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

Precision Frame

This weapon's recoil pattern is more predictably vertical.

Best builds

Kinetic damage. Works with any subclass, pick the aspects / fragments that fit the role below.

Close-to-mid sustained DPS. Goes great with melee-loop builds (Liar's Handshake Hunter, Synthoceps Titan) and Voltshot Arc trios.

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.
