Destiny 2 has recently introduced the Into the Light update, unveiling a new game mode called Onslaught and reintroducing old favorites known as the BRAVE weapons. Among these weapons are The Recluse, The Mountaintop, Edge Transit, and others, each boasting its unique Origin Trait.

The Recluse, a Lightweight Frame Void Submachine Gun, initially launched as a Pinnacle weapon in the Year of Forsaken, featuring Feeding Frenzy and Master of Arms. It quickly gained notoriety in the PvE realm. In its current iteration, The Recluse now showcases the Origin Trait 'Indomitability,' offering Grenade energy for Light subclass eliminations and Melee energy for Dark subclass takedowns. With an expanded perk pool, it has become a versatile choice for both PvE and PvP engagements.

Unveiling The Recluse

To maximize The Recluse's potential in PvP scenarios, prioritizing Range enhancements is crucial. While Stability and Handling are adequate, boosting Range through features like Hammer Forged Rifling, Ricochet Rounds, and a Range Masterwork is recommended. The left column's Dynamic Sway Reduction enhances weapon accuracy and stability during fire, while the right column's Tap the Trigger provides a brief stability and accuracy boost upon the initial trigger pull, ensuring precise dueling capabilities.

Crafting the Perfect PvP Setup

The Recluse's proficiency in PvE settings can be optimized by leveraging Volatile Rounds within a Void loadout. Players should prioritize Range and Reload Speed boosts through selections like Hammer-Forged Rifling and Flared Magwell. Optimal perks such as Subsistence and Frenzy in the respective columns, along with choices like Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds, can solidify The Recluse as a dominant force in PvE engagements.
