Silvered Lead
Current Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I decorate it with color - bring it to mine.
I know this missing an important part.
The only way i can be saved is to find a red badge of courage.
When youre familiar with the tools of trade they just seems to turn and sink,
With a file i sharpen my knowledge - broaden my view.
Unconsciously keeping the fragments of silvered lead in my pocket.
In case i may have to melt it down again in my pocket.
Take it as it is.

Well said. I got a Silver Dread with braced frame, field scout, and hidden hand, and that thing can mow down an entire team if used properly. Easily the best legendary machine gun in the game right now. But I am still convinced that the Nemesis Star is objectively the best machine gun in the game. I am actually very curious of its time to kill when you are using its exotic perk, because I swear that gun can kill in like .4 seconds.

@DestinyMassiveBreakdowns

Haven't gotten one yet :(

I'll test it as soon as I do

@chokoladenudlen6126

Great weapon review. Thanks!

@mat.b.

"One of the first things you need to know about the archetype is that increasing the impact stat by any amount will allow it to do enough damage to kill in one less bullet with either critical or body shots. Thankfully, this machine gun has Linear Compensator by default! "

You just turned off Aggressive Ballistics to pick Linear Compensator. This lowers the impact. You fool!

Or are you saying Aggroballs is overkill and Linear is the sweet spot?

@DestinyMassiveBreakdowns

Agg is overkill. It hurts aim assist more than LC, and range on top off that. All you need is LC to do enough damage to kill in fewer bullets.

@mat.b.

Destiny Massive Breakdowns thanks, wanted to make sure it wasn't an oversight or typo or something. Running smallbore/extended/HH and love it.
