Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine Weapons Guide: Best God Rolls to Farm

Discover top Destiny 2 weapons and strategies in the Rite of the Nine event, featuring powerful drops and optimal rolls for PvE and PvP success.

Hey Guardians! As I'm diving into Destiny 2's Rite of the Nine event this week, I'm reminded why seasonal activities still get my heart racing. This dungeon-focused event running through July 2025 bridges Episode Heresy and the upcoming Edge of Fate expansion, throwing us into rotating challenges across Spire of the Watcher, Ghosts of the Deep, and Prophecy dungeons. What's got me grinding? Those sweet reprised weapons with shiny Adept versions! Just like 2023's Into the Light, we can attune to specific weapons for better drop rates. But let's be real – not every gun deserves your precious vault space. After dozens of runs, I've compiled which weapons actually warrant your time and what god rolls to chase. Grab your favorite engram decoder and let's break it down! 😎

🔫 12. New Pacific Epitaph (Stasis Wave Frame GL)

Dropping from Ghosts of the Deep – arguably the most painful dungeon to farm – this Stasis grenade launcher gets priority just for rarity alone. Wave frames aren't the meta kings they were when Forebearance reigned supreme, but they still shred crowds. My top combo? Lead from Gold + Chain Reaction. That ammo economy keeps you blasting, while Chain Reaction cleans up stragglers despite recent nerfs. Not essential if you're tight on vault space, but a solid choice when you need crowd control.

🎯 11. Long Arm (Arc Scout Rifle)

Yeehaw, partner! This Spire of the Watcher lever-action scout rifle screams Wild West aesthetics. With its 120 RPM and Tex Balanced Stock origin trait, it's built for hip-firing precision. Honestly? It's budget Dead Man's Tale. For PVE, Rapid Hit + Dragonfly solves its sluggish reload while creating satisfying explosions. If you insist on hip-firing, pair it with Lunafaction Boots (Warlocks), Radiant Dance Machines (Hunters), or Lion Rampant (Titans). But seriously – just use DMT unless you need the exotic slot free.

❄️ 10. Liminal Vigil (Stasis Burst Sidearm)

Another Spire drop suffering from rocket sidearm dominance. Tinasha's Mastery outclasses it, but don't sleep on its crisp handling! For PVE, skip the basic Headstone + Rimestealer combo everyone chases. Instead, Attrition Orbs + Desperate Measures creates constant orbs while ramping damage. In PVP? Lone Wolf + Kill Clip delivers an impressive TTK. Still gets outshined by Drang or Heliocentric though.

🔱 9. Judgment (Stasis Hand Cannon)

This Prophecy adaptive frame (140 RPM) feels nostalgic but gets overshadowed by Zaouli's Bane or Fatebringer in PVE. PVP? That's where it shines. Lone Wolf + Opening Shot gives clumsy shots like me a fighting chance. If hand cannons make you sweat in Crucible, this might ease the pain.

🌀 8. Relentless (Strand Pulse Rifle)

Surprise standout from Prophecy! This high-impact pulse melts in both PVE and PVP. Firefly or Hatchling (must for Strand builds!) in column three, plus Paracausal Affinity for that sweet 20% damage boost. Crucible mains crave Lone Wolf + Headseeker/Desperado. Not revolutionary, but wonderfully versatile.

⚡ 7. Prosecutor (Arc Auto Rifle)

Possibly Destiny's sexiest legendary auto rifle from Prophecy. PVP? Zen Moment + Paracausal Affinity helps, but autos still struggle there. PVE is its playground: Dragonfly + Voltshot creates chain explosions that clear rooms faster than a Well of Radiance at a DPS phase. Reload synergy makes it feel buttery smooth!

💥 6. Terminus Horizon (Arc Machine Gun)

Spire's heavy hitter! Think "Arc Commemoration" with its Reconstruction + Killing Tally god roll. But let's get creative: Dragonfly + Jolting Feedback turns you into a walking thunderstorm while passively countering Overload Champions! For mini-boss melting? Triple Tap + Precision Instrument. Heavy ammo well spent.

🔥 5. Greasy Luck (Solar Glaive)

Ghosts of the Deep delivers this rapid-fire beast during glaives' golden era. Heal Clip + Incandescent = pure Solar synergy bliss. Alternative? Lead from Gold + Close to Melee for aggressive play. Chain Reaction tempts, but Incandescent works better with Prismatic builds. A must for glaive enthusiasts!

💣 4. Wilderflight (Void GL)

Spire's double-fire GL got a MASSIVE reprisal glow-up. Three build paths:

• Add-clear: Repulsor Brace + Destabilizing Rounds (but Lotus Eater does this better)

• Utility: Disorienting Grenades + Slideshot + Lead from Gold for permanent blinding

• DPS: Envious Arsenal + Bait and Switch for hotswap madness during long damage phases

My secret prep for Simmumah Ur-Nokru rotations!

🔥 3. No Survivors (Solar SMG)

Ghosts of the Deep's crowd-pleaser! Heal Clip + Incandescent makes it PVE royalty, but PVP is where it truly excels. New perk pool blessed it with Master of Arms (25% dmg) or Sword Logic (15% dmg) – pair with Range/Stability MW to dominate Crucible. The Immortal's spiritual successor!
