Destiny 2: What is an Endgame Godroll?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- The elusive “godroll” is something every Destiny player chases: whether you’re climbing the ranks of Competitive, farming Gambit reputation, blitzing through Grandmaster nightfalls, or teaming up with your clan for a raid. No matter what kind of player you are, this video’s goal is to help you deepen your understanding of what weapons are truly the best when the rubber meets the road - in endgame content. If you're the type of player that wants to play to get better and not just play for an activity completion, this video is the right place for you.

Vorpal swap bug has been fixed!
Unreal content yet again. The biggest thing about this is addressing the "Lack of Independence" note in the outro. Even if this video only converts a small number of people from "watch a guide video for each weapon" into "figure out what's best myself by consulting various resources" then it's an absolute win. Thanks for the upload.
That's the dream! Appreciate your words :)
Fun fact about Frenzy, if you take or deal damage it starts a 5 second timer. When you reach 12 seconds, it gives you the frenzy buff. If the 5 second timer expires after the buff is acquired by not dealing or taking damage, it will go away and have to be restarted.
This is for any people who want to know exactly how it works.
12 seconds after 5 seconds??? When 5 seconds has passed 7 seconds ago??? I haven't watched the video yet but wtf am I reading lmao I really hope this makes sense after watching
@@bambampewpew32if you shoot something or something shoots you, the timer gets reset to 5 seconds is what im assuming hes saying
@bambampewpew32 for frenzy to proc, you need to be in combat (shoot or be shot) for 12 seconds. There is an INVISIBLE TIMER of 5 seconds where if nothing happens, everything deactivates. If I'm being shot at for 5 seconds, then nothing happens for 5 more seconds, I would have been only been in combat for 10 seconds, therefore frenzy does not proc and everything restarts back to 0. If frenzy is procced, the same timer applies, if nothing happens for 5 seconds, frenzy goes away and you will need to be in combat for 12 seconds for frenzy to activate again.
So essentially, shoot something or take damage at least 4 seconds within each other and frenzy won't go away.
Genuinely some of the most concise, informative and fantastically delivered D2 content I've seen in ages. Thank you for putting in all this work man. 10/10
It's all garbage

I don’t deserve videos of this quality.
In all seriousness great video! Love the extensive resources you provided and you explained everything ridiculously well in the video. Even though I consider myself decent and independent at choosing god rolls, I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on everything. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I quit destiny around D2 vanilla, and just came back to the game within the last couple weeks.
This was a godsend. Trying to figure out how to evaluate my rolls has been a PAIN. And you covered what weapon types are good for what, and why. Super appreciated.
Absolute quality, I hope these get more attention so new players could learn what the game doesn't tell them
Easily one of the best videos of this kind I've ever watched. You were able to put into coherent and concrete theory what is almost instinctive for veteran players and very very confusing for new lights. That's something most can't get right, at least not with this degree of complexity.
Appreciate it, I'm working on more endgame theory type videos like this one :)
@@TheAegisRelic you definitely should post more of those, you're doing great
Man just got back into destiny after year away and you make the most detailed videos. I’m glad I found your page! I been playing destiny since the beginning off and watched millions of videos from other people but your videos are the best. Keep up the good work I know how much time it take to make detailed videos like yours.
Glad you're enjoying the videos!

Apparently putting colons in your chapter names stops them from working - thanks for reminding me to fix that :P
Something I always find fascinating are the perks that are worth using otherwise bad weapons for. I was using things like Eyasluna and Stay Frosty before their frames got buffed exclusively for the headstone procs in certain situations. You can also see this with perks like incandescent, voltshot, or really any of the "I was literally made to synergize with your build" perks. Because those benefits are just that good. For example, IMO path of least resistance is a bad trace rifle at base. It just feels bad to shoot without a loooot of help. But that shoot to loot voltshot combo is so powerful that it makes the cut anyways. Or Lubrae's Ruin. It's just worse than Kelgorath in almost every way. But that origin trait is soooo juicy that it can be worth anyways. But when I run a sherpa and the blueberries see me use those, they always get confused. IDK it just kinda feels cool to realize things like that. "Whoah this weird jank thing everyone wrote off might actually save me time on my next run" type stuff. You really love to see it
A perk has to literally change how you play the game (Shoot to Loot, Adaptive Munitions) for it to be this way, as well as have no competing options with the same perk if we're talking weapons, but yeah, it's an interesting concept.
Please never stop making these videos, this was incredibly useful and as someone who loves data and looking at numbers, this helps so so much
Very comprehensive. It's taken me 2000 hours of game time to know this stuff like the back of my hand and even still there are things I don't know or aren't good enough to use. I am not a fan of breach GLs, bows or trace rifles. The last one feels like a shot in the leg but traces feel really weak so I've refrained from using them. I really want to know how to use them properly. As one of my friends said "think of them as special ammo auto rifles"
i'm happy with my hung jury with kinetic tremors, thank you.
In all seriousness though, this was a super helpful video. I'm not really into much more difficult content than legendary lost sectors since I don't usually have other people to play with, but it's super interesting to see what goes into determining "good" weapons for people who are into it. Thank you for putting the time into making this, I'll definitely be looking back at it for quite a while to come!
Yet again another banger of a video. The information presented here and the editing are superb well done again mr Aegis
AEGIS THE GOAT FR FR🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been up and down on Destiny 2 for the last 2 seasons, and these guides have completely relit that fire for the game again! Thanks!!!
this is great. as a newer players i have been looking for the info in the first half about weapon selection and how it all fits together. this is the most clearly i have seen this info communicated. and i definitely will be going through my end game loadouts with this info in mind.
While I personally know a lot of this stuff already, I have to say this is a very well put together video. You explained everything here really well. :)
Knew everything you mentioned in the video but still stayed to the end. You the goat for this man 💪
Insanely good content, I am going to do all I can to get the people I play with to watch this. I do think that utilising even a few "speedrunning" tips can make any run much more consistent, faster and at least IMHO, more enjoyable.
12:08 I dunno, back when it was at it's prime, Veist Stinger was kinda make-or-break for a good bit of hot PvE adclear and boss damage options. It's partially why Funnelweb got away with having mediocre perks (the other reasons being its type/archetype and element)
Veist Stinger was certainly very good on Reed's!
Nice, this is actually a video I was hoping someone would make so I can share it with some of my less experienced friends, thanks for doing this!
Of course Line :3
An absolutely incredible video once again. Great work!
I consider myself a relatively learned and experienced player, and still managed to learn so much from this; awesome video.
Thank you for making this, this was perfect!
Fantastic Video, i will make sure to spread this to my friends who have just started. Looking forward to a video on perks.
Great video, clicked on for timelost fatebringer in the thumbnail but stayed for the quality, explosive payload+frenzy kicks so GD hard. I swear it feels like having x3 stacks of rampage + outlaw up at all times, best PvE handcannon in the game by far
Double damage perk + double uptime/utility perk at the same time is nuts haha
3 weeks later and still helping people, thanks for the informative vid mate!
These are the videos, I like: giving you a systematic approach to find your own built, at least in the beginning ;)
I love that your content is more centered around teaching people how to find what works for them and not just the "crazy new build" and the "generic 5 out of 5 god roll" like most other content creator. great stuff man! Im dropping a sub and pinning some of your vids in my discord channel. Keep up the good work. looking forward to future content.
I wish i had these videos when i started playing destiny 2. good job, keep it up
Thanks man. It was an overwhelming amount of knowledge, but it gives a lot to look forward to. In addition how the game can be fun and rewarding to players who want to see end game content. Thanks again, best wishes 🤙
Incredible stuff, keep it coming.

Restoration ritual on the ghost of the deep weapons would like a word lmao
Hahaha yeah I had to eat my words soon after
Amazing content, bro. Truly next level.
masterpiece 🗣️
may this finally free everyone from the dreaded, “is this a god roll?” question followed by listing out the most horrid perk combinations bungie can muster
This is so good. Its something we all know but not something anyone has bothered to explain to new players. Bravo!
one of the most informative, well made videos in a long time.
Great video, thank you! Required reading for all end-game players, I will be referring people here and I myself will be back for more. Keep it up!
This was a great video. Thanks a lot
thank you for this gem of a video, i can't imagine how long this video took to script and edit, a must watch for every beginner / returning player
Gotta be one of if not thee most informative D2 weapon video out
Well....im really glad i found this channel. Subscribed!
More of this kind of content plz! This video was to good
Excellent video dude. Perfect for everyone tbh
The only beef I have is with the stats that matter and its actually about what the target audience needs rather than the info being presented. It's very briefly touched on indirectly during the stat section, but it's really not called out anywhere else in a meaningful way that is clear to new players who will likely not know better to adjust accordingly. One of the most important aspects of DPS during high end content is that a missed shot does 0 dps.
For those weapons that kick harder making it easier to miss crit spots in certain DPS locations, or on projectiles in fights where it's higher risk where you can find yourself missing shots because of boss movement (Nez jumping and rockets going through him during attack animations 😑) having stability or velocity to help be reliable isn't always a bad thing.
Having less optimal reload/ready time and being more reliable at hitting all shots/more crits is better than having higher uptime but flubbing shots. Players should always practice with their weapons, and if they find they aren't as reliably accurate, maybe consider some other stats or perks that help keep those shots consistent.
Not all god rolls will be god rolls for your personal needs. This video covers god rolls given optimal conditions/optimal players using them, and is a factor to consider.
Of course! This video is targeted towards players looking for optimal play :)
Thanks for the great work!
No one, I mean no single content creator, can make this kind of video. Only you. I hope success comes your way, and you become the de facto end game content creator
Great video, I need to finish crafting my retraced that way bc I was unsure what to roll on it. I’m surprised at the lack of conditional finality mention, it’s probably the best special shotty, especially for champion content, it’s like a shotgun version of Izanagi.
I mentioned Conditional Finality in another comment here, but the summary is that its damage scaling falls off in higher level content and that it requires both pellets and a 3.0 effect to trigger
Great video, one aspect i think you missed in coverage is primary weapons and when to use them (aside from the odd excotic you mentioned)
In endgame content primaries are essentially restricted to solo content and situational champion stuns (I talk about this in my double special video a fair amount)
As someone that doesn’t really need to learn anything from this vid can say for a new player that wants to get into endgame play this is a vary well made video m. Good job an would love to see similar vids in the future 👍
This video should be the standard for everyone to watch
Great video dude keep it up
Man, incredibly useful stuff here. Thanks for teaching us! Now I can stop bothering my clan 🤣
Aegis giving the uploads we need
Even though I didn't necessarily learn anything new, the amount of effort and quality you put into this video more than deserves a sub, and I will absolutely send this to anyone who I feel could use this information. Seriously great job, I don't think it's even possible to improve the video.
Means a lot, thank you!
I'm frankly surprised you don't talk about osteo striga in this.
Probably one of the single strongest primary ammo options, benefits from the primary & kinetic bonus to damage, good for ad clear, and useful for triggering damage over time effects (thread of generation in the broodweaver DPS cycle) when another player already as witherboard going.
Osteo isn't bad, I mention it in my double special video I believe :)
Thanks algorithm for this great breakdown. I started out the same way with picking allround godrolls that worked in any context. As I moved into endgame tho in the past couple years, you're absolutely right the activity type and weapon type really is a greater consideration. A raid godroll isnt necessarily a GM godroll.
This video is great! I started mid season of Plunder and was lucky enough to be thrust into fireteams and friendships with people with a crazy deep understanding of the game so i got some good knowledge very early into my playtime, but i have friends who like to run things solo or who might be part of different groups who dont have access to as much community knowledge at their fingertips. this video is AMAZING for that purpose. It said everything i almost always want to say but dont have the visual assistance or frankly, communication skills to effectively portray what needs to be said. This is definitely a video ill be sharing with some folks less experienced than me for the foreseeable future. good shit gamer.
P.S. I do want to note that in Season 21 depending on what Bungie does with any potential Last Wish weapon changes, Apex Predator might become the dominant stand alone rocket launcher so keep an eye on that one, it could be interesting.
The best info provided 💯🙏🏻
Bro as a return Destiny 2 player this is a god sent. Thank you!
Very good video. Definetly send to my Blueberries)
Little input about stability. It's not that useless as stated, because Controller input still exists. I do really enjoy using steady and richochete over mag-size ones(exept flarred magwell), because missing shots is kind of losing uptime
Great video!
Amazing video! Keep it up and good luck with life brother
mans is giving the community crucial info that they NEED
You sir, just earned yourself a sub. It's refreshing to hear the research you put into explaining each of the weapon arctypes and thier respective optimal roll. Wish more D2 youtubers could do that rather then shilling out a click bait alleged godroll video of a weapon. Well done!
probably the best d2 creator there is right now. keep it up man!
Got this vid randomly recommended and I'm happy with it. Even more than 3k hours in I still enjoy listening to vids like this. It's kind of hilarious how people hunt god rolls in D2 nearly fanatically but D1 was like "Do you have gun?" "Yes?" "Good. Let's go kill God."
Something not mentioned in the Barrel/Mag section is weapons that are already using high uptime options for stats like Reload/Handling (Frenzy is the best example, it maxes out your Reload and Handling for free, and has high uptime) you can also probably just use higher mag size and/or range/stability to make the weapon feel better, since under ideal circumstances, you'll never not be benefitting from that.
Also personally I think that while range and stability are not preferred stats, they are not completely useless. If you don't need the handling or reload speed, they help specials reach their optimal damage ranges sooner and helps primaries feel better for plinking at champs and such.
We making it out the intro sequence in Vow with this one 🗣️🔥💯
On controller I think tactical mag/battery is a better pick than flared magwell most of the time. The extra shot(s) on some weapons is really nice and the stability you get is great for controller and the reload bonus is not much less than flared.
worlds greatest destiny 2 guide to weapons
Timelost Fatebringer with explosive frenzy/firefly will probably be my biggest weapon flex
are you editing yourself? this is so good god damn
Yeah this video took me a full week to make, I'm getting better at it though
I think something that would be a cool tier list from you, would be a endgame viability list of all exotics (both armor and weapons).
And given your experience and expertise, it think it could improve a lot of players knowledge and understanding on what to use.
Definitely working on this one :)
@@TheAegisRelic stellar, looking forward to it😎
Insanely good video
Ive been thinking about alot of this recently
You mentioned Lingering Dread while talking about chill clip but forgot about that it also has access to Disorienting Nades and ALH in 3rd column.
Disorienting / ALH / CC is the quintessential Lingering roll for sure, it's in the shopping list spreadsheet :)
EXCELLENT video!
What a great video... Very very very impressive
Damage and reload speed. Simple for me lol. Non kill based damage perks like frenzy are best for GMs and underlevel stuff. Frenzy is perfect since it does both. Bungie should link vids like this in the new light campaign lol
I’m sorry what level is that retraced path??
In all seriousness, awesome advice, really thorough and concise, very helpful!
(Psst, what sensitivity + dpi do you use lol)
I think I have an eDPI of 4800 (800 DPI, 6 ingame)
@@TheAegisRelic I don’t get how people are so fast with sensitivities like this! I use 1100 DPI and 5 ingame
Suppose it’s probably better for me to get used to a lower sens though considering it’ll be easier to control…
Thanks for telling me!
THANK YOU sending this to people who ask me after every drop you're a GOAT
My end game smg The Title with chamber comp, flared mag, perpetual, repulsor and reload masterwork. Check your vault as it is better than funnel cakes.
bro is an actual youtuber now sheesh
thats my relic right there
I love you flying car
Great video. I've been thinking about crafting RoN linear with enhanced Surrounded but from watching background gameplay of spire dungeon it didn't seem to proc for whole dps. Did you use gameplay with gun without surrounded or buff wasn't listed in buffs/debuffs hud? Either way still great breakdown.
Buffs window maxes out at 4, annoying :)
My favorite gr is still substance rampage extraordinary rendition
Notice how no content creator was willing to go this deep and this meaningful into a topic like this. If at the very least 30% of the destiny player base watches this video, I guarantee we can see a massive change in how people play this game. No longer will we call each other blueberries. No longer will we tirelessly slog through meaningless explanations and the same song and dance over and over and over again. No longer will anyone, not even the freshest of new lights, be left in the dark. With all this knowledge and resources at our disposal, nothing stands in our way.
Bungie will see a paradigm shift in how players can absolutely decimate whatever they make. New raid? Done in 30 minutes. Dungeon boss? Cleared in how long hot pockets can take to be heated up. Reprised nightfall? Done blindfolded and one arm behind.
I love it, and I’m here for it. On my own namesake I solemnly swear, *I will be there no matter what.*
Let’s break this game. Together
Blown away by this description hahaha
One of the best informative video i've seen, clearly. Now I have a question, why everyone prefer impact casing instead of alloy casing on RL ? I get that it's a around 2% dmg increase but, in a lot of DPS situations +30 reload could be one more rocket
In DPS scenarios where dumping all your rockets matters, you usually have access to Lunafaction Boots, which max your reload (people also have Field Prep too).
i actually didn't know about briars enhanced surrounded thats sick lol
I'd say that another contender for an arc slug in tandem with hothead is Gunnora's axe, it can roll with the same perks as first in, last out.
Yeah it's not the best option without Assault Mag but it's certainly one worth considering
@@TheAegisRelic To be completely honest, the only reason I mentioned it is because it's the only good Arc slug that I have lmao. I haven't gotten a first in, last out in a long while
Great video but is there any reason why you didn't talk about abilities a lot when it comes to filling these roles? Also is cold comfort better than hothead?
This video focuses more on weapons alone, but abilities certainly play an essential role in today's meta (see the double special video). Cold Comfort is situationally better than Hothead, yes.
ANOTHER AEGIS BANGER!!!! my goat :3
Hi since not everyone have a cartesian coordinate , what do u think about the iterative loop ? and what would be the 5/5 god roll for it? and thanks amazing video
It does mostly the same job, useful for Voltshot application too
Been 2 years playing d2 start finding difficulty to clear my vault
This is the single handed best destiny 2 video out atm. It doesn’t scream “HEY THIS IS THE META” but more this is why… also what to look out for because….. I love it!
If I have one or two things to correct from this video is that Lasting Impression is a terrible perk since it usually makes us loose 1 or 2 shots of a rocket per dps phase, and that there's better options gor rockets nowdays in Season of the Deep with the Cold Confort (Envious - B&S) and Apex Predator (Slideways/Reconstruction - B&S)
This video was made before S21, but yeah Lasting is generally not the best rocket perk (if you time your rockets right you can still get a similar number of rockets per phase, it's just that the perk interacts horribly with Pack Hunter).
I thought I knew all I needed to know, turns out I ain’t done learning 😂
Don't mean to sound like a broken record bro. But as a destiny veteran this is probably the best weapon break down I've ever watched. This is an emerald mine of knowledge for anyone. Amazing job man you deserve the praise 👏
Thank you, every bit of support helps so no worries :)
