Not many Destiny 2 weapons can go from zero to hero, but Warden’s Law seems to have achieved this tremendous feat. This once-terrible hand cannon is back and it’s gunning to become one of the most coveted new weapons in Destiny 2.
Warden’s Law is ushering in the new Heavy Burst archetype for hand cannons, which fires two bullets in quick succession. It feels like a mix of two-burst sidearms; Crimson with two bullets instead of three, or even a watered-down, slower-firing Graviton Lance depending on what invokes more familiarity for you.
Here is our Warden’s Law god roll for PvE and PvP, as well as a guide on how to get the weapon in Destiny 2.

As far as a base version of Warden’s Law goes, we’ve got a few enhancements compared to the classic sunset version of the weapon. One perk I like the look of is Discord, which grants bonus handling, accuracy, ADS speed, and a Subsistence-like reload effect on kill after securing kills with a different weapon.
Paired with Rampage, and you’ll have quite a beastly piece of kit—but there’s another amazing perk combination that works specifically with Hunters’ Lucky Pants Exotic. Combining Fourth Time’s The Charm with Vorpal Weapon, you’ll be able to boost your outgoing hand cannon damage exponentially, since the Heavy Burst intrinsic trait for Warden’s Law applies two stacks instead of one.
For PvP, go for Perpetual Motion or Moving Target with Zen Moment for a well-rounded burst hand cannon. If you find you’re hitting your shots, Kill Clip for the damage boost post-reload after a kill means you’ll be able to chain multikills easily.
How to get Warden’s Law in Destiny 2
To obtain the new Warden’s Law in Destiny 2, you must receive a copy of the weapon from its connected Vanguard Nightfall. Once you’ve received the weapon drop, you can use Vanguard Engrams via Focused Decoding to try your luck at a copy with randomized rolls.
If you haven’t unlocked Warden’s Law, you’ll unfortunately have to wait until the weapon reappears in the weekly Nightfall rotation.
