Destiny 2 Regnant: God Rolls & How to get

Regnant is generally considered one of the most top Heavy Grenade Launchers today, and for good reason. Today, we’ll share the best ways to obtain multiple rolls of the weapon and the best perks you want to hunt down.

How good is Regnant?

Since Regnant is craftable, it gives us access to enhanced perks, which opens up the possibility to create more Explosive Light rounds and deal more damage than other Adaptive Frame Heavy Grenade Launchers. With the changes to buildcrafting introduced with Lightfall, there are numerous opportunities to generate Orbs of Power for you and your teammates in endgame content, making Explosive Light the perk you want to find.

Regnant is also a Void weapon, which allows it to generate Volatile Rounds, opening up the opportunity to bump up your weapon damage output with this weapon significantly.

Regnant is a must-have and can be considered S Tier for PvE, especially for endgame content. 

Best alternatives:

	Wendigo GL3	Grenade Launcher	Heavy	Arc	Nightfall: The Ordeals	Explosive Light
	Typhon GL5	Grenade Launcher	Heavy	Stasis	Gunsmith	Explosive Light

Best Regnant Perks & God Rolls

The Regnant grenade launcher can roll with the following perks:

• Perk 1: Rangefinder, Tresh, Shot Swap, Repulsor Brace, Stats for All, Envious Assassin, Auto-Loading Holster.
• Perk 2: Unrelenting, Pugilist, Disruption Break, Cascade Point, Explosive Light, One for All, Destabilizing Rounds.

Regnant PvE god roll

• Barrel: Volatile Launch
• Magazine: Spike Grenades
• Perk 1: Auto-Loading Holster
• Perk 2: Explosive Light
• Masterwork: Handling

For our barrel, we want Volatile Launch. This barrel will greatly increase our blast radius and allows us to spread Volatile Rounds and overall damage to more enemies simultaneously. This is perfect for clearing groups of enemies and breaking Void shields. For our magazine, we want Spike Grenades to increase direct hit damage and stability.

In column 3, you want Auto-Loading Holster. This will ensure your Regnant is ready to go when you need to clear enemies in a pinch. This will pair nicely with a Handling Masterwork. In column 4, you’ll want the star of the show, Explosive Light. This allows you to massively increase the damage output of Regnant by 25% when you pick up Orbs of Power and use them to generate stacks of Explosive Light.

Regnant PvP god roll

• Barrel: Volatile Launch
• Magazine: High Explosive Ordnance
• Perk 1: Rangefinder
• Perk 2: Unrelenting
• Masterwork: Blast Radius

Since heavy ammo is rare in The Crucible, and we don’t want it to go to waste, we will focus on bumping the weapon’s blast radius. For the barrel, you want Volatile Launch to greatly increase the blast radius. In column 2, we want High-Explosive Ordnance to increase our blast radius even further.

In the third column, we want Rangefinder to increase our range and projectile velocity. In the final column, we want Unrelenting, as defeating Guardians will activate health regeneration.

How to get the Regnant

Previously part of the Season of Defiance (S20) loot pool, Regnant can be acquired from the Avalon Exotic Mission.

Exotic Missions offer several rewards: An Exotic weapon, a Catalyst, and several Legendary craftable weapons, including Regnant. Avalon uses the same reward structure as the other Exotic Missions on rotation:

• The first completion of the mission on Standard or Expert difficulty will award the Exotic Deepsight weapon associated with the mission.
• Each weekly completion of the Exotic mission (any difficulty) will award an intrinsic upgrade to be used when crafting the Exotic weapon.
• Each completion of the Expert version of the Exotic mission will award a Catalyst upgrade for the crafted Exotic weapon.

🛑 Avalon requires ownership of the Lightfall DLC.
