Q: What are masterwork rolls?
A: Most legendary weapons are capable of being Masterworked. The masterwork system is a way for you to upgrade your favorite weapons to their maximum potential.
Q: What does it take to upgrade a weapon to a masterwork?
A: Upgrading your weapons, in broad terms, takes a small amount of glimmer, legendary shards, and, most importantly, Enhancement Cores.
Depending on what Tier your weapon is at, the requirements to raise it to the next tier increase the closer the weapon is to being fully masterworked (Tier 10).
Q: What benefits do I get for masterworking a weapon?
A: Each tier that you increase your weapon will grant a small buff to a single stat, chosen randomly when the item drops.
Beyond that, at Tier 5 you gain access to a kill tracker. At Tier 10, your multi-kills will generate orbs of light.
Q: So what are these "masterwork roll" stats?
A: These are the possible stats that upgrading your weapon will grant a bonus to. Depending on what tier you are at, you can grant anywhere from 1-10 additional points in any of the stats listed to your weapon.
Q: Any catch with this?
A: The Bungie API currently says that all weapons can potentially roll with all stats as their masterwork stat. This obviously isn't accurate, as Blast Radius isn't applicable to, say, Auto Rifles.
The list you see on this page is trimmed to only show stats that actually appear on the weapon. However, it is possible that Bungie has additional logic behind the scenes that further filters these
possibilities to, for example, prevent certain items from being able to have an Impact masterwork. Until Bungie modifies the API files to 100% accurately display which masterwork stats are possible on
each item, take what you see here with a pinch of salt.
For the 4th column, chain reaction is the king of ad clear, one for all could be interesting (although I haven't tried it out on this) Assassin's Blade is an alright perk and En Garde is... well... its en garde
11/10 for ad clear
7.5/10 for dps (look out for duelist's trance)
A great, unique sword, both visually and functionally
Its not setting the PvP world on fire without a lunge perk, and its best DPS option being One for All means it won't surpass Falling Guillotine any time soon, but my goodness is this thing a monster of Ad clear. Chain Reaction causes things to explode, and take your pick between Demolitionist for Grenade regen, Relentless for big targets, Unrelenting for Heals, Tireless for add clear, or Duelists for Heavy atack spam. You cannot go wrong with the 3rd column, honestly.
Also, it just looks really cool. Ironic considering it comes from a different game entirely, but hey I won't knock it for that. Pick one up for yourself and spin to win, baby!
By killing something before you start dps 🗿
