Slideshot is a top tier perk for Swordbreaker. If you can remember to slide, this perk adds a large buff to Range and Stability. Opening Shot then ties this Swordbreaker god roll together, pushing Swordbreaker’s Range to its limit. The Aim Assist and accuracy bonuses only make this weapon even more lethal in the right hands.
