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
Slow firing and high damage. This weapon is more accurate when stationary, moving slowly, and aiming down sights.
Best builds
Sustained Heavy DPS for champions and majors. Reload-on-damage perks make every Special-and-Heavy DPS subclass viable.
Community-derived recommendations. Updated after major sandbox patches.
Where it shines
Tier rating for this archetype across major activity types.
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.
Perks
All possible perks per column. God-roll highlighting coming in a future update.
