The build isn't anything super elaborate, but I've crafted it to be able to work well on Legendary raids and thus far it hasn't disappointed.

The Determined talent on the Covert SRS gives me guaranteed headshots after a headshot kill for faster target acquisition, which pairs well with the Hotshot set that gives me a 20% consecutive headshot bonus, 10% bonus armor per headshot kill, as well as bottomless mags, The Chain killer chest piece grants me 1250% of the killing blows damage on the next headshot kill (but I do not need the perfect version of the talent since the perfect bonus does not influence the above 250% headshot damage), and the Overdogs gloves are to make getting all the bonuses I need easier at the start on Legendary. This loadout basically allows me to one shot most any red, purple, or even non-tank elites once I have the momentum going, allowing each shot to deal up to 20,000,000 damage even on a body shot.

My problem is that the loadout is not perfect yet. The things I want to improve are the following

- The Sniper: The Covert SRS is an ugly piece of garbage that is too small for the 'kill everything in one shot' loadout, and I also don't think it's the best high end MR there is. What sniper has the all around best base stats? Ik I'll have to optimize something else, but I basically want to know if something like the M700 Tactical is better, or even just a normal SRS is the way to go.

- The Secondary/Exotic Weapon: I cannot seem to find something that slots nicely into the loadout for a secondary weapon or exotic. I used the Shroud before just to get a higher bonus on Chainkiller to get the momentum started, but since I've fixed the rest of the loadout to one-shot reds in Legendary to then get the bonuses to do the rest, I've been looking for a replacement. I'd love for this weapon to be good at dealing with robots, tanks, or otherwise have a clear role that can't be performed by my sniper.

- The Exotic Armor: I honestly don't believe I need the Overdogs, because once I get my momentum going, 20,000,000 damage is the standard, with it occasionally increasing to 22,000,000 or something around that on a crit. I think the Overdogs may be redundant since they are of no help in killing tanks or robots unless they are on their own, which at that point my team is already laying into them for me. What exotic would be a good substitute? It doesn't even need to help with headshots or snipers, so long as it does something effective

- The Chest Piece: I will probably just settle for something that increases weapon handling or something since the normal chainkiller talent (whatever its called) would work fine, but I'd also be willing to hear recommendations for it

That's basically it. Thanks for reading and thanks for your help too.
