Qua Nilus II god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

The Qua Nilus II is an Adaptive Framed Strand Submachine Gun in Destiny 2, added alongside the vast loot pool of The Edge of Fate. Despite being of the Adaptive archetype family, players will be pleased to know that the Qua Nilus II fires at 900 rounds per minute, a pairing that is pretty rare in the game. Regardless, a gear piece like this must offer some of the best perks to even be considered a part of someone's arsenal.

Luckily for SMG lovers, the Qua Nilus II can be a solid addition to their roster. This article lists the best perks on the new Strand SMG for PvE and PvP.

Qua Nilus II PvE god roll guide in Destiny 2

Here is a list of perks recommended on the Qua Nilus II for Destiny 2 PvE:

• Arrowhead Brake for reduced recoil and increased Handling.
• Flared Magwell for increased reload speed and Stability.
• Slice, for severing targets on hit after casting a Class ability.
• Hatchling for spawning a Strand threadling with precision or rapid kills.

For melee builds, the Proximity Power and Swashbuckler are recommended as alternatives. However, if you do not get Hatchling, Dragonfly will work wonders as well.

Slice is very much a priority here, as getting the most Strand synergy out of anything will be better for your build and primary weapon.
