What these Lingering Dread perks do
Ambitious Assassin
Reloading after scoring Kills with the weapon overfills the magazine from reserves based on the number of Kills scored.
Overfill amount maxes out at 150% of the Magazine Capacity. Always rounds up. Kill counter persists through stow.
Overfill amount per Kill scored:
• Primary Weapons: 20%
• Special and Power Weapons: 10%
Chill Clip
While at/above 50% of the Base Magazine Capacity:
Direct Hits apply 60 Slow Stacks for 4 [1.5] seconds (8 [2] with Whisper of Durance) to enemies within 4 meters of the target.
Micro-Missile Sidearms and Rapid-Fire Fusion Rifles only apply 40 Slow Stacks.
Only activates once per shot/burst.
Disorienting Grenades
Passively grants -200 Blast Radius, 25% decreased damage, and 15% decreased detonation radius.
Enemies within 6 meters of the explosion are disoriented for 4.5 seconds. Disorient radius cannot be increased using other perks.
Champions and Bosses are unaffected by Disorient.
(Disorient is effectively the equivalent of Arc Blind without any of the elemental synergies and anti-champion benefits)
Players near the explosion briefly lose their HUD and have their screen distorted for up to ? seconds. Duration varies depending on the distance from the blast.
Danger Zone
Increases Blast Radius by ?% and decreased Self-Damage while within 15 meters of 3 enemies.
Effect lingers for 3.5 seconds once no longer surrounded.
Grenade Launchers: 40% decreased Self-Damage
Rocket Launchers: 99.99% decreased Self-Damage and allows for rocket jumping
Demolitionist
Weapon Kills grant 10% Grenade Ability Energy.
Kills with Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Glaives, and Fusion Rifles grant 20%.
Using your Grenade Ability refills the Magazine with a 3 second cooldown.
Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar. Learn more about this mechanic in our explainer blog post on the Clarity website.
Bitterspite
Taking 20 damage grants a Stack of Bitterspite. Maximum of 5 Stacks.
Benefits at 1|2|3|4|5 Stacks:
• 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 Reload Speed
• 0.97x | 0.96x | 0.95x | 0.92x | 0.9x Reload Duration Multiplier
Reloading the weapon consumes all Stacks.
Spike Grenades
Increases Grenade Impact damage:
• 12.12% increase on Special Grenade Launchers
• 12.5% increase on Power Grenade Launchers
Due to the ratio of Detonation and Impact damage being tied to the Blast Radius stat on Grenade Launchers, a lower stat will provide a slightly higher overall damage increase.
Unrelenting
Starts Health Regeneration and restores 65 HP upon reaching 100% Activation Progress with Weapon Kills within 5 seconds of each.
Activation Progress by Enemy Rank:
• Minor Combatants: 34%
• Players: 67%

• Special Weapons: 15% [20%]
• Power Weapons: 10% [20%]
Well-Rounded
Grenade Ability usage and Elemental Melee hits grant 1 Stack of Well-Rounded for 15 seconds. Super Ability usage grants 2 Stacks. Maximum of 2 Stacks.
Each Stack grants 10 Range, 10 Stability, and 10 Handling.
Clarity tooltip editor's note: We're replacing the previous Powered Melee term with Elemental Melee. The former is now exclusively used for perks that require the consumption of a Melee Ability Charge. This note is temporary and will be removed in the future.
Steady Hands
Weapon Kills grant 100 Handling and a 0.825x Handling Animation Duration Multiplier to all weapons for 8.5 seconds.
Additional kills while the perk is active refresh the duration to 6.5 seconds.
