Fusion rifles are a formidable choice in both PvE and PvP modes in Destiny 2. They boast impressive damage output and a good range. Stasis fusion rifles, particularly Burden of Guilt, offer excellent anti-Champion abilities enhanced by elemental perks.
Burden of Guilt is an Adaptive Frame Stasis fusion rifle that reappeared in Trials of Osiris with The Edge of Fate expansion. This allows players to obtain a Tier 5 version of the weapon featuring multiple perks across all categories, including some fresh additions to the game’s arsenal.
Here are the recommended Burden of Guilt rolls for PvE and PvP in Destiny 2.
What is the ideal Burden of Guilt roll in Destiny 2?
Burden of Guilt PvE ideal roll
- Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling
- Battery: Enhanced Battery
- Perk one: Ambitious Assassin
- Perk two: Chill Clip
- Masterwork: Charge Time
Burden of Guilt PvP ideal roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Battery: Projection Fuse
- Perk one: Under Pressure
- Perk two: Closing Time
- Masterwork: Charge Time or Range
Burden of Guilt exemplifies a versatile weapon suitable for various play styles. In PvE, a solid all-around setup is Ambitious Assassin paired with Chill Clip. Ambitious Assassin increases magazine capacity by up to 150% based on kills before reloading, while Chill Clip inflicts slow on enemies when the magazine is above 50%.
For players prioritizing raw damage, consider using Controlled Burst in the fourth perk slot. While it may not perform as well as on Rapid-Fire fusion rifles like Scatter Signal, it still provides a 20% damage boost and a quicker charge time. Controlled Burst combined with Envious Arsenal can effectively enhance your damage output.
A more experimental roll could be Rimestealer with Crystalline Corpsebloom. Rimestealer grants a Frost Armor stack for defeating frozen enemies or shattering Stasis crystals, and Crystalline Corpsebloom spawns a Stasis crystal upon rapid enemy kills.
In PvP scenarios, Burden of Guilt should focus more on range, as Rapid-Fire fusion rifles tend to excel in close-quarters combat. Under Pressure improves stability and accuracy when the magazine is low, which is often the case in Crucible matches. Pairing this with Closing Time can enhance range, handling, and accuracy further, depending on your magazine status.
Additionally, considering Lone Wolf in the third column can provide aim assistance, starting at 5 and increasing to 10 when no teammates are nearby.
How to obtain Burden of Guilt in Destiny 2
Burden of Guilt drops from the Trials of Osiris PvP mode hosted from Friday through Tuesday. Each Trials weekend features a specific weapon with boosted drop rates, so it’s advisable to wait for Burden of Guilt to be the featured weapon if you’re looking to farm it.
Engram focusing is no longer available in Trials of Osiris, meaning you must rely on RNG for it to drop as a post-match reward or from the Lighthouse chest. The more you win, the better your rewards from the Lighthouse chest, which can include Tier 5 drops if your Power level is sufficiently high.
