Numbers come straight from Bungie's Manifest. Stats are 0–100 relative scores in their archetype, not flat numerical damage. Impact is the closest the Manifest gets to a per-shot damage proxy. Actual damage per bullet varies by activity (PvE / PvP / GM / etc.) and isn't published by Bungie, only derived through community testing.

Intrinsic trait

Panic Response

This weapon generates blight as it deals damage. While not firing, blight depletes, and the magazine is gradually refilled. Reload the weapon to convert stored blight into Blighted Seekers.

Best builds

Hunter

Threadrunner

Titan

Berserker

Warlock

Broodweaver

Close-to-mid sustained DPS. Goes great with melee-loop builds (Liar's Handshake Hunter, Synthoceps Titan) and Voltshot Arc trios.

Tiers apply to the archetype, not the specific weapon. A god-rolled B-tier weapon can outperform a bad S-tier pick. Refreshed after each major Destiny 2 balance patch.
