Last Perdition

For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.

A randomly-rolled 390RPM Adaptive Pulse Rifle; here we go! If you like Bygones in the primary slot, Last Perdition is right up your alley. It was brought back in Season of the Drifter with random rolls, and it unfortunately kept a pretty baseline set of perks. That being said, it’s still an absolutely terrific Pulse Rifle!

PvP Thoughts#

Lots of resources for this one, including the Destiny Massive Breakdowns podcast. I’ll be quoting (or paraphrasing if I couldn’t keep up :) Kyt_Kucha and Mercules904 quite a bit in here.

• Kyt: “Stability helps your Aim Assist cone recover more quickly. Recoil makes the bursts more linear but it’s not the same thing as having more Stability.”
• Kyt: “Wouldn’t go with a zoom factor of less than 3 because otherwise you feel recoil too much”
• M904: “Accurized Rounds for +10 range, but maybe not if you picked a medium to high zoom scope (go for more Stability)”
• M904: “Remember that Range has a linear effect and Zoom has a multiplicative effect. Rangefinder is 0.1x zoom - be careful of it because it may push you too far. Using it with +2x SPO-26 would be a good combo. If you don’t roll Rangefinder but you do roll a higher zoom scope, you can ignore Rangefinder. If you only have short-zoom scopes, use Rangefinder.”
• CoolGuy’s review: Last Perdition 2.0 In Depth Review - Top Tier Pulse is terrific. Long zoom scopes aren’t recommended because of the increased incoming flinch while ADS and they also decrease Handling which can make the weapon feel more sluggish. Zen Moment is capped out at 66% of Base Stability, which is super high at 66, so we’re going to prioritize that.

For some general slaying footage, ZkMushroom loves his Last Perdition! Here he is on PC - “My Favorite Pulse Rifle” - and earlier on console - “Last Perdition is the Best Pulse Rifle in the Game?". “I don’t like laning with pulses. I know Blast Furnace and Bygones will be better there. I like being aggressive with my pulse and this is the perfect one.”

PvE Thoughts#

When Last Perdition was brought back with random rolls in the Season of the Drifter, it came back with the standard perk pool from Destiny 2 Year 1. We’re looking for classic pairings here.
