Among the various new weapons introduced in Destiny 2 with The Edge of Fate expansion, a few have been brought back. One noteworthy addition that has long awaited an upgrade is the Unwavering Duty machine gun, which features one of the most appealing sounds in the game.
Unwavering Duty is an Adaptive Frame Solar machine gun from the Trials of Osiris. This type of machine gun is considered highly adaptable, excelling in both PvP due to its consistent firing rate and performing effectively in PvE at 450 RPM.
What is the ideal Unwavering Duty roll in Destiny 2?
Unwavering Duty PvE Ideal Roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Flared Magwell
- Perk one: Incandescent
- Perk two: Onslaught or Killing Tally
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
Unwavering Duty PvP Ideal Roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
- Perk one: Dynamic Sway Reduction
- Perk two: Killing Tally
- Masterwork: Range
Unwavering Duty offers a plethora of perk combinations for PvE content. The third perk column features options like Incandescent and Rampage. While Rampage provides a damage boost of up to 33 percent, Incandescent excels for AoE interactions and Solar synergies by igniting enemies.
As for the reload perks available in the third column, options include Envious Assassin, Auto-loading Holster, and ammo-refilling perks such as Subsistence and Fourth Time’s the Charm. With this setup, an Appended Mag would be beneficial compared to Flared Magwell to minimize reload frequency.
The fourth perk column offers Killing Tally, a staple for machine guns similar to Commemoration. This perk gradually increases damage with consecutive kills, peaking at 30 percent. Alternatively, Burning Ambition favors Solar interactions, but Incandescent often suffices for damage needs.
Unwavering Duty is also equipped with some of the finest perks for PvP. The Dynamic Sway Reduction in the third column enhances stability during continuous fire, while Killing Tally in the fourth column grants a damage increase of five percent after a kill, improving the time-to-kill from 0.53 seconds to 0.4 seconds. Target Lock appears in the fourth column too, but it does not impact time-to-kill in the same way as it does on primary weapons like Auric Disabler.
How to acquire Unwavering Duty in Destiny 2
Unwavering Duty continues to drop from Trials of Osiris. Following the release of The Edge of Fate, players can no longer focus rewards at Saint-14; instead, drops are determined by randomness, although there is an increased likelihood of receiving this machine gun when it is featured.
To attain Tier 4 and Tier 5 drops from Trials of Osiris, you must boost your Power level and Guardian Rank. Both of these factors influence your loot, including rewards from the Lighthouse chest. At a Power level of 300+, you can expect Tier 3 rewards with sporadic Tier 4 drops, and exceeding 400 Power will lead to more consistent Tier 4 drops, including occasional Tier 5 rewards.
