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

Aggressive Frame

Hard-hitting, high recoil. Increases rate of fire after kill.

Best builds

Hunter

Nightstalker

Titan

Sentinel

Warlock

Voidwalker

Close-range one-shot. Pairs with movement-based aspects (Hunter dodges, Strafe Lift Titan, Icarus Dash Warlock) for shoulder-charge style plays.

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.
