Masterwork
Range
One of the main saving graces of pulse rifles is that they’re great for dealing with groups of enemies at long range, and Relentless does this magnificently. Thanks to the combination of Hatchling and Slice, players will constantly cause Strand damage and a severing effect in a huge AoE. Strand is incredibly good for area control, and taking into consideration that Relentlesscomes with Crossing Over, which is similar to the effect granted by thePerk Closing Time, players can opt for having Hatchling instead. Curiously, the weapon also has Firefly as part of its perk pool, so if players want to have extra coverage and an incredible mix between Solar and Strand explosions, they should go with it.
The combination of Keep Away and Headseeker has always been powerful, but now, with this Strand High-Impact Frame Pulse Rifle, they shine brighter than ever. Maximizing range and control with Chambered Compensator, as well as ammo supply with Appended Mag is the way to go. Players also choose Ricochet Rounds instead of Appended Mag, since pulse Rifles Greatly benefit from this type of Magazine, more so for enclosed PvP scenarios likeCirrus Plaza and The Burnout.
How To Get Relentless In Destiny 2
It is important to mention that Relentless currently has 5 different versions. The originalKinetic versionfromSeason of the Wish, then the four different versions that came with Rite of the Nine: Relentless, Relentless (Adept), and the Holofoil (Shiny) versions of them both. There’s also a Curated Roll version of the weapon that will be granted to players once they complete their first Rite of the Nine quests, which comes with Headseeker and Keep Away as primary perks.
Players can get more of these weaponsby attuningand completing the Prophecy Dungeon while it’s on Rite of the Nine rotations, or simply by exchangingNonary Manifold(250) for a chance to get one of these weapons. The Adept and Holofoil versions can drop anywhere, but players have higher chances of getting those by completing the higher tiers of difficulty (Eternity and Ultimatum).
