Conspiracy Honed god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Conspiracy Honed brings a sharp god roll to the arsenal in Destiny 2‘s Equilibrium dungeon. This 140rpm heat-based sniper rifle can double up on damage perks, which is always a welcome addition to any weapon in the game.

That firepower comes with quite a price, however: Conspiracy Honed heats up quite quickly, and you’ll rarely get more than three or four shots in without needing to vent this weapon. And that’s where the fun comes in.

Here are our PvE god rolls for Conspiracy Honed in Destiny 2. We don’t fully know the parts yet, but we based our information on the weapon’s perk pool on an Aztecross video showcasing the weapons ahead of time.

Conspiracy Honed PvE god rolls in Destiny 2

• First perk: Vorpal Weapon (Honorable mention: Cooling Baubles)
• Second perk: Bait and Switch (Honorable mention: Firing Line)
• Recommended mod: Enhanced Heat Generation (makes this weapon generate less heat)

The thought of double damage perks is alluring enough on any weapon, but putting some of the best damage perks together on the same gun and in different columns is almost a dream come true for anyone hunting god rolls in Destiny 2. And Conspiracy Honed does deliver. For the quick and overly simple version, this is our pairing for this weapon.

Conspiracy Honed will overheat quickly. Our copy takes three shots before having to vent, but that’s the key. After your first vent, your goal is to tap your reload button as close to the marking on your reticle as possible.

This gives you five seconds of reduced heat generation, which is enough to let you get off far more shots without overheating. Once your meter goes in the red again, prepare to hit another perfect reload and keep the bullets flowing. This is essential for figuring out how to operate this sniper, and that’s why it determines the choices you make. Our copy of it has the Enhanced Heat Generated mod glued to it.

In the first column, Vorpal Weapon provides the biggest amount of direct damage. It’s a 15-percent bonus for special-ammo weapons in the current sandbox, and that’s on top of other buffs.

Because of the cooling mechanic, however, Cooling Baubles can work well if you have enough orbs of power on hand—say, anything from two to five other guardians throwing Supers back to back. This also synergizes with the weapon’s origin trait, Imperial Allegiance, which increases cooling rate when near allies. Enlightened Action didn’t seem to have any effect for us, which is likely due to a bug.

For the second column, Bait and Switch deals more damage than Firing Line and works solo. This is our indisputed choice, and Firing Line is more of a consolation prize. The rest of the perk pool is either not as good as this duo or it’s focused on PvP, so this is the roll we’re keeping at hand.
