Destiny 2 Sojourner’s Tale: God Rolls & How to get it

Sojourner’s Tale returns for the first time since Season of the Splicer. This Solar Slug Shotgun has been granted some interesting new perk combinations that won’t challenge the current sandbox meta but can be used to have a good amount of fun in Episode: Revenant.

How good is Sojourner’s Tale

Slug Shotguns are in the middle of the current sandbox and while they provide a powerful option, there are better options out there when going from A to B with builds and damage. However, there are some notable combinations here that can be enjoyed by Slug veterans and players looking to try something new. 

  

Best alternatives:

	Heritage	Shotgun	Special	Kinetic	Deep Stone Crypt Raid	Reconstruction
	First In, Last Out	Shotgun	Special	Arc	World loot pool

Sojourner’s Tale Perks & God Rolls

The Sojourner’s Tale Shotgun can roll with the following perks:

• Perk 1: Quickdraw, Moving Target, Discord, Offhand Strike, Heal Clip, Auto-Loading Holster
• Perk 2: Opening Shot, Air Trigger, Incandescent, Precision Instrument, Harmont, Swashbuckler
• Origin Trait: Splicer Surge

Sojourner’s Tale PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel	Arrowhead Brake
Magazine	Appended Mag
Perk 1	Heal Clip (also good: Auto-Loading Holster)
Perk 2	Incandescent (also good: Precision Instrument)
Masterwork	Reload

Sojourner’s Tale can be tuned towards damage or getting stuck into waves of enemies causing big explosions and healing yourself in the process. With the current damage options out there and the Episodes focus on Stasis, the latter provides a great ‘fire and ice’ combination.

Start with Arrowhead Brake to control the wide recoil and help keep shots on target after each blast. Appended Mag then adds extra shots to the Magazine to keep Sojourner’s Tale in the fight for longer before needing to reload.

The god roll combination is tried and tested and is great to have in tougher situations and comes in handy with the close-quarters nature of this Shotgun. Heal Clip provides a solid chunk of health after a kill and reload and Incandescent provides some great utility causing Ignite and Scorch, making light work of lower-tier enemies and doing solid damage to tougher foes.

Sojourner’s Tale PvP god rolls

PvP Roll: All-Around
Barrel	Arrowhead Brake
Magazine	Accurized Rounds
Perk 1	Quickdraw (also good: Discord)
Perk 2	Opening Shot (also good: Harmony)
Masterwork	Range

Sojourner’s Tale has a good selection of PvP perks and can easily tear through an enemy team in an accurate hand.

Arrowhead Brake is best for the barrel to keep shots vertical as it carries a wide recoil pattern at its base. Accurized Rounds boost the Range to keep the reticle sticky and accuracy up when aiming for that headshot at a longer distance.

The main perks start with Quickdraw making Sojourner’s Tale ready with lightning speed when switching to take opponents off guard and quickly turn the tide of battle. Opening Shot is invaluable for its added Range and accuracy bonuses which makes this Shotgun lethal for popping heads in The Crucible and will reward an accurate hand greatly when pushing for victory.
