Flared MagwellVeillantif-D is a Micro-Missile pulse rifle which as a subfamily are currently rated S-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic Endgame Analysis spreadsheet in https://www.destiny2.science/ providing "game-warping levels of add clear, nearly 2x damage per brick vs. special ammo HC, forgiving crit multi". The frame intrinsic offers built-in anti-Unstoppable and micro-missile projectiles that track locked-on targets 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/406384293/veillantif-d and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/406384293 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. Look for a barrel perk that improves Handling, Velocity or maybe a bit of Blast Radius, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For burst damage against beefier enemies, in the first trait perk column Air Trigger, passively boosts Ammo Generation by +20 (+30 when enhanced) as well as Reload Speed by +30 with a ×0.8 Reload Animation Scalar, ×0.85 Accuracy Cone Size and ×0.8 Accuracy Cone Growth while airborne (+35 Reload Speed and ×0.8 Accuracy Cone size enhanced). In the second column, for solar synergy, Incandescent spreads +30 Solar Scorch stacks within 4m on a red bar Minor add kill (+40 stacks within 8m for orange and yellow bars, +45 when enhanced), with scorch damage counting as weapon damage so can inherit any weapon damage bonuses. Alternatively, Burning Ambition works better to build Solar ignitions on tougher targets if you have a solar ability to apply scorch initially, otherwise it'll take 3 hits (2 when enhanced) within 2s of each other to apply +20 scorch stacks with +20 added on each additional hit to build towards an ignition. All of the scorch stacks are increased by ×1.5 with Ember of Ashes. The Featherweight origin trait stacks up to ×10 to improve movement speed, or Häkke Breach Armaments passively boosts damage against vehicles by ×1.15 (×1.2 enhanced), turrets and constructs by ×1.3 (×1.6 enhanced) and Stasis crystals by ×1.45. If you're interested, in the "Matter of France" (a collection of medieval legends similar to King Arthur's tales), Veillantif is the legendary, highly intelligent warhorse of the paladin Roland. It's also a nod to the original Marathon game, where the character Durandal makes frequent references to Roland's mythos. Recommended MW: Handling or Velocity, with your preferred choice of mod to boost weapon stats, ammo generation, or elemental pickups for builds.

In the second column, for additional damage, Paracausal Affinity boosts damage by ×1.2 for 6s after any kill of a Light energy type, or Aggregate Charge provides a stack for each different elemental debuff up to ×3 stacks to boost damage by a max ×1.3 (×1.33 enhanced), with each stack lasting as long as the debuff is active. The Featherweight origin trait stacks up to ×10 to improve movement speed, or Häkke Breach Armaments passively boosts damage against vehicles by ×1.15 (×1.2 enhanced), turrets and constructs by ×1.3 (×1.6 enhanced) and Stasis crystals by ×1.45.

Look for a barrel perk that improves Blast Radius, or maybe a bit of Handling or Velocity, and then with the magazine perk go for something that helps improve magazine size or reload. For burst damage against beefier enemies, in the first trait perk column Blast Distributor stacks up to ×5 to provide +10 to your Grenade attribute (+13 when enhanced) per stack on explosive damage to a max of +50 (+65 enhanced) for a refreshable 5s on further explosive damage so you can invest stat points into other armour attributes. You can use solar grenades to apply scorch to build towards Solar ignitions on tougher targets using Burning Ambition in the second column. Without a grenade to prime scorch, it'll take 3 hits (2 when enhanced) within 2s of each other to apply +20 scorch stacks, with +20 added on each additional hit to build towards an ignition. All of the scorch stacks are increased by ×1.5 with Ember of Ashes.
