It is the combination of great base stats and excellent perks that define the best weapons in the game. Needless to say, a legendary weapon’s perk combination is extremely important, and is the main reason players continuously grind in Destiny 2: To find their god rolls.
This guide includes god rolls for all the best Legendary weapons in the game, including recommendations from some of our favorite content creators, as well as god rolls from many of our own tier lists and guides.
List updated as of The Witch Queen’s release (S16).

Destiny 2 God rolls database
The following recommended rolls come from the many Tier lists we’ve done so far and they only focus on the third and fourth perks.
Hardcore players will insist that all the perks are equally important. And while that may be the case for the most demanding and competitive players, having decent perks in the first and second slot is more than good enough as long as the other two perks are top tier.

Everyone was disappointed to find out it was a 180 RPM hand cannon but turns out Posterity is the best 180 RPM hand cannon we've ever seen. Posterity offers excellent stats, an amazing feel, and great consistency. Some even call it the new Not Forgotten and that says a lot... | Season 12 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Reconstruction (also good: Rapid Hit) + One for All (also good: Rampage) |
|
High Albedo | Sidearm | Adaptive | Primary | Kinetic | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Europa | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PVE | Europa Free-to-Play | Slot: PVE God Roll: Killing Wind + Wellspring ► High Albedo is a good sidearm and will be a good replacement for Breachlight once that weapon becomes sunset. It also offers several of the new Perks released with Beyond Ligh. The only reason this sidearm is not ranked higher is because the quality of top tier weapons released this season is quite high. | Season 12 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Killing Wind + Wellspring |
|
Glacioclasm | Fusion Rifle | High-Impact | Special | Void | Free-to-Play | No | A › Strong | Event: Dawning | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PVE | Event: Dawning Free-to-Play | Slot: PVE God Roll: Subsistence + Reservoir Burst ► You'll find no unique standout perks or rolls for the Glacioclasm.

|
Biting Winds | Combat Bow | Precision | Primary | Kinetic | Beyond Light | Yes | A › Strong | Empire Hunts | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PVE | Empire Hunts Beyond Light | Slot: PVE God Roll: Rapid Hit (also good: Killing Wind) + Explosive Head ► Biting Winds is arguably the best legendary bow currently in the game.

The addition of Vorpal Weapon gives a +20% damage increase against bosses. Adding to that a Charge Time masterwork and a Boss Spec weapon mod and you get a great PvE weapon. | Season 13 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Lead from Gold + Vorpal Weapon (also good: High Impact Reserves) |
|

Falling into the Adaptive frame archetype, this is a very consistent weapon that will get the job done every time. It also happens to feel great: stable and smooth to fire. | Season 13 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy (also good: Killing Wind) + Rampage |

Lightweight frames are, currently, the best Scout Rifle archetypes in the game. Just like Hung Jury, Vouchsafe can roll with the best PVE combo for Scout Rifles. Explosive Payload disrupts Overload Champions and breaks Barrier Champions' shields faster than without. This is a must-have for endgame PVE with lots of Void shields and Anti-Barrier Champions (when Anti-Barrier Scout Rifle is available). | Season 13 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Rapid Hit + Explosive Payload |
|

But then Reed's Regret was released. Still, Threaded Needle is an excellent Linear Fusion and a no-brainer for content needing Void damage. | Season 13 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Clown Cartridge + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Dragonfly) |
|
Royal Entry | Rocket Launcher | Precision | Heavy | Void | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Playlist: Strikes | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PVE | Playlist: Strikes Free-to-Play | Slot: PVE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Lasting Impression ► One of the best Legendary rocket launchers in the game, Royal Entry comes with tracking out of the box.

It certainly has the base stats to challenge any other sniper, but even better, it offers excellent PVE-oriented perks that can't be found in any other sniper.

If you're in need of a heavy-duty ad clear, this gun can fill that role well. | Season 14 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Field Prep (also good: Auto-Loading Holster) + Rampage |
|
Hezen Vengeance | Rocket Launcher | Aggressive | Heavy | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Vault of Glass Raid | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PVE | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PVE God Roll: Overflow + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Lasting Impression) ► Hezen Vengeance, the rocket launcher from the Vault of Glass raid, is an overall great package. It offers good stats and good perks all-around, and that alone makes it a decent reward for a raid. But thanks to one single perk, Overflow, Hezen Vengeance is a unique weapon. The only rocket launcher that can roll with Overflow, it has the potential of having two rockets in the chamber quite often, which translates into insane burst-DPS. | Season 14 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Overflow + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Lasting Impression) |

That said, Adaptive Frame Auto Rifles aren't the worst, but also don't excel anywhere. | Season 16 | Slot: PVE God Roll: Stats for All + Rampage OR Triple Tap + Fourth Time's The Charm |
|

It's still good, but it has been outclassed by even better Snipers. Recent additions, such as the 1000 Yard Stare, are just too good to ignore. With lesser perks and harder to farm, the Omniscient Eye just can't keep up. | Season 8 | Slot: PVP God Roll: No Distractions + Snapshot Sights |
