Doll review
Overview
Bren is an MG that buffs her own Damage with her Skill on a long ICD.
MGs in general have several major issues that cause them to be ineffective for general content in comparison to ARs and RFs. They spend large amounts of time reloading, they have low Accuracy, and their targeting is random. Add in the fact that their supposed niche in “burst damage” only applies for the first few seconds of a fight, and a good RF or AR will outperform them shortly after Skills come into play, long before the fight is over. Bren does not alleviate any of these issues and as such, is not recommended for general use.

Bren MOD is special. I always thought these upgrades were supposed to improve the doll. Now don’t get me wrong, Bren’s MOD is technically an improvement on her base self, but it’s so poor of an upgrade that it is never worth it.
For some reason, Bren MOD decides to hyper focus all aspects of her kit on her Accuracy. She already enjoyed a good Accuracy stat, but now she pushes it to unnecessary extremes. Her Skill 2, Interval of Strength, gives her a stack of Accuracy and extra ammo after every reload up to three times. It’s like Lewis, except without the good. Her SPEQ is also an EOT on crack, cranking the Accuracy buff up drastically. She’s going to be reliably hitting targets for sure, but so are all of the other better MGs without all this Accuracy padding.
With so much focus on Accuracy, her damage gets left in the dust. She does get a pretty big raw Damage stat buff, but that’s it. Not even the enhanced Lock and Load helps, since she decided more bullets was more important. Even with all the extra Ammo, she still falls behind the primary MG competition.
Bren MOD is painful. Such a revered Machine Gun deserved better than this. If she focused on her Damage more, she could have potentially been a decent alternative to Lewis. But that’s not what we have. What we have instead is a doll too fixated on hitting her targets to understand she also needed to hit them harder. If you upgrade her, you’re probably doing it either to get the spot in collection or her amazing new art.
