How to Get Psychopomp in Destiny 2 and Its God Roll

The Psychopomp is a new Arc Grenade Launcher introduced in Destiny 2 with Episode: Heresy. This Area Denial Frame grenade launcher is known for its ability to fire bursts and leave lingering pools of Arc damage on impact, making it a strong contender for both PvE and, in niche scenarios, PvP.

Destiny 2 and Its God Roll: Get Psychopomp

Psychopomp is part of the dedicated Episode: Heresy weapon pool. This means you'll primarily acquire it by engaging in activities related to this Episode.

• Heresy Activities: The most common way to get Psychopomp is by playing any of the Episode: Heresy activities.
• The Nether Activity: The new Nether activity is considered the best place to farm for Psychopomp, as it has a higher drop chance for Heresy weapons. It drops from completing encounters and opening chests within The Nether.
• Tome of Want Focusing: For more targeted farming, you can focus for Psychopomp at the Tome of Want (the seasonal vendor/device related to Episode: Heresy).
  • You'll need to use Episodic Weapons Scriptures to narrow down the loot pool to Episode: Heresy weapons.
  • To further increase your chances of getting a grenade launcher specifically, you'll also need Crumbling Grenade Launcher Scriptures. These scriptures are consumed when initiating a ritual at the Tome of Want, making it much more likely to drop a grenade launcher.

• Perk 2: Harmony, Elemental Honing, Frenzy, Full Court, Rolling Storm, Demolitionist, Unrelenting.

Psychopomp PvE God Roll in Destiny 2

For PvE, Psychopomp excels at clearing groups of enemies and contributing to Arc-focused builds.

• Barrel: Quick Launch (Greatly increases projectile speed and improves handling, making thegrenades travel faster and the weapon feel more responsive.)
• Magazine: High-Velocity Rounds (Boosts projectile speed and stability, ensuring your grenades reach their targets quickly and predictably.)
• Perk 1 (Situational): Envious Assassin or Ambitious Assassin
  • Envious Assassin: (Defeating targets with other weapons overflows the magazine fromreserves.) This is excellent for boss damage or burst damage, allowingyou to build up a massive magazine before switching to Psychopomp.
  • Ambitious Assassin: (Overflows the magazine based on the number of rapid kills beforereloading.) This is fantastic for add-clear, ensuring you always haveextra shots for extended engagements.
• Perk 2 (Situational): Rolling Storm or Frenzy
  • Rolling Storm: (Gain a stack of Bolt Charge when dealing Arc damage with this weapon.At 5 stacks, your Arc abilities and supers become more potent for ashort duration.) This perk is superb for Arc builds, constantly boosting your ability and Super uptime. It synergizes well with the Area DenialFrame.
  • Frenzy: (Being in combat for an extended period grants increased damage, handling, and reload speed.) This is a reliable damage perk for general use, offering consistent buffs as long as you're actively engaging enemies.

For maximum boss damage, Envious Assassin + Rolling Storm is a powerful combination, allowing for huge bursts of empowered Arc damage. For general add clear and consistent utility, Ambitious Assassin + Frenzy (or Rolling Storm if you're leaning heavily into Arc abilities) is an excellent choice.

Psychopomp PvP God Roll in Destiny 2

Generally, Area Denial Frame grenade launchers are not top-tier choices for competitive PvP in Destiny 2 due to their unique firing pattern and reliance on lingering effects.Psychopomp also lacks many conventional PvP-focused perks. However, ifyou choose to use it in the Crucible, certain perks can make it moreviable for area control and disruption.

• Barrel: Quick Launch (Maximizes projectile speed, making it easier to hit fast-moving targets.)
• Magazine: High-Velocity Rounds (Further boosts projectile speed, crucial for consistency in PvP.)
• Perk 1: Threat Detector (Increased reload, stability, and handling when enemies are in closeproximity. This helps with the weapon's responsiveness in franticclose-quarters engagements.)
• Perk 2: Full Court (Increases projectile damage the further it travels before impact.While difficult to consistently proc on a grenade launcher, it offersthe potential for higher burst damage at range.)

While the suggested roll with Threat Detector and Full Court aims to get the most out of the weapon in PvP, Psychopomp's primarystrength remains in PvE. Its unique Area Denial Frame can be used forzoning control in objective modes, but it's generally outclassed byother special weapons for direct engagements.
