SpaceMonkey (PvE): "One of my all-time favorite PvP guns and it can get the exact roll that it used to. For PvE it's a little less exciting, but it's a perfectly decent arc pulse workhorse, especially with overload pulse being in the artifact this season. With accelerated assault you don't really need anything from the perk 1 column, so it's just kinda whatever you want there." Recommended MW: Reload, Handling, Range.

Inspired by @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects (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 an Arc build. Horror's Least returns (again) as a rapid-fire pulse rifle which as a subfamily are rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic as one of the largely interchangeable pulse rifle families. The frame intrinsic offers a ×0.8 reload animation scalar when starting a manual reload with an empty mag as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are decent by comparison with its peers - you can see at https://d2foundry.gg/w/827835657 how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. The recoil is vertical but loose, so to tighten that up, look for a barrel perk that helps with Recoil Direction, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For Arc synergy and clearing groups of adds in Normal difficulty, in the first trait perk column Trickle Charge refills 10% of the magazine on receiving a stack of Bolt Charge, and 20% when you discharge with a lightning bolt on a target. Alternatively, Supercharged Magazine refills 5% of the magazine every 1.5s while you're Amplified or, after you sprint when Amplified to gain Speed Booster this accelerates to 5% every 0.25s while the buff is active, overflowing the magazine to up to ×2 capacity. In the second column, Rolling Storm generates 1 stack of Arc Bolt Charge (2 when Amplified) on a kill, to trigger a lightning bolt at ×10 stacks for both target and AoE damage. You've got a choice of origin traits. You might be lucky and get the rare Accelerated Assault origin trait, which passively refills 10% of the magazine, and boosts damage by ×1.05 for getting 3 hits within a 1.6s window. Otherwise there's Problem Solver, which is very good for PvE when facing yellow bars - 11 hits will apply Exhaust to an enemy, reducing damage output to ×0.9 for a refreshable 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s (12s enhanced) - both effects are also refreshable. There's also Vanguard Vindication which provides up to ×3 stacks on kills within 20s of using a class ability that reduces incoming damage to a max ×0.94 for a refreshable 10s (12.5s enhanced). Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller
