Destiny 2 Chronophage: God Rolls & How to get it

by | Aug 27, 2024

Chronophage is one of the few weapons recently released with Act 3 of Episode 1. The first new trace rifle since Season of the Haunted, we cover how good Chronophage is and what are the best rolls to chase.

Chapters

How good is Chronophage

While trace rifles as a whole lost some popularity with the double special nerfs and the introduction of rocket-assisted sidearms, they still play an important part in the PvE meta.

While the weapon doesn’t have any perk combinations that make it meta-defining, Chronophage excels at what it’s supposed to in PvE: general utility and a replacement for typical primary weapons.

In The Crucible, Chronophage is pretty typical. With PvP’s special ammo economy, it generally isn’t worth running a trace rifle, Chronophage included.

Chronophage PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Fluted Barrel
Battery Enhanced Battery
Perk 1 Shoot to Loot (also good: Repulsor Brace)
Perk 2 One for All (also good: Demolitionist)
Masterwork Reload Speed

We’ll start with Fluted Barrel, Enhanced Battery, and a reload speed masterwork for a solid sweep of increased stats.

From there, Shoot to Loot’s general utility trumps other options in the third column, save for Repulsor Brace if you’re rocking a Void build. The final column features One for All, which is the strongest pick for general gameplay by far. However, Demolitionist and Destabilizing Rounds are worth mentioning if you’re looking for buildcrafting options instead.

Recommended Loadout: The Mountaintop, Chronophage, Microcosm.

Chronophage PvP god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Smallbore
Battery Tactical Mag
Perk 1 Elemental Capacitor
Perk 2 High Ground (also good: Desperate Measures)
Masterwork Range

In PvP, our main goal is to simply increase as many stats as we can. As a result, we’ll go with Smallbore, Tactical Mag, Elemental Capacitor, and a range masterwork.

For our final perk in the fourth column, we’ll opt for High Ground, granting an easy (although situational) increase in damage. Desperate Measures can also be used here if you prefer.
