Watchful Eye: Optimal PvE Roll
For the Arc Aggressive Frame Machine Gun, "Watchful Eye," the following god roll is recommended for general PvE content, emphasizing strong Arc 3.0 synergy and efficient add-clear, along with solid uptime.
Primary God Roll Recommendation:
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Perk 1 (Column 3): Field Prep
- Perk 2 (Column 4): Voltshot
Perk Analysis:
Arrowhead Brake is paramount for an Aggressive Frame Machine Gun. It significantly improves recoil control, making sustained fire more accurate, and also provides a welcome handling boost.
Tactical Mag offers a well-rounded set of benefits: increased magazine size, faster reload speed, and improved stability. This helps in maintaining damage output and reducing downtime.
Field Prep provides two key advantages for a heavy weapon like Watchful Eye. Firstly, it increases total ammunition reserves, allowing for more sustained use. Secondly, it grants a substantially faster reload speed when crouching, which is easy to activate and synergizes perfectly with the need to reload to proc Voltshot.
Voltshot is the cornerstone of this roll for Arc builds. After securing a kill and then reloading, your next shot will Jolt the target. This provides excellent area-of-effect damage, stuns Overload Champions (when Arc is featured), and integrates seamlessly with Arc 3.0 subclass abilities and fragments for enhanced add-clear and elemental effects.
Alternative Perks for Single-Target Damage (DPS):
If your priority is maximizing damage against bosses, champions, or other high-health single targets, consider these alternatives:
- Perk 1 (Column 3): Rewind Rounds or Fourth Time's the Charm
- Rewind Rounds: Refills the magazine from reserves based on the number of hits, excellent for sustained fire.
- Fourth Time's the Charm: Landing four precision hits returns two rounds to the magazine, rewarding accuracy.
- Perk 2 (Column 4): Target Lock or Bait and Switch
- Target Lock: Damage increases the longer the weapon remains on a single target, ideal for burning down tough enemies.
- Bait and Switch: Dealing damage with all three equipped weapons grants a significant damage buff for a short duration.
This alternative configuration shifts the weapon's focus from Arc-empowered ad control to pure, sustained damage output, potentially sacrificing some of the Arc synergy for higher numbers against robust targets.
