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

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

[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.
