"The math isn't the thing. The math is an inside joke. Just old solutions some say hint at the pinnacle of pre–Golden Age thought mechanics. My partner used to go on about it. About probabilities and random patterns used to solve the unsolvable. I never really paid attention. Outdated science never equaled a good payday, if you follow. Anyway, we used to run resource grabs along a coast out east. We found the rifle in the ruins of a gamblin' hall. In a vault ten feet thick. Behind glass, like it was someone's somethin' special—a real showpiece. Thought for sure we had a solid score. Funny bit was, the spot where we found it…? It was named after the math. Or, that's what my partner said. My money says the opposite, but what I know about science and history is limited to what I can sell and the sum it'll fetch.

"So, we're out in that ruined hall with loot to spare and an old-time shooter that should trade for a small fortune. Then scavengers hit. Small crew, but mean. My partner took bolts. Dropped. I tried to cover him, but the pirates were on us. Last I saw, his Ghost got scraped by a line rifle. Nothing I could do. Only reason me and my girl made it out was she was off scoutin' our escape, and I… The Fallen were distracted by my partner. But, I'm tellin' ya… there was nothing I could do."

"You were lucky to make it back… With your life, and your 'treasure.'"

"You could say that."

"You survived an unauthorized run in known Fallen territory. You found an advanced Golden Age firearm with functional tech in a sealed chamber. You sold the weapon's tech to a gunsmith you won't name for a 'small fortune' in Glimmer. And your partner is nowhere to be found—'dead by Fallen hands'—so that 'fortune' is all yours. No need to split it."

"Sure. When you look at it that way, the math ain't so bad."

—Egon Bash, a questionable Hunter under Vanguard interrogation

Warlocks listen up....Monte Carlo + SunBracers = Solar Grenades galore. Worth trying for any warlock. Some of the most fun I have had playing this game.

An excellent PVE auto rifle, has high stability, handling, and reload.

The question is why bungie hasn't added a catalyst yet...

See, what I want is for the catalyst to let you use the bayonet on the gun. My idea is that melee hits or kills will fill up a meter. Once you fully charge the meter, your next melee attack will be a super strong bayonet stab!

Its a Swashbuckler + Grave Robber Auto Rifle with a crazy melee mod built in. Never thought i'd want this in my life but its pretty good! PvP 600RPM autos aren't that forgiving in my personal opinion but still can be used

Can allow for some really nasty melee builds in pve, and in pvp the damage is pretty solid for an auto rifle, and with the perk active, its like an smg with rampage but can hit at mid range. Also, Bungie locked it for raid day 1. If that doesn't tell you enough then you're crazy.

PVE: Monte + Crown of Temp + Middle tree Stormcaller = A never ending nightmare for any and all creatures that even look at you funny.
PVP: As a warlock main, with our terrible melee speed, it's not as FUN but still pretty effective.

Get the muscle memory for the recoil pattern and land nothing but dome shots. Don't forget to throw them hands and some grenades every now and then.

Are you sick and tired of having a cooldown for your melee ability? Do you enjoy causing large amounts of physical trauma to other Guardians, Eliksni, Cabal, or hallucinations caused by repeat resurrection? Are you secretly a Titan trapped in a unswole body? Then try the Monte Carlo! Using a revolutionary new method called “Space magic” regenerate your melees lickity-split!

Titans! You know what to do with this. Works amazing with any shoulder charge for instant regeneration. Use Heavy Handed/Skullfort for good results.

This is a very good auto rifle for ANY player that likes to melee and use melee abilities frequently. Get it, then play around with it. You'll see how damn good it is. Revenant Shuriken and Code of the Missile's Ballistic Slam (in conjunction with Insurmountable Skullfort, especially ) come to mind. In essence, it's an auto rifle with a ramping damage loop. Kill with Melee > Deal High Damage with Markov Chain Active > Recharge Melee Ability > Repeat.

I'm a warlock main that use this in combination with Karnstein or Sunbracers at top tree dawn blade
on PvP it's amazing if you can proc Karnstein over and over again I have clutched many games because of Karnstein
and on PvE Sunbracers is the go-to not only you can spam grenade but also you can cosplay as Deidara
lastly, I'm an auto rifle maniac so yeah I simp for this weapon

To say this gun is criminally overlooked would be an understatement as far as I am concerned.

Monte Carlo is stupidly versatile for any activity and due to the fact that many of Warlocks good exotics are very melee focused in my opinion this is the perfect weapon for warlocks. Needless to say Karnsteins and this on shadebinder turn you into what feels like an incarnation of death itself. The only real learning curve is controlling the recoil but over time you can easily learn to do that.

Alright. Titans, listen up. Equip this thing, equip Solar 3.0, Equip consecration, take a few fragments that enhance ignitions, tadaa you're now a literal add-clear god. If you want to enhance it even further, build into warmind-cells With rage of the warmind and Global Reach and equip explosive wellmaker. Congratulations, you now have explosions with extra big explosions. Don't forget the fragment that makes you radiant with every powered melee-kill. Path of burning steps can also trigger off consecration, so with one consecration melee you get: explosions, a warmind-cell, a solar well, radiant, firewalker buff, markov chain max stacks. Makes this gun very wild to use. Pair this with a Without Remorse with Incandescent and you will be a Fire God.

All joking aside, this gun is very solid in PvE. The only thing I hate about this gun is how it sounds. It sounds like a peashooter. Peas of doom. In PvP, as much as I love AR's, right now they're just not very strong but more 'okay'.

rapid melee cooldown, and when you get a melee kill you auto reload it is amazing in pve, pvp wise it hits pretty hard, pretty solid auto rifle plus you can recharge your melee with 2+ kills

In pve I don't tend to use it but there's almost no damage fallof with x5 markov chain. However, using this with 100 strength, claws of ahamkara, and shadebinder, I'm dominating the crucible. It's fantastic.

I wouldn't call it balanced, but its amazing for every class. Even for PvP, but not by a lot. The perk is amazing and can be used in meme strats too. I love it to death.

Shreds ads in PvE and works very well with middle tree Arcstrider. Decent ttk in PvP with manageable recoil.

Good recoil control and ammo (600RPM) thats both good for pvp and pve. Perk is just insane for pve and quite good for pvp is a quite nice meta weapon.

Synergizes well with the new bottom tree Gunslinger, and it's overall perk set is really good. Not so good in PVP though, it's TTK is not very optimal

Can all for some really good melee builds in pve. Pair up with middle tree Sentinel (Code of the Commander) make the weapon really good and also have melee up a lot. Take about 3-5 kills to active the fully charge melee but can come at any kill, no matter how many stacks of Monte Carlo Method you have.
