Ikelos SMG

[cosmic nymph]

What is the God roll for the Ikelos SMG for ad clearing?

I'm gonna craft it which is why I ask

[tranquil yarrow]

Feeding frenzy + voltshot

Normal frenzy is also good

[cosmic nymph]

What about the the magazine and barrel perks?

[lone skiff]

seraph rounds arrowhead brake

[cosmic nymph]

Ah thanks

[tired patio]

feeding frenzy and voltshot

[cosmic nymph]

Thanks

[grizzled pendant]

shoot to loot is better but feeding is good aswell

[grizzled pendant]

assuming u actively use ur special (u should)

[lone skiff]

rather have a stl scout instead

[cosmic nymph]

I mean I'll probably be using witherhoard with it

What does shoot to loot do anyway?

[small grotto]

you can collect ammo bricks and orbs of power by shooting them instead of needing to walk over them, shooting an ammo brick reloads all your weapons

[grizzled pendant]

ding ding ding absolutely shoot to loot

[cosmic nymph]

Ok cool thanks y'all

Is there a fast way to level up a ikelos smg?

[grizzled pendant]

suro chi

[cosmic nymph]

Ok cool

[lone skiff]

crucible/trials

[ruby thistle]

Shuro chi checkpoint is very fast

💀💀💀🤡

[spark oar]

if you use shoot to loot youre literally throwing. feeding frenzy voltshot is de wayyy

[marsh viper]

^

[tired patio]

shoot to loot is only good on scouts tbh

but still wouldn’t recommend all that much

[cosmic nymph]

gotcha

so let me get this correct Feeding frenzy and voltshot on my ikelos smg then?

[rich kite]

yes

[cosmic nymph]

okie

[tired patio]

correct

[grizzled pendant]

abismal take

[spark oar]

shoot to loot on anything other than a scout or trace rifle is dog meat. the whole point of the gun is to reload after a kill to proc voltshot which is why feeding frenzy or threat detector is what you run.

[grizzled pendant]

the use of a primary is to support ur special

you apply voltshot and keep witherhorde on spawns

thats all its good for, if your actually trying to use it your either playing content that it doesnt matter

or your not optimal

either way im right.

[twilit fable]

just have 2 ikelos one with feeding and one with shoot to loot, and swap weapons if you see a brick

[ruby thistle]

I run stl frenzy when I run an ikelos. Way more useful than voltshot or feeding frenzy

[dense dragon]

I'm team feeding/voltshot
Shoot to loot on a close range is a bit sus to me

[quartz root]

stl on a smg is kind of a throw imo

if you're that near, you can take a few steps to grab it

[ruby thistle]

Only time I'm using an SMG is like descent in dsc anyways so I use an stl frenzy so I can grab ammo for witherhoard while I'm on the catwalks

[quartz root]

that's fair

[grizzled pendant]

stl has no falloff

[quartz root]

i'm not talking about falloff?

[grizzled pendant]

so the actual range of an smg doesnt matter

[quartz root]

i'm saying that if you use a smg, you're in close range anyway

so just go pick it up

[grizzled pendant]

again you shouldnt actually be using

the smg for anything other then jolting

[quartz root]

that's not the point here

[soft elbow]

threat better than feeding for sure

[drifting pebble]

Lasts longer but way weaker. It fails at 5m short of max range and 1/3 kills on ff beat it

[soft elbow]

feeding frenzy is 1/5 and 1 kill is 10 reload 2x-45 3x-55- 4x-70 5x-100 in harder content your not gonna get like more than 2 kills per mag

like gm's

as if threat if your 15 meters within a singular target you get 0.75x modifier and 15 stabil/reload and if your within 2 targets (which most cases are) your gonna get

you get 60 reload speed thats gonna proc more consistently then feeding frenzy unless your in like low end content but anyways threat works there too
