Nation of Beasts god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Reload Speed. Adaptive Frame(140) Arc Hand Cannon Primary Ammo. "Oh how things have changed. Nation of Beasts used to be the Fakebringer of Destiny 2 giving us Outlaw and Dragonfly all wrapped into one small curated package. Now that Fatebringer is truly in the game and other weapons have been granted Outlaw and Dragonfly (or even Firefly) what sets Nation of Beasts apart? Well, not a lot. It does have access to two very strong AoE perks in Voltshot and Dragonfly, and can increase its damage through Golden Tricorn. Discord pulls ammo from thin air and can help when in lower activities to bypass reloading."

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Stability. Adaptive Frame(140) Arc Hand Cannon Primary Ammo. "There aren’t a lot of hand cannons that see top tier usage in PvP. Opening Shot, Keep Away, and Perpetual Motion in one column, and Explosive Payload and Kill Clip in the other make for a stacked package. Add in enhanced perks and you have a recipe for a super solid hand cannon. Eye of the Storm or Fragile Focus would round out the mix for best perks on a hand cannon, but overall it’s a solid choice. Hard to say if this is stronger than Palindrome and Exalted Truth, but it certainly holds its own. You’ll have to fight some of the weird gun model though."

First-choice PvE pick for minor add-clear in end-game activities, for arc synergy. Shapeable. National of Beasts has average stats in comparison to its peers, but a spicy Raid perk pool to play with. Take your pick of a little extra range, stability or recoil speed for the barrel perk. In the magazine, Tactical Mag or Flared Magwell are both great choices - the difference being whether you prefer an bullets or a slightly faster reload. Use Dragonfly in the first trait slot as the support perk, as your starting point for the satisfying crit kill explosions. For arc synergy, Golden Tricorn gives a 15% damage boost after a kill, jumping to 50% with an arc ability kill or Collective Action is a straight 20% damage bump after collecting an Elemental pickup - although it'll proc on any pickup type, you should be seeing plenty of Ionic Traces to play with. If you're a grenade-heavy player, the Explosive Pact origin trait adds in some nice gunfeel boosts too. Recommended MW: Range, Stability or Handling, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for minor add-clear in end-game activities, particularly for arc synergy. Shapeable. National of Beasts has average stats in comparison to its peers, but a spicy Raid perk pool to play with. Take your pick of a little extra range, stability or recoil speed for the barrel perk. In the magazine, Tactical Mag or Flared Magwell are both great choices - the difference being whether you prefer an bullets or a slightly faster reload. If you want to build into Voltshot as your second trait column signature perk, you'll want your first column support perk to boost reload speed as much as possible. The new Eddy Current sounds like it might do the job, but you'll have to sprinting for 3s after a kill to proc it, which gives you a tiny window to reload of 0.8s or less, so good old Perpetual Motion is probably the more reliable option. If you're a grenade-heavy player, the Explosive Pact origin trait adds in some nice gunfeel boosts too.
