Destiny 2 The Call: God Rolls & How to get it

by | Jun 25, 2026

 The Call got a bit of a refresh, and while it does have some top-tier perks, it‘s still a touch weaker than some of the best-in-class options.

How good is The Call

The Call is the only Strand Rocket Sidearm, netting it some points; however, when it comes to the top dogs, it falls slightly short.

In PvE, The Call is perfect if you want some additional easy-access Strand verbs through Slice or some Hatchlings to fit into your build. Meanwhile, Chaos Reshaped and Lead from Gold are fantastic generalist options. While The Call is definitely a potent option, for us, it doesn’t beat some of the stronger competition, giving it a respectable A-tier rating. The Call is A-Tier for PvE and D-tier for PvP.

The Call Perks & God Rolls

The Call Strand Rocket Sidearm can roll with the following perks:

  • Origin Trait: Dealer’s Choice.

The Call PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Quick Launch
Magazine Flared Magwell
Perk 1 Slice or Lead From Gold
Perk 2 Chaos Reshaped (also good: Hatchling)
Masterwork Velocity

For our Barrel and Magazine, we suggest Quick Launch and Flared Magwell for the boosts to Handling, Velocity, and Reload Speed, respectively.

For our first perk, Slice or Lead From Gold are both viable, depending on what you prefer; meanwhile for Perk 2, we suggest Chaos Reshaped as our main pick for the whopping 35% damage bonus when fully stacked, as well as the bursts of healing, with Hatchling as a solid alternative.

The Call PvP god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel Quick Launch
Magazine High-Velocity Rounds
Perk 1 Beacon Rounds
Perk 2 Vorpal Weapon
Masterwork Velocity

Just like for PvE, we’ll start by increasing velocity with Quick Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, and a velocity masterwork.

For main perks, Beacon Rounds is a pretty solid option, especially given the lackluster state of the rest of the first column. The final column is even worse, offering no stand-out options whatsoever. We chose Vorpal Weapon as it’ll likely provide a good amount of situational utility, but which mediocre perk you select is mostly personal preference.

How to get The Call

The Call is one of many weapons that await you in the Pale Heart. As a destination weapon, it can be earned by:

  • Completing Pale Heart objectives, such as quests or Public events
  • Decoding Pale Heart engrams at your Ghost.
  • Increasing reputation ranks with your Ghost

You may even find some drops as you progress through The Final Shape’s campaign. We cover all The Pale Heart Weapons here.
