Destiny 2 The Eremite Fusion Rifle

This guide has been updated for Episodes Echoes and the Final Shape Expansion.

The Eremite is a High-Impact Frame Solar Fusion Rifle from Season 22 Season of the Witch. While the weapon is a high-impact frame that can off-put some people, it’s still incredibly strong so don’t sleep on it.

The best perks for the Eremite PVE God Roll are Arrowhead Brake, Enhanced Battery, Envious Assassin, and Controlled Burst. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.

  • Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
  • Magazine: Enhanced Battery
  • Column 3 Trait: Envious Assassin
  • Column 4 Trait: Controlled Burst
  • Masterwork: Charge Time
  • Origin Trait: Head Rush
  • Weapon Mod: Backup Mag

Fusion rifles are powerhouses of damage in PvE. Packing high bursts and overall damage into one weapon has given the fusion a consistent role in damage phases. They do require being closer to your target than you may like, so they can be situational. However, even with these restrictions, fusions are some of the best special weapons for PvE.

With a strong selection of PvE perks, you will be hard-pressed to find a combination of perks that don’t work well on the Eremite. However, one perk combination stands out among the rest: Envious Assassin and Controlled Burst. With these two perks, you will constantly have a massive magazine and a nice damage perk capable of pumping out massive damage.

Overall, high-impact frames can feel lackluster due to their longer charge time, they pack a massive punch to offset its negative. Regardless, this is a great option if you don’t have a good fusion rifle already.

The Eremite PvP God Roll

The best perks for the Eremite PVP God Roll are Arrowhead Brake, Particle Repeater, Slickdraw, and Cornered. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.

  • Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
  • Magazine: Particle Repeater
  • Column 3 Trait: Slickdraw
  • Column 4 Trait: Cornered
  • Masterwork: Stability
  • Origin Trait: Head Rush
  • Weapon Mod: Freehand Grip

Fusion rifles are a strong close-range special weapon capable of one-shotting enemies from twenty or more meters away. They do require some aim and accuracy, but they far exceed the range of shotgun one-shot kills. Used often to deal with overly aggressive enemies or shotgun-rushing Titans, fusion rifles are quite potent weapons in the right hands.

The Eremite doesn’t hold the strongest perk pool for PvP, but it does have one selection that stands out. Slickdraw and Cornered are a great combination with high stability, allowing the weapon to be insanely accurate and deadly. With a long charge time, it is recommended to pre-charge the weapon before the enemies push you. This allows you to get off your shots as soon as you see the enemies, which allows you to succeed in most engagements.
