Gridskipper god roll & best perks

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing individual Minor adds or tougher enemies in activities rated Normal difficulty, particularly with grenade builds. The reprised Gridskipper is a Rapid-Fire 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-Overload, and a ×0.8 reload animation multiplier when starting a reload with an empty mag as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are pretty decent by comparison with its peers - you can see the stats at https://destiny.report/w/3176697589/gridskipper and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/3176697589 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The recoil is vertical but 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 one of the combat effect mags or something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For grenade build synergy and dealing with tougher individual adds, in the first trait perk column Demolitionist generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use. In the second column, you can use those grenades with Desperate Measures which provides up to ×3 stacks for ×1.3 damage for a refreshable 7s (7.5s when enhanced) for a weapon and then two ability kills or Aggregate Charge provides a stack for each different elemental debuff applied via your grenades up to ×3 stacks, to boost damage by ×1.3 (×1.33 enhanced), with each stack lasting as long as the debuff is active. Otherwise there's Frenzy which boosts Handling and Reload Speed by +100 and damage by ×1.15 for a refreshable 7.2s after being in combat for 12s - that's dealing or taking damage. The Splicer Surge origin trait stacks up to ×3 on a reload after doing damage, offering a max +45 to Handling and Reload Speed with a ×0.9 Reload animation scalar, which lasts until stow. If you're interested, the name has a dual meaning, referring to hacking the Vex Network's digital "grid" in Season of the Splicer but also, from the lore, as a paranoid defence against Vex Wyverns "skittering" and projecting shimmering outlines in the purple "grid" of the night sky. 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

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing groups of Minor adds in activities rated Normal difficulty, particularly with Void builds.

The recoil is vertical but 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 one of the combat effect mags or something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For Void build synergy and dealing with groups of red bar Minor adds, in the first trait perk column there's Repulsor Brace provides a ×0.5 damage resisting Void overshield for 8s (10s when enhanced) after killing a void-debuffed enemy - duration boosted by ×1.5 with Echo of Persistence, or Demoralize which spreads a ~4m AoE cloud of Void Weaken to nearby enemies for a ×1.15 boost to damage for your fireteam for 3s (5s when enhanced) on a crit kill. To pair with that in the second column, Destabilizing Rounds spreads Void Volatility on a kill in a 6.5m radius and provides Volatile Rounds for 4.5s (5.25s when enhanced).
