You NEED to CRAFT this thing!!

Piece of Mind pulse rifle is a brand new weapon in Destiny 2 The Witch Queen and arguably one of the best rapid-fire 540 RPM weapons to come to the game with respect to PVP crucible. I break down exactly why I think this and what you should craft for your god roll.

11:44 YES I FEEL THE SAME WAY! I’ve been shouting at Bungie since weapon crafting dropped to allow us to craft weapons with double perks in every column. They let us get extra perks on the tier 3 umbral engrams last year AND on Dawning Weapons. Allowing us to essentially have two different rolls on the same gun would save so much vault space.. even if the requirement to put multiple perks in each column was something crazy like reaching level 100 on a weapon, ID FREAKIN DO IT!!!

This was such a great guide. Easy to follow, great graphics, solid pacing. I am sitting here watching you get better at content creation with every video. Thanks for all the content, man. You're killing it.

[@CastleContent]

I appreciate that!

[@jc719]

Although it isn’t needed, I put the full auto retrofit on. Crafted mine to have Arrowhead, high cal rounds for flinching during duels, perpetual motion and elemental capacitor with a range MW. I wanted to add that range MW to get me to 36.5 meters which pushes me out of range just a bit from 140s. As a long time Darkest Before fan, this feels amazing

[@timothymcn]

Hard to argue with Arrowhead/Hi-Cal on whatever roll you intend to craft. Definitely my number one crafting goal.

[@michaelschlefstein7360]

Myself, being a retired Electrical Engineer, I cannot praise you enough for the SUPERIOR level of detail you provide in your videos! Bravo! Keep them coming! Thanks for the efforts

I'm much happy with my overflow + moving target with high cal rounds :) Finally i can use a rapid fire pulse while my sweet sweet darkest before can rest (pss i love darkest more)

I have the same roll slaps in pvp

[@monistermat2093]

Ya I don't know why I didn't like overflow for a while I feel stupid saying that I never wanted to actually try it until I did. I have it on the Krait right now but I'm hoping to get that perk with this weapon

My Darkest Before with elemental cap feels so good def a great Pulse

[@bonyeezy7980]

There's another upgrade from the War Table that makes your first focused Umbral Engram of the week drop as a Deepsight weapon, so that's another way to unlock the pattern.

[@blainebrooks1527]

Crafted Arrowhead brake, hi-cal rounds, perpetual motion, elemental capacitor, range masterwork

[@deniswith1n]

I’ve been using this pulse for the last day and it has become quite addicting. I got a random drop of an overflow/ focused fury. I don’t get the focused fury to proc much but that massive magazine has been enjoyable. It has arrowhead brake and ricochet which are both noticeable, paired with a counterbalance it feels like a laser.

[@specky3flush345]

Crafted this a couple of days ago to get arrowhead brake, high cal, enhanced heating up, enhanced elemental capacitor (void) and stability master work. Having a ball with it in IB.

[@flex2755]

I used to have it as wel but I switched enhanced elemental with enhanced focused fury, it’s insane

[@rossy1704]

Always appreciate the time and effort you put into your content dude. Im just in the process of deciding which way to go with crafting this pulse so seeing your video drop made me smile. Thank you 🙏

[@CastleContent]

I appreciate that!

[@zvChaos]

If you wanna have more chances at red weapons for any of the war table weapons buy the the 2nd upgrade on the first row in the war table. This let's you focus your umbrals into whichever weapon from the war table that you want and you have a chance of having a red weapons to drop

Nah i bought the 4th upgrade from the blue as it guarantees whatever you focus your umbral as a red weapon.

[@TheHazeKiller]

I got a Moving Target + Heating Up roll with a Stability MW. It's near perfect. If I crafted, I'd probably make the barrel Arrowhead Brake.

[@KnobleKnives]

This is the first pulse since Bygones that is satisfying to me. As soon as I get the blueprint, I’ll be going for some high handling and stability rolls for sure

[@CastleContent]

100%

[@ryanmolloy5421]

Agree. It is very bygone-ish. It's super stable even when you don't have a ton of stability perks.

[@Cerxen]

Good luck. I target farmed this and got one blueprint from like 10 to 15 focusing, and every other one I got was a random reward at the end of the activity. Guaranteed focus seems to be the easiest way to go even if it's the longest path

I've had a crafted one for a bit now. Arrowhead Brake, High Cals, Enhanced Heating Up, Enhanced Elemental Capacitor. Stability Frame. 540s are my favorite archtype in Crucible. I've played with these alot (on console) and I've found stability seems to make the biggest difference.

🍻

[@AbsolutelyCursed]

Mad respect for plugging your friend with the channel shout out.

[@Boostars]

I crafted myself one with Corkscrew/High-Cal/Perpetual(Enhanced)/Moving Target(Enhanced)/Range MW. It feels incredibly good. I play on M&K and don't even need to aim for the head to get headshots

[@kingcurmudgeon8685]

Yep, moving target is amazing. It’s like it’s built for those strafing gun battles. Only issue is people rarely duel you straight up in Destiny anymore.

[@Dokkaebi7431]

I went for arrowhead (for recoil direction since I like full auto retrofit on high rpm pulses), high cal, perpetual motion, moving target for a pure dueling roll.

[@d.b.hemlock]

I've been perfecting my Trials PoM for awhile now. This is was perfect. Exactly what I needed to know. Range MW instead of Stability. Thank you!

[@brentstofcik703]

I’m satisfied with mine. Hammer forged riffling, high caliber rounds, overflow, enhanced moving target. I’ll be crafting something different now that I reached the level of the weapon to use any of the perks and enhanced ones. Overall this pulse is amazing and lots of fun.

[@martinprovo2389]

One thing about Adrenaline Junkie is that it says it also boosts handling, so that also plays really well with this archetype I have a Fluted Messenger with Desparado, and atm I can't put counter balance on it because I want full auto for Desp., but since it needs a kill to proc anyway Heating up completely makes up for that in stats that are wanted for pulses too. Stability, RD, and I think it says accuracy. So if anyone doesn't mind a roll they have to prime with a kill, Heating can let you cover two bases, especially if running Ecap on Arc and you don't need the handling of PM. This is definitely a gun I'll craft multiples of, and it looks like I might be able to get rid of my max stab time-worn.

[@laanoz2373]

Quality content as always and i completely agree. I have an arrowhead, high cal, perpetual motion one and it feels really good

I feel like everyone's been sleeping on this gun dude this video just made me feel that even more when with the initial season pass drop of this thing i was shredding with it its kind of uncanny how good of a pulse this bad boy is is 1v1ing friends with their exo pulses and they couldn't hang even with vigilance and hitting all rounds on my face i was dropping them first

[@curtisnielsen1399]

Once I reviewed craftable weapons this and likely suspect were at the top of my list as I really like both archetypes. For Piece of Mind I have two rolls I intend to craft: Arrowhead, high cal, Stability MW, perpetual motion, and Elemental capacitor; Chambered, high cal, Stability MW, heating up, adrenaline junkie. First role is to match the pure consistency of my time worn spire, second to increase the potential ceiling with the damage increase and heating up. I'd like to try focused fury, but feel like the FF overflow roll would be a great PvE option, not sure I'd use it in PvP often.

[@kingcurmudgeon8685]

Rapid fires have never been the play in PvE.

[@KLGChaos]

I'm using Perpetual and Enhanced Moving Target. It's so strong and easily one of the most used weapons right now. It's got a fast TTK and more range than a max range Palindrome and almost encroaches on the slower firing pulses thanks to its zoom.

[@NatDoa]

Great video as always! I just wanted to add that there's 1 more way to get the pattern and it's arguably the best one bc it's guaranteed. On week 4, in the war table upgrades, you can pick requisition upgrade and the first weapon you focus will be red border.

[@bigbadlara5304]

If you run a solar subclass, dexterity mods are great with EC. It’s nice to not lose to reload or handling.

I currently have 1 roll I've been using with 87 stability. I freaking love it (but it has low range). My fav Darkest before is overflow/elemental capacitor, but I think I want to craft the perpetual/elemental on this. As a console player, I completely agree that stability can compensate for recoil. I love using full-auto retrofit so I'll be figuring out my barrels to balance range/stab/recoil once I get to crafting.

Great video! I'm going to give some of your perk combos a try. Why do you favor handling so much, even after having perpetual motion? If using a void ECAP, what about switching to range masterwork and arrowhead brake (to use full auto mod instead of counterbalance stock mod)

[@CastleContent]

Yeah that would work great too. Honestly I favour handling so much because personally I see it as being part of my TTK. When I play very aggressive, the speed at which I can swap weapons or aim down sights impacts my TTK. Handling has an effect on all that.

I agree with the crafting mini-rant, it's worsened my vault space, not helped it. I'm keeping weapons to pull the resources out of them later, i'm still saving multiple weapon rolls (but have no option to multi-perk crafted versions, not to mention the insane cost to swap perks on crafted items) PLUS all the new drop-combos so i'm constantly fighting at the 495 mark and actively comparing types and rolls where previously i'd be closer to 480-485/500. it's not helped in that most of the type-perks we lost orbs of light generation for simply bore me, so far i'm seeing very few i'd not rather generate orbs from.
