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

Rapid-Fire Frame

Deeper ammo reserves. Slightly faster reload when magazine is empty.

Best builds

Hunter

Gunslinger

Titan

Sunbreaker

Warlock

Dawnblade

Sustained mid-range DPS. Pairs well with ability-regen builds and elemental verbs that trigger on sustained damage (Volatile Rounds, Radiant, Devour).

Community-derived recommendations. Updated after major sandbox patches.

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.
