Gizmo Weft god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Guardians who try Destiny 2‘s events in Renegades may find a little extra gift in their stockings: Gizmo Weft, a grenade launcher with a spicy god roll thanks to a unique interaction. It first appeared during the Dawning, but it makes appearances on special occasions.

Inspecting Collections or the event vendor’s rewards showcases the new Gizmo Weft weapon, a micro-missile grenade launcher that comes in Strand flavor. It’s not The Mountaintop, naturally, but it shares an archetype with the famous meta-defining gun of old, in the same way Theodolite did with The Edge of Fate.

Since it’s connected to the green subclass, it does have access to a couple of Strand keywords, but the real gold isn’t in its element. Here are our Gizmo Weft PvE god rolls in Destiny 2, based on perk data from d2foundry.gg.

• Barrel: Hard Launch
• Mag: Spike Grenades
• First perk: Slideshot or Blast Distributor
  • Honorable mentions: Air Trigger, Envious Arsenal
• Second perk: Bipod, Elemental Honing, or Chain Reaction

Gizmo Weft is a handy grenade launcher to have, in no small part because it counts as New Gear. Another huge part of its allure, however, is Slideshot—which, if you remember the original Ignition Code from Season of the Splicer or Liturgy from Episode Revenant, is a useful tool for single-round grenade launchers. It’s essentially an on-demand instant reload for general use.

Two perks rise to the ranks in specialized cases, though: Envious Arsenal is a must if you plan on using it to help in boss damage rotations, while Air Trigger works if you’re looking for improved ammo generation. These aren’t exactly universal cases, so they’re not at the top of our list. Blast Distributor can help if you need points to top up your grenade stat.

For the fourth column, Bipod helps Gizmo Weft’s god roll shine due to some particularly fun math, as shown by community figure MossyMax. Micro-Missile Frames deal more damage based on the lower blast radius, so Bipod’s actual damage loss borders on nine percent instead of the usual 25. It’s worth it for the extra ammo and magazine capacity.

On the more orthodox side, Elemental Honing is a long-lasting, low-maintenance damage boost if your build has multiple elements, and Bait and Switch is a natural pairing with Envious Arsenal if you’re that inclined. Aggregate Charge works if your build has access to multiple debuffs, though Elemental Honing might be less of a hassle to stack. Chain Reaction works for crowd control, though Bipod still takes the cake for us.

Just like how Submersion made an early appearance before being farmable in Call to Arms during The Edge of Fate, Gizmo Weft drops from any event in the Portal. It surfaced during The Dawning and returned in Arms Week, but more opportunities to acquire it are likely on the horizon. It may drop whenever you acquire an event reward, so in Arms Week, that means completing select activities or using Combat Telemetry to buy Engrams from Ada-1.
