    Merciless + Recoil + Controller

    Here is a little help or build information for those who play with and on controllers,consoles that struggle with the Merciless and it's recoil.


    A build to mess around with or to test.
    3 piece strikers, Fox's Prayer knees, any chest and back pack of choice talents Vigilance and Braced. Sharpshooter specialization.

    Braced, Whilst in cover weapon handling is increased by 45%.

    With all these together the Recoil on the Merciless is negated, you basically have an automatic long range sniper rifle that's on point scoped or not.

    Your stats end up depending on chest and back pack choices.

    Reload time 1.6 secs
    Reload speed bonus 60%
    Accuracy 60%
    Stability 75%
    Weapon handling 15 to 40% base with Braced 60 to 85%
    CHC 50% approx
    CHD 100% approx
    Headshot damage 110% approx
    But with the stability/handling and accuracy bonuses you have no recoil whatsoever plus the vigilance proc which gives extra damage.

    Also with the Strikers 3 piece your RPM of the Merciless goes upto 460 RPM and your explosive damage on the talent is anywhere between 3 million to 4 million plus.

    So to those who hate the recoil on the gun, take these build hints and mess around with them, but 3 piece strikers and Braced are a must.

    Well you could make an LMG & merciless build using LMG to build stacks and merciless to cash in with the amplified damage and if you use LMG you can use the named pertrov chestpeice that has perfect braced for even more stability, seeing how you would lots of weapon handling something like MG5 or negev would be able to get stacks pretty fasts

    True but i'm not using LMG's this is specifically about using and negating the recoil on the Merciless.

    The build suggestion is a pure rifle build using the Merciless , your recoil is 0 from the get go and this was all about negating the recoil of the merciless with a certain set up. with 0 recoil all your shots are on point always.

    Iv'e been using it for a few days now and it's like having an auto sniper rifle that never misses a shot.
