Keraunios is a brand-new Arc Trace Rifle introduced in Guardian Games, and it's already sparking excitement among the Destiny community. The name "Keraunios" has roots in Greek, meaning "thunderbolt", which is fitting for an Arc weapon that zaps enemies with a continuous beam of lightning-like energy. This trace rifle is an Adaptive Frame, which implies balanced stats and a solid, stable firing experience.

Keraunios fires at 1000 RPM, typical for trace rifles, which means a steady beam rather than discrete shots. Its base magazine is a whopping 98 rounds​, which is relatively high – for comparison, most trace rifles have around 94 in the mag. The slightly larger mag here complements one of its key perks: Overflow. The weapon's charge time will be instant, continuous fire as long as you hold the trigger and have ammo.

Notably, Keraunios is Arc damage, making it only the second legendary Arc trace rifle in the game's history. The other one is Warlord's Dusk, so having another Arc trace is a big deal for Arc builds. Arc traces pair nicely with Arc subclass, as they can apply Jolt via perks and benefit from Amplified. Also, many Arc mods can directly boost its output.

The perk pool on Keraunios is where things get truly exciting. Devs gave it a set of perks that essentially turn it into a hybrid between an add-clearing monster and a sustained damage specialist. In the first trait column, you have options like Overflow, Hip-Fire Grip, Perfect Float, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Discord, Recycled Energy, and Eddy Current​. In the second column: Detonator Beam, Rolling Storm, Killing Tally, Jolting Feedback, Closing Time, Harmony, Killing Wind​.

Now, the known perks: Overflow – extremely strong for PvE, as mentioned, picking up ammo doubles mag. On Keraunios, that synergy with Killing Tally in the second column is the headliner. Killing Tally: each kill increases damage and doesn't reset until you stow or reload. With Overflow, you might not reload for long, allowing you to keep stacking that damage. It's a throwback to the old combo on 21% Delirium, which had Overflow/Killing Tally – players loved that because you could get three stacks of Killing Tally and just keep mowing things down. Now imagine that on a trace rifle – you could clear entire rooms, and as long as you occasionally pick up a green brick, you keep the buff. The only limiter would be how many shots you can fire before running out of reserves or needing to let go of the trigger to avoid waste.

Dynamic Sway Reduction – very helpful for traces in PvP, making the beam more stable as you hold the trigger down. It reduces bloom and increases accuracy over continuous fire. Considering traces fire continuously, DSR will likely kick in quickly and keep the beam tight on target, which is excellent for head tracking a Guardian. Hip-Fire Grip – maybe not a first thought for a trace, but it could allow for Ghostbusters-style hip-firing at close range with decent accuracy (though generally, you ADS with trace for the aiming cone). Perfect Float – this perk (originating from Season of the Splicer) gives extra stability and accuracy if you're in combat for a short time without getting killed. It's a bit niche, but in duels can help. Harmony – synergy: if you get a kill with another weapon, then swap to Keraunios, you get a damage buff, it could be nice in PvP (get a cleanup with primary, swap to trace for a melt on the next guy). Killing Wind – great for PvP, on a kill, you get mobility, range, and handling buff, which on a trace could mean faster movement and further reach.

Let's highlight Keraunios's intended strengths:

• Sustained DPS: With perks like Overflow and Killing Tally, Keraunios can dish out damage continuously for an extended period. Even without those, trace rifles inherently have high sustained damage because they don't pause between shots. If one was to use it on a boss (though traces use special ammo, limiting total ammo), under something like a Well of Radiance and Font of Might, Keraunios could contribute significant, sustained DPS, rivaling even some heavy weapons over a short burst. It won't beat something like Legendary Linear Fusion sustained DPS, but it could be top-tier sustained damage for a special weapon. Especially if Killing Tally is active (30% more damage) and maybe Rolling Storm increases ROF or damage as you hold the trigger.
• Add Clearing and Crowd Control: Jolting Feedback suggests that hitting an enemy for a certain duration will jolt them. Jolt causes chain lightning on the next hit or when they die, damaging others. So, by focusing your beam on a chunky target in a pack, you could jolt it and have lightning arc out, softening or killing surrounding adds.

In Arc builds, Keraunios is going to be fun. Imagine running Arc Titan with Touch of Thunder grenades: you throw a pulse grenade that jolts targets, then beam them with Keraunios to keep the jolt going and get ability energy back. Or Arc Warlock with Electrostatic Mind: any jolt kills create Ionic Traces – Keraunios can jolt enemies, they die and drop Ionic Traces, which give you ability energy. Meanwhile, Classy Contender is giving you rift energy too. It could create a loop of constant ability and trace usage.

For Crucible, trace rifles have a mixed track record. Some (like Wave Splitter or Ager's Scepter) can be powerful but require steady aim and tracking. Keraunios could be a surprise Arc special for PvP. If it can roll Killing Tally – not typically valuable for PvP due to needing multiple kills without reloading – perhaps Harmony or Killing Wind would be the PvP choices. A likely PvP god roll might be Dynamic Sway + Killing Wind or Dynamic Sway + Harmony. That would give you stability as you fire and a boost after a kill. With Arc subclass, you might also incorporate Jolting Feedback in PvP: if it triggers on dealing a certain amount of damage, you could Jolt a Guardian (slightly shocking them, though Jolt's primary effect is on PvE, in PvP jolt can do some tick damage and mess with someone hiding or cloaked). Also, traces apply a lot of flinch to targets due to continuous damage, and Keraunios's likely high stability will make it easier to hold on heads. It could be very effective at mid-range duels, especially against things like fusion rifles or shotguns that require a moment of peek – you might fry them as they peek.

Acquisition-wise, Keraunios being event-locked means if you see someone with it in Crucible, you know they got it during Guardian Games – a bit of a status symbol early on.

If you're an Arc connoisseur or love trace rifles (like using Coldheart or Ager's), Keraunios is a must-get. It's arguably the most anticipated Guardian Games weapon because of its unique nature. While time will tell exactly how all its perks function, early analysis suggests it can roll a "god roll" that effectively makes it a beast for crowd control and sustained boss damage – something we rarely see in one weapon.
