Season of the Wish? More like Season of the Trace Rifle. Destiny 2‘s late 2023 season has introduced some of the most powerful special weapons in recent history, including the new Strand trace Incisor.
If it wasn’t clear enough from the image above, this beast of a special can only be acquired from Trials of Osiris, with focused engrams available to reroll the weapon’s perks.
Here are our picks for the best perks and god roll for the Incisor in Destiny 2.
What is the Incisor god roll in Destiny 2?
Incisor PvE god roll
| Column | Perk |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Enhanced Battery |
| Trait One | Subsistence or Slice |
| Trait Two | Killing Tally |
| Origin Trait | One Quiet Moment |
Incisor PvP god roll
| Column | Perk |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake |
| Magazine | Tactical Battery |
| Trait One | Dynamic Sway Reduction |
| Trait Two | Kill Clip |
| Origin Trait | Alacrity |
Trace rifles require special ammo even in PvP and are already quite accurate, but throwing on Dynamic Sway Reduction goes a long way to keeping the weapon’s beam on target. Pairing it with Kill Clip makes complete sense, as the damage bonus received after reloading makes this trace rifle incredibly potent.
I ran it with a hand cannon and only really used it after obtaining my first special ammo brick—that way, I had reserve ammo ready to go after landing the first kill to make full use of Kill Clip. Arrowhead Brake and Tactical Battery round out the weapon ensuring the initial burst of recoil from activating the beam is minimized.
In PvE, Subsistence and Killing Tally are the go-to picks. You could use Envious Assassin in the first column but I think you’d rather use this trace rifle as your primary weapon, so automatically reloading on kill makes more sense here.
How to get Incisor in Destiny 2
Incisor is exclusively available via weekend PvP activity Trials of Osiris. You’ll need to earn the weapon by playing, then you’ll be able to focus your Trials Engrams on a randomly-rolled copy of the gun.
Incisor doesn’t have a weapon pattern like other Destiny weapons, so if you want enhanced perks, you’ll need to level the weapon up.
