Today, we’ll be covering a weapon that’s received some of the most popularity from new players and veterans alike: The Call.

How good is The Call

Being only the second rocket-assisted sidearm in the game, players have very little to go off of regarding The Call’s potency. Even so, with its predecessor (Indebted Kindness) being as powerful as it is, community members have been extremely excited about this new weapon.

In PvE, The Call is outstanding. While its offerings mostly coincide with Indebted Kindness, its unique Strand element allows it to roll with more unique options as well. Regardless, The Call’s outstanding archetype and well-rounded perk pool are sure to make the weapon a PvE staple.

Moving to The Crucible, The Call does fall behind a bit compared to Indebted Kindness. Even though both fulfill the same role, the latter simply has better perks, making The Call fall behind. Overall, we consider The Call is S-Tier in PvE and C-Tier in PvP..

Best alternatives:

	Aberrant Action	Sidearm	Special	Solar	Echoes Activities	Incandescent
	Indebted Kindness	Sidearm	Special	Arc	Warlord's Ruin Dungeon	Voltshot

The Call Perks

The Call sidearm can roll with the following perks:

• Perk 1: Demolitionist, Stats for All, Subsistence, Lead from Gold, Slice, Beacon Rounds, Strategist.
• Perk 2: One for All, Desperate Measures, Adrenaline Junkie, Vorpal Weapon, Golden Tricorn, Multikill Clip, Hatchling.
• Origin Trait: Dealer’s Choice

The Call PvE god rolls

First, we’ll be focusing on increasing velocity through Quick Launch and a velocity masterwork. In terms of magazines, Tactical Mag is our pick due to its wide range of potent stat buffs. For perk column one, Lead from Gold is generally the most common pick. However, Demolitionist and Slice both have utility in certain builds and activities, so it may be worth keeping multiple copies of this weapon.

As for the final perk, One for All is easy to proc with this weapon’s AoE and provides a substantial damage buff.  However, Desperate Measures, Hatchling, Vorpal Weapon, and Multikill Clip also aren’t horrible options, depending on the context in which you’re using The Call.

Potential Loadout: The Call, Red Death Reformed, Edge Transit.

The Call PvP god rolls

Just like for PvE, we’ll start by increasing velocity with Quick Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, and a velocity masterwork.

For main perks, Beacon Rounds is a pretty solid option, especially given the lackluster state of the rest of the first column. The final column is even worse, offering no stand-out options whatsoever. We chose Vorpal Weapon as it’ll likely provide a good amount of situational utility, but which mediocre perk you select is mostly personal preference.
