Terminus Horizon (Adept) god roll & best perks

warlockmaggie (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Yeehaw, the Terminus Horizon is back to round out our rodeo! With new Arc perks as well as the ever-powerful Reconstruction + Killing Tally, there's some solid choices for this High-Impact Machine Gun. I'm particularly looking forward to trying out Triple Tap and Precision Instrument to see how that plays together. This archetype does suffer from an abysmal reload speed and stability, so fix those as you can." Recommended MW: Stability or Reload Speed

Unfortunately, Terminus Horizon is in the weakest subfamily for damage, so you can pass if you already have a well-rolled arc LMG. At base, by comparison with its peers, the stats are good - d2foundry.gg calculates that 64 Range equates to 47.88m ADS and 29.93m hipfire before damage dropoff, 25 Stability is ×1.1112 flinch resist at 100 Resilience, 38 Handling is 0.40s ready, 0.41s ADS and 0.38s stow speed, 24 Reload Speed is a 5.44s reload, Recoil Direction is 74, Zoom is 17, and magazine size is 46 (max 73). With 0/1/2/3 reserves mods, total ammo is 382/427/472/495 (max 495). A little bit of Stability and Handling from the barrel perk are useful to improve gunfeel and control. For the magazine perk, the priority is to maximise mag size, although TBH any mag perk can work. For an arc build, you might use this with double special as a heavy pseudo-scout rifle for general add clearing, using Reconstruction or Triple Tap in the first trait perk column to keep topping off the magazine, or Eddy Current to improve Reload Speed together with Rolling Storm to build up Bolt Charge stacks for single target chunk damage with some AoE damage too. The Tex Balanced Stock is there if you like hipfiring, but the Gravity Well origin trait can be very useful to pick up ammo bricks within 5m on a manual reload. Recommended MW: Handling, Stability or Reload Speed, with an Adept Backup Mag mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Ionic Traces or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God PvE-EndGame M+KB Controller

You might use this with double special as a heavy pseudo-scout rifle for general add clearing, using Reconstruction or Triple Tap in the first trait perk column to keep topping off the magazine, to keep Killing Tally procced for up to ×1.3 damage after three kills for as long as you don't manually reload or stow.

warlockmaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Terminus Horizon is a weapon that has PvP potential, it just has some hurdles to overcome. Once you deal with the Stability, you should have an easier time landing shots and that's where the perks come in. Pick your favorite 3rd column perk (Eddy Current seems like a strong option) and damage bonus and you're in business. Of special note, Killing Tally can 3 crit all Resilience levels at 3 stacks (a jaw dropping 0.33s ttk )@" Recommended MW: Range or Stability
