Explosive Personality instead. Lastly, the speaker covers the Blast Furnace, a pulse rifle with impressive range and stability. Notable combinations include Headseeker with Kill Clip or Rapid Hit, making it highly effective for both PvP and PvE. The weapon’s range can reach over 40 meters, and it features kinetic trimmers and frenzy for PvE scenarios.
00:27:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the advantages of using kinetic weapons, particularly highlighting “kinetic trimmers” as a key perk.

The speaker then focuses on the reworked Luna’s Howl, now featuring the “magnificent howl” perk. This weapon is a Precision frame hand cannon with a rate of 140 rounds per minute, and it’s discussed in both PvE and PvP contexts.

Additionally, the speaker mentions planning to test out the combination of these perks and express an interest in exploring how slide shot can enhance the weapon’s performance. They conclude with a note on upcoming reviews of what they consider “God rolls” for various weapons and encourage viewers to comment on missed options for future individual reviews.
