When to Pick Each
PICK ARPEGGIO WHEN
Medium-to-long range burst precision. The 3-round burst is accurate at range. Uncommon rarity makes it cheaper to maintain than the Tempest.
PICK TEMPEST WHEN
Full-auto versatility. Higher DPS, larger magazine, and full-auto is more forgiving in panic situations.
ARPEGGIO STRUGGLES WHEN
CQB. Burst fire loses to full-auto in close quarters where spam wins.
TEMPEST STRUGGLES WHEN
Long range precision. Full-auto recoil makes the Tempest less accurate at the Arpeggio's optimal range.
