Destiny 2: The Best Garden of Salvation Raid Weapon Rolls

The Garden of Salvation raid in Destiny 2 has been well-conquered at this point and players are starting to get their hands on the raid weapons that are available from Destiny 2's newest raid. There are some powerful weapons that come from the raid, which are definitely worth chasing down and trying to get a good perk roll.

There are seven weapons, not including the exotic raid weapon Divinity, which is tied to a quest picked up outside of the raid but is then completed within the raid itself. In the Garden of Salvation, players can find a sniper rifle, shotgun, hand cannon, fusion rifle, auto rifle, pulse rifle, and a bow.

Omniscient Eye Sniper Rifle

Omniscient Eye is a Rapid-Fire Frame sniper rifle and is a great choice for PvP. It is snappy with great handling, although it cannot one-shot roaming supers even with the damage resistance nerf roaming supers received with the release of Shadowkeep. This recommended roll is for PvP with Extended Mag for more ammo, No Distractions for reduced flinch (this will be far less useful for aggressive players who often quick scope, in which case they may prefer Mulligan), and Snapshot Sights for faster ADS speed.

Prophet of Doom Shotgun

Like Omniscient Eye, Prophet of Doom is best for PvP, with the exception being that this shotgun can roll with One-Two Punch, which can be used with a new Titan build that can one-shot powerful enemies in PvE. The more PvP-focused roll below focuses has Full Choke and Accurized Rounds for more range, Slideways allowing players to reload their shotgun and gain a temporary boost to handling and stability, and Opening Shot to increase the one-hit potential on the first shot against enemy Guardians.

Ancient Gospel Hand Cannon

Hand cannons most benefit from range and Ancient Gospel is no different, with Full Bore, Accurized Rounds, and Rangefinder pushing out this hand cannon's range as far as possible. Both Slideshot and Rapid Hit are good, leaving the decision up to the individual player's preference and playstyle.

There's one particular perk combo that could be worthwhile for PvE, which makes this hand cannon an alternate to Nation of Beasts from The Last Wish raid. The curated roll of Nation of Beasts was dubbed the Fatebringer roll because of its combination of Outlaw and Dragonfly as an arc energy hand cannon, the closest version of the uber-powerful Fatebringer hand cannon from Destiny 1. Ancient Gospel can roll the same two perks, Outlaw and Dragonfly, and it shares the exact same 140 RPM archetype as Nation of Beasts, so PvE players who like the Outlaw/Dragonfly combo now have a solar version of it in Ancient Gospel.

Zealot's Reward Fusion Rifle

Zealot's Reward is a Rapid-Fire Frame, so unlike a High-Impact Frame that tends to be more popular in PvP, players will need to be closer to an enemy but Zealot's Reward has a much faster charge time than those higher impact archetypes. Both Full Bore and Projection Fuse increase the range of the weapon, which will also reduce the spread of the projectiles. Backup Plan promotes fast switching and firing off a shot at an enemy. Auto-Loading Holster works with this playstyle of switching to Zealot's Reward, firing off a shot with the help of Backup Plan and then stow again with Auto-Loading Holster reloading the weapon while it is away.

Reckless Oracle Auto Rifle

Reckless Oracle is a bullet hose, a Rapid-Fire Frame that has a deep magazine and fires extremely fast. Players will need to fight the recoil with the fast fire rate of the auto rifle, so Polygonal Rifling will help with Stability and Mulligan will offer forgiveness for missed shots. High-Caliber Rounds are great for flinching enemies in PvP, whereas Ricochet Rounds increases Stability and Range that's better for PvE use. Kill Clip is the way to go in PvP for increased damage after a kill (pairing this with Outlaw in the previous column instead of Mulligan is also a great combo). For PvE, Swashbuckler will boost damage with kills and from melee kills, which pairs nicely with a more close-quarters build. If players want to be able to get their grenades back quicker, Demolitionist is a good perk.

Polygonal Rifling
High-Caliber Rounds (PvP) or Ricochet Rounds (PvE)
Mulligan
Kill Clip (PvP) or Swashbuckler (PvE) or Demolitionist (PvE)

Sacred Provenance Pulse Rifle

Sacred Provenance is a four-burst pulse rifle and is extremely powerful in PvP. Pulse rifles benefit in general from increased stability, which is provided by Chambered Compensator and Rapid Hit. High-Caliber Rounds are good for flinching enemies in PvP while Ricochet Rounds adds more to stability as well as range. Kill Clip is the best choice for both PvE and PvP for the damage buff.

Accrued Redemption Bow

Bows are not a popular weapon type in general and Accrued Redemption does not add a particularly special roll to change that, but this is the best roll available with Archer's Tempo and Rampage being a good combination, especially for PvE.
