  • Perk two: Vorpal Weapon / One-Two punch

Taking the weapon into PvE activities, the Pugilist One-Two Punch perk combination is effective for melee builds such as the Banner of War Titan or the Prismatic Hunter.

In addition to complementing the build, these two perks synergistically enhance each other and greatly increase the damage output of your melee ability, while also providing a significant amount of uptime.

PvP Good Rolls

If you plan on using the Perfect Paradox in the Crucible, the combination of Threat Detector and Opening Shot is highly effective. Alternatively, Trench Barrel can be substituted for Opening Shot, especially in close-range battles.

In addition to this weapon, Destiny 2 The Final Shape also offers remarkable options such as the No Hesitation Auto Rifle and the Still Hunt Exotic Sniper Rifle, making them valuable assets to your collection.
