The Subjunctive SMG is one of the returning weapons from Season of the Undying that Destiny 2 players can grind for in Season of the Wish. Its refreshed perk pool has a few new things to offer, including some excellent options for PvE.
Destiny 2 Players Point Out Problem With Weapon Crafting
With Season of the Wish underway, a keen-eyed Destiny 2 player discovers a significant issue with weapon crafting in the looter shooter.
While this SMG might pale in comparison to some other more popular picks, it still does its job well enough to warrant some vault space, especially if players like the weapon's design and feel. Here are a few god rolls to consider when farming for the Subjunctive.
Best Subjunctive SMG Perks
Subjunctive is a 900 RPM SMG that's catered more toward the PVE side of Destiny 2. Its poor range makes it less than ideal for gunfights in the Crucible, and very few of its perks can help it win fights against other Guardians. On the bright side, it can melt PvE combatants relatively quickly, especially those that are weak to Arc damage.
Subjunctive SMG God Rolls | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Role | First Column | Second Column | Third Column | Fourth Column | Masterwork |
Add-Clear | Hammer-Forged Rifling | Accurized Rounds | Stats For All | Voltshot | Range |
Ability Spam | Fluted Barrel | Any | Grave Robber | Swashbuckler/Golden Tricorn | Handling |
Voltshot is an easy pick when it comes to primary weapons. Its damage potential against groups and single targets is excellent thanks to how Jolt works, and Subjunctive's high RPM means it can trigger chain lightning bolts more frequently. Pair this with Stats For All to get massively increased stats for as long as there are at least three targets on the screen. For this roll, it's best to max out the weapon's range so it can reach targets without suffering from damage falloff.
For players who are looking to make an ability-focused build, they can use a Subjunctive with Grave Robber and Swashbuckler. This roll won't provide ability energy like a weapon with Pugilist, but it works in tandem with low-cooldown builds by essentially eliminating the need to reload while gaining a ~33% bonus to bullet damage. Hunters with Combination Blow can easily take advantage of such a perk roll, though the other classes should be able to do the same if they use the right Exotic armor pieces.
Golden Tricorn is a good alternative to Swashbuckler, especially since it provides a bigger damage boost when fully stacked. However, this will limit players to using an Arc subclass as it requires ability kills of the same element as the weapon.
