Adamsdown_Boy written v8.0.0.8 (PvE / PvE-MinorSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): PvE pick for add-clearing minor enemies in end-game activities. Shapeable. Corrasion - the process of mechanical erosion by abrasion - is the arc member of the new meta pulse rifle - it looks good, and is easily available during Final Shape. Base stats are, as you'd expect, poor compared to the small family of peers, and equate to 36.76m ADS range before damage dropoff, 0.39s ADS speed, 0.44s ready and 0.43s stow speed, and 2.12s reload speed. It fires slowly enough for recoil not to be too much of an issue, so you can focus on Handling and Reload Speed with the barrel and mag perks. In the first trait column, Enlightened Action, Eddy Current, Perpetual Motion round out gunfeel stats or - and don't judge Saint to harshly for this - Air Trigger provides Outlaw-like reload speeds just for jumping as you reload. For passive damage boosts, PVE favourite One For All adds +35% damage for hitting three enemies, or High Ground up to +25% for having your feet 1m higher than your enemy's feet. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is extra AoE damage that inherits the pulse rifle's decent damage multiplier and any damage bonus, so the initial explosion can be more damaging than a special ammo Chain Reaction explosion - what's not to love? Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod.

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing add groups in activities rated Normal difficulty, particularly with Arc subclasses. The updated Corrasion is a Heavy Burst pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ as "essentially just a worse high-impact auto". The frame intrinsic offers built-in anti-Unstoppable, fires a 2-round burst and grants ×0.9 flinch when ADS as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are okay by comparison with its peers - you can see the stats at https://destiny.report/w/2126178511/corrasion hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/2126178511 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The recoil is left-ish and a little loose, so to tighten that up, look for a barrel perk that helps with Recoil Direction or, if you can handle it just go for extra handling, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For dealing with add groups and synergising with arc builds, in the first trait perk column, Eddy Current boosts Handling with a ×0.95 animation scalar and +20 Reload Speed with a ×0.95 animation scalar for 3s after sprinting for 1.5s, which is all applied instantly with +60 to Reload Speed when Amplified, or Enlightened Action builds stacks on hits for a refreshable 2s that build after 50 hits (17 bursts) to +50 Handling and Reload Speed (+55 when enhanced). For damage, Voltshot applies Arc Jolt to the next target you hit within 7s (8s when enhanced), after a reload within 5.3s of a kill, for additional damage to the target on further hits plus AoE chain lightning damage on nearby enemies. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is useful for clearing adds - three Minors or one Major or Boss enemy kill will result in a 3m AoE explosion on death, leaving a damaging pool of radiolaria for a few seconds. The damage is treated as weapon damage so inherits damage boosts. If you're interested, corrasion is a mechanical form of erosion where moving elements - such as water, wind, or ice - carry abrasive particles that continuously scrape, grind, and wear away a surface. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.|tags:PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "These weapons in PvP are a slight new breed. They're good with neutral damage bonus but Corrasion also doesn't have that. Corrasion does have great dueling perks out the gate. Eye of the Storm or Enlightened Action both aid the gunfeel in engagements and Perpetual Motion gives you better stats for moving. Focused Fury would be a good neutral damage perk if you can hit crits. You don't necessarily need a kill but you'll probably get one along the way." Recommended MW: Stability.

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing individual Minor adds or tougher enemies in activities rated Very Hard, Hard or Normal difficulty. The updated Corrasion is a Heavy Burst pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ as "essentially just a worse high-impact auto". The frame intrinsic offers built-in anti-Unstoppable, fires a 2-round burst and grants ×0.9 flinch when ADS as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium.

For dealing with tougher single adds, there's the double perk combination of High Impact Reserves, which boosts damage from ×1.121 to ×1.256 as the magazine drops below 50% (55% when enhanced) togeter with Frenzy which, after being in combat for 12s - that's dealing or taking damage - boosts Handling and Reload Speed by +100 and boosts damage by ×1.15 for a refreshable 7.2s. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is useful for clearing adds - three Minors or one Major or Boss enemy kill will result in a 3m AoE explosion on death, leaving a damaging pool of radiolaria for a few seconds.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Bungie beefing up some of these less populated archetypes. Our first / second legendary heavy burst pulse rifle comes with the Echoes. Unfortunately the Corrasion has no good reload perk outside of Perpetual Motion. The other stats are nice but I'm not always in motion to take advantage of it. High-Impact Reserves in the third column is interesting to beef up some damage at the end of your magazine but it doesn't do anything to aid us in getting to the next one. Frenzy does bump up handling and reload if you opt for that and will bump up your damage on top of High-Impact Reserves. Voltshot is a great room clearing perk but without a reload perk it's less desirable." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

Corrasion - the process of mechanical erosion by abrasion - is the arc member of the new meta pulse rifle - it looks good, and is easily available during Final Shape. Base stats are, as you'd expect, poor compared to the small family of peers, and equate to 36.76m ADS range before damage dropoff, 0.39s ADS speed, 0.44s ready and 0.43s stow speed, and 2.12s reload speed. It fires slowly enough for recoil not to be too much of an issue, so you can focus on Handling and Reload Speed with the barrel and mag perks. Unusually, there's a damage perk in the first trait column - High-Impact Reserves, so you can double up damage multipliers in the second column with One For All for an additional +35%, or High Ground for +25% damage for having your feet 1m higher than your enemy's. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is extra AoE damage that inherits the pulse rifle's decent damage multiplier and any damage bonus, so the initial explosion can be more damaging than a special ammo Chain Reaction explosion - what's not to love?

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.0.0.8 (PvE / PvE-MinorSpec / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): PvE pick for add-clearing minor enemies in general actives, particularly with arc fragments. Shapeable. Corrasion - the process of mechanical erosion by abrasion - is the arc member of the new meta pulse rifle - it looks good, and is easily available during Final Shape. Base stats are, as you'd expect, poor compared to the small family of peers, and equate to 36.76m ADS range before damage dropoff, 0.39s ADS speed, 0.44s ready and 0.43s stow speed, and 2.12s reload speed. It fires slowly enough for recoil not to be too much of an issue, so you can focus on Handling and Reload Speed with the barrel and mag perks. If you're looking for a Voltshot roll, then you'll need a reload perk in the first trait column - Perpetual Motion provides a passive boost or - and don't judge me too harshly for this - Air Trigger provides Outlaw-like reload speeds just for being in the air as you reload. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is extra AoE damage that inherits the pulse rifle's decent damage multiplier, so the initial explosion is as damaging as a special ammo Chain Reaction explosion - what's not to love? Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod.

Adamsdown_Boy written v8.0.0.8 (PvE / PvE-MinorSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): PvE pick for add-clearing minor enemies in general actives, particularly for melee builds. Shapeable. Corrasion - the process of mechanical erosion by abrasion - is the arc member of the new meta pulse rifle - it looks good, and is easily available during Final Shape. Base stats are, as you'd expect, poor compared to the small family of peers, and equate to 36.76m ADS range before damage dropoff, 0.39s ADS speed, 0.44s ready and 0.43s stow speed, and 2.12s reload speed. It fires slowly enough for recoil not to be too much of an issue, so you can focus on Handling and Reload Speed with the barrel and mag perks. If you don't already have a decent arc pulse rifle with a melee roll, the Pugilist/ Swashbuckler trait pairing is available for melee energy regeneration and up to +33% damage bonus. The Radiolaria Transposer origin trait is extra AoE damage that inherits the pulse rifle's decent damage multiplier and any damage bonus, so the initial explosion can be more damaging than a special ammo Chain Reaction explosion - what's not to love?
