Conspiracy Honed god roll & best perks

Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/@cammycakesgaming (PvP PvP-Duel PvP-God M+KB Controller): God-roll PvP for duelling. Welcome to the new Rapid-Fire Sniper meta, for as long as this goes unnerfed, anyway. Conspiracy Honed is, right now, an S-Tier sniper and objectively the best in the game. It's a Heat weapon - which means you get an ersatz Reconstruction for free from the passive cooling - with a rapid-fire fire rate. The Dynamic Heat frame means that when you cancel a manual vent at <12.5%, you get ×0.5 heat generation for 6s or until stowed. The @hugowo_ spreadsheet at https://www.destiny2.science/, shows the TTK - at base, body damage is 113.11 and crits are 389.22. The stats are excellent compared to other rapid fire snipers, especially with enhanced perks. You can see the in-game effect of stat changes at https://d2foundry.gg/w/4062069077 for yourself, once the formulas have been worked out. For the barrel perk, push out the range, even at the cost of a little Handling - if you're using Shrewd Survivor armour the two-piece Reflex Action perk boosts Handling back up, as well as improving Accuracy. For the Battery Perk, the only real choice is Overclocked Heatsink - with this perk alone providing a ×1.02 damage boost, you can kill Guardians outside of Supers or damage resistance buffs with two body shots on 0.433s. The standout god-roll is a T4/T5 with enhanced trait perks, pairing Delicate Tuning, which works like a Heat weapon's mirror to Closing Time, and Opening Shot which together provide 100 Range, 100 Aim Assist and better Accuracy and Handling than any other rapid-fire. If you're lucky, you can also roll Vorpal Weapon and Box breathing on the same weapon - swap to these perks when supers start popping, you'll also be able to one-crit any Guardian in a roaming super. If you're really lucky, for Trials, Headstone in the first column provides another option, to block revives with a Stasis crystal on crit kills. The Imperial Allegiance origin trait is situationally useful if you're near one, two or three teammates, boosting cooling efficiency and damage when heat is >50%, but it's probably better than Accelerated Assault on a sniper - to proc the cooling and extra damage you need to hit 3 times with 1.2-4s between each hit, which is going to be tough. Recommended MW: Cooling Efficiency, with a Heat Generated mod/enhanced mod, or your choice depending on your play style.|tags:PvP PvP-Duel PvP-God M+KB Controller

Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for burst damage against Banes, Elites, Champions and Minibosses in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Conspiracy Honed is a Dynamic Heat frame sniper, which has a rapid-fire firing rate, which are rated A-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being a very interesting high total special weapon damage option. The heat frame is like an extra perk set, first providing a pseudo-Reconstruction, automatically "refilling" as the weapon loses heat when not being used. Additionally, there's an intrinsic ×1.15 damage boost against red-bar enemies and ×1.325 against orange and yellow bars and vehicles, plus a ×0.5 heat generation for 6s if you manually reload when the heat bar is at <12.5% of maximum heat to proc Dynamic Heat Limiter, as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. This is essential to the play loop - you'll initially fire 2 or 3 times (depending on the battery perk, masterwork and weapon mod) to overheat and then proc Dynamic Heat Limiter, to then be able to rapidly fire 7-10 times before repeating until reserves are exhausted. The stats are decent by comparison with other rapid-fire snipers, although max total ammo is lower at 26 - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/3481382332 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance, once the formulas have been worked out. As part of a weapon swapping damage rotation, a barrel perk with Handling makes everything faster. For the heatsink perk, you're looking for something that slows heat generation, as this is how you maximise the number of shots you can fire without overheating. For burst damage, or use in shorter boss DPS windows, there's a double damage option of Vorpal Weapon in the first trait perk column for a provides a flat, always-on ×1.1 damage boost against orange and yellow bar enemies, although if you're in a fireteam with someone generating orbs or you can generate Ionic Traces (which track to you) then Cooling Baubles could be a play to reduce weapon heat by 33% for each pickup. Then either Firing Line for a ×1.2 boost to crit damage when you're within 15m of two or more allies, or Bait and Switch a ×1.3 damage boost for 10s (11s when enhanced) for doing damage with your other two weapons. For the Origin Trait, Imperial Allegiance grants a stack for each ally in 15m up to ×3 to boost both the cooling rate and damage when heat is >50% by up to ×1.105, so ideal for damage in a fireteam. With Vorpal Weapon and Bait and Switch, that's potentially up to a shade under ×2 damage overall each time until you overheat, if all the perks line up. If you're interested, this is modelled on the DLT-19x targeting blaster, the primary ranged weapon for Imperial sharpshooters. Recommended MW: Cooling Efficiency, with a Heat Generated mod or your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

SpaceMonkey (PvE): "At base this is a decent rapid-fire sniper with good dps perks. That alone would have made this a chase-worthy addition to any arsenal. But to top it off this is a dynamic heat weapon, so if you time your reload/second mag dump correctly you can double your magazine size for free, leading to excellent total damage and a DPS value that is truly noteworthy. This is one of the best weapons in the game." Recommended MW: Reload, Cooling Efficiency, Handling.
