"B-X-R" was a glitched button combo that became an official part of the game because it was difficult to pull off.
The Blunt Execution Rounds perk on this weapon appears to be a reference/homage to the BXR-meta (BXR allowed skilled players to cancel the last part of their melee-animation for a quick follow-up shot).
great rolls for pve and pvp
In all seriousness, a solid pulse rifle. It combines adaptives and rapid-fires in terms of adaptability - great hipfire like rapid-fires, but the consistency of adaptives. Can't go wrong with a good kill clip roll, or blunt execution rounds if you want to relive the days of Halo 2 PvP.
the hipfire is also damn good, you have like zero recoil
insane build synergy with demo and incandescent. no need to run loaders because reload stat is 87. perfect recoil direction due to arrowhead.
it just doesn't get any better than this in the current sandbox. it's usable in all levels of content and shreds. also has the best base stats of any legendary in the game.
10/10
and of course in PvP enhanced perpetual + enhanced kill clip is a menace. no complaints.
In PvE, Adrenaline Junkie getting retired is a bit baffling, but the addition of Incandescent more than makes up for it.
I’d like to call attention to a certain combo: Pugilist/Incandescent. This can be paired with the Ember of Searing (kills on scorched targets generate melee energy) to elevate your solar melee builds. Say, rocking something like Calaban’s Hand for example. If you whiff your explosive knife, you’ll be able to get it back pretty quick just by going through some red bars.
Don’t sleep on this now that Junkie is gone, you’ve just gotta look around for different ways to use the gun. Go craft this thing.
Oh, and it's the battle rifle. Enough said.
A decent number of people seem excited about Incandecent on the BxR. I can confirm it is very easy to proc with this gun, but I think there's potentially better Incandecent guns out there like the Ammit.
The BxR is the only gun that can roll Blunt Execution Rounds though, and that perk combined with Pugalist may turn this into a Legendary Monte Carlo/primary sniper (with BER actively) hybrid in Pulse Rifle form.
