Long Arm updated god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

Long Arm has been hailed as a mini Dead Man's Tale in Destiny 2, due to its eerie resemblance to the Exotic Tex Mechanica Scout Rifle. However, the stats and the element it carries are far from those of the Exotic weapon. Long Arm shoots at a lower fire rate from the hip and deals Arc damage when paired with different damage and utility perks.

This article lists the best perks on the Long Arm Scout Rifle for PvE and PvP.

Here is a list of all the Long Arm perks recommended for PvE:

• Arrowhead Brake for increased handling and reduced recoil.
• Flared Magwell for increased reload speed and handling.
• Recycled Energy for gaining energy for the lowest charged ability after reloading on kill.
• Rolling Storm for gaining Bolt Charge upon final blows. The effect increases if the user is Amplified.

Dragonfly is another great perk you can use in place of Rolling Storm for clearing mob groups, alongside Precision Instrument for increased damage against powerful enemies.

Lastly, Redirection is an overall interesting choice for PvE, as you can defeat minor enemies to charge the weapon for higher damage against powerful ones.
