The best perks for the Hammerhead PVE God Roll are Arrowhead Brake, Ricochet Rounds, Rampage, and Onslaught. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.
The following list is the best perks for the Hammerhead PVE God Roll in Destiny 2:

Arrowhead Brake and Ricochet Rounds are some of the best barrel and magazine options to keep Hammerhead stable and allow us to constantly deal damage. Also, Rampage and Onslaught pair together to provide us with a stacking damage boost and a stacking fire rate. Furthermore, this allows us to hit harder and shoot faster and gives the weapon superior trash mob clearing potential.
Machine guns are notorious for dealing with hordes of enemies with a fast firing rate and large magazines. Hammerhead has some very strong pairings which make it one of the best weapons to clear mobs of enemies and deal sustained damage.
Hammerhead PvP God Roll
The best perks for the Hammerhead PVP God Roll are Arrowhead Brake, Ricochet Rounds, Under-Over, and Desperate Measures. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.
The following list is the best perks for the Hammerhead PVP God Roll in Destiny 2:
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
- Column 3 Trait: Under-Over
- Column 4 Trait: Desperate Measures
- Masterwork: Handling
- Origin Trait: Indomitability
- Weapon Mod: Quick Access Sling
Similarly to PVE, Arrowhead Brake and Ricochet Rounds allow the weapon additional consistency which is important for PVP where missing a single shot can be death. Under-Over provides a boost of damage to enemy shields and Desperate Measures gives a stacking damage buff on kills with the weapon and ability kills. Since these boost our time to kill and allow us to chain kills across multiple enemies they make a great pairing.
Machine guns are great PVP weapons to get multiple eliminations with a single heavy ammo weapon pickup. Hammerhead is no exception since it has some great perks that give us consistent damage and can allow us to put high-damage pressure on our enemies with a single shot.
How to Get Hammerhead in Destiny 2
You can obtain Hammerhead 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 activity and 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, attune your loot for a specific weapon, increasing the chances of additional drops of the weapon in Onslaught activities.
