In the MMO shooter Destiny, Variks is selling the sniper rifle “Veilshadow” this week. Experts consider it a good weapon to learn sniping in PvP.
Among the new weapons in “House of Wolves,” expectations were generally higher. When you ask guardians about their favorites, they mention the Fatebringer from the base game or “Black Spindle” from the first DLC Crota’s End. Numerous other favorites can also be found among the “old” exotic weapons, while the three new ones have yet to shine.
Of the weapons from May, only the Vestian Dynasty has made a name for itself. Everyone received it after completing the first quest – and well, some shotguns like the Matador 46 are also well received.
However, because the properties and perks of each weapon can be re-rolled, much of the cult around the weapons has faded.
Variks has a sniper with training wheels
One of the “new” weapons dealers who has disappointed so far is Variks – the vendor for the Prison of Elders. This week he is selling a version of the sniper rifle “Veilshadow.” And it seems to be one of the better weapons, even though it can’t be re-rolled and has pretty bland stats.
Because: The weapon has solid base stats with high impact and relatively high rate of fire. And above all, it has a high hidden value in “Aim Assistance,” which is the aim help. Therefore, experts from Planet Destiny believe that this weapon is excellent for beginners in the Crucible.
Because this high “Aim Assistance” forgives inaccuracies when aiming and ensures that in the heat of battle, shots more often “hit the target,” meaning precision shots that would whiz past the opponent’s ear with other sniper rifles.
Our friend Nexxos is also positively impressed by the weapon and expected much less of it in the Crucible.
Both Nexxos and Planet Destiny recommend the Short View-SLH 10 scope in Column 1 and then either increased magazine size or improved stability in Column 3.
Conclusion: From the base stats, the weapon is ideal for the Crucible, but from the “properties,” the perks, unfortunately not. Nevertheless, it is a worthwhile and affordable investment for PvE players who have yet to try sniping in the Crucible. With this, hitting is truly easier. Variks is selling it until next Tuesday for a weapon core. You can get that in the Prison of Elders.
