  Zealot's Reward 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 decent by comparison with its peers - you can see them at https://destiny.report/w/2720651699/zealots-reward and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/2720651699 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 gets you to the maximum of 8 shots. For dealing with tougher Minor adds or the occasional orange or yellow bar, in the first trait perk column Subsistence reloads 10% of the battery (20% when enhanced) on kills or Auto-Loading Holster refills the battery 3.5s (3.3s enhanced) after stowing. Alternatively, Lead from Gold generates 25% (35% enhanced) of your special ammo reserves when you pick up heavy bricks, saving on Ammo Generation, Scavenger and Finder mods. In the second column, One For All boosts damage by ×1.35 for a non-refreshable 10s (11s when enhanced) after hitting three separate targets within 3s of each, or Controlled Burst reduces charge time to ×0.9 and boosts damage by ×1.2 for 2s (2.5s enhanced) after a kill or landing all the bolts in a burst. The Photoinhibition origin trait is excellent in PvE, boosting shield, overshield and barrier damage, disorienting for 5s on a shield break, and AoE disorienting enemies in a 5m radius on a matching shield break. If you're interested, he name Zealot's Reward connects to the tragic lore of the fireteam of Rekkana, Yardarm-4, and Lisbon-13, who were seduced by the Black Garden. "Zealot" reflects their fanatical, corrupting obsession with the Garden's power, and the "reward" is the darkness artifacts and power they obtained, before turning on each other. 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.

As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Enhanced Battery gets you to the maximum of 8 shots. For synergising with Void builds and dealing with groups of Minor adds, in the first trait perk column Destabilizing Rounds spreads Void Volatility on a kill in a 6.5m radius and provides Volatile Rounds for 4.5s (5.25s when enhanced). In the second column, Dimensional Shift grants Dimensional Breach on picking up a Void Breach - while active, a kill provides a refreshable 8s overshield. Alternatively, One For All boosts damage by ×1.35 for a non-refreshable 10s (11s when enhanced) after hitting three separate targets within 3s of each. The Photoinhibition origin trait is excellent in PvE, boosting shield, overshield and barrier damage, disorienting for 5s on a shield break, and AoE disorienting enemies in a 5m radius on a matching shield break.

For dealing with tougher Minor adds or the occasional orange or yellow bar, in the first trait perk column Subsistence reloads 10% of the battery (20% when enhanced) on kills, to keep the battery topped up to keep Reservoir Burst procced to provide a ×1.3 (×1.33 enhanced) damage boost when the battery is at maximum base capacity and triggers an AoE explosion on a kill, as well as passively granting +30 to Battery Capacity - the equivalent of a Backup Mag mod.

As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Enhanced Battery gets you to the maximum of 8 shots. For maintaining Weaken during boss damage phases, in the first trait perk column Auto-Loading Holster refills the battery 3.5s (3.3s when enhanced) after stowing. In the second column, Withering Gaze applies the Void Weaken debuff to targets after ADS-ing for 1.4s (1.3s enhanced) for ×1.15 damage for a refreshable 6s for your fireteam, but if the stronger ×1.3 weaken has been applied from Tractor Cannon or Shadowshot, a proc will reapply at the higher value. The Photoinhibition origin trait is excellent in PvE but less useful against bosses, boosting shield, overshield and barrier damage, disorienting for 5s on a shield break, and AoE disorienting enemies in a 5m radius on a matching shield break. If you're interested, he name Zealot's Reward connects to the tragic lore of the fireteam of Rekkana, Yardarm-4, and Lisbon-13, who were seduced by the Black Garden.
