CoolGuy does a terrific breakdown of Steelfeather and it doesn’t have super high marks for PvP. The base Stability at 38 is abysmal, so for a decent PvP roll we’re looking to correct that. If we fix Recoil, it mitigates such low Stability. A base Recoil of 57 means we’re not going to be able to bring it under control unless we use Arrowhead Brake with a Counterbalance mod. From there on out, we’re going for as much Stability as we can. Without Stability and Recoil mitigation, there’s not a lot of reason to use this weapon, hence the small number of PvP rolls. If you want to see firsthand why Firmly Planted is so amazing, check out this timestamp for PvE testing and this timestamp for PvP. “I feel it’s a decent weapon. I personally don’t crown it anything beyond it’s a fun AR to have in your rotation.”

  • (PvP) Super Picky Straight-Up Recoil - 0.3% chance: We’re looking to max Stability and Range after maxing recoil. The roll is built around Arrowhead Brake and Firmly Planted. Other sources of stability are gravy.

    Barrels [ 22%]: Arrowhead Brake
    Mags    [ 78%]: High-Caliber Rounds, Armor-Piercing Rounds, Ricochet Rounds, Light Mag
    Perks 1 [ 20%]: Firmly Planted
    Perks 2 [ 40%]: Vorpal
    MWorks  [ 25%]: Range MW
    
  • (PvP) Super Picky Max Range - 1.3% chance: Most of our stability will come from Firmly Planted so lets use the barrels and magazines to push out the range.

    Barrels [ 83%]: Hammer-Forged Rifling, Smallbore, Extended Barrel, Full Bore, Corkscrew Rifling
    Mags    [ 78%]: High-Caliber Rounds, Armor-Piercing Rounds, Ricochet Rounds, Light Mag
    Perks 1 [ 20%]: Firmly Planted
    Perks 2 [ 40%]: Vorpal
    MWorks  [ 25%]: Range MW

There are two long form Steelfeather reviews kicking around. CoolGuy does a terrific breakdown of the weapon overall with PvE and PvP thoughts. Aztecross has one as well and per usual, has a bit more excited yelling :) Interestingly they both compare it to a “higher range SMG”. They also both comment on its applicability (or lack of) to anything beyond slaying red-bar enemies. In Sundial for example, it runs out of steam. Oddly enough, Breachlight performs better in that role; go figure. “I feel it’s a decent weapon. I personally don’t crown it anything beyond it’s a fun AR to have in your rotation.”

  • (PvE) Super Picky - 10.1% chance: How can we keep DPS up as long as possible while preserving as much Range and Stability as possible?

    Perks 1 [ 40%]: Feeding Frenzy, Subsistence

  • (PvE) Shieldbreaker / Future-Proofing - 3.7% chance: With artifacts all over the map, it’s possible we get another Barrier mod that applies to Auto Rifles. This could be a fun one to bank.

    Barrels [ 91%]: Chambered Compensator, Corkscrew Rifling, Fluted Barrel, Polygonal Rifling, Hammer-Forged Rifling, Smallbore
