Nullify (Adept) god roll & best perks

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Nullify will not break the meta but instead slide itself comfortably towards the top. Heal Clip and Incandescent are tried and true options you’ll be seeing a lot of but an alternative healing / damage combo will be Subsistence with Chaos Reshaped. This allows you to bypass reload entirely while still getting damage and healing. Firefly will be a great alternative if you want some explosions / better reload instead of Subsistence." Recommended MW: Stability.

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 Solar grenade builds. The updated Nullify is a Heavy Burst pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated D-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ as "essentially just a poor high-impact auto, but arguably worse due to 4-burst nature". The frame intrinsic offers built-in anti-Unstoppable, fires a 2-round burst and grants ×0.9 flinch when ADS as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are pretty much best in class by comparison with its peers - you can see the stats at https://destiny.report/w/892183998/nullify and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/892183998 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The recoil is left and a little 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 something that helps improve magazine size or reload. The perk pool is stacked, if a little on the large size, with two new trait perks in each column for Moment of Triumph. Of the new ones, Collective Demolition provides grenade ability energy on hits after interacting with an elemental pickup - Firesprites and Void Breaches for 8s, Ionic Traces, Stasis Shards for 4s and Tangles and Arc Elemental Orbs 4s each for pickup and explosion when thrown. You can use the additional grenades to proc damage from Desperate Measures, which provides up to ×3 stacks for max ×1.3 damage for a refreshable 7s (7.5s enhanced) for a weapon and then two ability kills, or Adrenaline Junkie which generates up to ×5 stacks on kills for +20 handling and a max ×1.33 damage, with a grenade kill giving an instant 5 stacks, for a refreshable 4.5s (5s when enhanced). The Collective Purpose origin trait provides stacks on fireteam members within 15m up to ×5 which boost Range, Handling and a Draw Time scalar per stack. If you're interested, "nullify" means to invalidate, cancel out, or effectively reduce something to nothing. 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-SingleAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): "Crucible really makes or breaks some weapons, without consistency perks like Headseeker or Zen Moment, Nullify lacks compared to the other Heavy Burst pulse rifles introduced this season. Rapid Hit and Desperate Measures or Multikill Clip will allow for better consistency and kill chaining but nowhere near the same levels as the other pulses in this newly populated family." Recommended MW: Stability or Handling.

The perk pool is stacked, if a little on the large size, with two new trait perks in each column for Moment of Triumph. Of the new ones, you could pair Demolitionist to generate chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use with Meganeura which builds up to ×3 stacks on crit hits for a refreshable 3.5s (4s when enhanced) for AoE solar explosive damage in a 7.5m radius on a crit kill - the explosion is treated as weapon damage so inherits damage boosts and also procs weapon effects like Demolitionist. The Collective Purpose origin trait provides stacks on fireteam members within 15m up to ×5 which boost Range, Handling and a Draw Time scalar per stack.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 111 from 30 July 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4KO3Yr8AkPRBgKlNmacrGS?si=6dfa9e466dde41a0) with @Saint_Kabr, @ImpetusAlways and @CourtProjects (PvE / PvE-MinorSpec / PvE-EndGame / PvE-God / M+KB / Controller): First-choice PvE pick for add-clearing Minor Spec red-bar adds in end-game content, particularly with solar builds. Shapeable. Nullify offers a stacked trait perk set, in the best pulse rifle subfamily. Base stats are very good and equate to 37.40m ADS range before damage dropoff, 0.39s ADS speed, 0.44s ready and 0.43s stow speed, and 2.05s reload speed. The recoil isn't too bad, if you pace your shots but the handling and reload speed could do with some help from the barrel and mag perks. In the first trait column, Firefly is an additional AoE damage perk that also boosts Reload Speed by 50 on a crit kill. Pair that in the second column with Desperate Measures for up to +30% damage or maybe Chaos Reshaped for +35% damage and healing at two stacks. The Collective Purpose origin trait only works in a fireteam, but offers small boosts to range and handling, which is always useful. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod.

Shapeable. Nullify offers a stacked trait perk set, in the best pulse rifle subfamily. Base stats are very good and equate to 37.40m ADS range before damage dropoff, 0.39s ADS speed, 0.44s ready and 0.43s stow speed, and 2.05s reload speed. The recoil isn't too bad, if you pace your shots but the handling and reload speed could do with some help from the barrel and mag perks. Boss-tier Subjugators have a 20% damage reduction to all non-matching damage, going up to 30% DR to all damage after they "screech". This counts as a "shield" in-game and reacts to shield-based trait perks like Under-Over, which provides a +50% damage bonus. You'll get the same bonus damage to help pierce Barrier Champions. Add in the +35% damage bonus and sporadic healing from two stacks of Chaos Reshaped, or the simpler automatic +15% of Vorpal Weapon for handy additional damage. The Collective Purpose origin trait only works in a fireteam, but offers small boosts to range and handling, which is always useful. Recommended MW: Handling or Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag mod.
