Destiny 2 Keraunios God Roll Guide

by

The Guardian Games 2025 seasonal event in Destiny 2 introduces a new weapon, named Keraunios, into the game’s inventory. This Legendary Arc trace rifle is particularly potent in PvE (Player vs Environment) scenarios due to its rollable perks, but it also benefits significantly from buffs provided by the Heresy Artifact because of its focus on Arc abilities and damage output. Here’s a guide on how to obtain Keraunios and the ideal perk combinations to aim for.

How to get Keraunios

Keraunios can come from any source related to weapons during the Guardian Games, including Rushdown or by accomplishing tasks set by Eva Levante in the Tower throughout the event period. The quickest way to acquire Keraunios is by participating in the Rushdown mode, as defeating at least three bosses within a single run guarantees a drop from a Guardian Games weapon. Since Keraunios is unique to the Guardian Games, keep in mind that once the event concludes, you won’t be able to get it anymore—not until 2026.

At the Guardian Games event, you’ll find challenges with a guaranteed Keraunios drop. To participate, simply collect any medal from the games and deposit it in the designated Tower area. Completing the initial step of the Best in Class quest, which you can obtain from Eva Levante, will also reward you with a Keraunios. Don’t forget to equip or use the Guardian Games class item as an ornament for the rewards to appear.

Keraunios god rolls

Keraunios PvE god roll

  • Barrel: Fluted Barrel
    • Stability +5, Handling +15
  • Battery: Light Battery
    • Handling +10, Reload Speed +10
  • First Perk: Recycled Energy or Eddy Current
    • Recycled Energy: Reloading after defeating targets grants energy to your lowest charged ability.
    • Eddy Current: Temporarily increases reload speed and handling after sprinting or while Amplified.
  • Second Perk: Jolting Feedback, Detonator Beam, or Rolling Storm
    • Jolting Feedback: Dealing repeated damage applies Jolt. While Amplified, Jolt is applied faster.
    • Detonator Beam: Dealing sustained damage creates an explosion around the target.
  • Masterwork: Handling

To enhance how Keraunios functions, we suggest adopting the suggested upgrades. By default, it discharges precise bursts of Arc energy against enemies, but with an optimal roll, it transforms into a deadly laser weapon. Including secondary effects like Jolt not only amplifies outgoing damage but also disrupts enemy attacks. We’ve focused on refining the weapon’s handling, though you can also optimize its reload speed through Masterworking, which pairs well with the Light Battery. If you selected Eddy Current over Recycled Energy, we’d suggest prioritizing this enhancement first.

Keraunios PvP god roll

  • Barrel: Smallbore
    • Range +7, Stability +7
  • Battery: Projection Fuse
    • Range +10
  • First Perk: Dynamic Sway Reduction
    • Improves accuracy and stability while continuously holding down the trigger.
  • Second Perk: Closing Time
    • Improves range, accuracy, and handling as the magazine gets lower.
  • Masterwork: Range

Based on our choices, it appears we’re striving for a significant enhancement in Keraunios’ typical reach. In a swift PvP scenario, it’s not the weapon with the highest power you should bring to the Crucible. Despite this, it remains striking and can challenge even the most powerful Guardians. The Closing Time perk is beneficial for boosting stats that aid in close combat victories, such as range. However, keep in mind that it requires a nearly empty magazine to activate, so avoid overzealous manual reloading.
