The Destiny 2 Qullim’s Terminus god roll is one of the more flexible farming targets in King’s Fall, even if the weapon itself flies under the radar. Named after Qullim, a Fallen guardian who served as a warden under Oryx aboard the Dreadnaught, this Stasis Machine Gun brings a genuinely interesting perk pool to the Heavy slot. While it is not the first weapon most players think of for endgame content, the combination of Killing Tally’s stacking damage bonus and the Runneth Over origin trait creates a sustained fire loop that rewards aggressive, non-stop shooting in exactly the way machine guns are meant to be played. With Monument of Triumph launching June 9, 2026, Qullim’s Terminus now has full Tier 5 upgrade support and enhanced crafting. Get Destiny 2 free on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, or the Bungie website.
Qullim’s Terminus Overview and Base Stats
Qullim’s Terminus is a Legendary Stasis Machine Gun with a High-Impact Frame. High-Impact machine guns fire at 360 RPM — slower than Adaptive or Rapid-Fire frames, but with higher Impact per round and greater accuracy when stationary or moving slowly. The Stasis element gives it natural synergy with Stasis builds, Stasis subclass keywords, and Headstone-based crystal spawning for Fragment interactions. It sits in the Heavy slot and takes Heavy ammo.
Here are the base stats:
- Type: High-Impact Frame Machine Gun
- Element: Stasis
- Impact: 41
- Range: 46
- Stability: 34
- Handling: 38
- Reload Speed: 38
- Rounds Per Minute: 360
- Magazine: 44
- Origin Trait: Runneth Over — reloading near allies overflows the magazine with extra rounds from reserves
The base Stability, Handling, and Reload Speed are all low. These are the stats your barrel and magazine choices need to address. The 44-round magazine is solid for a High-Impact frame — it gives you enough sustained fire to build Killing Tally stacks and keep them active for a meaningful window without reloading. The Stasis damage type is its most notable identity marker, and the weapon has Unstoppable Champion stagger properties through the seasonal Artifact, making it situationally valuable against that Champion type in Nightfalls and Master content.
All Possible Perks on Qullim’s Terminus
The perk pool is compact and purposeful. Column 4 is where almost all the interesting decisions happen — it holds five genuinely strong perks that cater to different playstyles.
Barrels
Arrowhead Brake, Chambered Compensator, Corkscrew Rifling, Extended Barrel, Fluted Barrel, Full Bore, Hammer-Forged Rifling, Polygonal Rifling, Smallbore
Magazines
Accurized Rounds, Appended Mag, Tactical Mag, Extended Mag, Steady Rounds, Alloy Magazine, Flared Magwell
Column 3 (Trait 1)
Ensemble, Slickdraw, Firmly Planted, Heating Up, Stats for All, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Unrelenting
Column 4 (Trait 2)
Wellspring, Eye of the Storm, Firefly, Focused Fury, Firing Line, Killing Tally, Headstone
Column 4 is one of the strongest second-trait columns on any King’s Fall weapon. Killing Tally for escalating damage, Headstone for Stasis crystal spawning, Firing Line for fireteam DPS, Firefly for add-clear explosions, and Focused Fury for sustained precision damage — all five are genuinely competitive in their respective use cases. The challenge is that Column 3 is comparatively weaker, with Unrelenting and Ensemble being the clear standouts. This means your Column 3 choice almost always comes down to one of those two, and Column 4 is where you express your playstyle preference.
What Is the Best PvE God Roll for Qullim’s Terminus?
There are four viable PvE rolls depending on your content and build. Three of them use the same barrel and magazine and differ only in their trait selections.
Best PvE General God Roll (Add-Clear)
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Column 3: Unrelenting
- Column 4: Killing Tally
- Masterwork: Stability or Reload Speed
This is the most popular PvE roll and the combination most community theorycrafters recommend first. It rewards continuous fire — which is exactly what machine guns are designed for — and keeps you alive through sustained engagements without needing external healing sources.
Arrowhead Brake corrects the recoil direction to near-perfectly vertical and gives a meaningful Handling boost on a weapon with only 38 base Handling. Better recoil direction means every shot after the first tracks on target without drifting, which is critical for landing the precision hits that both Unrelenting and Killing Tally require. Tactical Mag adds stability, slightly increases the already solid 44-round magazine, and gives a small reload speed bonus — all three are immediately useful on a machine gun where you want to stay in the trigger pull as long as possible.
Unrelenting is the best Column 3 PvE option on this weapon. After three rapid kills, it triggers health regeneration for a few seconds. On a machine gun that kills enemies quickly and continuously, three kills happen in the first second of firing into a group. The healing is substantial enough to negate the damage you take from nearby enemies during an aggressive push, and it stays active almost constantly during normal gameplay. This removes the need for a passive healing source elsewhere in your build, freeing up Fragment slots for other bonuses. Killing Tally is the most impactful Column 4 choice for general content. It stacks up to three times — 10% per kill — for a maximum 30% damage bonus. Each kill refreshes the timer. As long as you keep firing without reloading or stowing, the buff stays active indefinitely. On a machine gun with a 44-round magazine, that is a very long sustained damage window. After the third kill, every subsequent shot deals 30% more damage until you run dry or swap out — which is one of the best sustained damage bonuses available on a Heavy weapon in the game right now.
Best PvE Stasis Build God Roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Column 3: Unrelenting
- Column 4: Headstone
- Masterwork: Stability
This roll is specifically for Stasis builds on any class. Headstone spawns a Stasis crystal on precision final blows. Stasis crystals interact with a wide range of Stasis Fragments — they can shatter for damage and Slow, feed Whisper of Shards for grenade recharge, trigger Whisper of Fissures for explosion damage, or just serve as cover in a pinch. In a Stasis Warlock Osmiomancy build, Shadebinder build, or Revenant Hunter setup, Headstone turns Qullim’s Terminus from a straightforward add-clear weapon into an active part of your ability loop. Every precision kill spawns a crystal, and then your abilities interact with those crystals to generate more ability energy, spreading more Freeze and Shatter effects across the encounter.
Unrelenting stays in Column 3 here for the same reason as the general roll — the healing keeps you alive while you are standing in the open landing precision shots to trigger Headstone. The alternative is Ensemble if you run raids and dungeons where allies are nearby, which speeds up your reload between Headstone procs and keeps Runneth Over’s overflow topping off the magazine.
Best PvE Fireteam God Roll (Elite and Champion Damage)
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Column 3: Ensemble
- Column 4: Firing Line
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
This roll is built for damage phases and elite-killing in fireteam content. Ensemble improves Handling and Reload Speed when two or more allies are nearby — the same condition that Firing Line requires. Both perks activate simultaneously during fireteam content, giving you faster weapon handling and 20% more precision damage at the same time with no extra activation requirement. Firing Line provides 20% bonus precision damage when near two or more allies. On a machine gun, you are landing precision hits on nearly every shot when stationary and targeting a large enemy. Against Champions and minibosses during raids or Grandmaster Nightfalls, this roll lets Qullim’s Terminus contribute real elite-damage that a standard Adaptive or Rapid-Fire machine gun cannot match in a fireteam context. Runneth Over also triggers under Ensemble’s condition, overflowing the magazine from reserves after a reload near allies — giving you more rounds to fire Firing Line shots during a damage window.
Best PvE Add-Clear Alternative (Firefly)
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Column 3: Unrelenting
- Column 4: Firefly
- Masterwork: Stability
If you prefer explosive add-clear over sustained damage stacking, Firefly in Column 4 turns Qullim’s Terminus into a room-clearing machine. Firefly causes precision kills to explode in elemental damage — in this case Stasis — and also grants a temporary reload speed bonus. Paired with Unrelenting’s healing, you have a machine gun that simultaneously heals you, explodes groups of enemies, and reloads faster between bursts. This roll performs slightly below Killing Tally in raw damage output but is more satisfying to use against tightly packed groups and rewards aggressive headshot accuracy.
What Is the Best PvP God Roll for Qullim’s Terminus?
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Appended Mag
- Column 3: Dynamic Sway Reduction
- Column 4: Killing Tally
- Masterwork: Stability
Machine guns in PvP are not the dominant Heavy weapon choice in 2026. Rocket launchers and linear fusions deal burst damage that ends Guardian fights faster. What machine guns offer instead is sustained multi-kill potential — once you have ammo, you can chain kills without reloading if your aim is good enough. Qullim’s Terminus with this roll takes that strength as far as a High-Impact frame machine gun can go.
Appended Mag adds rounds to the base 44-round magazine. More rounds means more kills before a forced reload, and kills are what feed Killing Tally. Every extra bullet is another potential stack maintainer. Dynamic Sway Reduction increases accuracy and reduces sway the longer you hold the trigger. High-Impact machine guns have a slightly unwieldy feel when you first start firing, and Dynamic Sway Reduction tightens that up after the first second of sustained fire — making the weapon feel like a laser against Guardians who are slow to react. This is what allows Qullim’s Terminus to compete in Crucible despite its relatively slow RPM.
Killing Tally is even stronger in PvP than PvE in one specific way: the buff stays active as long as you do not swap or reload, and with a large magazine and kill-to-kill chaining, you can run the buff from your first kill all the way through an entire magazine. A Guardian who dies once to Qullim’s Terminus is usually fighting a version of it hitting 30% harder by the time you turn the gun on their teammate. A Stability masterwork keeps shots on target during sustained fire, which is the one mechanical requirement for Killing Tally to keep stacking. The alternative Column 4 pick for PvP is Eye of the Storm, which improves accuracy and handling when your health is low. It is a solid reactive perk but more situational than Killing Tally’s consistent snowballing output.
Where Does Qullim’s Terminus Drop in King’s Fall?
Qullim’s Terminus drops from the following King’s Fall sources:
- Encounter 1 — Totems: Can drop here as one of the Totems encounter weapon rewards.
- Encounter 3 — Golgoroth: Also drops from this encounter.
- Encounter 5 — Oryx: Final chest can drop any previous encounter weapon, including Qullim’s Terminus.
- Cache of the King kiosk: Buy for 20 Spoils of Conquest after obtaining your first copy.
Qullim’s Terminus is available from more encounters than most King’s Fall weapons, which makes farming it more efficient than weapons exclusive to a single encounter. The Totems encounter in particular is a fast and straightforward fight that most fireteams can clear in under five minutes, making it the fastest farm target for red-border patterns. During featured weeks, both Totems and Golgoroth can be repeated without per-run lockouts. For the full encounter-by-encounter loot breakdown, see the Destiny 2 King’s Fall loot table and god rolls guide.
Should You Craft Qullim’s Terminus?
Yes — if you want either the Unrelenting and Killing Tally roll or the Unrelenting and Headstone roll, crafting is the only reliable way to guarantee both perks together. Five Deepsight (red-border) copies unlock the craftable pattern. Between the Oryx Deepsight chest — one guaranteed red-border per account per week — and encounter drops from Totems and Golgoroth on three characters, most players complete the Qullim’s Terminus pattern in one to two weeks of regular farming.
After crafting, the Tier 5 weapon upgrade path through Monument of Triumph lets you enhance both perks. Enhanced Killing Tally builds stacks faster and the damage bonus lasts longer before expiring. Enhanced Unrelenting heals more per trigger and procs with fewer kills. Enhanced Headstone spawns larger crystals that interact more powerfully with Stasis Fragments. All three enhanced versions are meaningful upgrades. For the full step-by-step Tier 5 crafting upgrade guide, see the Destiny 2 how to upgrade crafted weapons to Tier 5 guide.
Harrowed Qullim’s Terminus — Is It Worth Farming?
The Harrowed (Adept) version drops from completing the weekly encounter challenges on Master King’s Fall. It has higher base stats, access to Adept mods for a +3 stat bonus to any chosen stat, and enhanced perks through the crafting system.
For the Killing Tally roll, an Adept Stability mod directly improves the on-target accuracy that keeps stacks building. For the Headstone roll, an Adept Handling mod makes the weapon faster to aim between precision kills. If you are farming Master King’s Fall for the Kingslayer seal or Harrowed weapon completions, grabbing the Harrowed Qullim’s Terminus along the way is worthwhile. If you are not yet comfortable in Master content, the standard crafted version performs well enough for all non-Master content.
Qullim’s Terminus vs Other Stasis Machine Guns
The main competition in the Stasis machine gun category is Retrofit Escapade from past seasonal sources, which runs Heating Up and Killing Tally on an Adaptive frame. Adaptive frames at 450 RPM fire faster than Qullim’s 360 RPM High-Impact, giving them a faster time-to-kill and snappier feel in most situations. Retrofit Escapade with Killing Tally generally outperforms Qullim’s Terminus in straightforward add-clear because the faster fire rate builds Killing Tally stacks quicker.
Where Qullim’s Terminus pulls ahead is in Headstone availability — Retrofit Escapade does not have Headstone, and very few machine guns in the game do. For Stasis build players who specifically need a Heavy weapon that spawns Stasis crystals on precision kills, Qullim’s Terminus is one of the only options available. That Stasis crystal spawning niche, combined with its craftability and Runneth Over origin trait, gives Qullim’s Terminus a permanent place in Stasis builds that its competitors simply cannot fill.
Is Qullim’s Terminus Worth Using in 2026?
It is a B-Tier weapon overall — honest about its ceiling, but genuinely strong within its niche. In pure add-clear terms, faster archetypes and Adaptive frame machine guns outperform it. But no other craftable Heavy weapon in 2026 combines Stasis damage, Headstone, and Runneth Over in a single package. That combination is unique to Qullim’s Terminus, and for Stasis builds on any class it fills a role that nothing else covers as well.
The Killing Tally roll is the easier choice for players who are not running a dedicated Stasis build. Thirty percent bonus damage on a Heavy machine gun that stays active as long as you keep shooting is a strong output bonus for general content — strikes, raids, lost sectors, and seasonal activities all give you the kill density needed to keep it stacked continuously. For full King’s Fall weapon coverage, the Midha’s Reckoning god roll guide covers the raid’s Arc Fusion Rifle in the same depth. For all raid weapon rolls and loot tables across every active raid in 2026, Destiny 2 all raid loot tables has the complete picture, and Destiny 2 raids in order helps you plan your weekly farming schedule around King’s Fall alongside every other featured raid.
