The Edge of Fate update added several new weapons in Destiny 2, while it also reinvented the perk pool for many of the existing guns. One of these reissued weapons is the Pulse Rifle named Stars in Shadow. The High Impact Solar-based weapon first appeared in the Beyond Light update for the game. However, with brand-new perks, its god rolls have now undergone some change. The weapon is in the loot pool of the Crucible activities in the Portal. Participating in these can help you acquire the weapon.

Sometimes, the weapon might be featured in the activity, making it a guaranteed drop when you complete that specific activity. In this guide, we’ll talk about the perks that make up the Stars in Shadow God Rolls in Destiny 2.
