Prophecy's Top Weapon Rolls for Destiny 2's Rite of Nine
Discover the impactful Prophecy dungeon rework in Destiny 2, featuring powerful weapon perks and endgame potential that redefine gameplay in 2025.
I've been grinding the Prophecy dungeon since its loot refresh dropped in Destiny 2's Rite of the Nine event, and let me tell you – this is hands-down the most impactful dungeon reprise we've seen. Bungie didn't just slap new perks on these classics; they gave four weapons a second origin trait and completely redefined their viability. What blows my mind is how each weapon now has genuine endgame potential. 
Suddenly, that old dusty Prophecy run feels fresh and urgent, especially knowing these rolls vanish when the event ends. For Guardians sleeping on this update, wake up – we're talking about unique perk combinations you literally can't get anywhere else in 2025.
A Sudden Death
This Aggressive Frame shotgun rewrote the rules overnight. Getting One-Two Punch AND Trench Barrel together? Insanity. I tested it on Europa's Brigs – punch once, dump three buffed shots, repeat. It shreds champions like paper. For melee builds? Game-changing synergy. Crucible mains shouldn't overlook it either. Yeah, Precisions dominate, but pair Threat Detector with Closing Time and you've got handling near 100. It out-ranges most 55 RPM shotties once you master the kick. Here's the god roll blueprint:
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Smallbore | Assault Mag | One-Two Punch | Trench Barrel | Range |
| PvP | Corkscrew Rifling | Accurized Rounds | Threat Detector | Closing Time | Range |
Judgment
Honestly? This hand cannon struggles to stand out. Stasis builds can use Headstone + Rimestealer, but why bother when Eyasluna exists? I'd chase Timed Payload instead – staggers unstops beautifully. In Crucible, it's outclassed by Rose and Exalted Truth. Though for new players, Lone Wolf + Timed Payload creates decent duel potential. Just don't expect easy flawless runs with it. Solid roll options:
| Roll Type | Sight | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Fastdraw HCS | Ricochet Rounds | Headstone | Timed Payload/Precision Instrument | Range |
| PvP | Fastdraw HCS | Ricochet Rounds | Lone Wolf | Timed Payload | Range |
Prosecutor
This auto rifle shocked me. Onslaught transforms it from plinker to beast – at max stacks, you're firing 720 RPM with 450 RPM damage. Paired with Dragonfly? Add clear heaven. Or go Attrition Orbs for infinite armor charge loops. PvP is where it truly shines though. Target Lock slashes TTK to 0.67 seconds. Slot Zen Moment to laugh off flinch or Keep Away for stat boosts. Just engage at mid-range; up close gets messy. Must-have rolls:
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Arrowhead Brake | Ricochet Rounds | Dragonfly/Attrition Orbs | Onslaught | Range |
| PvP | Arrowhead Brake | Ricochet Rounds | Zen Moment/Keep Away | Target Lock | Range |
Relentless
A Strand 340 RPM pulse with Firefly? Yes please. Solar explosions on precision kills while dealing Strand damage – pure Prismatic synergy. Desperado feels amazing too; chain precision kills for non-stop rampages. Crucible viability surprised me. Lone Wolf patches its sluggish handling, while Headseeker forgives body shots. Or gamble with Desperado for TTK cheese after one precision kill. God roll priorities:
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Smallbore | Ricochet Rounds | Firefly | Paracasual Affinity/Desperado | Range |
| PvP | Smallbore | Ricochet Rounds | Lone Wolf | Headseeker/Desperado | Range |
After weeks testing these, I'm convinced Prophecy's loot refresh is Bungie's best dungeon update yet. These weapons aren't just viable – they enable entirely new builds in 2025's meta. But with Rite of Nine ending soon, which roll are you sacrificing sleep for?
