Lore

Crow feels unease when he touches the active Psisorium. There's a throbbing sensation at the base of his skull. It starts at the back of his head and works its way forward. A compelling aura flows from the Psisorium, ushering buried memories to the surface of Crow's mind.

Uldren Sov felt unease as he stood with fingertips against the Dark Shard. Everything was wrong, but he ignored it. There was a throbbing sensation at the base of his skull. It burrowed underneath and snaked in between his vertebrae: an impulse taking hold in his nerves that he was helpless to follow. A whisper he strained to hear, "Save her."

The Psisorium vibrates against the nails of his ungloved fingertips. Lucent Hive bodies twitch in unfeeling response to the mental scrying. Crow feels the rhythm of alien thoughts sweep over him like wind on stone, catching in ruts and divots worn by time. He sees glimpses, reflections of an end to justify the means.

A voice rattled Uldren Sov's mind, the cool tones of his sister slipping into well-worn grooves as he watched dreams carve themselves into his reality. Lucidity flashed like panicked gasps under thin sheets of ice. His desire taken: wishes turning sour in his mouth as he spoke them, tasting no longer of promise, now only of regret.

If you’re looking to bring this gun to PVE activities, we have a few solid choices for great PVE rolls. In the barrel slot, Smallbore provides a stability and range boost. This makes the weapon easier to control when firing; however, you can always go with Arrowhead Brake if you want a handling and recoil control boost. While both are solid options, I ultimately recommend Arrowhead Brake since the +30 to recoil cannot be overlooked. In the magazine slot, you will want Tactical Mag to increase the number of bullets in the gun and get that sweet reload speed boost.

Recurrent Impact PVE God Roll

  • Masterwork: Stability or Handling
  • Smallbore or Arrowhead Brake
  • Tactical Mag
  • Subsistence
  • Headstone or Frenzy

As for primary perks, go with Subsistence in the first slot. You will rarely use this weapon to damage tough bosses, so Subsistence is a solid pick since it allows you to blast through enemies without needing to reload. It also synergizes wonderfully with our secondary perk choices, Headstone or Frenzy. The former freezes the enemy and lets you shatter them. Doing so effectively turns one enemy into a mini-bomb that kills everything around it, and it works nicely with some Stasis fragments. Alternatively, you can go with Frenzy if you prefer having a static damage boost that doesn’t require any real work on your end to trigger.

Recurrent Impact  PVP God Roll

  • Masterwork: Range
  • Smallbore
  • Accurized Rounds
  • Perpetual Motion
  • Tap The Trigger

For those looking to bring Recurrent Impact into the Crucible, you will mainly want to focus on improving its stability and range. This is because you will only have a few bullets in this weapon, so you want to make the most of them. In the barrel, I suggest using Smallbore as it provides a needed boost to range and stability, making the gun easier to control. To further improve range, get Accurized Rounds, which is a PVP all-star perk that has appeared in quite a few god roll articles before. This is mainly due to the big +9 boost to the range, which allows your duels against enemy Guardians to be more favorable.

When it comes to primary perks, we have some pretty straightforward choices. The first is Perpetual Motion, which nicely increases handling, reload speed, and stability when moving. Yes, the reload speed won’t really matter in PVP, but the stability and handling increase is always welcomed. I’m also going with Tap The Trigger for this, as it essentially ensures you can secure your first kill without expending an entire magazine. The initial burst of accuracy and stability is terrific — especially for a weapon you’ll only use once or twice per match.
