    In this Legendary Weapon Preview I am going over the Legendary Dahl Assault Rifle, the Star Helix, which is an easter egg to the Sci-Fi show the Expanse.

    As a Zane main, most of my loyalty emails have been Dahl and Jakobs. Outside of any Legendaries being used, the normal world drop weapons I get mileage with are those two manufacturers. They just really click with my playstyle using this character.

    • @corey_massey
      @corey_massey Před 4 lety +1

      Zane is absolutely beast with Dahl weapons, especially if you use the clone. I run a dahl loyalty Gemini Man build using the clone and the dome and it is god mode since the clone doesn't seem to miss shots due to low recoil of Dahl weapons and aims for crits. If you want to turn the clone into an absolute monster.......give it a Dahl AR and it will literally double your DPS

    This is also a gun that would really benefit from the terror anointment ammo regen perk, because the fire rate is not so fast that it would burn through the mag anyway, and it's got high enough handling and accuracy that the terror won't screw with it too much. Shooting this for days sounds dope.
    It kinda seems like the projectiles are functioning like the Cutsman's? Where they split, but they kinda perform like you're shooting a length of razor wire.

    This has to be my single most wanted weapon, I haven't gotten one yet, but I'm currently only averaging a couple of hours a week cumulatively right now.

    I got the most out this gun in cryo on amara. If you go with a tank build (samsura, damage reduction all the way etc) it's pretty good as a point blank weapon that you can just unload on enemies. I see it as a weaker version of the dictator in a way, but without move speed penalty.

With the right parts/anointment/build, it is amazing. Throw indiscriminate on it, and Ties that bind/stillness of mind... Dude. And yes, shooting it for days with terror ammo regen is insane.

    This was the weapon that let me know ARs are _great_ in this game, picked one up around level 35-40 and it put in work for a darn good while.
    I find it's a solid weapon, I don't know if it's the best in it's class but it's crazy fun. I think the gun fires 1 straight bullet and two that helix cross it constantly like a non-lopsided DNA stand with a line down the middle meaning depending on distances you can either mini Lyuda/shotgun 3 bullets at a target or land 3 bullets on the same point for great damage.
    Every variant of this gun I've found has been non-elemental, I'd love a Cryo one or something for my Amara, speaking of, I basically used this gun as a rapid shotgun when I was levelling melee Amara, it was one of the first non-Jakobs guns I used and stuck with.

The pacing is well-done too. It's a rare scifi show that works on many levels, not just as scifi/nerdgasm material. Crisjen Avasarala and Amos are two of my favorite TV characters ever.

    I actually prefer this AR over a Lucian's Call for Zane. It procs Brain Freeze ridiculously fast and easy. The cryo variant is superb for him. It always shoots x3 regardless of distance. Once they're frozen, close the distance, hit those crits, and whatever your target is will be dead in about a second. The radiation version with Gamma Burst annointment is god tier on FL4K too. This might be my favorite AR in the game. It just handles so damn well and has great dps and ammo efficiency. I really should try this with Amara. I doubt it would outperform Skeksil or Linoge with Indiscriminate but I'm sure it's still really good for her Ties That Bind builds.

    Does it sound like mayhem 4 will be easier than mayhem 3? Mayhem 4 will only have 2 modifiers, a player buff and an enemy buff. And all player debuffs are removed. So we get maybe 200(guess) enemy health and two random effects. Maybe extra elemental dmg and extra enemy fire rate, sounds pretty stable.

    The bullets travel too fast. I don't know if I consider that an advantage or a disadvantage
