Learn the Destiny 2 Warden’s Law hand cannon god roll for PvE and PvP content, the best perks, and how to get it!
This guide has been updated for Episode: Echoes and The Final Shape expansion.
The Warden’s Law is a kinetic heavy burst frame hand cannon reintroduced in Season of the Witch. You get the Warden’s Law from playing Nightfalls with its Adept version dropping in the Grandmaster difficulty of the activity. Heavy burst frames were introduced in Season of the Wish, and Warden’s Law is the very first of its kind. Heavy burst frames fire two rounds rather than one, and work well in Lucky Pants Hunter builds.

Warden’s Law PvE God Roll
The best perks for the Warden’s Law PVE God Roll are Smallbore, Appended Mag, Fourth Times the Charm, and Vorpal Weapon. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.
The following list is the best perks for the Warden’s Law PVE God Roll in Destiny 2:
- Barrel: Smallbore
- Magazine: Appended Mag
- Column 3 Trait: Fourth Times the Charm
- Column 4 Trait: Vorpal Weapon
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
- Origin Trait: Stunning Recovery
- Weapon Mod: Back-Up Mag
First of all, looking at our Barrel Perks, plug in anything that improves Range or Stability. Honestly, anything will do, but Smallbore helps both. After that, the best choice for our magazine perk is Appended Mag to put more rounds down range before a reload is necessary.
Warden’s Law is one of the best hand cannons to use along with the Hunter Exotic Lucky Pants. Fourth Times the Charm will make it to where reloading this weapon is a rare occurrence. Vorpal Weapon increases the damage of this weapon against bosses by a huge margin, further improving its Lucky Pants strategy.
Warden’s Law PvP God Roll
The best perks for the Warden’s Law PVP God Roll are Hammer-Forged Rifling, Accurized Rounds, Moving Target, and Zen Moment. These provide important stats, utility, and damage for the weapon.
The following list is the best perks for the Warden’s Law PVP God Roll in Destiny 2:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Column 3 Trait: Moving Target
- Column 4 Trait: Zen Moment
- Masterwork: Range
- Origin Trait: Vanguard’s Vindication
- Weapon Mod: Targeting Adjuster (Adept Range)
In PvP, the perks on this weapon are much more straightforward. It’s all about the Range for the Barrel, Magazine, and Masterwork. Smallbore is our most flexible option for our barrel, but only Accurized Rounds is good in the magazine slot. With the right combination and an Adept Range mod, you can give this weapon 100 Range.
This weapon feels inconsistent. That means our main perks are all about helping feel better to use. Moving Target and Zen Moment will just make this weapon feel better overall by giving us more Aim Assistance and a general boost to flinch resistance. You could opt for Rampage or Kill Clip instead of Zen Moment to get a better TTK value, but you would sacrifice the consistency.
This weapon, while unique and interesting, probably just isn’t the best in PvP. You can do well with it, but the question then becomes “How much better would I be doing with something else?” You would probably just be better off using another Hand Cannon, Pulse Rifle, or Crimson.
How to Get the Warden’s Law in Destiny 2
You obtain the Warden’s Law in the Nightfall playlist. You can get it on certain weeks in a rotation, and higher-difficulty Nightfalls have a higher drop chance. Warden’s Law (Adept) can only be earned by completing Grandmaster Nightfalls when it is the weekly reward. Once the weapon has been earned, you can focus it on Commander Zavala for Vanguard Engrams and Glimmer. The Adept version can only be focused on the weeks it is the weekly Grandmaster reward and only with 10 Nightfall Ciphers.
