  Scatter Signal is a rapid-fire fusion rifle, which are rated F-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being a "strict downgrade from high-impact and precision frames for boss damage". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Overload, better total ammo reserves and a ×0.8 reload animation scalar when the battery is empty as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are excellent by comparison with its peers - you can see them at https://destiny.report/w/2558925366/scatter-signal and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/2558925366 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. With 9 bolts to control, look for a barrel perk that helps with recoil control together with any other stat that you want to bump. As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Enhanced Battery plus a Backup Mag mod gets you to the maximum of 8 shots. In the first trait perk column, it's difficult to look past Overflow which refills the battery from reserves and and boosts its capacity to ×2 of base (×2.2 when enhanced), rounded up, on picking up an ammo brick. Otherwise Enlightened Action builds stacks on hits for a refreshable 2s that build after 12 bolt hits to a max +50 Handling and Reload Speed (+55 when enhanced). In the second column for damage, Controlled Burst reduces charge time to ×0.9 and boosts damage by ×1.2 for 2s (2.5s when enhanced) after a kill or landing all the bolts in a burst. The Dragon's Vengeance origin trait refills the battery from reserves, and grants +10 Range and +5 Handling with a ×0.975 Charge Time scalar for 11s after reaching critical health or on the death of an ally. If you're interested, the name has a deeper meaning tied to the cosmic communication themes of Season of the Wish and the lead-up to The Final Shape, reinforced by its hexadecimal lore tab that translates to a chilling message about a "churning singularity of shadow and mimicry" where minds orbit its gravity to "bridge communion with a Voice." Recommended MW: Charge Time, with a Charge Time or Backup Mag mod or your preferred choice to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.
