Rocket-powered Sidearms have been the rage inDestiny 2since their first one was released in Season of the Wish. Now, Lotus Easter has entered the fray and has a host of new perks, which means new god rolls are out for PvP and PvE.
Lotus Eater PvE god roll in Destiny 2
The Lotus Eater is a PvE monster and the first Void Rocket Sidearm to enter the sandbox. Void is already incredibly powerful, especiallyin activities like the Nether from Episode: Heresy. You’ll get tons of value using any of the following perk combinations.
We much prefer having as large an explosive radius as possible in PvE, so Volatile Launch is the overall best choice for the Lotus Eater. Confined Launch has you covered if you don’t want to trade explosion size for speed. Appended Mag is a blanket buff to this Sidearm’s effectiveness thanks to a free extra three bullets in the magazine. Tactical Mag is an acceptable substitution with its faster reload and additional aiming stability.
There’s a much larger gap between the top two Traits and the other possible rolls you can get. With Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds, you spread Volatile whenever you defeat an enemy and get a Void overshield for defeating any Volatile enemies. It’s frankly a bit absurd, so much so that you canalmostignore the barrel and magazine perks if you get the two Traits you want.
Lotus Eater PvP god roll in Destiny 2
Rocket-Assisted Frame Sidearms aren’t nearly as valuable for Crucible PvP as they are facing the enemies of humanity. The Lotus Eater, thankfully, has a few good options if you never want to take it off your build.
We’re primarily using Quick Launch for its solid buff to the Lotus Eater’s projectile velocity. Smart Drift Control offers a smaller bonus there, but its improvements to Stability, Recoil, and Handling are nice to have. High-velocity rounds combine well with either Barrel Perk to turn Lotus Eater shots into fast-moving engines of death.
Sadly, the two Trait perks don’t synergize like they did for the PvE god roll. However, you’re likely to be shooting down on your enemies with a Rocket Sidearm for best effect, making Higher Ground’s immediate 15% damage buff a godsend. Reconstruction ensures you have access to as many shots as you can unload. So many, possibly, that your foes won’t expect the constant barrage.
Those are our god rolls for the Lotus Eater inDestiny 2PvE and PvP. Hopefully, your luck is good enough to get anything approaching them without needing to grind too much. May it take your Void builds to new heights.
