Sightline Survey PvE God Roll
The best perks for Sightline Survey PVE God Roll are Fluted Barrel, Tactical Mag, Keep Away, and Voltshot. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.
The following list is the best perks for Sightline Survey PVE God Roll in Destiny 2:
- Barrel: Fluted Barrel
- Magazine: Tactical Mag
- Column 3 Trait: Keep Away
- Column 4 Trait: Voltshot
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
- Origin Trait: Radiolaria Transposer
- Weapon Mod: Backup Mag
Firstly, the Fluted Barrel boosts our stability and handling stats and is one of the best hand cannon barrels. Also, we combine Tactical Mag, Keep Away, Reload Speed masterwork, and Backup Mag to increase our base magazine and reduce any time spent reloading. Lastly, Voltshot is a fantastic damage perk that allows us to jolt a target for reloading after a kill. This makes the weapon a potent tool to clear our waves of low-health enemies easily.
Hand Cannons are powerful weapons in PVE because of their damage per shot and they are incredibly easy to use. The biggest negative for Sightline Survery is its frame which deals less damage per shot than other hand cannons. However, the trade-off is it’s easier to use, and control while having a faster fire rate. These negatives are easily overshadowed by the strong perks available and should be a must-have for every guardian’s arsenal.
Sightline Survey PvP God Roll
The best perks for Sightline Survey PVP God Roll are Smallbore, Accurized Rounds, Fragile Focus, and Desperate Measures. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.
The following list is the best perks for Sightline Survey PVP God Roll in Destiny 2:
- Barrel: Fluted Barrel
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Column 3 Trait: Fragile Focus
- Column 4 Trait: Desperate Measures
- Masterwork: Range
- Origin Trait: Radiolaria Transposer
- Weapon Mod: Icarus Grip
Like most PVP weapons, we are focusing on the range especially since this archetype has the lowest base range of any hand cannon. So we are going with Smallbore, Acurrized Rounds, Fragile Focus, and Range masterwork to excessively boost our range well paste its base level. Also, Desperate Measures is one of the best damage perks available on the weapon, allowing us to change the time to kill from four shots to three after getting a kill.
Hand cannons are potent mid-range PVP weapons that are very consistent and easy to use. That is why they have been a favored and iconic weapon in PVP since Destiny’s inception. However, they do require some level of skill to aim and use effectively so practicing with one is recommended. As with PVE, the frame is the weak point of the Sightline Survey which is corrected with a fantastic perk selection.
