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

A well-rounded grip, reliable and sturdy.

Broodweaver

Precision-rewarding primary. Excellent neutral-game weapon — pairs with any subclass aspect that triggers on critical hits (Knock Em Down, Spark of Beacons, Roaring Flames).

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.
