How to Obtain the Locus Locutus in Destiny 2

This includes end of activity rewards for Altars of Summoning or Savathun’s Spire, Season of the Witch Weekly Challenges, and turning in Witch’s Engrams. Once the weapon has been earned you can focus it at the Ritual Table in the H.E.L.M for Witch’s Engrams, Glimmer, and Legendary Shards.

Locus Locutus PvE God Roll
Our choices for the Locus Locutus PvE God Roll are:
| Column | Trait |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake |
| Magazine | Tactical Mag |
| Column 3 Trait | Overflow |
| Column 4 Trait | Firing Line |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Snipers have been in and out of the meta weapons for years. They pack a massive punch but require a certain amount of accuracy on often very high zoom scopes. However, snipers are some of the best special damage weapons for long range encounters, or against bosses with large crit spots.
Locus Locutus comes packed with solid perks for PvE and one of the best damage perks for group content. The combination of Overflow and Firing Line is incredibly strong and one of the best damage options available. Its incredibly easy to get setup by standing near allies and picking up ammo bricks. We do want to boost our mag with tactical mag and our other perks are to assist in landing accuracy shots or swapping to the weapon faster.
Overall, not the highest damage sniper frame, the Locus Locutus still packs a massive punch and has a great combination for damage perks.
Other great sniper rifles to substitute for this weapon in PvE include:
- Succession, from Deep Stone Crypt Raid
- The Supremacy, from Last Wish Raid
Locus Locutus PvP God Roll
Our choices for the Locus Locutus PvP God Roll are:
| Column | Trait |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds |
| Column 3 Trait | Surplus |
| Column 4 Trait | Opening Shot |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Snipers are a PvP favorite special weapon coming just below shotguns in most use cases. Their one shot potential and accuracy make them a very potent weapon in the hands of a PvP player. They do require some practice to be effective; however, they are incredibly rewarding once the skill curve has been learned.
Locus Locutus has a really strong selection of PvP perks boosting the weapons stats and accuracy allowing an already dangerous weapon to become nearly unstoppable. Building into range and handling is incredibly important on a sniper to give the weapon a better feel and increase out likelihood of landing shots. With that in mind, the recommended perk combination is Surplus and Opening Shot which leans into both our focused stats.
Overall, a powerful sniper for PvP and easy to obtain and craft a desired roll.
Other great sniper rifles to substitute for this weapon in PvP include:

- Volta Bracker, from Neomuna on Neptune
