Legal Action II- Beast at long range:

The Legal Action II doesn’t have the most eye watering stats and perks for a Legendary Pulse Rifle. However, it is one of the best long range Pulse Rifles in Destiny 2 right now. Players will only see damage drop-off after 45 metres. Plus, it has a really great zoom, so it almost looks like players are using a Scout Rifle. The God Roll for the weapon include perks like Arrowhead Brake, Accurized Rounds, Heating Up, and Rampage

No Time To Explain- Still great to use:

The No Time To Explain has never really dropped off ever since it returned to Destiny 2. The Exotic Pulse Rifle has never really seen a massive nerf, and it remains to this day a quite well rounded weapon. With perks like Timeslip which spawn a mini-turret, the TTK of this weapon decreases massively. The catalyst also improves it massively, so The No Time To Explain is definitely worth trying out.

The best in the business
