Bite of the Fox

For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.

Bite of the Fox is a Kinetic-slot, Aggressive Frame sniper. It’s been in the Iron Banner loot pool since Season 4 and has been re-issued in Season 11. This means if you had a BOTF, it will hit the level cap this season, so you’ll want to get a new roll to take you past Season 11.

PvP Thoughts#

Aggressive Frame snipers are the only ones that can one-shot every super in the Crucible. Every super has a different damage-resistance tier that affects your ability to do that however Aggressive Frames do not care about such things.

The perk pool is unchanged in the re-issue, so we have a pretty simple set of rolls we’re chasing.

PvE Thoughts#

There’s no Triple- Tap, Fourth Time’s the Charm, Vorpal, etc. so I’d suggest you use something else in PvE in the Kinetic slot. If you absolutely had to have one, maybe [Firmly Planted + Field Prep]?
