For all possible perks, check out IKELOS_SR_V1.0.2 over on light.gg

The IKELOS_SR_V1.0.2 is a 140 RPM Rapid-Fire Frame sniper. Stat-wise, the currently available batch are mostly the same and unfortunately none can roll with both Snapshot and Quickdraw 😱 Note that the IKELOS does have a slightly higher Zoom (40 > 45) than half of the bunch. This may or may not work with your playstyle.

Let’s get this out of the way - “What roll will replace my Beloved?” Unfortunately none of them. No 140 RPM sniper beyond the S11 power cap can roll like Beloved, Tatara Gaze, Apostate, etc. It looks like they’re almost purposefully decoupling the great perks we’re used to seeing together: Snapshot + Quickdraw, Snapshot + Opening Shot, etc.

Some thoughts on the perks I’ve selected:

  • I value Moving Target over No Distractions for a few reasons. Contrary to the name, Moving Target procs whether or not you’re moving. No Distractions takes 1.5-2s to activate. That is an eternity and basically unusable in Comp or Trials. Even when it does activate, No Distractions doesn’t reduce flinch by that much. Here, check out Fallout’s testing.
  • Seraph Rounds, has just about every hidden benefit you can imagine ascribed to it. The only one I’m able to find definitive evidence for is that it increases range falloff by about 2m. When I compared it with Accurized Rounds on the IKELOS SMG, it pushed it about 1m further. That’s the only reason I prefer it here, but they’re basically the same in that one aspect. IMHO Bungie could definitely stand to redefine this perk if they’re planning on keeping IKELOS weapons around.

There aren’t a ton of great perks here, so I’m only featuring one roll with two variations: favouring Handling and favouring Range.

  • (PvP) “Seraph Sharpshooter / Handling” 🎯🎯🎯🌟 Collector’s Edition - 0.2% chance: The IKELOS has 73 Aim Assist and with Moving Target, a Targeting Adjuster mod and Enhanced Sniper Targeting on your helm, you’re plenty good on AA. Whatever tiny part of the Range stat affects AA is outweighed by faster Handling contributing to faster ADS and faster stow speed for cleanups.

  • (PvP) “Seraph Sharpshooter / Range” 🔭🔭🔭🌟 Collector’s Edition - 0.2% chance: The 140s tend to have quite high Handling. If you’re solid with the base level of Handling maybe you prefer all-out Range? Let’s keep the same set of rolls above and swap inRange-boosters. Some of the rolls overlap, so there will be fewer rolls here as they will be ‘caught’ by the above set of rolls.

    For all possible perks, check out IKELOS_SR_V1.0.2 over on light.gg

Ehroar and Kackis both review the IKELOS 1.0.2 and land on similar reccomendations which I’ll capture here. Ehroar’s take is a little more thorough so I’m expanding the Collector’s Edition with his thoughts.

The core perks are fine, so even though the Baseline is pretty easily obtainable, don’t let that dissuade you; it’s solid!
