In Destiny 2, Bungie has thrown many new weapons into the loot pool for Witch Queen. One of them resembles the infamous Recluse and can even hold its own with the right perks. We will show you which one it is and how you can best get it.
What kind of weapon is it? This is the new Void SMG “Trichternetz” from the Veist Weapons Forge with a fire rate of 900. This small submachine gun fires quickly and accurately and can also perform well at medium range.
If you have the right roll, it can even replace the infamous Recluse, which could be earned in the Crucible through a lengthy quest. Since the weapon can perform so well in PvE, you should definitely secure a copy.
Recluse 2.0? The new Trichternetz rivals her
What can the weapon do? The Void weapon excels in range, stability, and handling with the right perks. Thanks to the new origin perk “Veist Stinger,” there is a chance, while using the sights, to reload the magazine when under enemy fire and give you a movement boost.
If you get a copy with perks like Outlaw and Rampage, you can slaughter entire groups of enemies without worrying about your magazine. Its range is comparable to that of an auto rifle and can send enemies to their demise with hard and fast shots.
The recoil is also very pleasant and well controllable for an SMG. This allows for well-placed shots even at distance. Just to compare, how the Trichternetz with the right perks outperforms the Recluse:
| Trichternetz | The Recluse | |
| Impact | 15 | 15 |
| Range | 68 (with Range Masterwork) | 54 (with Range Masterwork) |
| Stability | 54 | 52 |
| Handling | 78 | 67 |
| Reload Speed | 38 | 35 |
| Aim Assist | 54 | 55 |
| Rate of Fire | 900 | 900 |
| Magazine | 37 | 36 |
What are the best rolls? To lead with the best Trichternetz, you should pay attention to the following perks:
- Corkscrew Rifling – Improved Rounds – Outlaw – Adrenaline Junkie
- Range Masterwork
- Corkscrew Rifling – Improved Rounds – Outlaw – Rampage
- Range Masterwork
Where can you get it? Unfortunately, the weapon cannot be crafted, but it can be farmed. The SMG belongs to the worldly loot pool and can be obtained from Umbral Engrams, Powerful Engrams, or simply from Banshee-44 through weapon master ranks. However, it is not a guaranteed drop. You need a lot of luck.
What do YouTubers say about the weapon? Ehroar, a “Destiny 2” expert, claims that the Trichternetz is better than the Recluse. He draws comparisons with the old Veist model and compares the capabilities that Guardians now have to make their Trichternetz more powerful.
With the right seasonal mods combined with source mods, the Trichternetz can easily outclass the Recluse in terms of DPS and ammo. Many players have already recognized this and declared the Trichternetz SMG a new must-have.
