Destiny 2 Shadow Price: God Rolls & How to get it

by | Jul 2, 2024

The Shadow Price Auto Rifle has been reprised, returning with updated perks and Origin Traits present on the weapon. Not many good Arc Auto Rifles exist so the returning Shadow Price has a chance to shake things up.

How good is Shadow Price going to be?

Auto Rifles, as a whole, are rather mediocre right now, and Precision Frame Auto Rifles are no exception. However, Shadow Price does come with some solid perks, such as Stats For All, Votlshot, Demolitionist, and One for All. These perks are all top-tier options on Primary ammo weapons and slightly bolster Shadow Price as a standout among the rest.

In PvP, Precision Frame Auto Rifles are pretty strong right now. However, Shadow Price does not come with many perks that make it stand out in the Crucible, meaning players will only want to use it in PvE, and because of this, Shadow Price is a pretty average weapon overall.

Shadow Price PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Fluted Barrel
Magazine Appended Mag (also good: Flared Magwell)
Perk 1 Stats For All (also good: Strategist)
Perk 2 Voltshot (also good: Demolitionist)
Masterwork Handling

Handling is often nice to have on weapons in PvE to make them feel nicer to use, meaning that we will opt for Fluted Barrel and a Handling Masterwork. For our magazine, because we have Stats For All, we can afford to go for a magazine-boosting option like Appended Mag. However, if Strategist is chosen, Flared Magwell will be a nicer pick.

For our perks, Stats For All makes this weapon feel a lot less clunky due to the bump to Handling and Reload Speed. This pairs brilliantly with Voltshot, as the jolting damage from this perk will activate Stats For All, making them synergise excellently. Alternatively, Strategist and Demolitionist can be used together to create an incredibly high ability-uptime build as Strategist feeds into your Class Ability, and Demolitionist fuels your Grenade energy.

Shadow Price PvP god rolls

PvP Roll: All-Around
Barrel Smallbore
Magazine Accurised Rounds
Perk 1 Strategist
Perk 2 Gutshot Straight
Masterwork Stability or Range

Shadow Price is massively carried by its weapon archetype and decent stats, as Smallbore, Accurised Rounds, and a Stability or Range masterwork can make this weapon have some solid stats.

For perk 1, Strategist is the best option as it will feed back our Class Ability, which can provide some versatility and allow players to play around their abilities a bit more. Gutshot Straight is the best option in slot 2 as it can provide some lenience for players that may not be as accurate. However, it is mainly the best optionas as other perks in this column are simply not well-suited for PvP.

How to get the Shadow Price

Shadow Price is a Vanguard weapon and will drop from the Vanguard playlists, returning as one of the Nightfall weapons for The Final Shape. This gun will join the rotation of the weekly drops in the Nightfall playlists, allowing players to farm it in Grandmaster Nightfalls.

Once obtained, players will be able to focus engrams into Shadow Price in order to target farm the weapon more efficiently. We cover all Nightfall Weapons available today here.
