In the video, Rick Cacus delves into the process and benefits of crafting the new Aberrant Action special sidearm in Destiny 2, introduced with Act Two of Episode 1 Echo. Rick successfully navigates the initial confusion over Echo engrams and the focusing node by progressing through weekly quests and utilizing specimen quests, ultimately unlocking this potent weapon with the help of deepsite harmonizers. The utility of the rocket-assisted frame sidearm, particularly in PvE, is emphasized through its comparison with other sidearms like Call and Indebted Kindness. Key perks such as Heal Clip, which heals upon reloading after a kill, and Incandescent, which spreads scorch damage, are highlighted for their synergy with solar builds. To maximize these benefits, enhancing reload speed via flared Magwell and a reload speed Masterwork is suggested. The speaker also notes the seasonal artifact perks, specifically Unstopped Sidearm and Overcharged Armory, which bolster the sidearm's effectiveness, making Aberrant Action one of the best weapons currently available in the game and a top PvE choice until the next update.

He emphasizes that this weapon is possibly one of the best in the game.

In this part of the video, the speaker highlights the value of the rocket-assisted frame sidearm in Destiny 2, especially within PVE. The focus is on comparing the newly craftable aberant action sidearm to the popular call and indebted kindness sidearms, noting that the aberant action is easier to acquire due to being a seasonal weapon. Key perks discussed for the aberant action include heal clip, which allows players to heal themselves and allies upon reloading after a kill, and incandescent, which spreads scorch damage to nearby enemies, synergizing well with solar builds. The speaker also mentions enhancing reload speed through flared Magwell and a reload speed Masterwork to maximize the benefits of heal clip.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the benefits of using a weapon with the ‘Heal Clip’ and ‘Incandescent’ perks, emphasizing the ability to achieve consistent heal clip activations due to Scorch kills counting as weapon kills. The speaker notes that while this combination results in excellent performance with constant healing and scorching, it can cause ammo depletion, thus recommending the use of special ammo finders and solar scavengers, particularly highlighting a new seasonal artifact perk that reduces their cost.
The video also covers the advantages of current seasonal artifact perks, particularly the improved ‘Aberant Action’. The speaker highlights the unstopped sidearm perk and the logic reductor perk that increases damage against Vex with a pool of Vex milk. The ‘Overcharged Armory’ perk, which boosts weapon damage in certain activities, alongside the newly introduced ‘Solar Fulmination’ perk that enhances ignition damage and radius, are recommended to further boost weapon performance. The speaker concludes by advising viewers to craft this highly effective rocket-assisted frame sidearm, considering it one of the best in the game.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the benefits of the “Indebted Kindness” weapon in comparison to the “Call” due to its craftability, making it more accessible. The major advantage highlighted is the “Heal Clip” perk, which offers significant survivability by providing a cure effect, making it superior for many situations. This weapon also excellently complements Warlock builds utilizing Ember of Benevolence. The “Incandescent” perk is considered overall better than “Voral Weapon” for general use, despite the ammo management challenge. The speaker concludes by predicting this weapon will be the top PvE choice until the next act in the game.
