The Riposte God Rolls in Destiny 2
The Riposte is one of the easiest weapons to handle in Destiny 2, making it a great choice for both PvP and PvE. Here are the God rolls for each:
PvP God Roll
| Category | Perk/Trait | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Full Bore | +15 Range -10 Stability -5 Handling |
| Magazine | Ricochet Rounds | +5 Range +10 Stability |
| Stock | Composite Stock | +5 Stability +5 Handling |
| Perk 1 | Zen Moment | Causing damage with this weapon reduces recoil and flinch over time. |
| Perk 2 | Kill Clip | Reloading after a kill grants increased damage. |
The idea behind this Roll is to get as much range as you can out of The Riposte. It naturally has great recoil and handling, so range will largely become the focus of this Roll.
That being said, Zen Moment and the Composite Stock will still balance the recoil decrease you take with the Full Bore barrel while letting you do more damage. Ricochet Rounds further increase stability and range, making this weapon an absolute killer in PvP situations.
PvE God Roll
| Category | Perk/Trait | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Corkscrew Rifling | +5 Range +5 Stability +5 Handling |
| Magazine | Ricochet Rounds | +5 Range +10 Stability |
| Stock | Composite Stock | +5 Stability +5 Handling |
| Perk 1 | Zen Moment | Causing damage with this weapon reduces recoil and flinch over time. |
| Perk 2 | Destabilizing Rounds | Final blows cause nearby targets to become volatile. |
This Roll aims to make The Riposte a little more of an all-rounder in PvE situations, especially because you need your weapons to be more versatile in Strikes, Raids, and other activities.
Most importantly, you’ll want Destabilizing Rounds so that enemies can get the volatile effect to damage others in their vicinity – effectively letting you take down waves very quickly. Once again, we’re also looking at Zen Moment for increased stability, and Ricochet Rounds for an extra bit of range.
If you don’t get these Rolls on your first try, you can farm The Riposte again at the weekly reset. Complete the competitive challenge, and you’ll get brand new Rolls each time until you get the ones you need.
