History of Lightning Rounds

Overview

Lightning Rounds is the signature trait of the exotic Thunderlord Machine Gun. The longer you hold the trigger, the faster and more accurately it fires. Continuous damage also generates stunning lightning strikes from above.

Strikes come from sustained fire, which makes the trait strongest against bosses. Kill-based strikes come from a separate intrinsic, Reign Havoc, not from this trait. Destinypedia notes that the trait has not changed since Year Two.
