Sudden Death updated god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

Aggressive Framed Shotguns still carry the bulk of Destiny 2's PvP meta. This specific archetype family can run over a player, one-shotting them from a close distance, allowing users to be aggressive in tight situations. The Sudden Death has been a powerful gear piece ever since Prophecy's launch. However, with the new perks, it carries even more weight in a build.

This article lists the best perks for the Sudden Death Shotgun in PvE and PvP.

Here is a list of perks recommended on the Sudden Death Shotgun for PvE:

• Corkscrew Rifling for increased Range, Stability, and Handling.
• Assault Mag for increased Stability and RPM.
• Repulsor Brace for getting an overshield upon defeating void-debuffed enemies.
• Destabilizing Rounds for spreading Void Volatile debuff on targets.

To damage bosses and elites, get One-Two Punch and Trench Barrel. Threat Detector can replace OTP against bosses, as not all builds utilize melee. However, Redirection can also be a decent replacement in the fourth column.
