  Loaded Question is a high impact fusion rifle, which are rated C-Tier for endgame PvE by @TheAegisRelic tiering spreadsheet https://linktr.ee/TheAegisRelic being "strongest standout for body and ranged QoL DPS and a big step up over other fusions". The frame intrinsic offers built in Anti-Overload, and a ×0.8 accuracy cone size and ×0.83 accuracy cone growth when ADS and moving slower that 2.8m/s - crouch walking speed - as per the https://www.destiny2.science/ Destiny Data Compendium. The stats are good by comparison with its peers - you can see them at https://destiny.report/w/852069910/loaded-question and hopefully https://d2foundry.gg/w/852069910 will show how weapon stats impact in-game performance when the site is back up and running. The Recoil Direction is a bit right and fairly tight, but with only 5 bolts to control, you could look to boost Range with the barrel perk, which helps to a degree with recoil anyway, or to boost your preferred stat. As the battery perk, Accelerated Coils improves charge time by 40ms at the cost of ×0.98 base damage, or Enhanced or Ionized Battery with an Backup Mag mod gets you to 7 or the maximum of 8 shots respectively. High-impacts provide the best boss total damage and DPS among fusions. You can overflow the battery with Overflow which refills the magazine and boosts its capacity to ×2 of base (×2.2 when enhanced), rounded up, on picking up an ammo brick, or Envious Assassin in the first trait perk column, which overflows the magazine to up to ×3 capacity at 10% of mag size per kill with primary weapons and 20% with heavy (12.5%/22.5% enhanced) before readying. Alternatively, Demolitionist provides an instant magazine refill on grenade use and generates chunk grenade ability energy on kills or Auto-Loading Holster refills the magazine 3.5s (3.3s enhanced) after stowing. 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 Problem Solver origin trait is very good for PvE when facing yellow bars - 12 hits (4 bursts) will apply Exhaust to an enemy, reducing damage output to ×0.9 for a refreshable 5s and granting +50 to Reload Speed and Handling for 10s (12s when enhanced) - both effects are refreshable. Otherwise, Vanguard Determination provides up to ×3 stacks that reduces incoming damage to max ×0.94 for a refreshable 10s (12.5s when enhanced), on kills within 20s of using a class ability. If you're interested, "Loaded Question" has a deeper, tragic-comic meaning tied directly to Cayde-6 and his relationship with the gunsmith, described in the lore and the flavour text. 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.
