Key Takeaways:

  • Corrasion is a seasonal weapon with an arc heavy burst pulse rifle archetype.
  • Its perk selection, particularly in columns three and four, sets it apart from other pulse rifles.
  • Perks like Air Trigger and Volt Shot greatly enhance the weapon’s reload speed, making it a formidable choice in PvE activities.
  • In PvP, Corrasion’s potential lies in its ability to two-burst opponents with the right combination of perks like High Ground and High Impact Reserves.

The Strengths of Corrasion

As a gamer, I’ve found that Corrasion really comes alive when it comes to choosing its perks in the third and fourth columns. One perk that truly stands out for me is Air Trigger. It dramatically increases my weapon’s reload speed and handling while I’m in mid-air. Pairing this with the weapon’s inherent arc damage makes it an excellent option for tackling PvE challenges. Furthermore, perks such as In Line Action and Volt Shot provide additional reload speed bonuses, resulting in increased DPS output for me to unleash on my enemies.

In competitive multiplayer (PvP), Corrasion can deal significant damage to opponents due to its ability to two-shot them when used with perks such as High Ground and High Impact Reserves. These perks amplify the weapon’s damage when shooting from elevated positions or when the ammo reserve is running low. Although the gun may not handle as nicely as other pulse rifles during PvP engagements, its destructive power should not be underestimated.

The Weaknesses of Corrasion

Although Corrasion boasts several advantages, it does present some drawbacks. The weapon’s recoil pattern seems misaligned, more akin to a three-round burst pulse rifle than a typical two-round burst. As a result, landing critical hits in PvP battles becomes more challenging. Furthermore, certain perks such as Frenzy and Eddy Current don’t provide as much benefit compared to other options, making them less favored selections.

Corrasion stands out as an exceptional weapon for Player versus Environment (PvE) engagements, delivering significant damage and harmonious perk combinations. In Player versus Player (PvP) scenarios, mastering its use takes more effort and finesse. Yet, with carefully selected perks and a strategic gameplay approach, it remains a formidable option in the Crucible.
