How good is Warlord’s Spear
Warlord’s Spear joins the group of Arc Trace Rifles and fails to break the mold of them being good but not great. Warlord’s Spear comes with the popular Jolting Feedback perk and the new Detonator Beam perk that was released with Episode: Heresy.
In PvP, Trace Rifles are generally quite niche. They can be strong in the right hands, but overall, they don’t accomplish too much, and again, Warlord’s Spear doesn’t do a ton to disrupt this trend. Dynamic Sway Reduction and Target Lock is a synergistic combo, but there isn’t much else going for it. Warlord’s Spear is A-Tier for PvE and B-tier for PvP.

Warlord’s Spear God Rolls, Destiny 2
Warlord’s Spear PvE god rolls
| PvE Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel |
| Battery | Light Battery |
| Perk 1 | Rewind Rounds |
| Perk 2 | Detonator Beam (also good: Jolting Feedback) |
| Masterwork | Handling |
Because Trace Rifles don’t necessarily need many stats, we are going to opt for Handling-boosting perks, so Fluted Barrel, Light Battery, and a Handling masterwork are ideal here.
For perk slot 1, Rewind Rounds is the go-to as it allows us to maintain the beam on healthier targets and minimises downtime. For perk 2, Detonator Beam is our recommended pick thanks to the burst damage it provides, but Jolting Feedback is also a good way to go if you want to lean into Jolt more.
Warlord’s Spear PvP god rolls
| PvP Roll: All-Around | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore |
| Battery | Projection Fuse |
| Perk 1 | Dynamic Sway Reduction or High-Impact Reserves |
| Perk 2 | Target Lock |
| Masterwork | Range |
For PvP, we want to optimise our general weapon performance, so Range and Stability will be the focus, so we recommend Smallbore, Projection Fuse, and a Range Masterwork to boost us to 94 Range (38.9m), and 83 Stability, which will go to 93 with Dynamic Sway Reduction fully stacked.
For perk 1, Dynamic Sway Reduction and High-Impact Reserves are both good. Dynamic Sway Reduction makes Warlord’s Spear easier to use, but High-Impact Reserves can provide that extra punch it might need. For perk 2, Target Lock is our pick as it works great with both of our first perks. Dynamic Sway Reduction helps you stay on target more easily, improving Target Lock’s ease of use, and High-Impact Reserves can stack with Target Lock.
