The Artifact for Act 2 introduces five new columns of perks, each catering to different weapons, abilities, and subclass synergies. Unlike Act 1, these perks lean heavily into elemental playstyles and utility-driven combat. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:

Column 1: Ammo Economy & Reload Speed

• Honed Reflexes – Boosts reload speed for Kinetic weapons after landing precision hits.
• Replenishing Strike – Melee kills partially refill magazine reserves for equipped weapons.

Column 2: Weapon Synergies & Overcharges

• Overcharged Barrage – Overcharged weapons deal bonus damage to Champions and high-tier enemies.
• Arc Surge – Arc weapons generate Ionic Traces on rapid kills, replenishing ability energy.

Column 3: Ability Amplification & Resistance

• Voidguard – While inside a Void overshield, weapon stability and damage resistance increase.
• Solar Wellspring – Solar kills grant bonus ability regeneration for allies.

Column 4: Explosive & Chain Reaction Effects

• Chain Explosion – Grenade kills trigger a secondary explosion that damages nearby enemies.
• Resonant Waves – Arc melee attacks deal splash damage to grouped targets.

Column 5: Final Column Game-Changers

• Dark Infusion – Void weapon final blows have a chance to trigger Devour.
• Burning Judgment – Solar weapon kills increase Super regeneration for a short duration.
