Last season was the Season of Solar Weapons and Builds, however, this season we had delivered probably the best Solar Auto Rifle in the game with the Ammit-AR2.

Normally something this powerful might be reserved for the seasonal weapons or raid weapons, but this thing is potent.

The Perfect Fifth – Precision hits return ammo to the mag. Landing 4 precision hits loads a delayed solar explosive round for your nxt shot.

Zen Moment – Causing damage with this weapon increases the stability.

The main perk here is The Perfect Fifth, so ideally when you’re playing with this weapon you want to be getting as many precision hits as you can, as you get the benefit of the explosive round for the 5th shot. Next season we have Anti-Barrier Scouts, so this is going to be very useful for Nightfalls and other endgame PVE content.
