Psi Aeterna IV god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Destiny 2's rocket pulse rifles are unparalleled in the special ammo department, and a god-rolled Psi Aeterna IV is among the best Energy weapons to have in your back pocket. The icing on the cake is that you can use it with Renegades' Praxic Blade, since they're in different slots. Mint Retrograde was the first of its archetype, and is by far the most famous. Psi Aeterna IV follows in its footsteps, bringing an alternative (or a pairing) in the Energy slot. While its perk pool gives it a certain "we have Mint Retrograde at home" quality, this Arc pulse rifle can complement its sibling quite well in double-special loadouts, or open up your Kinetic slot for an Exotic of choice. Not necessarily the Praxic Blade, but you know, statistically, it's probably the Praxic Blade.

The Arc-aligned pulse rifle doesn't have access to best-in-slot perks such as Rewind Rounds or Envious Arsenal, which puts it at a noticeable disadvantage. Instead, Psi Aeterna has Trickle Charge, a reload perk that leans into its Arc affinity to pump ammunition into its magazine whenever you gain or unleash Bolt Charge. If you're lucky enough to get a roll with Accelerated Assault, too, you'll get more ways to sustain damage (when it's not bugged). This is particularly good if you have ways to grab Bolt Charge quickly, such as a Storm's Keep Titan in your vicinity. As a backup option for the third column, Blast Distributor can temporarily boost your Grenade stat, letting you top it off or use it as a buffer to spread your points elsewhere without as much of a loss. Think of it as a Font mod on your gun. Outside of those picks, Eddy Current can work in a pinch. It's good if you have access to Amplified without an easy way to stack Bolt Charge in a boss fight, such as a Getaway Artist Warlock or an Ascension Hunter.

If you're going monochrome, Jolting Feedback applies Jolt to enemies, causing area damage and even stunning any Overload Champions caught in the blast for some bonus utility. Outside of those two, One For All and Adrenaline Junkie are the only options to give you bigger damage numbers, but neither is particularly suited to boss encounters. The first requires you to shoot three different targets quickly to activate, but not all bosses have adds. Both are good for general use in hard content, but they don't work as well for bosses. These two perks are either more work or less upkeep for a similar bonus to Elemental Honing, which is why the jack-of-all-trades ranks at the top of our god roll. Rolling Storm joins the list of honorable mentions, mostly because it can fuel Trickle Charge and give you a little edge on your abilities.
