Destiny 2 Faith-Keeper: God Rolls & How to get it

by | Jul 15, 2024

The Final Shape brought a ton of new and powerful weapons to the table, and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. With new weapon archetypes and potent exotics galore, some more generic picks have already been forgotten.

Today, we cover a forgotten weapon that deserves more recognition: the Faith-Keeper.

Chapters

How good is Faith-Keeper

While Faith-Keeper has weaknesses that hold it back from becoming a meta-defining option, it has a nice suite of perks that allow it to excel in more casual settings.

In PvE, the main caveat of the weapon is its frame. While precision frame rocket launchers are closer to their competition than they were previously, they still generally fall behind. As a result, even the best rolls on Faith-Keeper can’t compete with current meta options.

Luckily, this is a slightly different story in The Crucible. Even though Faith-Keeper doesn’t contain much that sets it apart from other picks, its intrinsic tracking does help out a fair bit. If you don’t have a heavy ammo option you already greatly enjoy, Faith-Keeper may be a good choice.

Faith-Keeper PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Launcher Barrel Quick Launch
Magazine Impact Casing
Perk 1 Field Prep (also good: Auto-Loading Holster)
Perk 2 Bipod (also good: Explosive Light)
Masterwork Handling

When building this weapon for PvE, we’ll start with Quick Launch, Impact Casing, and a handling masterwork for increases in velocity, handling, and damage.

From there, we’ll opt to build into an ad clear roll since precision frame rockets have intrinsically lower damage than their competition. Field Prep and Bipod is a great combination, allowing you to store and fire an absurd amount of rockets. However, if you do want to use this for damage (which we find difficult to recommend), the combo of Auto-Loading Holster and Explosive Light is your best bet.

Recommended Loadout: Izanagi’s Burden, Indebted Kindness, Faith-Keeper.

Faith-Keeper PvP god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Launcher Barrel Hard Launch
Magazine High-Velocity Rounds
Perk 1 Impulse Amplifier
Perk 2 Demolitionist
Masterwork Velocity

In The Crucible, our main focus is velocity, so we’ll opt for Hard Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, a Velocity masterwork, and Impulse Amplifier. All of this in combination with precision frame’s intrinsic tracking should allow Faith-Keeper to be extremely easy to use here.

As for your final column perk, extra damage and whatnot aren’t really needed here, so we chose Demolitionist due to its slight increase in utility.
