History of Breakthrough (perk)

Overview

Breakthrough is a Trait that makes the weapon fire staggering projectiles. The in-game description marks it as strong against Unstoppable Champions, so it is a practical choice for that activity.

Weapon

It is the trait on Bastion, an Exotic Fusion Rifle. Bastion's intrinsic perk is Saint's Fists, which lets the weapon charge to fire three spreads of Kinetic slugs. Its other perks include Hammer-Forged Rifling, which extends range, and Liquid Coils, which raises impact damage but slows the charge.

Catalyst

The catalyst, Cast No Shadows, makes melee damage temporarily boost handling and load a small amount of ammo from reserves.

Tips

Because it is the trait on a single Exotic, it is mainly a consideration for players who already use Bastion.
