Starscape Null god roll & best perks

Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for burst damage against Banes, Elites, Champions and Minibosses in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content, particularly with melee builds. As a lightweight frame, you get the +20 Mobility and ×1.0625 base movement speed, but as a shotgun there's a question mark over what the use case is over other special weapon options. The stats are good by comparison with its peers, and they're helped further at Tier 4/5 when barrel and magazine perks are enhanced - see https://d2foundry.gg/w/3868973291 for how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. From @mossy_max's spreadsheet (https://destiny2.science/reserves), base mag size is 6 (max 8) and total ammo is 16. Range is very compressed on shotguns, so look for a barrel perk to improve Handling or, with a view to One-Two Punch, Full Choke to reduce pellet spread a little, to ×0.9625. For the magazine perk, Tactical Mag to bump up the magazine a bit and improve reload speed, or Assault Mag to increase RPM to 85.71 to improve damage output both work. For burst damage, in the first trait perk column, Rewind Rounds refills 60% of hits landed (70% when enhanced) from reserves to save on reloads, or Lead from Gold generates 25% of your special ammo reserves when you pick up heavy bricks so you don't have to worry about special ammo generation. For melee builds, One-Two Punch provides +150% melee damage for 3s for hitting all 12 pellets (10 when enhanced). The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed. Recommended MW: Handling, with your preferred choice of mod/enhanced mod to boost mag size, weapon stats, ammo regeneration, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.|tags:PvE PvE-Boss PvE-MajorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

Inspired by @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-Boss PvE-BossSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE roll for sustained boss damage as part of a CQC Bait and Switch weapon rotation in both general at-level or better, and end-game underleveled content.

For the magazine perk, Assault Mag to increase RPM to 85.71 to improve damage output or Tactical Mag to bump up the magazine a bit and improve reload speed both work. For sustained close-range boss damage in the first trait perk column as a reload option, there's Envious Arsenal to refill the magazine from reserves on dealing damage with both of your other weapons or Rewind Rounds to refill 60% of hits landed (70% when enhanced) from reserves. Both pair well in the second column with Bait and Switch to boost damage by ×1.3 for 10s (11s when enhanced) for doing damage with your other two weapons. The Frame of Reference Origin Trait stacks up to ×5 times on kills, providing up to ×1.07 damage and boosts to Reload Speed and Range for 8s, with the timer pausing when the weapon's stowed.
