In PvE, this has a lot of competition from the likes of Andedate and Mirror Imago, but this is a certified PvP stomper, perfect for any Peacekeeper Titan looking to add to their collection.

How good is DEADHORSE 04
Adaptive SMGs are some of the best in their class; rocking a quick rate of fire while still dishing out considerable damage, and Deadhorse 04 finally brings Stasis to the table.
While the PvE offerings are slightly underwhelming, in PvP, this will be a Peacekeeper Titan’s dream with Rangefinder and Target Lock in the pool. Deadhorse 04 is B-Tier for PvE and S-tier for PvP.

DEADHORSE 04 PvE god roll
| PvE Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Magazine | Tactical Mag |
| Perk 1 | Rimestealer or Enlightened Action |
| Perk 2 | Crystalline Corpsebloom or One for All |
| Masterwork | Reload Speed |
With overall solid base stats for its archetype, Fluted Barrel and Tactical Mag offer nice bonuses without any downsides and make pretty much every weapon they are on feel much better to use.
Perk 1 for this gun will either be Rimestealer or Enlightened Action. Rimestealer lets you build into Stasis synergy alongside Crystalline Corpsebloom, and Enlightened Action is a solid workhorse perk to boost stats. As for your main Perk 2 picks, Crystalline Corpsebloom or One for All will serve you well in the ad-clear department.
DEADHORSE 04 PvP god roll
| PvE Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Ricochet Rounds |
| Perk 1 | Rangefinder or Lone Wolf |
| Perk 2 | Target Lock |
| Masterwork | Stability |
As with most PvP rolls, you’ll want to buff range and stability as much as possible to eke out that extra advantage, so Smallbore and Ricochet Rounds will be our barrel and mag picks.
Perk 1 has really no better options than Rangefinder or Lone Wolf. With Rangefinder now offering +10 range once more, it’s a solid pick for better damage drop-off, but Lone Wolf’s buffs to ADS speed and aim assist cannot be understated, especially for controller users. And what better perk to pair either of these with than Target Lock, our only Perk 2 pick. While it might not be as powerful as before, that doesn’t negate the fact it lowers your TTK just for staying on target.
