Dream Breaker

For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.

Dream Breaker is an Adaptive Frame Solar Fusion Rifle, originally released way back in the Shadowkeep days. It came back to us in S14 with a revamped set of perks that at the time, made for an underwhelming package. In S15, Bungie revamped Fusion Rifles and given the right perks and right playstyle (which I suppose is true for any weapon), the Dream Breaker can put in work.

😎 CoolGuy’s Pick (pvp)#

Firmly Planted is key to this roll, clearning up all of what ails Fusion Rifles. Kickstart active is what allows us to go all-in on damage reduction trade-off for making Charge Time slower. Arrowhead Brake allows us to hit 100 Recoil with a Counterbalance mod. The benefits from Firmly Planted don’t make this necessary though, hence the suggestion of most any barrel.

😴 Sleepwalker (No Slideways) (pvp)#

High-Impact Reserves is less of a damage boost than Kickstart however, it’s still super lethal. If the Kickstart-based playstyle isn’t for you, give one of these a go. Depending on your ammo situation, Slideways might put you out of benefit of High-Impact Reserves, so we’re documenting a separate roll for it.

🥱 Sweet Dreams (Sans Third Column) (pvp)#

The perks that make this what it is (i.e. change the damage/charge profile of the weapon) are in the fourth column. If you score a complete blank in the third column, there’s still hope for a deadly fusion!

🥱 Sweet Dreams (Sans Fourth Column) (pvp)#

If you score a complete blank on the fourth column perks and bullseye the rest, you’ve still got a decent PvP Solar Fusion in a pinch.
