The Beacon god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Fusion Rifles may not be among the most exciting guns in Destiny 2's arsenal, but a god-rolled The Beacon might just find its way to your vault. This Guardian Games weapon is the first non-raid Solar fusion rifle under the tier system, so those using fiery builds can get a little more choice in that slot. The Beacon does have access to a subclass verb, but our god roll opts for something with more damage. At least it matches the Surge mod on whatever Solar heavy you may be using. Here are our god rolls for The Beacon in Destiny 2.The Beacon PvE god rolls in Destiny 2 Screenshot by Destructoid Barrel: Arrowhead Brake, Corkscrew Rifling, or Fluted BarrelMag: Enhanced Battery or Liquid CoilsFirst perk: Envious Arsenal, Overflow, or Rewind RoundsSecond perk: Bait and Switch, Controlled Burst, or Reservoir Burst. There's not much need to chase less-used perks: The Beacon's god roll boasts the best-in-slot options for fusion rifles. The first column has three heavy hitters: Envious Arsenal, Overflow, and Rewind Rounds. Any of the three is welcome, and each has differences that change slightly what you'd like to use them for—though we lean strongly toward one of them. Our pick for a god roll, by far, is Envious Arsenal. This perk reloads your gun by dealing damage with all three of your weapons, which is a condition for a certain ubiquitous damage-boosting perk. That said, the other two have room to shine. Overflow triggers when picking up ammo, so it's a bit spotty to count on it for longer damage phases, but it's excellent for a general-use gun to fit into Grandmaster Nightfall Alerts or moments when you can't set up Envious Arsenal. Rewind Rounds triggers after emptying the magazine, so it's effortless. You have some other options here for specific setups, like Demolitionist and Collective Pugilism if your build could use some extra ability regen or Lead From Gold for some more utility, though we'd stick with any of the top three choices.

It activates by dealing damage with all your weapons during a small time window, which is the same trigger as Envious Arsenal. If you'd rather not set up Bait and Switch, however, Controlled Burst and Reservoir Burst are both top-tier choices for fusion rifles, with less setup involved. The former bumps your damage if you land all the pellets in a burst, while with the latter, the top shot of your magazine has bonus damage and explodes on impact. With Overflow, every shot above your base mag size gets the bonus from Reservoir Burst, creating a powerful combination if you'd like some added clear and damage. Outside of that, you have Burning Ambition, which could be alright if you have a way to apply Scorch to consistently get ignitions, and Successful Warm-Up if you're focused on add-clear.
