Pure Recollection is a new Shotgun in Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate, coming with a brand-new archetype as well. The two-burst Shotguns are unheard of in the meta, and this specific weapon presents itself with a double damage perk combination, something that is a rare aspect in the game. Hence, despite being a new gear piece, it already has some of the most sought-after features for PvE.
This article lists the best perks on the Pure Recollection Shotgun for PvE and PvP. Note that the weapon fires a slug, and not in a pellet spread.
