What the Koraxis's Distress perks do

Rapid-Fire Frame

Deeper ammo reserves. Slightly faster reload when magazine is empty.

Volatile Launch

This weapon is optimized for an especially explosive payload. • Greatly increases blast radius • Slightly decreases handling speed • Slightly decreases projectile speed

Confined Launch

This weapon's launch parameters are particularly stable. • Greatly increases stability • Increases blast radius • Decreases projectile speed

Countermass

This weapon is weighted for vertical recoil. • Greatly controls recoil • Increases stability • Increases handling speed

Hard Launch

This weapon's launch barrel is optimized for projectile speed. • Greatly increases projectile speed • Decreases stability • Slightly decreases blast radius

Linear Compensator

This weapon's launch barrel is well-balanced. • Slightly increases projectile speed • Slightly increases blast radius • Slightly increases stability

Quick Launch

This weapon's barrel provides faster projectiles and much faster aiming. • Greatly increases handling speed • Increases projectile speed

Smart Drift Control

This barrel is broadly optimized for firing control. • Moderately controls recoil • Increases stability • Increases handling speed • Slightly increases projectile speed

Proximity Grenades

Grenades fired from this weapon have increased proximity detection but a decreased blast radius.

Spike Grenades

Increases Grenade Impact damage: • 12.12% increase on Special Grenade Launchers • 12.5% increase on Power Grenade Launchers Due to the ratio of Detonation and Impact damage being tied to the Blast Radius stat on Grenade Launchers, a lower stat will provide a slightly higher overall damage increase.

Alloy Casing

Reduces weight for faster reloads. • Greatly increases reload speed • Decreases stability

Augmented Drum

Heavy, high capacity drum. • Greatly increases magazine size • Greatly decreases reload speed

High-Explosive Ordnance

This weapon's projectiles are larger and travel faster. • Increases blast radius • Slightly increases projectile speed • Decreases magazine size

High-Velocity Rounds

This weapon's projectiles are particularly light and quick. • Increases projectile speed • Increases reload speed

Mini Frags

Grenades are smaller and more compact for easier reloading. • Increases magazine size • Increases reload speed • Decreases blast radius

Sticky Grenades

Grenades stick to impacted surfaces for up to ? seconds and detonate once an enemy gets within ? meters. Increases Detonation damage by 30% and decreases Impact damage by 85%. Due to the ratio of Detonation and Impact damage being tied to the Blast Radius stat on Grenade Launchers, a higher stat will be more beneficial: • 20 Blast Radius: 6% decreased total damage • 48 Blast Radius: unchanged total damage • 100 Blast Radius: 11% increased total damage

Implosion Rounds

This weapon's projectiles travel faster and have a controlled explosion. • Increases projectile speed • Greatly increases stability • Decreases blast radius

Disorienting Grenades

Passively grants -200 Blast Radius, 25% decreased damage, and 15% decreased detonation radius. Enemies within 6 meters of the explosion are disoriented for 4.5 seconds. Disorient radius cannot be increased using other perks. Champions and Bosses are unaffected by Disorient. (Disorient is effectively the equivalent of Arc Blind without any of the elemental synergies and anti-champion benefits) Players near the explosion briefly lose their HUD and have their screen distorted for up to ? seconds. Duration varies depending on the distance from the blast.

Impulse Amplifier

Passively grants 20 Reload Speed and 15% decreased Reload Animation Duration (20% for Rocket Launchers). Passively increases Projectile Velocity based on Weapon Archetype: • Rocket Launchers: 10% • Support-Frame Auto Rifles: 15% • Micro-Missile Frame Weapons: 25%

Field Prep

Grants the following while Crouched: • 50 Reload Speed • 0.8x Reload Duration Multiplier • 0.8x Ready/Stow Duration Multiplier Passively grants 20 Ammo Generation stat. (50% more than 1 Ammo Generation armor mod)

Danger Zone

Increases Blast Radius by ?% and decreased Self-Damage while within 15 meters of 3 enemies. Effect lingers for 3.5 seconds once no longer surrounded. Grenade Launchers: 40% decreased Self-Damage Rocket Launchers: 99.99% decreased Self-Damage and allows for rocket jumping

Envious Assassin

Upon readying the weapon after scoring Kills with your other Weapons: Refills and/or overfills the Magazine from reserves based on the amount of Weapon Kills scored. Maximum total overfill amount is 200% of the Magazine Capacity. Each activation can only load up to 100% of the Magazine Capacity into the magazine. Loaded ammo per Kill by ammo type (rounds up): • Primary Weapons: 10% of Magazine Capacity • Special and Power Weapons: 20%

Reconstruction

Every 6 seconds while not firing the weapon: Loads 25% of the Magazine Capacity (rounded up) into the Magazine from reserves. Can overfill the Magazine up to double the normal capacity. Works even while stowed.

Demolitionist

Weapon Kills grant 10% Grenade Ability Energy. Kills with Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Glaives, and Fusion Rifles grant 20%. Using your Grenade Ability refills the Magazine with a 3 second cooldown. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Chain Reaction

Weapon Kills trigger an elemental explosion matching the weapon's element. Damage and radius of the explosions varies based on the weapon's ammo type: • Special Weapons: Up to 67.2 [44.8] damage in a 2.4 meter radius • Power Weapons: Up to 109.2 [72.8] damage in a 3 meter radius

Envious Arsenal

Dealing any damage with both of your other weapons refills the magazine from reserves upon readying the weapon.

Blast Distributor

Dealing Explosive Weapon damage grants a stack of 'Blast Distributor' for 5 seconds. Maximum of 5 stacks. 'Blast Distributor' grants 10 Grenade Stat per stack.

Frenzy

After being in Combat for 12 seconds: Grants 15% increased damage, 100 Handling, and 100 Reload Speed for 7.2 seconds. Works and can activate while stowed. Dealing and receiving damage refreshes the buff duration. For Frenzy, being in Combat is defined as having either dealt or received damage within the last 5 seconds. Self-damage and environmental damage do not count.

Harmony

Upon readying the weapon within 3 seconds of getting a Kill with a different weapon: Grants 20% increased damage and 15 Handling for 7 seconds.

Surrounded

Being within 15 meters of 3 Enemies grants 40% increased damage. Buff lingers for 1.5 seconds once the condition is no longer met. Exceptions: • Swords only receive a 35% damage increase. • Grenade and Rocket Launchers receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase and a 40% Impact Damage increase. • Wolfpack Rounds receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase.

Wellspring

On Weapon Kill: Grants 8% Ability Energy split equally amongst all uncharged abilities. Abilities with multiple charges only receive one third of the ability energy normally split to them once they have a full ability charge ready. Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.

Hatchling

Scoring a Precision Kill or 3 kills within 3 seconds of each other spawns a Threadling at the target's location.

Paracausal Affinity

Scoring a Kill from any source matching the elemental alignment of the weapon grants 20% increased damage for 6 seconds. Buff can activate while stowed. Light Alignment: Arc, Solar, Void Darkness Alignment: Stasis, Strand

Full Court

Starts linearly increasing Detonation and Burn (DoT) damage 0.2 seconds after the grenade projectile is fired. Reaches maximum strength after 1.1 seconds at a 35% damage increase. The damage increase is finalized at the point of detonation and any lingering effects left will not increase it further.

Bait and Switch

Dealing damage with a weapon starts a 7 second timer. Dealing additional weapon damage resets the timer to 7 seconds. Dealing damage with all 3 of your weapons without letting the timer run out grants you 'Bait and Switch' for 10 seconds, granting 30% increased damage. Timer is disabled while Bait and Switch is active, requiring a full activation sequence once the buff expires.

Chaos Reshaped

Being in Combat for 12 seconds grants a Stack of 'Chaos Reshaped' for 7 seconds. Maintaining the first Stack for 12 seconds grants a second Stack. Buff can be activated while stowed. For Chaos Reshaped, being in Combat is defined as having either dealt or received damage within the last 5 seconds. Benefits at Chaos Reshaped x1 and x2: • x1: grants 20% increased damage • x2: grants 35% increased damage and grants a periodic burst of healing Healing effect is bugged! While Chaos Reshaped x2 is active: Stowing the weapon or keeping it readied for 7 seconds grants a continous healing effect of 5 HP per second. Stowing this weapon grants the effect for 1 to 7 seconds (cycling, it's complicated), while keeping it readied after activation makes the healing effectively constant. While this healing effect is active, NO OTHER SOURCE OF HEALING CAN RESTORE THE FINAL [~35 to 5] HP OF YOUR HEALTH BAR! This unrecoverable HP segment can only be healed by Chaos Reshaped's 5/HPs effect. For more details, visit the perk description in the Destiny Data Compendium.
