Stochastic Variable

For all possible perks, check out Stochastic Variable over on d2gunsmith.com

The Stochastic Variable is a 900 RPM SMG initially introduced as part of the Faction Rallies event and was part of the Future War Cult loot pool. It was reintroduced with random rolls in S14 and has access to some of the new perks introduced with Beyond Light, but none of the S14-specific new perks (e.g. Danger Zone).

It seems to be universally panned in PvP and highly regarded in PvE, so only PvE rolls will be featured. With the introduction of the Shayura’s Wrath Trials of Osiris reward, it gets some stiff competition in the PvP SMG space.

PvE Rolls

Stochastic Variable is a sleeper at the moment, but with a Warmind Cell nerf of sorts likely incoming, it’s a great alternative to pick up once your Ikelos SMG becomes perhaps a bit less useful.

“Recluse 2.0 - Ehroar’s Pick”

With Feeding Frenzy and Multikill Clip you’re turning an already terrific weapon into a Recluse-like machine.

  Barrels [ 22%]: Hammer-Forged Rifling
  Mags    [ 33%]: High-Caliber Rounds
  Perks 1 [ 16%]: Feeding Frenzy
  Perks 2 [ 16%]: Multikill Clip
  MWorks  [ 25%]: Range MW

“Recluse 1.5 - Ehroar’s Pick, Slightly Less Great”

But still great! While Feeding Frenzy is the winner in Column 3, Ambitious Assassin and Surplus will also put in work. This is the same roll as the above with those just two swapped in, in lieu of Feeding Frenzy.

  Barrels [ 22%]: Hammer-Forged Rifling
  Mags    [ 33%]: High-Caliber Rounds
  Perks 1 [ 33%]: Surplus, Ambitious Assassin
  Perks 2 [ 16%]: Multikill Clip
