In Destiny 2, a weapon with the ‘reprisal’ trait or perk provides a benefit when the user is surrounded by enemies. This benefit commonly manifests as increased damage output, enhanced reload speed, or improved handling characteristics while the player is actively engaged in close proximity to multiple combatants. As an example, a fusion rifle with this perk might exhibit significantly faster charge times and increased impact when Guardians find themselves heavily pressured by incoming enemy combatants.
The value of weapons possessing this trait lies in their capacity to turn disadvantageous situations into opportunities. By rewarding aggressive play and the ability to survive under pressure, these weapons encourage tactical positioning and skillful maneuvering within close-quarters combat. Historically, this functionality has provided players with a crucial edge in high-difficulty activities where being outnumbered is a frequent challenge.
