Destiny 2 Chroma Rush: God Rolls & How to get it

by | Oct 11, 2024

While brand-new weapons are all the rage when it comes to new Destiny 2 releases, Bungie has been on a roll with reissuing fan favorites from past eras.

Today, we’ll cover one of these older weapons that was reintroduced with Revenant: the Chroma Rush auto rifle.

How good is Chroma Rush

In PvE, Chroma Rush is more or less set up for failure. Kinetic weapons, primary ammo weapons, and auto rifles all individually aren’t that popular right now, and Chroma Rush happens to be a part of all three categories.

That said, it still holds up better than much of its competition. While hand cannons and elemental variants are bound to be better, Chroma Rush is a nice alternative for casual content.

As for PvP, Chroma Rush is in a bit of a better position. While it also isn’t a meta pick here, it features some solid perks that make it a great pick for any auto rifle enjoyers. Chroma Rush is B-Tier in PvE and PvP.

Chroma Rush Perks & God Rolls

The Chroma Rush auto rifle can roll with the following perks:

  • Perk 1: Subsistence, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Killing Wind, Tunnel Vision, To The Pain, Heating Up.
  • Perk 2: Rampage, Target Lock, Kinetic Tremors, Tap the Trigger, Kill Clip, Frenzy.
  • Origin Trait: Splicer Surge

Chroma Rush PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Fluted Barrel
Magazine Flared Magwell
Perk 1 Subsistence
Perk 2 Frenzy (also good: Kinetic Tremors)
Masterwork Stability

While everything but your main two perks doesn’t really matter here, we’ll still try and seek out Fluted Barrel, Flared Magwell, and a stability masterwork for a nice sweep of increased stats.

For perk one, Subsistence is your best bet due to Chroma Rush’s inherently large magazine size. For the second, Frenzy never fails to be a top-tier pick, while Kinetic Tremors and Rampage can be great as well depending on the situation.

Chroma Rush PvP god rolls

PvP Roll: All-Around
Barrel Smallbore
Magazine Steady Rounds
Perk 1 Dynamic Sway Reduction or Killing Wind
Perk 2 Kill Clip (also good: Target Lock)
Masterwork Stability

For Chroma Rush’s PvP god roll, we’ll start by building almost entirely into stability with Smallbore, Steady Rounds, and a stability masterwork.

If you need even more stability, Dynamic Sway Reduction is the play for perk one; if not, opt for Killing Wind. For your final perk, Kill Clip decreases the TTK of Chroma Rush by a significant margin, so we’ll go with that to round out our roll.

      I’m also curious on this. Love the gun and the breakdown, but any clarity would be appreciated!
