The Silvered Dread is one of the best machine guns in the game. Let me tell you why in this video!
[Intro]

Welcome back guardians here is another in depth weapon review for you and today we are going to review the Iron Banner Machine gun the Silvered Dread.
The description is says: “forged in the honor of Felwinter, he who tried to avert the doom on the horizon”

This gun can only be obtained when iron banner is around, which happens on a monthly basis. Once Iron banner is live you can either get it from the vendor when it is sold or you might have a chance to obtain one from a weapon package bounty.

Let's start with the roll that I got on my Silvered Dread:
The barrels are all the same, but the other perks might differ.
So we have:
Aggressive Ballistics
Accurized Ballistics and
Linear compensator
Hand Laid Stock
Oiled Frame
Quick Draw
Extended Mag
Counter Balance
Grenadier

This is one of the better rolls that you can get , it ticks off all the important perks for a well rolled Pvp machine gun. It has Hand Laid Stock and Counter Balance to make this gun as accurate as possible and Extended Mag is fantastic for Pvp as you don’t want to be caught up in a reload during a round of heavy.
As you can see for my muzzle choice I have Linear compensator which not only up my damage from 37 to 41 like aggressive and Accurized Ballistics but it also improves the recoil by removing the side to side recoil and basically acting as a counterbalance perk.
Overall in my opinion this is one of the better rolls for Pvp, where hand laid stock and counterbalance helps you with your accuracy and extended mag makes you as lethal as possible by delaying the time that is needed to reload your gun.

Here is an overview of all the possible rolls.
In the first column any stability perk will do , but the best one would be perfect balance as this does not hurt any other stat , other alternatives would be hand laid stock or braced frame. For continues DPS hand laid stock would be the better choice over braced frame , since braced frame will reduce the magazine size and thus also your dps.
For the second column extended mag will be great for pvp so you can be as lethal as possible by delaying your need to reload as long as possible.
And Field scout would be more suitable for PVE, so you can carry more ammo.
As for the last column counter balance would be my number one pick followed by rangefinder and hidden hand. Counterbalance removes the side to side recoil so that it only goes vertically, which makes it easier for you to handle and rangefinder or hidden hand are both an all round good perk to have on any machine gun.

Overall I am really a fan of this mid impact archetype machine gun. I never liked the faster firing ones as I find the impact too low and the recoil is dread awful. The high impact machine guns are fun to use but it usually comes with a very low magazine size and that will really hurt your kill streak during a round of heavy, as I find myself caught up in a reload most of the time and by the time you switch to your primary you are already outgunned by the opponent with a bigger magazine size or rocket launcher. And in PVE the low mag size also becomes a problem, where you spend more time reloading than doing actually DPS to your enemies, this especially becomes an issue in raids during DPS phases, where you want to put as much DPS as possible and spend less time on reloading.  
So the mid impact archetype has in my opinion a good balance of fire rate and magazine size, and the Silvered Dread is one of the best in this archetype.

You should definitely get your hands on one when Iron Banner is around again.
This gun is honestly one of the best Machine guns that you can get in the game right now. The base stats are relatively high in all categories, range, stability and reload speed. It is just an overall solid gun, even when you do not have the in my opinion god roll perfect balance, extended mag and counterbalance it will still do you good as there are not a lot of bad perks in the perk trees.
So go get your hands on one when Iron Banner is around!
