Precipial is a new Precision Framed Shotgun from Destiny 2's new open world, the Kepler. Note that this weapon is not a Slug weapon, meaning that players do not need to aim for precision shots. Instead, having the suitable perks based on the character's build is enough to properly utilize this Shotgun. Precipial can help with a lot of things, be it clearing mobs, damaging bosses with melee builds, or dominating in the Crucible.
This article lists the best perks for Precipial in PvE and PvP.

The following perks are best on the Precipial, especially for melee builds in PvE:
- Rifled Barrel for increased Range and reduced Handling.
- Assault Mag for increased fire rate and Stability.
- One-Two Punch for increased damage with melee hits after landing all pellets on the target.
- Opening Shot for increased Range and Accuracy with the first shot of the magazine.

For clearing mobs, the combination of Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds is recommended. However, if you do not require the extra survivability from the Repulsor Brace, go for Reconstruction in the third column.
