Unyielding God Rolls and Methods to Acquire Them in Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine

The Rite of the Nine dungeon event in Destiny 2 continues to reward players with notable dungeon weapons, including the Relentless pulse rifle.

Relentless is characterized as a 450 RPM (High-Impact Frame) Strand pulse rifle. The latest version retains most of its essential perks while introducing new powerful options for PvE gameplay, such as Tear and Firefly. It boasts excellent subclass synergies alongside other Strand weapons, rivaling Adamantite from Episode Heresy.

Below are our recommended god rolls for Relentless in Destiny 2 for both PvE and PvP scenarios.

What is the Relentless god roll in Destiny 2?

Aiming for that perfect seven out of seven roll.

Relentless PvE god roll

Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
Magazine: Flared Magwell
Perk one: Firefly or Tear
Perk two: Hatchling
Masterwork: Range or Reload Speed

Relentless PvP god roll

Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
Perk one: Keep Away
Perk two: Headseeker
Masterwork: Range

For PvE, the optimum perk combination is Firefly and Hatchling, maximizing area-of-effect damage. Firefly triggers Solar explosions upon precision kills, while Hatchling spawns Threadlings under the same circumstances or via rapid enemy defeats. Furthermore, Solar kills from Firefly contribute to the «rapidly defeating targets» requirement for Hatchling, helping maximize your Threadling count.

Another commendable choice in the third column is Tear, which deals damage to nearby targets upon precision kills. Alternatively, Slice also fulfills a similar role but necessitates using your class ability. Both perks demonstrate strong synergy. Additionally, for builds not centered on Threadlings, Paracausal Affinity in the fourth column offers a 20 percent damage boost for six seconds after defeating an enemy with a matching alignment (kills achieved with the weapon itself are also applicable).

For PvP, the preferred roll remains unchanged, focusing on the combination of Keep Away and Headseeker. Keep Away provides a bonus of 10 range and 30 reload speed when there are no enemies within 15 meters, and Headseeker enhances precision damage when landing body shots.

While High-Impact pulse rifles aren’t the current front-runners in the Crucible, especially following the dominance of Elsie’s Rifles, they can still hold their own in skilled hands.
