Destiny 2 Incisor: God Rolls and How to get it

Legendary Trace Rifles have always been a good pick, so naturally, many players have been eyeing up the new Trials Strand Trace Rifle, Incisor. What are The Incisor’s god rolls worth chasing? 

Name: Incisor

Type: Trace Rifle Archetype: Adaptive

Ammo: Special Element: Strand

Craftable: No Released: Season 23

Source: Trials of Osiris Requires: Lightfall

How to get Incisor

Incisor comes from Trials of Osiris, which might be upsetting news to some, but target-farming specific Trials weapons is very simple. If you’re hunting for the Adept variant of this weapon, you’ll have to wait until it is the weekly Trials of Osiris weapon. 

If you just want the regular version, you can focus it using Trials Engrams at Saint-14 once you have had it drop from a regular engram. You can also focus the Adept variant once you get it to drop, just in case you want another roll. You can find the weekly Trials weapon this week here.

How good is Incisor

Incisor fills a void a few players may have as it is the first Legendary Strand Trace Rifle and one of the few Primary slot Traces. If you don’t have The Navigator from Ghosts of the Deep, Incisor will be your only other option, immediately making it desirable.

The only Strand Legendary Trace Rifle today, Incisor also features several competitive perks that make it a hot commodity. There are stronger weapon types than Trace Rifles, but as far as Traces go, Incisor is one of the best.

In PvE, it holds its own. Acacia’s add clear potential with Incandescent or quality of life with Frenzy is strong, but the versatility and build potential that options such as Slice or Hatchling have make up the difference, as well as having classic perks like Killing Tally to round the weapon out. 

In PvP, compared to other Trace Rifles, it does pretty well. While it doesn’t have the DPS (damage per second) of Coldheart, it does have Slice, which is an excellent utility perk. Because of this, it beats out other Legendary options like Appetance. However, players might still prefer Acaisia’s due to personal preference. Overall, Incisor is an A-Tier pick in PvP and PvE. 

Best alternatives:

	Acasia's Dejection	Trace Rifle	Special	Solar	Root of Nightmares Raid
	Coldheart	Trace Rifle	Special	Arc	Exotic Engram
	The Navigator	Trace Rifle	Special	Strand	Ghost of the Deep Dungeon

Incisor Perks and God Rolls

The Incisor Trace rifle can roll with the following perks:

• Perk 1: Slice, Offhand Strike, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Perpetual Motion, Zen Moment, Envious Assassin, Subsistence

Incisor PvE god roll

• Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling
• Magazine: Projection Fuse
• Perk 1: Subsistence or Slice
• Perk 2: Killing Tally or Hatchling
• Masterwork: Handling or Range

There are two paths that players can go down with Incisor. If you’re looking to take advantage of the Strand element of this weapon with a specific build, Slice and Hatchling will most likely be the best perks. Subsistence and Killing Tally work best if you’re looking for a more general roll, as they synergize perfectly.

For the Barrel, Battery, and Masterwork, you can go with whatever you like; however, we like the above options as they provide the weapon a general quality of life due to increased Range and Handling.

Incisor PvP god roll

• Barrel: Smallbore
• Magazine: Tactical Battery
• Perk 1: Slice or Dynamic Sway Reduction
• Perk 2: Tap the Trigger or Kill Clip
• Masterwork: Range

Again, with Incisor’s perk variety, players can tailor their weapon experience to their needs. Dynamic Sway Reduction and Tap the Trigger are your friends if you want a more consistent weapon to duel targets on an even playing field. If you want to be more aggressive and chain back-to-back kills, Slice and Kill Clip can help as you wind up dealing more damage, while they deal less, massively shifting any duel in your favor.
