PvP

For all possible perks, check out Seventh Seraph VY-7 over on light.gg

The VY-7 is a 600 RPM Energy “Precision Frame” SMG. Here’s how it compares to all other randomly-rolled 600 RPM SMGs on light.gg. It’s competitive base-stat-wise but there’s a reason you’ve probably never been killed by any of these weapons (or any SMG for that matter) since the first year of Destiny 2. In Season 10 with the recent Adaptive Auto Rifle buff, Auto Rifles outclass SMGs and failing ARs, both sidearms and shotguns are going to frustrate the hell out of you.

Forget it right? But do you remember this world?

The VY-7 is an Energy Antiope-D (the basic stat variances are immaterial in practice). Yes it’s not the meta now, but a solid roll might be worth throwing in the vault.

“Why don’t any of these rolls value Range?” The difference between the base range of 59 and let’s say 80 (using Accurized Rounds, etc.) buys you about a whopping one meter of falloff (~16 to ~17m). I don’t value buffing Range all that highly on the VY-7. It’s not that it’s bad per se, it’s just that the opportunity cost is high.

  • (PvP) Slif’s “Weird Auto Rifle but OK” 🤷‍♂️🌱 Collector’s Edition - 0.7% chance: We’re going to use a Counterbalance Mod to get the Recoil to 100, so we can go for Stability-enhancing Barrel options. Wait, what the hell is Elemental Capacitor doing in there?! The Handling and Stability bonuses are material. The Stability bonus is the most noticeable, estimated to be around 20 points. You absolutely feel the difference with Elemental Capacitor active (don’t forget to swap weapons if you’re testing it) so I won’t be relaxing it on these rolls. I think there’s not much of a point to this SMG above other Energy weapons unless you can flex what makes it unique, and Elemental Capacitor certainly does that.

    PvE

    For all possible perks, check out Seventh Seraph VY-7 over on light.gg

The VY-7 is the only SMG that’s able to roll with Vorpal and you’ll want one of these for two reasons:

  • The VY-7 is a Seraph weapon and contributes to the generation of Warmind Cells.
  • SMGs are eligible for certain Season 10 Artifact weapon mods.

…so let’s come up with some rolls that help shred Champions and generate Warmind Cells (i.e. shred adds).

You must absolutely run a Counterbalance Mod or otherwise fix the Recoil with Arrowhead Brake or Chambered Compensator. Even though its base Recoil is 91 it’s still a hot mess to control, esp. with its low Handling. For the rolls below I’m going to assume you’re rolling with a Counterbalance Mod installed.

  • (PvE) “Champion Shredder” 🏆💥 Collector’s Edition - 0.7% chance: Whenever SMGs are up on the Artifact, you’ll want Vorpal to help shred through Champions. FTTC might seem like a strange choice for an SMG but the rate of fire is so fast, you’d be surprised how often it you end up getting it to proc. I won’t be relaxing either Vorpal or FTTC on these rolls because just one of either would mean that it’s not worth using this over something else in the Energy slot.
