Inspired by @Saint_Kabr, @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd 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. Motif-41 is an area denial frame grenade launcher, which are rated A-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic as versatile for Transcendence gains, applying splash effects, and for total damage. The frame intrinsic shoots five projectiles per shot, forming a field for 5.65s which will damage enemies within it once every 0.25s as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are below average by comparison with its peers - hopefully when the website's back https://d2foundry.gg/w/1685533876 will show how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. First priority with the barrel perk is Handling or Velocity, and then with the magazine perk High-Velocity Rounds is always going to be the option out of the two available. Honestly, the trait perk pool isn't that inspiring but if you're keeping one, Auto-Loading Holster will mean you always have a shot ready when you need it, and Attrition Orbs spawns a power orb after 48 hits within 5s of each other to proc armour mods so, even post-nerf it can still be useful to keep armor mods charged. Unfortunately, the Suros Synergy origin trait isn't terribly useful, granting +30 Handling and ×1.2 flinch resistance for 6s after reloading. Recommended MW: Handling, 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 PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Adamsdown_Boy written as at v9.5.6 (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing groups of Minor adds in general at-level or better content, particularly with grenade builds. Motif-41 is an area denial frame grenade launcher, which are rated A-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic as versatile for Transcendence gains, applying splash effects, and for total damage. The frame intrinsic shoots five projectiles per shot, forming a field for 5.65s which will damage enemies within it once every 0.25s as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are below average by comparison with its peers - hopefully when the website's back https://d2foundry.gg/w/1685533876 will show how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. First priority with the barrel perk is Handling or Velocity, and then with the magazine perk High-Velocity Rounds is always going to be the option out of the two available. Honestly, the trait perk pool isn't that inspiring but if you're keeping one and running a grenade build you have the ability energy trait perk combination of Wellspring which grants 8% (9% when enhanced) ability energy shared between any uncharged abilities on a kill and Demolitionist which generates 10% (11% enhanced) grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use. Unfortunately, the Suros Synergy origin trait isn't terribly useful, granting +30 Handling and ×1.2 flinch resistance for 6s after reloading.
