Reprised Destiny 2 Shotgun\u2019s incredible perk pool makes it must-have PvE powerhouse BungieDestiny 2\u2018s current sandbox has myriad top-tier weapons vying for Guardians\u2019 attention and Episode: Echoes Act 2 is adding yet another to the pile. Originally introduced with Shadowkeep\u2018s Season of Dawn in 2019, players had to wave goodbye to the Shotgun not long after, when Bungie sunset a large portion of the game\u2019s weapon pool. Now, though, Saint-14\u2019s iconic boomstick is returning with a refreshed perk pool perfect for melee builds. Before we get to the topic of which rolls you\u2019ll want to be on the lookout for, it\u2019s worth noting that Perfect Paradox, like other Season of Dawn weapons reprised in Echoes, won\u2019t be craftable. That means you\u2019ll be at the mercy of RNG if you want to get your hands on the coveted God roll. Best Perfect Paradox roll for PvE The best perks for Perfect Paradox in PvE are: Barrel: Barrel Shroud or Smallbore – Magazine: Tactical Mag – Perk 1: Dual Loader or Pugilist – Perk 2: Trench Barrel, Swashbuckler, or One-Two Punch – Masterwork: Reload Speed or Handling – The lack of definitive options for perk columns speaks to Perfect Paradox\u2019s incredible flexibility. While Bungie clearly intended for the Shotgun to be a powerful accompaniment for melee builds, it\u2019s down to Guardians\u2019 discretion to tailor the gun to their liking. Barrel Shroud and Smallbore provide a bump to Stability\/Handling and Stability\/Range, respectively, while Tactical Mag boasts the best bang for your buck with increased magazine size and modest stat increases. Where choices get tricky are the primary perks. Dual Loader, having been buffed in The Final Shape, pairs well with Trench Barrel, while Pugilist promises better synergy with Swashbuckler or One-Two Punch. As a bonus, guaranteed Origin Trait, Cast No Shadows, compliments both choices, automatically reloading 20% of the weapon\u2019s magazine from reserves after dealing melee damage. Best of all, as a Kinetic weapon, Perfect Paradox will be pairable with Act 2\u2019s Corrasion. Close-quarters combat lovers rejoice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
