Gunburn is a new Submachine Gun added alongside the 2025 edition of Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost. While the weapon type is quite popular in all activities, there is never enough weapon for PvE, as buildcrafting is always active within the community. This new Kinetic weapon pairs its own high fire rate with some of the newest perks introduced in Ash & Iron, making it a unique piece in the game.
This article lists the best perks on the Gunburn SMG for PvE and PvP.

Here is a list of perks recommended on Gunburn for PvE:
- Arrowhead Brake for increased Handling and reduced recoil.
- Flared Magwell for increased reload speed and Stability.
- Bewildering Burst for firing a Kinetic disorienting projectile after reloading on kill.
- Kinetic Tremors for an AOE shockwave after dealing sustained damage to a target.
Some notable alternatives include Attrition Orbs for generating multiple Orbs in quick succession. This will be useful in longer activities, such as Raids and Dungeons. The combination of Recycled Energy and Thresh will help the user gather their abilities much faster with kills.
