Destiny 2 Crimil’s Dagger: God Rolls & How to get it

How good is Crimil’s Dagger

While the weapon in general does seem to struggle with its base stats, some perk options are available to make it feel more usable, and other perks are top-tier options for some activities.

In terms of PvP, with Precision Instrument being available it is already a very good option, and other perks supplement the weapon very well.

In terms of PvE, 120s, in general, don’t feel that great to use, and the perk pool for PvE lacks variety in terms of viable options.

Crimil’s Dagger PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel	Fluted Barrel
Magazine	Tactical Mag
Perk 1	Enlightened Action
Perk 2	Explosive Payload
Masterwork	Stability
Origin Trait	Hakke Breach Armaments

We recommend Fluted Barrel, as it provides a much-needed boost to the weapons’ Stability and Handling, and Tactical Mag, as it also provides Stability while helping with the Reload Speed of 120 Hand Cannons.

Enlightened Action is recommended for the same reason, helping with the Reload Speed and also providing a much-needed boost to the Handling of the weapon.

Explosive Payload is a good option in general as it boosts the weapon’s total damage output and also negates the majority of damage drop-off.

Stability is the recommended option for masterwork as Range is not a necessity in PvE. The Handling with maximum stacks of Enlightened Action sits at 96, and the Reload Speed is reduced by over a full second.

Crimil’s Dagger PvP god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel	Fluted Barrel
Magazine	Accurized Rounds
Perk 1	Slideways
Perk 2	Precision Instrument
Masterwork	Range
Origin Trait	Skulking Wolf

Fluted Barrel is recommended due to the weapon’s lack of Stability and Handling at base stats.

Accurized Rounds is recommended due to the increase in Range provided.

We recommend Slideways as it provides a +20 stat boost to Stability and Handling (+25 Enhanced), and also partially refills the magazine which is very useful on 120 Hand Cannons due to the slow reload speed.

We recommend Precision Instrument as it allows you to 2 Headshot 1 Bodyshot even against Tier 10 Resilience, while other perks only allow this up until Tier 6 Resilience.

Range masterwork is preferred as the boost provides nearly 1.5m of extra range, and once Slideways has been activated, the low Stability and Handling becomes less of an issue due to the stat boost.

Skulking Wolf is the preferred option, as removing your blip from the radar allows you to reposition and recover from the previous gunfight.

How to get Crimil’s Dagger

Crimil’s Dagger can be obtained through end-of-match Iron Banner drops and can also be focused by speaking to Lord Saladin.

Unfortunately, the weapon is not craftable, so sought-after rolls must be obtained through RNG. However, perks are enhanceable. We cover all the available Iron Banner weapons here.
