If you have dismantled weapons with the perk “Tresh” in Destiny 2, you are now annoyed. Because Bungie made sure that you also charge your Super very quickly in PvP with it – but forgot to mention it in the patch notes. We will show you how good this is in the Crucible and which weapons you should keep an eye on now.
What did Bungie forget? The expansion Beyond Light brought many new perks, including Tresh. The perk ensures that you receive additional Super energy on kills, but this only applies in PvE. Well, not anymore.
Tresh now grants you the strong bonus even in PvP. However, this important change is not found in any patch notes. With this realization/extra function, the perk is now one of the really strong alternatives for the Crucible. The change likely came about a week ago with Update 3.1.1.2.
Since the perk was completely useless in the Crucible before, many weapons with Tresh were dismantled immediately. This is naturally frustrating for the Guardians who spent the last week hunting a God Roll of the Palindrome from the trials.
On Twitter, community manager Dylan “dmg04” Gaffner confirmed on the night of April 6 that the change to Tresh was missed by Bungie to include it in the patch notes:
MeinMMO takes a look at how Tresh now works in PvP and which weapons or Exotics you should watch out for now.
Pro says: “Tresh now truly in demand, guaranteed”
How does it work now in PvP? Just like in PvE, Tresh gives you a bit of Super energy in PvP right after a kill – in addition to the actual kill. You also hear a sound that announces the effect.
How quickly your Super charges per Tresh kill depends on your Intellect score:
- At 0 Intellect, Tresh takes an additional 4 seconds off your charge time.
- At 10 Intellect, it goes 2 seconds faster.
- The lower the Intellect score, the more noticeable the effect of Tresh.
This may not seem like much at first glance, but the pros agree that Tresh now plays in a league with the best perks. PvP experts Fallout and CoolGuy say such things, based on their tests that we rely on here.
Here’s why it’s so strong: How strong Tresh really is becomes evident in that you have your most powerful abilities available before all other players: the Super. Especially in modes like Trials, Supers are game-changers and can decide a round single-handedly.
But in all modes and with all classes, you can “snowball” with your team, chaining Supers – since you create orbs on Super kills that, in turn, charge your teammates’ Supers quickly (many Supers per set, but you understand). However, you can also build around Tresh with all classes. One class benefits particularly.
Warlocks, try these Exotics
Especially Warlocks benefit the most from Tresh in PvP. With exotic armor, you can recharge your Super even faster without doing much:
- 4 seconds faster per kill with Mantle of Harmony – here the weapon element and subclass element must match. However, you also receive bonus damage at full Super.
- 6 seconds faster per kill with Nezareks Sin. This works with any subclass as long as you use a Void weapon. If you use a Void focus, it goes even faster through grenade and melee kills.
- If you play Chaos Reach, you switch to the Geomag Stabilizers at 80% Super charge and can get your Super in under 1:30 minutes after just 5 kills.
- If you cancel Chaos Reach early, you save energy, switch back to one of the other two Exotics, and get the next Super before the opponent has had just one Super. Keep in mind that Bungie recently slightly reduced the saved energy.
You can further boost Super gain through mods or Stasis aspects. Titans and Hunters can also use synergies with Tresh to their advantage. Golden Gun with Trance comes to mind, for example. But Warlocks are likely to be the winners here.
But even without the right subclass or exotic support, it can be said that Tresh is now really strong in the Crucible. Guardians now have to consider whether they want to use the perk slot for more lethality (damage increase), more reliability (bonuses on weapon attributes), or faster Supers.
Weapons with Tresh that you should try in Destiny 2
If you want, you can equip all your 3 weapons in the loadout with Tresh. Here are some of the strongest weapons for the Crucible that can roll with the new Super perk. So dig through your vault, alternatively we will provide the location.
- Last Dollar (Void) – 120 hand cannon from Gambit
- The Palindrome (Void) – 140 hand cannon from the trials
- The Palindrome as a master version (Void) – 140 hand cannon from the flawless trials (can be earned again from April 20, 2021)
- Stars in Shadow (Solar) – 340 pulse rifle from the Crucible
- Exceptional Performance (Kinetic) – 750 submachine gun from the battlegrounds and Umbral engrams
- Foreboding (Void) – 340 pulse rifle from the Pit of Heresy
- Retrofuturist (Void) – 80 shotgun from world drops and rank ups
- Legacy (Kinetic) – 65 shotgun from the “Deep Stone Crypt” raid
- Succession (Kinetic) – 72 sniper rifle from the “Deep Stone Crypt” raid
- Narrow Thread (Void) – 500 linear fusion rifle from the battlegrounds and Umbral engrams
- The Grief (Arc) – 300 hand cannon from the Crucible
- The Answer of Tomorrow (Void) – 15 rocket launcher from the Trials of Osiris
Especially strong should be Last Dollar, The Palindrome (master version), and The Answer of Tomorrow. All three are already killer weapons in their own right and feature the Void element, which Warlocks with Nezareks Sin will be very happy about.
Have you played Tresh after the secret buff and can you confirm how strong the perk is now in PvP? Are you annoyed about the forgotten patch note because you dismantled a God Roll? Let us know in the comments.
