Key Takeaways:

  • The Emit is a craftable 450 auto rifle that offers consistent performance at longer ranges.
  • The Summoner, available in Trials of Osiris, is a melty auto rifle with stability and damage-boosting perks like Zen Moment and Kill Clip.
  • GernaderJake prefers the Summoner for its stability and melty potential, especially on medium to smaller maps.

Evaluating the Emit:

GernaderJake found that the Emit excelled at longer ranges, offering consistent damage and accuracy. The craftable nature of the weapon makes it easily accessible to players. However, on medium to smaller maps, the Emit may not perform as well due to its range limitations.

Evaluating the Summoner:

The Summoner, obtained from Trials of Osiris, impressed GernaderJake with its stability and melty potential. The combination of Zen Moment and Ricochet Rounds made it feel extremely stable, while perks like Kill Clip and Golden Tricorn added bonus damage and versatility. GernaderJake preferred the Summoner on most maps due to its all-around performance.

Final Thoughts:

While both the Emit and Summoner have their strengths, GernaderJake ultimately favored the Summoner for its stability and melty perks. However, for players without a well-rolled Adept Summoner, the Emit is a reliable and accessible alternative. Ultimately, the choice between the two auto rifles depends on personal preference and the map being played.
