The YouTube video features Raid Cacus discussing newly introduced weapons and perks in Destiny 2's expansion "The Final Shape," with a focus on the new "Salvation's Edge" raid weapons. Key highlights include the **Origin Trait – Collective Purpose**, which enhances range and handling when near allies, and the unique perk **Chaos Reshaped**, which offers significant damage boosts and periodic healing during combat. The discussion covers specific God rolls for optimal weapon setups in both PVE and PVP scenarios, emphasizing synergies between different perks for enhanced performance.
Highlighted weapons include the **legendary strand SMG 'Imminence'**, the **Ark bow**, and the **stasis sniper rifle 'Critical Anomaly'**, with ideal perks like Demolitionist, Chaos Reshaped, Dynamic Sway Reduction, and others for maximizing utility.

Additionally, the **Deviant Legendary Void Glaive** is discussed for its unique rapid-fire mechanic and significant perks like Grave Robber and Reconstruction.
The video concludes with suggestions for weapon grinding, recommending standout items like the strand SMG with a demo plus chaos reshaped roll and the Nullify with heal clip plus incandescent.

In this part of the video, the host, Raid Cacus, discusses the newly added Salvation’s Edge raid weapons in Destiny 2’s “The Final Shape” expansion. He goes over the PVE and PVP God rolls of these weapons, helping players determine which ones are worth pursuing and crafting. Key points include:
1. **Origin Trait – Collective Purpose**: This trait provides bonus range and handling when near allies, faster draw time for bows, and faster charge rate for swords. While not as powerful as other traits like Soul Drink, it still offers beneficial effects.
2. **Unique Weapon Perk – Chaos Reshaped**: Exclusive to Salvation’s Edge raid weapons, this perk grants bonus damage and periodic healing while in combat. It activates after 12 seconds of combat and has a second stage that increases the damage further after another 12 seconds. The host demonstrates the damage increase with specific values, highlighting the perk’s similarity and superiority to Frenzy.
The host emphasizes the strategic advantages of these weapons and perks, particularly for players who engage in prolonged combat scenarios.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the damage bonuses and healing benefits of a specific weapon in the game, comparing it to ‘frenzy’. They note that at chaos times 1, the damage bonus is 20%, and at chaos times 2, it’s 35%, which is significantly higher than frenzy’s 15%. Despite losing stats and reload speed, the weapon compensates with periodic healing pulses.
The speaker highlights that this periodic healing does not require kills to trigger and happens automatically. They deem this perk highly valuable, particularly for submachine guns (SMG) like the imminence, a legendary strand SMG with a 900 rounds per minute archetype. The ideal setup includes perks like demolitionist in the first column for grenade energy upon kills, and chaos reshaped in the second column for damage boost and healing—marking it as effective for both PVE and PVP scenarios. They suggest using Dynamic Sway Reduction for accuracy improvements in PVP.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various weapons and their ideal perks for both PVE and PVP in a game. For an SMG, despite a nerf to target lock, it remains strong in PVE with perks like demo plus chaos or enlightened action to boost reload speed and damage. The legendary Ark bow, belonging to the Precision frame 684 draw time archetype, benefits from perks that improve draw time, such as Archers Tempo paired with explosive head or volt shot for consistent activation. For PVP, combining Archers Gambit with perks like opening shot or hipfire grip is recommended. The stasis sniper rifle, critical anomaly, is highlighted next for its aggressive frame and ideal perks, including Quick Draw and opening shot for PVP, with a focus on improving range and choosing suitable magazines for PVE and PVP scenarios.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various weapon perks and their potential benefits primarily focusing on handling, accuracy, and specific effectiveness in PVE and PVP scenarios. Key perks highlighted include Rampage, Rewind Rounds, Chill Clip, and Reconstruction, with Reconstruction being particularly notable for PVE due to its exceptional performance. The speaker also touches on snapshot sights and quick-draw for PVP, and Firing Line, Headstone, and Bait and Switch for big damage in PVE. Moving onto the Nullify solar pulse rifle, it features a new heavy burst damage archetype, with key perks like Firefly, Demolitionist, Subsistence, Heal Clip, and Rapid Hit discussed for their respective scenarios. Overall, the discussion centers around optimizing weapon loadouts for different gameplay styles.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses optimal weapon rolls for PVP and PVE play. They mention the combination of Heal Clip and Multi-Kill Clip as a potent PVP roll, providing a damage boost and healing upon reloading. For PVE, the combo of Heal Clip and Incandescent is highlighted as a potential God roll due to its effectiveness in normal-level content.
The speaker then shifts focus to the forthcoming Deviant Legendary Void Glaive, noting its uniqueness as a rapid-fire glaive (80 rounds per minute). They delve into perk options, emphasizing Grave Robber for its melee reload capability and Reconstruction being featured on a glaive for the first time. Unstoppable Force is discussed for its projectile damage boost when blocking, and Close to Melee is noted for enhancing melee damage after a projectile hit. Other perks like Chaos Reshaped and Chain Reaction are also mentioned as viable options depending on playstyle.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on discussing the glaives and a new weapon called the summon bottom. It emphasizes that while glaives were once highly effective, they could potentially become usable again with some adjustments. The new weapon, an Ark sword belonging to the wave frame sword archetype, is highlighted for its unique heavy attack that sends a wave-like grenade launcher attack along the ground, making it effective for ad clearing and damage.
Key perks and attributes of the sword are reviewed, including desirable blade options like honed or Jagged Edge for damage improvement and guard choices with enduring guard being preferred. Main stat perks like unrelenting (for health recovery) and Relentless strikes (especially good for PVE) are mentioned. The second column of perks includes vorpal, One for All, Surrounded, Whirlwind blade, bait and switch, chain reaction, and Chaos reshaped. Chaos reshaped is noted for potentially providing the highest damage increase, though it requires significant setup.
For optimal perk combinations, relentless paired with Whirlwind or bait and switch, and possibly Chaos reshaped, are recommended. For PVP, the sword does not offer anything exceptional and lacks eager Edge. The origin trait’s importance for this sword is stressed. The segment concludes by comparing these weapons to previous raid weapons, stating that earlier raid weapons like forbearance were significantly better.
00:18:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker highlights some valuable items worth grinding for in Destiny 2. They emphasize two standout weapons: an SMG with a demo plus chaos reshaped roll, particularly useful for strand builds and discounted armor mods, and the nullify with heal clip plus incandescent for its unique damage archetype and PvP potential. They also mention the critical anomaly sniper rifle, which might outperform the succession sniper rifle due to better perks like bait and switch. While the remaining three new raid weapons are decent, they are not considered essential to craft. The video concludes with a request for viewers to rate, share, and subscribe for more Destiny 2 content, and follow the speaker on Twitter for updates.
