Yeartide Apex PvE god roll in Destiny 2

The following is considered a god roll of Yeartide Apex for clearing mobs in PvE:

• Arrowhead Brake for increased Handling and reduced recoil.
• Flared Magwell for increased Stability and Reload Speed.
• Heal Clip for getting healed after reloading on kills.
• Chaos Reshaped for getting a damage bonus after being in combat. The perk also gains more damage and heals the user depending on the time in combat.

For a more sustained damage approach, the combination of Attrition Orbs and Burning Ambition is recommended.

If you get Incandescent in place of Chaos Reshaped, that will work well for clearing rooms as well. Lastly, one cannot go wrong with extra Grenade energy every time a kill happens, provided by the Demolitionist perk.
