The SI-2 is a 360 RPM Lightweight Frame Arc Sidearm, initially appearing during Season 10.

PvP Thoughts#

TrueVanguard, who absolutely loves the Anonymous Autumn (with over 14,000 kills) depicts the SI-2 as situational, relying primarily on Vorpal to justify using it. Check out his thoughts. If you are going to consider the SI-2 for PvP, a few things to keep in mind. The recoil direction is 95, so no need to worry about straightening it out. It doesn’t have great Range and there’s no escaping that. You can dump all of your options into Range and you’re going to extend the ADS dropoff by a whopping +0.5m. I would suggest looking for high-Stability options.

PvE Thoughts#

Like all other Seraph weapons, the SI-2 contributes to the generation of Warmind cells in PvE. Since it also comes up in the Seasonal artifact as a Champion-stunner, it’s perhaps a good idea to keep a decent roll around.

🥶 Ice Chips (pvp)#

Paired with Stasis or Void, Elemental Capacitor is going to do wonders for this roll. Your engagements will be juuust around/within the range of Threat Detector, which buffs Stability and Handling as well.
