Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing add groups in activities rated Normal difficulty, particularly with Arc subclasses. The updated Oversoul Edict is a Lightweight pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ as "essentially just a worse high-impact auto". The frame intrinsic offers built-in anti-Overload, and +20 to the hidden Mobility stat and ×1.0625 base movement speed as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are decent by comparison with its peers - you can see the stats at https://destiny.report/w/578105049/oversoul-edictand hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/578105049 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The recoil is left and quite 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 any of the combat effect mags works or go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For groups of adds, synergising with arc builds, in the first trait perk column for double damage perks, 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. 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, or Eddy Current boosts Handling with a ×0.95 animation scalar and +20 Reload Speed with a ×0.95 animation scalar for 3s after sprinting for 1.5s, which is all applied instantly with +60 to Reload Speed when Amplified. There's also Demolitionist to generate chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use. In the second column, Gear Shift provides up to ×5 stacks for 15s on reloads following a weapon kill or becoming Amplified, providing up to max ×1.35 damage. The Cursed Thrall origin trait synergises well with melee builds - killing an enemy with a melee will proc a 4.5m radius Cursed Thrall AoE explosion for 7.5s (8.5s enhanced) on the next weapon kill. If you're interested, an edict is an official order or decree issued by an authority. So the name implies that the weapon acts as a manifested extension of the Hive Oversoul's power, enforcing the absolute, violent decree of the Hive gods. 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

Inspired by @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing individual Minor adds or tougher enemies in activities rated Normal, Hard and Very Hard difficulty, particularly with Arc subclasses. The updated Oversoul Edict is a Lightweight pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ as "essentially just a worse high-impact auto".

For single target damage, synergising with arc builds, in the first trait perk column, 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, or Eddy Current boosts Handling with a ×0.95 animation scalar and +20 Reload Speed with a ×0.95 animation scalar for 3s after sprinting for 1.5s, which is all applied instantly with +60 to Reload Speed when Amplified. For damage, Jolting Feedback applies Arc Jolt after 14 hits (13 when enhanced and 9 when amplified) to tougher enemies who can survive the weapon damage, triggering chain lightning on further hits for both target and AoE damage. The Cursed Thrall origin trait synergises well with melee builds - killing an enemy with a melee will proc a 4.5m radius Cursed Thrall AoE explosion for 7.5s (8.5s enhanced) on the next weapon kill.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 79 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1qz5FD88RfmGHDjedV6nGo?si=7e1c1558ecea4f1c) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. First-choice PvE pick for Arc synergy add-clear against Minor Spec enemies in general content. Barrel and Mag re-shapeable. Oversoul Edict offers the usual rapid-fire intrinsic 20% faster reload animation when the mag is empty and middling stats by comarison with energy slot peers. Controlling the recoil direction means Arrowhead Brake is the best barrel perk, taking it to an almost not terrible 79. Take your choice of rounding out some of the gunfeel stats with Flared Magwell, or any of the combat effect magazine perks. In the first trait column as the support perk, Enlightened Action will take the base handling to 82 and reload speed to 84 within two bursts, if every shot hits. This will mean a fast reload to proc Voltshot after a kill to apply Jolt on enemies and tie in with your arc verbs. The Cursed Thrall origin perk synergises well with melee builds and is a lot of fun for helping soften up groups of enemies when active. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PPvE-God, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for Arc synergy add-clear against Minor Spec enemies in end-age content. Barrel and Mag re-shapeable. Oversoul Edict offers the usual rapid-fire intrinsic 20% faster reload animation when the mag is empty and middling stats by comarison with energy slot peers.

Take your choice of rounding out some of the gunfeel stats with Flared Magwell, or any of the combat effect magazine perks. In the first trait column as the support perk, Demolitionist is as great as always for regenerating grenade energy and Adrenaline Junkie in the second column as the signature perk lets you use those grenades for a +33% damage after a kill. Maybe not so useful with this roll, but the Cursed Thrall origin perk synergises well with melee builds and is a lot of fun for helping soften up groups of enemies when active.

What these Oversoul Edict (Adept) perks do

Supercharged Magazine

Refills 5% of the magazine (rounded up) every 1.5 seconds while Amplified. Activating Speed Booster increases this rate to once every 0.25 seconds, and allows the perk to overfill the magazine up to double its base capacity.

High-Caliber Rounds

Hits inflict increased Flinch on Enemies. PVE: Tier 1-2 Minors can be repeatedly staggered. Higher Tier Combatants stagger quicker. PVP: Flinch against Players varies based on damage and Weapon Archetype. Flinch increase ranges between 5-10%.

Jolting Feedback

Scoring multiple Direct Hits with the weapon within 3 seconds of each causes the next Direct Hit to apply Jolt. Being Amplified decreases the number of Hits required. Hits needed to activate normally | while Amplified: • Submachine Guns, Trace Rifles: 18 | 13 • Machine Guns: 16 | 11 • Auto Rifles: 15 | 11 • Pulse Rifles: 14 | 9 • Sidearms: 10 | 7 • Rocket Pulse Rifle: 8 | 5 • Scout Rifles, Hand Cannons: 7 | 6 • Swords: 6 | 4 • Glaives, Linear Fusion Rifles: 4 | 3 • Rocket Sidearm, Sniper Rifle?: 4 | 2 • Bows, Grenade Launchers: 3 | 2 • Shotguns, Aggressive Frame Fusion Rifle: 3|1

Eddy Current

Grants the following after sprinting for 1.5 seconds with the weapon readied: • 20 Reload Speed • 0.95x Reload Duration Multiplier • ? Handling • 0.95x Handling Animation Duration Multiplier Sprinting refreshes the buff duration. Being Amplified removes the sprinting requirement and increases the Reload Speed stat bonus to 60.
