The Mindbender’s Ambition Shotgun has been a staple PvP weapon in Destiny 2 for a while now. Many consider this to be the one Shotgun you want to have. This guide will tell you the recommended perks that make the Mindbender’s Ambition god roll for PvE and PvP.
Mindbender’s Ambition PvE God Roll
Mindbender’s Ambition is one of the most sought after Shotguns in Destiny 2. Some Guardians consider it to be the best Shotgun players can acquire for PvP. Before we get into the PvP perks, we first have to check out the PvE god roll. Below are the recommended perks for the Mindbender’s Ambition PvE god roll.
PvE Perk Slot 1
Shotguns are known for their high Impact and lack of Stability, Handling, and Range. These barrels will provide some increase in those lackluster areas.
- Smallbore – +7 Range and +7 Stability.
- Corkscrew Rifling – +5 Range, +5 Stability, and +5 Handling.
- Barrel Shroud – +10 Stability and +10 Handling.
PvE Perk Slot 2
Stability is still key along with increasing your Magazine Size in the second perk slot.
- Assault Mag – +15 Stability and +10 Rounds per Minute.
- Tactical Mag – +5 Stability, +5 Reload Speed, and +10 Magazine.
- Appended Mag – +20 Magazine.
PvE Perk Slot 3
With three possible perks to get, Threat Detector will be the one you are looking for since Shotguns are used in close proximity.
- Slideshot – Sliding partially reloads this weapon’s magazine and temporarily boosts range and stability.
- Threat Detector – Increased reload, stability, and handling when enemies are in close proximity.
- Pulse Monitor – Auto-reloads part of the magazine when the wielder is critically wounded.
PvE Perk Slot 4
The final perk slot for PvE has three possible rolls. Rampage is the most important one you are looking for.
- Rampage – Kills with this weapon temporarily grant increased damage. Stacks 3x.
- Quickdraw – This weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast.
- Auto-Loading Holster – The holstered weapon is automatically reloaded after a short period of time.
Mindbender’s Ambition PvP God Roll
While the Mindbender’s Ambition shines in PvE, PvP is where you will want to use it the most if you get the correct perks. Here are the recommended PvP perks for Mindbender’s Ambition.
PvP Perk Slot 1
Range is what you are looking for in your barrel, and these will provide that.
- Smallbore – +7 Range and +7 Stability.
- Rifled Barrel – +10 Range and -15 Handling.
- Full Choke – Tightened barrel. Reduces projectile spread when aiming down sights at the cost of precision damage.
PvP Perk Slot 2
Range or Stability will be great for the second perk slot. I believe Assault Mag will be the one you are going to want.
- Assault Mag – +15 Stability and +10 Rounds per Minute.
- Accurized Rounds – +10 Range.
PvP Perk Slot 3
If you have decided to stick with Range for the first two perk slots. Snapshot Sights will be what you want in the third perk slot.
- Slideshot – Sliding partially reloads this weapon’s magazine and temporarily boosts range and stability.
- Snapshop Sights – Faster time to aim down sights.
PvP Perk Slot 4
I personally think that Rampage will be your go-to perk, but any of these three will be useful in PvP.
- Rampage – Kills with this weapon temporarily grant increased damage. Stacks 3x.
- Quickdraw – This weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast.
- Moving Target – Increased movement speed and target acquisition when moving while aiming down sights.
