That works too, I’ve always just had a preference for skewing my damage towards headshots with Deadhead, and like the -recoil from it. I also have a tendency to aim by the colour of my crits just due to how often I play Harrow and how Covenant works.
The ammo efficiency from Crux is still nice if they don’t mind the recoil/using a mod slot to reduce it.
I like the Tenet Flux Rifle, it has low recoil, and no impact so I don’t have to worry about enemies’ heads flailing around as much when going for head shots.
The Ax-52 is also pretty good once Biotic Rounds is activated, and the headshots have increased critical chance if you’re aiming down sights. It does feel like this weapon needs to reload frequently though.
Just wanted to add that it feels like Evade needs a lot of duration for it to feel like it can be maintained.
Temple is fun to play but I do think the UI could have been a little better. Kind of a me problem though because I am terrible at keeping a beat so I’m staring more at the metronome than what my reticle is pointed at. The reticle for the flamethrower does feel very bulky to me.
Both Equinox and Oberon would really benefit by capping drain the same way they capped Gloom.
Stealth works pretty well for it if you’re fine with essentially cheesing the boss. Melee is also punished less by damage attenuation.
The enemy’s napalm felt like it also did a lot more damage to me than it should, so try to kill any remaining enemies if you still see them around.
From my testing it seems like it needs to be a stage that hasn’t had a cursed peely pix used on it before (not sure if the peely pix also has to be different).
I completed TA with curse stickers on stage 1 and 2, and something else on stage 3. The next run I used my unused curse sticker on stage 1 and was not given a peely pix on completion. Finally I moved that sticker onto stage 3 and reran everything and finally got the last bonus peely pix after completing that last mission.
Doesn’t seem like the +1 pix chips need to be used on your first mission of the week, I just unlocked a new one after completing mine and ran a regular TA afterwards and ended up getting the +1 for having that sticker selected for that mission.
There is an exploit with Last Gasp which essentially makes you unkillable, it has been reported on the forums.
Ignoring exploits though because those really aren’t fun and can be patched in a future update. Specters can help a lot for drawing enemy fire in phase 1 because hitscans are unavoidable (aside from some accuracy penalties), and shoot the reinforcements as they’re coming down into the arena for an easy kill because the RPGs do a significant amount of damage to the boss.
Invisibility from Ivara’s arrows/sentinel can be helpful here too.
I tend to use multishot, it has always fell like popping an arctic eximus bubble took too long with acuity.
