Qullim's Terminus (Harrowed) god roll & best perks

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-SingleAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing groups of Minor adds in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty. Qullim's Terminus (Harrowed) is a high-impact LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "highest total damage without losing that much DPS, also stagger intrinsic". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Unstoppable, ×0.8 accuracy cone size and ×0.83 accuracy cone growth when moving 2.8m/s or less (crouch walking speed) as per the Destiny Data Compendium. The recoil direction is right of vertical but pretty tight so you could improve recoil control or look to boost Stability to help hit crits, or Handling if you can land your shots. In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve Reload Speed or mag size are the best available. For use against tougher adds, pin the first column Demolitionist generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use. In the second column for damage, Killing Tally gains a stack for each enemy killed up to ×3 to boost damage by up to ×1.3 until you reload or stow or, if you're in a fireteam, Firing Line boosts crit damage by ×1.2 when you're within 15m of two or more allies. Alternatively, Firefly procs a 4m AoE Solar explosion on a crit kill plus +50 Reload Speed for 6s - this counts as weapon damage so can proc weapon traits like Demolitionist with a kill. Aegis ranks the Runneth Over origin trait as B-Tier - in a fireteam, it acts a bit like Clown Cartridge on a manual reload, increasing magazine capacity by 10% for each nearby ally to a max 50%. If you're interested, the lore isn't clear who Qullim was - possibly an Awoken, or a figure from a civilization destroyed by the Hive - who fell during past conflicts with Oryx, but the naming convention matches other King's Fall gear memorialising killed leaders and warriors. 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-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller

pandapaxxy (PvE Controller \ M+KB): Recommended MW: Reload “I get why Bungie had to change Qullim's Terminus from a 450 to a 360, that would make 3 raids that have 450 machine guns. But Bungie also knows that you cannot craft a Commemoration or Corrective Measure. So I feel like it should have been a 450. Nevertheless it is here as a 360 and we have to like it. Arrowhead will max out the recoil direction, and firing line will give you that big damage. I do not feel comfortable recommending use of a 360 in a raid or dungeon for maximum damage, but in a strike I could see it being a solid option.“ (Year 5 S18: Season of Plunder Stasis Machine Gun Heavy Ammo)|tags:PvE, Controller, M+KB

Constructed by @Adamsdown_Boy (PvE PvE-Minor PvE-GroupAdd PvE-EndGame PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for clearing groups of Minor adds in activities rated Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty, particularly with Stasis builds. Qullim's Terminus (Harrowed) is a high-impact LMG, which are rated B-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis Spreadsheet​, who says "highest total damage without losing that much DPS, also stagger intrinsic".

In the magazine perk slot, perks that improve Reload Speed or mag size are the best available. Qullim's Terminus (Harrowed) can be used for add clear with Stasis builds, perhaps supporting a double special loadout. For that, Demolitionist generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills and an instant magazine refill on grenade use. In the second column, Headstone generates a Stasis crystal on a crit kill or Crystalline Corpsebloom procs on a kill to provide a 4s buff - kills with the buff active generate a Stasis seeker which travels 3m before spawning a large Stasis crystal - these crystals are weapon-generated entities so can inherit damage buffs, and proc weapon traits like Demolitionist and subclass fragments when shattered for AoE damage.

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Reload] "Qullim's Terminus wins the arms race on style points alone. Where it struggles is a slow Reload with little in the perk pool that can effectively mitigate this. Firefly and Ensemble can do some heavy lifting here - and Stats for All is beneficial for Reload once again, though even 100 Reload on an LMG pails in comparison to options like Demolitionist, Reconstruction, Auto-Loading Holster that don't ruin the flow of combat. My recommendation for Qullim's as a result is unfortunately tied to builds that have the ability to force a reload, using this LMG as a "glass cannon" style, investing into Heating Up / Killing Tally to benefit from recoil and stability boosts, and completely clear a room before needing to initiate a reload. Firefly and Headstone are neat, though you'll find yourself activating them far less frequently than you'd think - LMGs don't shine in their precision capabilities." tags:pve

Inspired by DMB PvE Podcast 32. PvE first-choice roll for Stasis builds in end-game content. The Origin Perk is aimed at playing with a fireteam - the larger, the better your magazine size after reload will be. The only High-Impact Stasis LMG available as at v6.2.0.6, but comparing to other HIs, the stats are a mixed bunch. It's slow-firing, so you should be able to control the recoil with extra stability from the barrel choice. Tactical Mag and Flared Magwell are both good choices in the mag slot. Treat this as a heavy Scout Rifle for dealing with beefier adds and choose your traits accordingly - Stats For All or Heating Up add significant gunfeel boosts, or Unrelenting helps with health regeneration. For Stasis subclasses, Headstone provides a starting point for boosting abilities, crowd control or gaining damage reduction. Recommended MW: Stability, with a damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.

Go all-in for mag size with Extended Mag to boost the benefits from the origin perk to get you close to 100 shots without reloading. Stats for All helps with gunfell and for when you finally do need to reload, but the real joy is in the Swiss-Army knife benefits of Killing Tally - three kills gets you a 30% damage buff with no time limit for the rest of the (huge) magazine or until stowed - better than either Firing Line or Focused Fury can offer - good for ripping through Minor adds, burst damage against Majors or even sustained damage against Bosses. Recommended MW: Stability, with a Backup Mag mod.
