  Duty Bound returns (again) still as an adaptive auto rifle which as a subfamily are rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic as one of the largely interchangeable auto rifle families. The frame intrinsic offers no bonuses beyond "being well-rounded and reliable" as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are decent by comparison with its peers - you can see at https://d2foundry.gg/w/260532765 how the weapon stats impact in-game performance. The recoil is loose and to the right, so to tighten that up, look for a barrel perk that helps with Recoil Direction, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For clearing groups of adds in general content, Fourth Time's the Charm in the first trait perk column generates 2 shots from thin air after 4 crits within 2s (3s when enhanced) of each other to help keep uptime on Onslaught which, while it doesn't increase total damage per magazine, as you ramp up to the maximum 3 stacks does increase raw DPS for a refreshable 4.5s per kill (5s enhanced), by increasing RPM from 600 to a max of around 960. Alternatively, the reworked Rampage stacks up to ×3 on kills for ×1.331 damage for a refreshable 4.5s (5s when enhanced), with the stacks now decaying one at a time. You've got a choice of origin traits. You might be lucky and get the rare Accelerated Assault origin trait, which passively refills 10% of the magazine, and boosts damage by ×1.05 for getting 3 hits within a 1.6s window. Otherwise there's Problem Solver, which is very good for PvE when facing yellow bars - 12 hits will apply Exhaust to an enemy, reducing damage output to ×0.9 for a refreshable 5s and grant +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s (12s enhanced) - both effects are also refreshable. There's also Vanguard Vindication which provides up to ×3 stacks on kills within 20s of using a class ability that reduces incoming damage to a max ×0.94 for a refreshable 10s (12.5s enhanced). Recommended MW: Handling or Stability, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds - and don't forget to check any available seasonal fragile mods.

The recoil is loose and to the right, so to tighten that up, look for a barrel perk that helps with Recoil Direction, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For clearing groups of adds in general content, in the first trait perk column Bewildering Burst procs for 6s (7s when enhanced) after finishing a reload following a kill, and then on the next hit launches a kinetic flashbang above the target that does damage and disorients enemies within 9m for 3.5s. Alternatively, to help with general gunfeel, Enlightened Action builds stacks on hits for a refreshable 2s, that build after 50 hits to +50 Handling and Reload Speed (+55 when enhanced). In the second column, the reworked Rampage stacks up to ×3 on kills for ×1.331 damage for a refreshable 4.5s (5s when enhanced), with the stacks now decaying one at a time. You've got a choice of origin traits.

  This weapon is pretty well-supported by the artifact this season but I still just don't see it being better than many weapons it is competing against. Adhesive Ordnance is nifty at least." Recommended MW: Reload, Range, Handling.
