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

Support Frame

Capable of healing allies and hurting targets. Harming targets builds a restorative charge. Hip firing at allies while this weapon is charged heals them. Rapid healing increases weapon damage and spawns Unraveling projectiles.

Best builds

Hunter

Threadrunner

Titan

Berserker

Warlock

Broodweaver

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.
