Welcome to our Destiny 2 Fatebringer and How to Get guide. The Fatebringer is a kinetic adaptive frame hand cannon launched with the release of the reprised Vault of Glass raid. This hand cannon comes equipped with some of the strongest PVE and PVP perks across the game and is truly a must have.
Hand cannons have always been iconic within the Destiny franchise fulfilling the fun fantasy of space cowboys with magic. Hand cannons have been strong in PVE as a great ant-champion weapon and a powerhouse of a kinetic weapon. In PVP, they are some of the strongest weapons in the game and have been for years due to their range and ease of use.

How to Obtain Fatebringer
Fatebringer is obtained in the Vault of Glass raid from available in the Legends Tab. Specifically, it has a chance to drop from the third encounter, Templar. Once acquired for the first time, it has a chance to drop from the three hidden chests as well. After the final encounter, a loot chest can be interacted with to focus the weapon with Spoils of Conquest, provided the weapon has been obtained before and unlocked in collections.
PVE Fatebringer God Roll
The following list includes all Destiny 2 Fatebringer God Roll traits for PVE.
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds |
| Perk 1 | Explosive Payload |
| Perk 2 | Frenzy |
| Masterwork | Range |
| Mod | Major Spec |
Barrel: For the barrel perk, we are going with Fluted Barrel. This gives a sizable boost to our handling and stability allowing us to draw and aim down sights after and reduce our flinch from incoming fire.
Magazine: Accurized Rounds are the choice for our mag. Accurized Rounds give a massive boost to the range stat which increases the range at which aim assist will fall off. This gives you the greater chance to land your shots from even farther.
Column 3 Perk: Our third column choice is Explosive Payload. This splits our bullets damage into two instances the impact and a buffed small explosion giving us a boost in damage.
Column 4 Perk: For our final column perk, Frenzy is the must have. This will boost our reload, handling, and give us a damage boost while being in combat for a short duration.
Masterwork: Our obvious choice for masterwork is Range as this allows us to deal the same damage from farther away.
Mod: For the mod, we are choosing Major Spec. Since hand cannons pack a punch, they will kill most low health enemies quite fast so instead we are going to boost our damage to larger health enemies.
Conclusion: Hand cannons have the strength of a cannon, packing a massive punch for any enemy unfortunately enough to be on the receiving end of their bullets. While they can feel lack lust in lower end content due to poor reloads and slow rate of fire, they are a fantastic end game weapon especially when paired with anti-champion artifact passives.
PVP Fatebringer God Roll
The following list includes all Destiny 2 Fatebringer God Roll traits for PVP
| Barrel | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds |
| Perk 1 | Explosive Payload |
| Perk 2 | Eye of the Storm |
| Masterwork | Range |
| Mod | Icarus Grip |
Barrel: For the barrel perk, we are going with Smallbore. This gives a sizable boost to our range and stability increasing our damage fall off distance and reducing our flinch and recoil.
Magazine: Accurized Rounds are the choice for our mag. Accurized Rounds give a massive boost to the range stat. This gives you the greater chance to land your shots from even farther.
Column 3 Perk: We are going with Explosive Payload. This splits our bullets damage into two instances the impact and a small explosion giving are weapon effectively infinite range and causing massive flinch to enemies hit.
Column 4 Perk: For our final perk, we are going with Eye of the Storm. This massively boosts our handling and boosts our accuracy after taking some damage. This is incredibly strong for giving us the best chance at winning duels.
Masterwork: Range masterwork is a must have. This masterwork allows us to extend our damage falloff range, increasing our effective damage range window.
Mod: Icarus grip is a great choice here. This gives a passive bonus in our airborne effectiveness increasing the likelihood of landing shots should we be dueling while in the air.
Conclusion: Hand cannons are a staple in PVP for their effectiveness and ease of use. They have never massively had fast time to kill or insane benefits. They just have always performed well and have been a consistent weapon to use. There is no reason to not have one readily available for PVP.
