Discussion Base ps5 capable build

Playing on a base ps5 im tired of having such severe frame drops. I love my screen wide explosions but what build do you recommend for what a ps5 can handle?

It works just laggy. Youll get like 20-30fps

Turn the resolution down a bit and it's fine.

Spiritwalker Zoo worked pretty well. It did frame drop a bit on juiced maps with a lot of enemies coming from the abyss and other mechanics at the same time. It was manageable though

Has console performance in general improved since 0.3? I took a break over the frustration of putting together a gg build only to have it be borderline unplayable.

I played iceshot last league and had pretty good success on my base ps5, fully juiced 200 deli abyss can’t see the ground type shit. The main issue is actually the sound cutting out and I just play in complete silence until I quit out and come back I’d say that happens about once for every 5 hours or so of play.

Arc totem gemling is the best option I’ve found that won’t melt your processor. It also synergizes very well with killing enemies and picking up loot at the same time. It’s a bit tricky trying to kite abyss mobs, but doable if you pay attention.

I’ve played a ton of builds, and none are safe from frame drops lol

I don’t think it’s the build. I always thought it was enemy density at endgame

Is there anything you have found that helps performance?

This was my question too, definitely the build I'm playing!! But no clue if it's viable with ps5 😅
