How good is Blast Furnace?
Being a Kinetic Aggressive Burst pulse rifle means it rubs up against the likes of Belisarius-D, Disparity, and Sacred Providence, to name a few. While they can land two burst kills, their TTK is slightly longer than that of the more widely used High-Impact pulse rifles. But what they lack in speed, they make up for in stats, so expect Blast Furnace to follow suit.
In PvE, pulse rifles rank low in the usage department. Even with some buffs, pulses are outmatched by most other weapons, with the outliers being the exotics like Graviton Lance and Outbreak Perfected. However, Blast Furnace gets solid PvE perks that might let it stand out in the meta.
Best alternatives:
 | Belisarius-D | Pulse Rifle | Primary |  Strand | Crucible Competitive |
 | Disparity | Pulse Rifle | Primary |  Stasis | Operation: Seraph's Shield |

Blast Furnace God Rolls, Destiny 2
Blast Furnace PvE god roll
| PvE Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Magazine | Appended Mag |
| Perk 1 | Kinetic Tremors (backup: Shoot to Loot) |
| Perk 2 | Desperate Measures or One-For-All |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Pulses in PvE have seen highs and lows, but Blast Furnace might be able to break the mold they have been in for quite some time. Its amazing base stats means not much needs to be kicked up, but its handling is objectively sub-par, so we’ll use Fluted Barrel to kick it up a notch. Pair it with Flared Magwell for a reload speed buff, as well as a slight stability bump.
For perk 1, it’s a “no contest” for Kinetic Tremors. Shoot to Loot, while nice to have, feels like a waste when a free damage perk is in the same slot. Since Blast Furnace fires 4 shots a burst, it’ll only take 3 bursts to activate it, as opposed to 4 on all others. Perk 2 has a lot of good in it, but it’s a toss-up between Desperate Measures and One-For-All. Desperate Measures requires a kill with the weapon or abilities to activate, whereas One-For-All doesn’t, and will also activate from Kinetic Tremors.
Blast Furnace PvE god roll
| PvP Rolls | Roll #1: 3v3 (Trials) | Roll #2: 6v6 |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Break | |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds | |
| Perk 1 | Zen Moment or Headseeker | Zen Moment or Perpetual Motion |
| Perk 2 | Rapid-Hit | Kill Clip (also good: Rampage) |
| Masterwork | Stability or Handling | |
Roll #1: 3v3s (Trials) God Roll
PvP is where Blast Furnace will shine. A base of 79 range and 64 stability puts it above all other pulses in its frame, with the only downside being the base 65 recoil, but that’s easily fixable with Arrowhead Break, which will put it to 95 before a Counterbalance Stock mods bumps it to 100. Accurized Rounds will provide a +10 to your range, which is perfect for fighting longer range weapons.
Perk 1 has many good PvP perks that it’s hard to narrow them down, but Zen Moment or Headseeker are what most are going to look for. Zen Moment will keep your reticle on target throughout the duel, and Headseeker can help push the fight in your favor if you miss a crit or two. Perk 2 really only has Rapid-Hit for 3v3 modes, as all the others are kill based, but who’s going to say ‘no’ to even more stability?
Roll #1: 6v6s God Roll
In 6v6 modes, you’ll find a good place for Perpetual Motion given how they play. Perpetual Motion gives you free stability for simply moving around, which is quite common when so many people are on the field. For Perk 2, any of the kill-based perks will work best, but Kill Clip and Rampage will probably be the easiest to use. Desperate Measures gets an honorable mention, too.
