PvE – Perpetualis God Roll
The Perpetualis is one of our first Strand primary weapons, and for what it is, it looks like a decent weapon. Adaptive frame Auto Rifles aren’t typically sought after as they are as their name suggest a jack of all trades and master of none, but this one deserves a shot.
The following list presents Destiny 2 Perpetualis God Roll for PvE:
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake |
|---|---|
| Magazine | Tactical Mag, Appended Mag |
| Perk 1 | Enhanced Envious Assassin |
| Perk 2 | Enhanced Hatchling |
| Origin Trait | Noble Deeds |
| Masterwork | Stability, Range |
| Mod | Counterbalance Stock |
Perpetualis God Roll for PvE Traits Explained
Barrel: When it comes to Auto Rifles keeping your reticle on target can be more difficult than other weapons, especially on controller. Arrowhead break makes that Recoil much, much easier to control. Smallbore, Polygonal Rifling, Hammer-Forged Rifling, and Fluted Barrel are decent picks for this slot.
Magazine: In PvE we want to fire as many rounds as quickly as possible. This means we don’t want to waste time reloading. Tactical or Appended Mag helps us with that a lot, with Tactical Mag giving us some Stability and Appended Mag giving us more rounds in the magazine. Either works great.
Column 3 Perk: This column has many okay perks but nothing that jumps out as a must-have. Envious Assassin helps our ammo economy, which is great for primary add-clearing weapons like this. Keep Away has some fun potential but is situational in the worst way. Killing Wind (and Zen Moment on controller) are always nice safe choices as well.
Column 4 Perk: Historically, the elemental proc perks are always the best to use, especially for build crafting, so Hatchling seemed the best choice here. But don’t turn away from Demolitionist, Golden Tricorn, or Target Lock. Overall, this gun would be great to fit into certain build types and can fit in about anywhere with the right perks.
Origin: No choice here. There is only one trait.
Masterwork: When it comes to Auto Rifles in PvE, both Stability and Range are great masterworks or frames to have. In PvE, there is no right choice at all, so don’t get upset if you get either one.
Mod: The Counterbalance Stock mod will help this weapon shoot much straighter than if you didn’t have it. You could flex out a damage spec mod in its place easily if you don’t mind the additional recoil.
PvP – Perpetualis God Roll
The following list presents Destiny 2 Perpetualis God Roll for PvP
| Barrel | Hammer-Forged Rifling |
|---|---|
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds |
| Perk 1 | Enhanced Elemental Capacitor |
| Perk 2 | Enhanced Eye of the Storm |
| Origin Trait | Noble Deeds |
| Masterwork | Handling |
| Mod | Quick Access Sling |
Perpetualis God Roll for PvP Traits Explained
Barrel: Regarding Auto Rifles keeping your reticle on target can be more difficult than other weapons, especially on controller. Arrowhead break makes that Recoil much easier to control. If you are on PC, you may be able to control it a bit easier, so feel free to take Hammer-Forged Rifling to get that Range up higher.
Magazine: In PvP, it’s less about how many rounds you put down range and more about how many hit your target. Accurized Rounds will give you a solid +10 to Range, improving your accuracy when your opponents are further off.
Column 3 Perk: Elemental Capacitor is an awesome Perk for PvP, especially if you are running Void or Arc. Killing Wind would also be amazing here. A fun combo may also be Hip-Fire Grip paired with Offhand Strike in column 4.
Column 4 Perk: Eye of the Storm remains one of the best perks for PvP. Granting you a buff that can help you edge out that win in a 1v1 gunfight always has its uses. A fun combo can also be created if you take Offhand Strike with Hip-Fire Grip in Column 3.
Origin: No choice here. There is only one trait.
Masterwork: While its true that Range and Stability both work for PvP masterworks, this is a god roll post, and Range is better than Stability for PvP in almost all cases.
Mod: You can never go wrong with a Targeting Adjuster Mod in PvP.
Conclusion: The Auto Rifle PvP Meta has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still effective. Our god roll has the potential to do some work, and the Hip-Fire/Offhand combo may end up beating it out.
