Destiny 2 Acosmic: God Rolls and How to get it

by | Oct 30, 2024

Festival of the Lost is here, and with Spooky Month comes a spooky grenade launcher: Acosmic. Heavy grenade launchers ebb and flow into and out of the meta. In some seasons, they are great for add-clearing; in other seasons, they’re perfect for boss damage; then, in other seasons, they are vaulted for swords, machine guns, or rockets.

But does the Acosmic hold a candle to other grenade launchers in its class?

How good is Acosmic

Acosmic is a void rapid-fire frame grenade launcher. This means you will have better reload when empty due to the frame, and a higher DPS value over adaptive frame grenade launchers due to the faster RPM.

Acosmic has a few main competitors right now as a Rapid Fire Grenade Launcher, those primarily being the Koraxis’s Distress, Marsillion-C, and the new VS Chill Inhibitor. Against these options, it falls slightly short due to the first perk column on Acosmic being quite underwhelming.

In base stats, Acosmic is generally pretty even with the competition, and any stat differences are largely negligible as the only stats that truly matter on GLs are Velocity, Handling, and Blast Radius. 

Overall, Acosmic is decent but will be outclassed by some of the upper-tier GLs available in the Rapid-Fire frame archetype.

Acosmic PvE god rolls

  • Barrel: Quick Launch
  • Magazine: Spike Grenades
  • Perk 1: Clown Cartridge or Withering Gaze
  • Perk 2: Bait and Switch or Explosive Light
  • Masterwork: Blast Radius

As always, we’re looking for Handling on our Grenade Launchers, so Quick Launch is nice here. However, due to the lack of an auto-reloading perk on Acosmic, a Reload Speed Masterwork is ideal here to minimise the downtime Acosmic has.

For perk slot one, Clown Cartridge is the simple pick as it boosts the magazine of the weapon, however, Withering Gaze is also a unique option that can be used to provide the Weaken debuff, a 15% debuff to an enemy. This can potentially be useful in situations where another debuff may not be easily applied (such as a ranged boss with no Shadowshot available).

For perk slot 2, Bait and Switch is the clear choice, but Explosive Light is also usable as Bait and Switch can sometimes be awkward to use without an auto-reloading perk.

Acosmic PvP god rolls

  • Barrel: Quick Launch, Linear Compensator, Smart Drift Control
  • Magazine: Proximity Grenades
  • Perk 1: Impulse Amplifier, Enlightened Action, Quickdraw
  • Perk 2: Explosive Light, Collective Action, Wellspring
  • Masterwork: Velocity

Is Acosmic viable in PvP? As with Destiny, anything is viable. But is it good? If you’re used to adaptive frame’s forgiveness in blast radius, you might have a frightening time.

In order to get the best harvest, you’ll want to optimize handling, velocity, and damage. The easiest way is through Impulse Amplifier and Explosive Light. With all the orb generation tools at our disposal, you can easily bypass the lower blast radius, giving you the option to spec entirely into velocity for a very fast grenade. If you find yourself spawning a lot of stasis shards, or elemental pickups you can make use of Collective Action’s extra damage. It might not be enough to destroy all supers but you will be able to take on most supers with more confidence than a skeleton in the wind.
