Frozen Orbit

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

Frozen Orbit is an Energy-slot, Aggressive Frame Sniper. It’s been in the Crucible loot pool since Season #####. It is most comparable to a Tatara Gaze (sunset).

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.

PvE Thoughts#

Outlaw, Clown Cartridge, and Triple Tap all pair nicely with Wellspring, High-Impact Reserves, and Vorpal for PvE.

⏩ CoolGuy’s First Pick (pvp)#

Frozen Orbit has the lowest handling of any sniper, including Whisper, so these rolls counteract that with Quickdraw or Snapshot.

• Collector’s Edition Roll
  • Barrels: Fluted Barrel, Arrowhead Brake
  • Magazines: Tactical Mag, Accurized Rounds
  • Perks 1: Moving Target, Killing Wind, Firmly Planted
  • Perks 2: Snapshot, Quickdraw

🦶 Nail Clipper (pvp)#

Toe shots! Aggressive Frame? Kill Clip? Is Tatara Gaze back? Sadly, no. Kill Clip rolls in the same slot as Snapshot/Quickdraw, so we need to pick some different perks to improve the supremely low handling of this sniper. 210 or 221 damage to the body with Kill Clip up.

• Collector’s Edition Roll
  • Barrels: Fluted Barrel, Arrowhead Brake
  • Magazines: Tactical Mag, Accurized Rounds
  • Perks 1: Surplus, Firmly Planted, Killing Wind
  • Perks 2: Kill Clip
  • Masterworks: Handling MW
• Extended Perks (referred to with a ‘+’ below)
  • Barrels: Fluted Barrel, Arrowhead Brake, Hammer-Forged Rifling, Smallbore, Corkscrew Rifling
  • Magazines: Tactical Mag, Accurized Rounds

⛺️ Warlocks love feeling empowered (pvp)#

This one’s for the Warlocks. High-Impact Reserves (~+5%) brings damage to 167 (from 158) on the final two shots of a clip. In an Empowering Rift (+20%), this is enough to body (201) a high-resilience guardian. What goes well with camping in an empowering rift? No Distractions, Firmly Planted? Who cares. This roll is about that tiny +5% damage boost.
