The roll, up front
If you only read 1 line: chase
Reconstruction in the 3rd column and
Target Lock in the 4th when you want the workhorse. Chase
Demolitionist plus
Hatchling when the build is Strand grenades. The Crucible pair below is the 3rd roll worth keeping.

| Magazine | 48.6% | Appended Mag 11.2% | |

Why Reconstruction plus Target Lock wins the vault
Rufus's Fury is a
Rapid-Fire Frame Strand Kinetic auto rifle. 720 rounds per minute. Deeper reserves. A faster reload when the magazine is empty. Hash 484515708.
Reconstruction reloads the magazine over time when the gun is holstered, then overfills it.
Target Lock ramps damage the longer you hold the trigger on the same target. The 2 perks turn a 720 RPM primary into a boss-and-major workhorse. That is why Reconstruction sits on 27.6% of copies and Target Lock sits on 24.7%.
The Strand grenade loop is a different gun.
Demolitionist refunds grenade energy on kills.
Hatchling weaves a threadling on precision or final blows. That pair sits behind the workhorse on equipped share (17.0% and 23.4%) and is the pair you craft when the subclass is the point.
The Strand pair and the Crucible pair
The equipped majority is 1 roll. 2 other pairs earn a slot in the vault for a different job.
| Pair | Job | Why it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Strand grenade / threadling loop | ||
| Crucible peek fights | ||
| Sever / overflow loop |
Keep
Reconstruction plus
Target Lock for raids and Legend Nightfall. Keep
Demolitionist plus
Hatchling for a Strand grenade kit. Keep
Perpetual Motion plus Target Lock if you queue Crucible with this frame.
Barrel, magazine, and the Adept copy
Arrowhead Brake sits on 32.1% of copies. Recoil direction on a 720 RPM auto.
Hammer-Forged Rifling at 11.2% is the range pick when the map is long.
Polygonal Rifling at 5.5% is the stability pick.
Ricochet Rounds sits on 48.6%. Range and stability on the same magazine. That is the clearest magazine signal in the set.
An Adept copy exists under hash 342514437. Same Rapid-Fire frame. Same origin. Master challenge drops that Adept. Do not delete a crafted
Reconstruction plus
Target Lock copy to chase the Adept stamp.
Where it drops, and how you craft it
Rufus's Fury drops from Root of Nightmares. Zo'aurc, the 3rd encounter. Nezarec, the final encounter. Hidden chests unlock after the 1st drop. Spoils of Conquest buy extra copies at the vendor.
Crafted copies need Deepsight patterns from those encounters. The origin trait on those copies is
Harmonic Resonance. Update 9.7.0 keeps Destinations raids on the map. Root of Nightmares is still the farm. Pale Heart stays on the map for other quests.
Every other Root of Nightmares drop, encounter by encounter, is in the Root of Nightmares loot table.
Farm the roll, or have it farmed
2 honest paths. The 2-perk farm on any legendary is $107 today. A full Root of Nightmares clear puts you on Zo'aurc and Nezarec, the 2 encounters that drop this gun. A leftover raid farm is $12 when you only need more patterns.
If you have the hours, run Zo'aurc and Nezarec and keep every copy with
Reconstruction until
Target Lock lands. If the build is Strand grenades, keep
Demolitionist until
Hatchling lands. If you do not have the hours, name the 2 trait columns. The team farms the source until that pair is in your vault.
