Why You Should Get Battle Scar Pulse Rifle?
You should get Battle Scar Pulse Rifle because pulse burst fire weapons have great range and rate of fire. Lightweight frame weapons give us extra movement speed while we have it in our hands. Having higher movement helps us strafe from side to side faster while we are shooting which is good in PvP. Here’s our list of why you should get the Battle Scar Pulse Rifle:
- Ranged weapon
- Does not take an exotic slot
- Very easy recoil pattern to control the weapon
- Pulse Rifles great in PvE and PvP
- Free movement speed
How to Obtain Battle Scar in Destiny 2
Battle Scar is obtained by purchasing directly from Banshee in the Tower at random via Legendary engrams or by earning faction rank-up packages. Make sure to check this vendor regularly as many new weapons have become available.
PvE Battle Scar God Roll
| Barrel | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Flared Magwell |
| Perk 1 | Perpetual Motion |
| Perk 2 | Kinetic Tremors |
| Origin Trait | Field-Tested |
| Masterwork | Range |
| Mod | Minor Spec |
Barrel: For our barrel, we will use Smallbore. Smallbore provides the gun with +7 range and stability. Having a higher range helps increase the damage fall off of the gun which means how far the bullet can travel before it starts to lose damage. Stability helps us control the recoil of this weapon. You could go Hammer-Forged Rifling if you think you can control the recoil of this weapon since it offers +10 range only.
Magazine: Flared Magwell is going to be our magazine. This magazine increases our stability by +5 and gives us a strong +15 reload stat. with a lightweight frame weapon you are able to get out of a fight quicker to take cover and having a high reload stat helps you get back in there. you could go Alloy Magazine if you want a flat-to-reload increase but you need to dump all of your ammo in order to make Alloy Magazine work.
Column 3 Perk: In this spot we want Perpetual Motion. Perpetual Motion is very strong while moving gain a stack that last for 10 seconds capping at 2 stacks. Each stack provides 10 Stability, 10 Handling, and 10 Reload Speed and can be activated and remain active while stowed. You are getting all of these buffs while you are moving. Perpetual Motion Combined with a Lightweight frame weapon is a must-have combination.
Column 4 Perk: For our last perk we want Kinetic Tremors. This new perk introduced with Lightfall is unique to nonelemental primary weapons. Doing direct damage with this weapon causes a small explosion on the target that deals damage in an area. This perk is very strong since all kinetic weapons have been buffed to do more damage in PvE. This perk does not require precision hits to activate Kinetic Tremors just doing damage will proc this perk.
Masterwork: We want to have range masterwork so we have less damage fall off.
Mod: Use minor spec since it does +7.77% extra damage to red bar enemies.
Conclusion: This gun has very good perks to make it compete with some of the crafted pulse rifles. Pulse rifles have always been good in destiny 2 Battle Scar is great. The gun has some great reload stats and that extra movement speed from being a Lightweight frame will help you get out of any situation.

In PvP you are constantly moving. Getting the free to reload, handling, and stability that Perpetual Motion offers is very good for PvP.
Column 4 Perk: Our last perk is going to be High-Impact Reserves. This perk does 3% to 6% Increased damage when you get halfway done with your magazine. This perk is very strong in PvP if you want to be able to get some quick chain kills after you killed your first target.
Masterwork: We want to have range masterwork so we have less damage to fall off.
Mod: Use Targeting Adjuster for our mod to get some extra aim assist. This will help you land your shots against your target.
Conclusion: Pulse rifles are the current meta for Lightfall. These type of weapons are great for close to midrange encounters and if your aim is true you can even get some kills at longer ranges. If you manage to get this weapon to drop with these rolls please keep it it is very strong in PvP.
