Seventh Seraph Carbine

For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.

The Seventh Seraph Carbine (SSC) is a 450 RPM Precision Frame Kinetic Auto Rifle. Let’s start with a quick comparison to randomly-rolled 450s, over on light.gg. In general the 450s are fairly the same stat-wise, with a material deviation in Aim Assist for the SSC; easily addressable with an Aim Assist mod.

PvP Thoughts#

I personally love ARs, so I played with a zero-Recoil, high Stability roll for several Iron Banner games, with both Targeting and Unflinching mods equippted. I immediately wanted to go back to using my 600 RPM AR with Moving Target and Tap the Trigger :) The Carbine, any any 450 RPM AR, feels a bit slower than the pace of Crucible (YMMV).

If you’re a fan of ARs or even just the SSC itself, why not pick one up and vault it just in case the meta changes? Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• The lower the RPM the higher the range, and falloff for a base range SSC starts ~30m which is quite far in-game; probably at the maximum range you’d choose to engage with an Auto Rifle anyway.
• I’m passing on Threat Detector for PvP because at 15m, you’re going to feel like switching to your special weapon.
• With a base Recoil of 74, you’re fine there. I shot a few magazines into a wall with 100 and the pattern was the same. Do not put on a Counterbalance mod or else you’ll ruin the recoil pattern.

Here’s a few rolls worth considering that you can put to work today!

PvE Thoughts#

I always suggest picking up at least one good PvE roll of any weapon that can generate Warmind Cells, including this one.

🐴 Cavalry (pvp)#

Slideshot paired with either Moving Target or Rangefinder is buffing so much of what this Auto Rifle needs help with: Stability and AA. Elemental Capacitor?! Yes - it now gets a Recoil and ADS mobility bonus if you use Stasis.

🧈🍊 Butter and Citrus Bar Shredder (pve)#
