Destiny 2 Kepler Weapons: Best Rolls and How to Farm Them

Heavy Burst Hand Cannons have become a staple for Lucky Pants Hunters in PvE. The ramp-up damage combined with the two bursts makes for a terrifying combination. Agape is the first Solar Heavy Burst Hand Cannon we have. If you are chasing a Lucky Pants version of this weapon, you want Rewind Rounds and Vorpal Weapon. For the non-hunter mains, Heal Clip and Incandescent are the classic combination for solar Primaries, although you are better served using other weapons for this purpose.

For PvP, you want to look at Moving Target and Precision Instrument for the ideal Time to Kill. Triggering Moving Target will happen naturally due to the flow of PvP combat in Destiny 2. Precision Instrument can allow for two taps in PvP with enough points into your weapon stat.

• PvE Roll
  • Barrel – Corkscrew Rifling
  • Magazine – Extended Mag
  • Left Column – Rewind Rounds
  • Right Column – Vorpal Weapon
  • Masterwork – Reload Speed
• PvP Roll
  • Barrel – Smallbore
  • Magazine – Ricochet Rounds
  • Left Column – Moving Target
  • Right Column – Precision Instrument
  • Masterwork – Range

Destiny 2: Giver’s Blessing

The Giver’s Blessing Auto Rifle is nothing to write home about in PvE and PvP. It is a stable Kinetic Auto Rifle, but will unlikely eclipse other weapons of the same archetype. If you are chasing a PvE roll, you want to look for Rewind Rounds, Shoot to Loot (Hardcore PvE content), or Demolitionist in the left column. Pair that with Kinetic Tremors or One For All in the right column for maximum value.

Moving Target is the only reasonable perk in the left column. The ADS value is lower for Auto Rifles, given that you rarely ADS in gun battles. You can pair Adagio or Multikill clip in the right column with Moving Target, depending on player preference.

• PvE Roll
  • Barrel – Corkscrew Rifling
  • Magazine – Flared Magwell
  • Left Column – Rewind Rounds/Shoot to Loot/Demolitionist
  • Right Column – Kinetic Tremors/One For All
  • Masterwork – Reload Speed
• PvP Roll
  • Barrel – Smallbore
  • Magazine – Ricochet Rounds
  • Left Column – Moving Target
  • Right Column – Adagio/Multikill Clip
  • Masterwork – Range

Destiny 2: Last Thursday

Pulse Rifles tend to take a back foot in PvE content. Their only use case is in more difficult activities where you want to sit at a distance. Unfortunately, Last Thursday falls behind already, given that it is an Adaptive Frame. If you are searching for a PvE roll, we recommend Rapid Hit and Frenzy for those long-range, drawn-out kills.

In PvP, we are looking at Moving Target with Headseeker for the lowest Time to Kill. While Moving Target may not be an ideal perk, there are very few options that eclipse it in the left column for this Pulse Rifle.

• PvE Roll
  • Barrel – Corkscrew Rifling
  • Magazine – Flared Magwell
  • Left Column – Rapid Hit
  • Right Column – Frenzy
  • Masterwork – Stability
• PvP Roll
  • Barrel – Smallbore
  • Magazine – Ricochet Rounds
  • Left Column – Moving Target
  • Right Column – Headseeker
  • Masterwork – Range

Destiny 2: Sublimination

Similar to Pulse Rifles, Scouts struggle to compete with other weapon archetypes in PvE. For Sublimation, there is an Arc synergy roll with Voltshot. We recommend you use Shoot to Loot and Explosive Payload. The combination is ideal for higher-end content in Destiny 2.

Another Kepler weapon, and another Moving Target recommendation in PvP. It may seem like it is a good PvP perk, but these weapons have tended to be light on PvP rolls in the left column. Precision Instrument does not increase the Time to Kill, so we go with Explosive Payload instead.

• PvE Roll
  • Barrel – Arrowhead Brake
  • Magazine – Flared Magwell
  • Left Column – Shoot to Loot
  • Right Column – Explosive Payload
  • Masterwork – Reload Speed
• PvP Roll
  • Barrel – Smallbore
  • Magazine – Steady Rounds
  • Left Column – Moving Target
  • Right Column – Explosive Payload
  • Masterwork – Range

Destiny 2: Precipial

PvE Shotguns usually have one use case: Melee-centric builds. Precipial is another of those with One-Two Punch in the left column. The secondary perk does not matter too much, but we are going with Vorpal Weapon to increase our total damage.

In PvP, we want to get up close and personal to kill our opposition. Threat Detector and Slideshot are the perfect combination to dominate your opposition in the Crucible.

• PvE Roll
  • Barrel – Corkscrew Rifling
  • Magazine – Assault Mag
  • Left Column – One-Two Punch
  • Right Column – Vorpal Weapon
  • Masterwork – Handling
• PvP Roll
  • Barrel – Smallbore
  • Magazine – Accurized Rounds
  • Left Column – Threat Detector
  • Right Column – Slideshot
  • Masterwork – Range

Destiny 2: Ulterior Observation

The final weapon on our Kepler list is Ulterior Observation. It is part of the newest LMG archetype that got added during The Final Shape. This archetype has become a fan favorite, and Ulterior Observation will fall into that category. Subsistence and Killing Tally is the dream PvE combination, with Subsistence ensuring you never have to reload.

In PvP, it may come as a surprise, but Moving Target is another recommendation in the left column. Closing Time works like a dream, given you will almost always have a low magazine in PvP. Granted, LMGs should dominate regardless of role, as they are heavy weapons in the Crucible.

• PvE Roll
  • Barrel – Corkscrew Rifling
  • Magazine – Extended Mag
  • Left Column – Subsistence
  • Right Column – Killing Tally
  • Masterwork – Reload Speed
• PvP Roll
  • Barrel – Chambered Compensator
  • Magazine – Ricochet Rounds
  • Left Column – Moving Target
  • Right Column – Closing Time
  • Masterwork – Stability
