Horror's Least Pulse Rifle guide in Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph
1) How to get it
Horror's Least Pulse Rifle is tied to Scarlet Keep Nightfall's completion. Players will also need to complete the same Strike this week on Grandmaster difficulty to earn the Adept version of the same weapon. However, Scarlet Keep isn't a walk in the park in terms of modifiers and elite champions.
Players will face a total of 18 Solar Shields, 12 Arc Shields, 16 Barriers, and 4 Unstoppable Champions for the duration of the mission. The burn in the mission is Arc, so enemies such as Hive Knights, Barrier Knights, Wizards, and Hashladun can quickly shut down Guardians in the blink of an eye.
Platinum tier completion is recommended for a guaranteed Horror's Least Adept drop inside Grandmaster Nightfall.
2) Best perk combinations
Horror's Least can fit perfectly in any role, due to being a Rapid Fire archetype. Players can quickly shut down opposing Guardians in PvP alongside increased damage to Champions in PvE.
The perks available across all four columns are as follows:
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake, Fluted Barrel, Chambered Compensator, Corkscrew Rifling, Extended Barrel, Full Bore, Hammer Forged Rifling, Polygonal Rifling, and Smallbore.

- Heating Up for increased Accuracy and Stability after final blows with the weapon.
- Vorpal Weapon for 20% increased damage to bosses and elite enemies.
The god roll on Horror's Least for Destiny 2 PvP is as follows:
- Corkscrew Rifling for Stability, Handling, and Range.
- Accurized Rounds for increased Range.
- Perpetual Motion for Stability, Handling, and Reload Speed while in motion.
- Kill Clip for 33% increased damage after reloading on kill.
Horror's Least is known for being a niche for many players, solely because of other Pulse Rifles such as No Time to Explain, Messenger, Peace of Mind, and more.
However, a high fire rate and increased stats with the Adept version and mods can add a lot to its potential in both game modes.
