A new type of Hand Cannon, called a Spread Shot, was added to Destiny 2 with The Edge of Fate expansion. One particular version is incredibly powerful and has been a top pick for player-versus-player combat ever since it was released.
The Aureus Neutralizer is a unique weapon only available from Trials of Osiris, and it boasts powerful perk combinations for both PvE and PvP. However, it truly excels in player-versus-player combat.
This weapon is basically a powerful shotgun built into the frame of a Hand Cannon. If you’re playing Trials of Osiris when Aureus is available, these are the specific configurations you should try to get.

When building an Aureus Neutralizer for player-versus-player combat, you have several good perk options in each slot. However, our testing showed that “Lone Wolf” and “Opening Shot” consistently performed the best. These two perks together give you increased range, help with aiming, and faster target acquisition speed – all crucial for success in the Crucible.
Consider using ‘Closing Time’ instead of ‘Opening Shot’ for broader stat improvements. However, because Aureus isn’t a special ammo weapon, its perk won’t always be active, unlike with Fusion Rifles or Shotguns.
For player-versus-environment (PvE) activities, the Aureus build excels with melee combat. Landing a successful melee attack with this build provides a significant 50% damage boost to your gun for three shots, thanks to the ‘Trench Barrel’ perk. Additionally, the ‘Grave Robber’ perk automatically reloads your magazine after a melee hit, making Aureus incredibly effective for dealing high damage with your primary weapon.
So that covers everything about the Aureus Neutralizer, but trust me, it’s not the only awesome weapon in Destiny 2 right now. If you’re looking for more build ideas, I’d definitely check out guides for the Auric Disabler and MIDA Mini-Tool – they’re both super strong right now!
