The following list is the best perks for Elsie’s Rifle PVE God Roll in Destiny 2:

  • Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
  • Magazine: Flared Magwell
  • Column 3 Trait: Rewind Rounds
  • Column 4 Trait: Desperate Measures
  • Masterwork: Reload
  • Origin Trait: Indomintability
  • Weapon Mod: Backup Mag

Traditionally with pulse rifles, you want to go with Arrowhead Brake to improve the recoil of the weapon and Elsie’s Rifle is no exception. This will give us 100 recoil direction allowing our recoil pattern to be vertical and easily manageable. Reload Speed is a vital stat for PVE as it reduces our downtime spent reloading, so our Reload masterwork, Flared Magwell, and Rewind Rounds perks boost how much downtime we have between empty magazines and how often we have to reload. Lastly, Desperate Measures is a massive boost in damage that at full stacks makes the weapon pack a punch.

Elsie’s Rifle is one of the most iconic pulse rifle models ever released across Destiny 1 and 2. With a fantastic perk selection, you would be hard-pressed to find a better pulse rifle that is so easily farmable.

How to Get Elsie’s Rifle

Elsie’s Rifle can be obtained from Onslaught, the new activity released with the Into the Light update. To enter Onslaught, go to your Director map, select Into the Light, then queue for the Onslaught activity. While in Onslaught, you can get multiple weapons by completing the 50 waves of the activity and by ranking up Lord Shaxx Onslaught’s reputation. Going to the Hall of Champions social area, found within the Into the Light map area, you can turn in Trophies of Bravery at the chest next to Lord Shaxx for additional weapons. Lastly, you can attune your loot for a specific weapon, increasing the chances of dropping that weapon when obtaining an Onslaught loot.
