Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame 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. Finite Maybe, as an aggressive frame it fires a horizontal spread of bolts which can be difficult to land at any sort of distance. The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/3241217409 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From @mossy_max's spreadsheet (https://destiny2.science/reserves), base mag size is 6 (max 8) and total ammo is 23. You're not going to be able to do much about the horizontal spread, so look to boost handling with the barrel perk, then use the battery perk to boost battery size or reduce charge time. For burst damage, in the first trait perk column, Reconstruction can overfill up to ×2 capacity, refilling 25% of the magazine every 6s (5.5s when enhanced) when stowed or not firing to avoid wasting time reloading. Then, for damage in the second column, Reservoir Burst provides a ×1.25 damage boost when the battery is at or above maximum capacity and triggers an AoE explosion on a kill or, if you're within close range and can land all the bolts, Controlled Burst reduces charge time to ×0.9 and boosts damage by ×1.2 for 2s after landing all the bolts in a burst or a kill. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

For a burst burst damage roll, in the first trait perk column, Lead from Gold generates 25% of your special ammo reserves when you pick up heavy bricks, so you can save on special ammo finders and scavengers. Then, for damage in the second column, if you're within close range and can land all the bolts, Controlled Burst reduces charge time to ×0.9 and boosts damage by ×1.2 for 2s after landing all the bolts in a burst or a kill.

Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for sustained damage for boss DPS in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Finite Maybe, as an aggressive frame it fires a horizontal spread of bolts which can be difficult to land at any sort of distance. The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/3241217409 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance.

For burst damage, in the first trait perk column, Reconstruction can overfill up to ×2 capacity, refilling 25% of the magazine every 6s (5.5s when enhanced) when stowed or not firing to avoid wasting time reloading. Then, for damage in the second column, Bait and Switch boosts damage by ×1.3 for 10s (11s when enhanced) for doing damage with your other two weapons. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed.

Adamsdown_Boy written as at v9.1.5 (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for tougher adds, Banes and Elites in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with solar builds. Finite Maybe, as an aggressive frame it fires a horizontal spread of bolts which can be difficult to land at any sort of distance. The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/3241217409 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From @mossy_max's spreadsheet (https://destiny2.science/reserves), base mag size is 6 (max 8) and total ammo is 23 (max 23). You're not going to be able to do much about the horizontal spread, so look to boost handling with the barrel perk, then use the battery perk to boost battery size or reduce charge time. For aggressive add clearing, the fun combination of Discord which grants ×0.75 ADS animation modifier and improves accuracy for 7s (8s when enhanced) after another weapon kill, but more importantly refunds a shot from thin air on kills while active , so you'll not run out of ammo with Incandescent to spread +30 Scorch stacks within 4m on a red bar Minor add kill (+40 stacks within 8m for orange and yellow bars, +45 enhanced) with scorch damage inheriting any weapon damage bonuses. If on a solar subclass, all of the scorch stacks are increased by ×1.5 with Ember of Ashes. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed.
