Corrective Measure (Timelost) god roll & best perks

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for sustained DPS in a damage phase against a single yellow-bar target in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty. Corrective Measure is an aggressive LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "best balance of DPS and total amongst LMGs, stagger intrinsic good". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Unstoppable, but no other benefit as per the Destiny Data Compendium. The recoil direction is just vertical and quite tight, so you can improve recoil control or look to boost Stability to help hit crits with the barrel perk, or just boost Handling if you can land your shots. In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve mag size or Reload Speed work best for a boss damage roll. For general add clearing, you have a range of magazine refilling perks in the first trait perk column - Rewind Rounds, Demolitionist and Subsistence - to choose from, as well as double damage with Firefly that also boosts reload, Destabilizing Rounds for Void volatility, or Redirection. Similarly, the second column has loads of damage-boosting options to pick from - Killing Tally, One For All, Demoralize and Butterfly all provide something to pair with your first column perks. Aegis rates the Timelost Magazine origin trait as the best in game S-Tier - it provides an additional 1% super energy on kills and, after using your super, boosts magazine capacity ×2 for 21s - this stacks with trait perks that refill or boost mag size, like Overflow and Trickle Charge. If you're interested, a corrective measure is a mechanical or bureaucratic action taken to fix an error or bring a system back into compliance. 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-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for sustained DPS in a damage phase against a single yellow-bar target in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty, aperticularly with grenade builds. Corrective Measure is an aggressive LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "best balance of DPS and total amongst LMGs, stagger intrinsic good".

In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve mag size or Reload Speed work best for a boss damage roll. For grenade builds, there's the classic trait perk combination of Demolitionist which generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use and Adrenaline Junkie which stacks up to ×5 on kills for +20 handling and max ×1.33 damage, with a grenade kill giving an instant 5 stacks, for a refreshable 5s.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "~~Honestly, did we need another void adaptive machine gun? Bungie, you couldn't have made this Stasis or Strand to give some love to them? Commemoration got a refresh and is craftable. Hammerhead released with Into the Light. Corrective Measure was first, yes.~~ But that's now so many Void ~~adaptive~~ frame machine guns. Withering Gaze does top the list as being unique, but Killing Tally and Rewind Rounds will probably be what most players use. I have been corrected. It's now an aggressive frame. Slightly unique but not enough for me. Should have been a different element." Recommended MW: Reload Speed.

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "You do have some interesting options in PvP with Firefly and High-Impact Reserves allowing for some really quick kills and some AoE, machine guns are mostly fine right now but give them a slight nudge or knock something else down and you've got a powerhouse. ~~If only there weren't TWO OTHER MACHINE GUNS THAT ARE EQUALLY AS GOOD.~~ Aggressive Frame, so slightly better TtK but more headshot requirements."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 131 from 5 March 2025 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TAB3PL2u2Qigv2YejzhGJ?si=09c3555ccf5c4dcc) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for sustained Boss damage in both general at-level or better, and in end-game underleveled content. Corrective Measure has returned with a rare frame change - from Adaptive to Aggressive - and is possibly now the strongest LMG in-game. At base, the stats are excellent by comparison with its peers - 47 Range and 15 Zoom equates to 47.28m ADS and 29.55m hipfire, 55 Stability is ×1.1787 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 45 Handling is 0.39s ready, 0.40s ADS and 0.36s stow speed, 43 Reload Speed is a 4.97s reload and Recoil Direction is 85. Base magazine size is 59 (maximum 91), and with 0/1/2/3 reserves mods total ammo is 405/451/496/498 (max 601). The barrel perk can be used to improve the Handling, and the magazine perk can be used to boost mag size to take advantage of the origin trait. For sustained boss damage, the first trait perk column sensible choice is Rewind Rounds - there's every chance you'll get to the end of a damage phase and never have to reload. In the second column, for damage, Killing Tally lets you hold an up to ×1.3 damage boost until reload or stow, or One for All give you a ×1.35 boost for 10s if there are adds around to help regularly re-proc. As a utility perk option, Withering Gaze applies Weaken for 10s to boost your whole fireteam's damage by an effective ×1.15 just for ADSing for 1.5s. The Timelost Magazine origin trait is very strong for PvE - essentially, the Thresh trait perk for free to build your super quickly on kills, and then providing a ×2 magazine size for 20s after your super finishes, refilling the mag from your reserves, making it ideal for boss damage phases. Recommended MW: Handling, with an Adept Backup Mag mod. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller
