Inspired by @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing bulkier minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Everburning Glitz is a precision frame scout rifle, which are rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic, and provides a ×0.8 horizontal recoil reduction so you can ignore the Recoil Direction stat. The stats are solid by comparison with its peers, and are helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2857870254 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From the @Mossy-Max spreadsheet at https://www.destiny2.science/ base Magazine size is 15 (max 20). As we don't have to worry about recoil direction, on M+KB look for a boost to Handling from the barrel perk, or maybe a touch of extra Stability on Controller and then for the magazine perk, something to help with Reload Speed or a larger magazine. In higher level content or during sustained boss fights, in the first trait perk column, Shoot to Loot picks up remote ammo bricks or orbs from safety, and reloads all your weapons from reserves. There's also the option of Explosive Payload, which boosts bodyshot damage by ×1.15 and crit damage by ×1.094, inflicts AoE damage on enemies within 3m and inflicts increased stagger. To pair with one of those in the second column Kinetic Tremors emits three 6m AoE kinetic shockwaves after 5 crit hits (4 when enhanced) within 3s of each other, which are treated as weapon damage and inherit damage boosts so also proc weapon effects picking up ammo bricks and power orbs with Shoot to Loot. For the Origin Trait, there's Problem Solver, which is very good for PvE when facing yellow bars - 7 hits will apply Exhaust to an enemy, reducing damage output to ×0.75 for a 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s (12s when enhanced) - both buffs are refreshable. There's also Vanguard Vindication to provide up to ×3 stacks of ×0.98/0.96/0.94 damage reduction for a refreshable 10s (12.5s when enhanced), on kills within 20s of using a class ability. Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, 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-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

To pair with one of those in the second column, Ancillary Ordinance builds up to ×5 stacks on elemental kills or kills of elementally-debuffed enemies with abilities or elemental weapons - then, on a kinetic weapon kill, a stack is used to spawn a micro-missile on the corpse to track to an enemy within 30m. With no stacks, kinetic kills on elementally-debuffed enemies instantly spawn a micro-missile. For the Origin Trait, there's Problem Solver, which is very good for PvE when facing yellow bars - 7 hits will apply Exhaust to an enemy, reducing damage output to ×0.75 for a 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s (12s when enhanced) - both buffs are refreshable.

Adamsdown_Boy written as at v9.1.5.2 (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing groups of minor adds in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content. Everburning Glitz is a precision frame scout rifle, which are rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic, and provides a ×0.8 horizontal recoil reduction so you can ignore the Recoil Direction stat. The stats are solid by comparison with its peers, and are helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/2857870254 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From the @Mossy-Max spreadsheet at https://www.destiny2.science/ base Magazine size is 15 (max 20). As we don't have to worry about recoil direction, on M+KB look for a boost to Handling from the barrel perk, or maybe a touch of extra Stability on Controller and then for the magazine perk, something to help with Reload Speed or a larger magazine. For add control, in the first trait perk column, Bewildering Burst procs for 6s (7s when enhanced) after finishing a reload following a kill, and then on the next hit launches a flashbang above the target that does damage and disorients enemies within 9m for 3.5s. In the second column, when you're facing a tougher enemy, Kinetic Tremors emits three 6m AoE kinetic shockwaves after 5 crit hits (4 when enhanced) within 3s of each other, which are treated as weapon damage and inherit damage boosts, so any kills will count as a trigger to proc Bewildering Burst. For the Origin Trait, there's Problem Solver, which is very good for PvE when facing yellow bars - 7 hits will apply Exhaust to an enemy, reducing damage output to ×0.75 for a 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s (12s when enhanced) - both buffs are refreshable. There's also Vanguard Vindication to provide up to ×3 stacks of ×0.98/0.96/0.94 damage reduction for a refreshable 10s (12.5s when enhanced), on kills within 20s of using a class ability.
