Destiny 2 Psychopomp: God Rolls & How to get it

by | Feb 5, 2025

With the release of Episode: Heresy, Bungie has thankfully provided us with another Area-Denial Grenade Launcher. This archetype has become arguably the best weapon type in the game, so the hype is real around this new Arc version, Psychopomp.

Here, we’ll talk about how good Psychopomp is, how to get it, and what god rolls you are looking for.

How good is Psychopomp

Being an Area-Denial Grenade Launcher, Psychopomp is already quite a strong option. However, there is some stiff competition as Lost Signal and VS Velocity Baton are both powerful in their own way. 

With the Episode: Heresy Arc changes, notably the addition of Bolt Charge and the new perk ‘Rolling Storm’, Psychopomp could be used as a Bolt Charge generator with this perk. This would make it quite flexible but also excellent as a backup damage weapon, provided you have a reloading perk paired with it.

In PvP, Area-Denial Frames aren’t too popular, so unfortunately, we don’t see Psychopomp breaking much ground here. Additionally, no perks help it too much in terms of PvP viability. Psychopomp is S-Tier for PvE and D-tier for PvP.

Psychopomp PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Quick Launch
Magazine High-Velocity Rounds
Perk 1 Envious Arsenal or Ambitious Assassin
Perk 2 Rolling Storm (also good: Frenzy)
Masterwork Handling
Origin Trait Willing Vessel

Our roll on Psychopomp is gearing it towards being used as a DPS option, so Quick Launch and High-Velocity Rounds are ideal here, thanks to the Handling and Velocity they provide.

In Perk 1, you can choose whether to use this weapon as a DPS option with Envious Arsenal or an add-clear option with Ambitious Assassin; the choice is yours, depending on what you wish your Psychopomp to accomplish.

For Perk 2, we suggest Rolling Storm as it gives you a way to utilize Bolt Charge; however, Frenzy is a very suitable alternative, especially if you are using this weapon for add-clear.

Psychopomp is absolutely not worth chasing for its PvP capabilities…

How to get Psychopomp

As all Heretical weapons from Episode 3, you can obtain the Psychopomp from all Heresy activities, most notably the new Nether activity. We cover all Heretical weapons here.

Additionally, you can focus the weapon at the Tome of Want for an additional cost by using Scriptures, making it worthwhile to gather materials to get your hands on a good roll of this weapon.
