In the Echo Episode of Destiny 2, we got a new archetype of a Special grenade launcher and the first weapon to be in this category, Lost Signal.
Lost Signal is a Stasis Area Denial Frame Special grenade launcher. This archetype launches a set of projectiles that light up the ground for a brief period of time, similar to Witherhoard. This is the first weapon of its kind, and here are our picks for its god roll for both PvE and PvP.
Lost Signal god roll in Destiny 2
Lost Signal PvE god roll
- Barrel: Quick Launch
- Magazine: High-Velocity Rounds
- Perk one: Auto-Loading Holster
- Perk two: One for All or Reverberation
- Masterwork: Velocity or Handling
Lost Signal PvP god roll
- Barrel: Quick Launch
- Magazine: High-Velocity Rounds
- Perk one: Auto-Loading Holster
- Perk two: Vorpal Weapon
- Masterwork: Velocity or Handling
The Area Denial Frame is great for PvE as it allows you to clear out red-bar enemies fairly quickly. It can roll Auto-Loading Holster in the third column, which is always great on any Special weapon. You can then pair it with something like One for All or the new Reverberation perk that increases detonation size as you get final blows with the weapon. This also works well with its Origin perk, Radiolaria Transposer, which causes targets to explode.
An Area Denial Frame grenade launcher in PvP is certainly an interesting choice. Although it’s hard to tell this early if it’s worth choosing over other Special weapons like a fusion rifle, it lives up to its name, allowing you to block certain chokepoints and deal some damage to players stuck in the flames.
The PvP roll is mostly the same as the PvE, aiming to max out Velocity and Handling with the Barrel and Magazine. For perks, there are a few options. Just like for PvE, you can go with the Auto-Loading Holster in the third column but there’s also Quickdraw to pull the weapon out incredibly fast.
The fourth column is fairly lackluster for PvP as almost every perk requires you to get a kill with the weapon. Since it’s more of a utility grenade launcher, you won’t be consistently getting kills with it. You can go for Vorpal Weapon to better deny areas from Guardians with their Super active or something like High Ground to get an occasional damage boost, although it’s very situational in Destiny 2.
