Review

Perhaps my new favorite gun for Crucible usage on smaller maps, the Nechrochasm is close to what I hoped it would be when it was first released. Thanks to coming out of the box with high stability and aim assist, and even an average recoil direction, it handles very easily compared to most 100/2 ARs. On top of this, the combination of Zen Moment and Fitted Stock means I have no problem running Accurized Ballistics for the bonus range and damage, both of which combine to give it a surprisingly long reach. I stay away from Aggressive, even though it decreases the time-to-kill, simply because it kills aim assist, range, and stability and I don't think it's worth it. Similarly. CQB Ballistics, while it makes the gun more stable, just isn't worth giving up the extra range and impact from Acc Balls. Now that the Cursebringer perk procs on all kills and not just headshots, I spray away and pick up collaterals and assists like it's my job, and I love it. I almost don't want to recommend this weapon because I hate the idea of exposing the secret of this golden nugget, but I feel an obligation to share the joy with the world. Definitely give it a shot, and let the screams of the cursed thralls surround your enemies.
