Hezen Vengeance god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Hezen Vengeance, the Vault of Glass rocket launcher in Destiny 2, recently got reprised, and with the right perks, it easily becomes the best rocket launcher for DPS in the game.

Hezen Vengeance is an Aggressive Frame Solar rocket launcher from the Vault of Glass raid. The best rocket launcher used to be Apex Predator from the Last Wish, and while both are similar in base boss damage profile, Hezen Vengeance has far superior perks.

Here are our Hezen Vengeance god rolls for PvE and PvP in Destiny 2.

What is the Hezen Vengeance god roll in Destiny 2

Hezen Vengeance PvE god roll

• Launcher Barrel: Quick Launch
• Magazine: Impact Casing
• Perk one: Envious Arsenal
• Perk two: Bait and Switch
• Masterwork: Handling
• Weapon Mod: Tactical

Hezen Vengeance PvP god roll

• Launcher Barrel: Quick Launch
• Magazine: High-velocity Rounds
• Perk one: Impulse Amplifier
• Perk two: Vorpal Weapon
• Masterwork: Handling
• Weapon Mod: Tactical

Hezen Vengeance has the best DPS combination in the current meta: Envious Arsenal with Bait and Switch. Envious Arsenal reloads the weapon when dealing damage with two other weapons, and Bait and Switch grants a 30 percent damage buff for 10 seconds when dealing damage with all equipped weapons. The perks synergize perfectly, and paired with the Timelost Magazine Origin Trait, which doubles the mag size for 20 seconds, make Hezen Vengeance the best rocket launcher in the game.

There’s also a combination of Overflow and Bipod. You can use it to quickly fire a ton of rockets, especially with the help of the Origin Trait. However, this requires you to jump through multiple hoops to trigger Overflow for about the same damage values as Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch.

Other perks available on Hezen Vengeance include Auto-loading Holster, Cluster Bomb, Explosive Light, Vorpal Weapon, and Lasting Impression. They are okay but only use them temporarily while you’re farming for the god roll.

The rest of the weapon prioritizes handling. Both main perks focus on quickly swapping weapons, and higher handling ensures you can squeeze in more damage during DPS phases. The barrel, masterwork, and the weapon mod all increase handling to a maximum of 54.

On the PvP side, rocket launchers usually aren’t the way to go, but you can focus on increasing velocity with perks like Impulse Amplifier. Pair it with Vorpal Weapon in case you need to deal with a Guardian in their Super.

How to get Hezen Vengeance in Destiny 2

Hezen Vengeance drops from the last two encounters in the Vault of Glass raid: Gatekeeper and Atheon. The Timelost version of the gun drops from completing the Gatekeeper encounter challenge on Master difficulty when VoG is the featured raid in the weekly rotation.

If you don’t care about the Adept version, you can focus on collecting Deepsights to unlock the Hezen Vengeance pattern. Even simply collecting the first two chests per character every week using a checkpoint bot can get you closer to the pattern if you don’t raid as often.

How to complete the Gatekeeper challenge in Destiny 2

The Gatekeeper challenge, Strangers in Time, requires you to defeat the Sacrificial Wyvern and the Descendant Praetorian inside the portals at the same time. The game gives you a three to five-second window to kill both enemies, so there’s room in case you can’t kill your enemy as fast.

Whoever has Aegis to kill the Descendant Praetorian and the player whose side has the Sacrificial Wyvern must communicate their kills. Ideally, the player with the Wyvern should get it low while the relic is on the way to the Praetorian, and on the count, both players finish off their enemies.

Once you have finished with confluxes on the inside, the challenge is done, and everyone can focus on protecting the final conflux. The Sacrificial Wyverns and Descendant Praetorians on the outside don’t have to die at the same time, so you can clear them as you normally would.
