Destiny 2 Arcane Embrace God Roll Guide

Oct 31, 2024

As a seasoned Guardian with years of combat under my belt, let me tell you, Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost never fails to deliver some spooky fun and unique loot. This year, the Arcane Embrace shotgun is the talk of the Tower! With its dual-slug firing mechanism, it’s an absolute beast in PvE and PvP scenarios.

In this year’s Festival of the Lost in Destiny 2, a special shotgun called Arcane Embrace has been introduced along with Halloween-themed activities. What sets this weapon apart is that instead of firing one slug with each trigger pull like most shotguns, it shoots two! With its optimal perk setup, it becomes an incredibly effective tool for swiftly taking down challenging enemies or dealing damage to bosses.

During the Festival of the Lost, the Arcane Embrace can be obtained exclusively from certain sources. Here’s a guide on how to acquire it and which god rolls are worth pursuing.

How To Get Arcane Embrace

As a gamer, during the Festival of the Lost event, I can snag an Arcane Embrace by conquering the spooky Haunted Sectors or by paying a visit to Eva Levante in the Tower. The silver lining is that I’ll receive an Arcane Embrace simply by completing the brief series of quests Eva assigns at the beginning of the event, and it comes with some pretty awesome loot like Trench Barrel and Dual Loader – stuff you can only nab as rewards from Eva. Once I’ve finished those tasks, I can dive into Haunted Sectors for a shot at scoring Arcane Embrace drops!

Additionally, you can unlock Eerie Engrams acquired during events, offering you a possibility to obtain a shotgun drop. If you’d like specific rewards instead of random items from the festival loot pool, Eva provides an option to “concentrate” your Eerie Engrams. With sufficient Candy, you can ensure new Arcane Embraces by interacting with her.

Arcane Embrace God Rolls

Arcane Embrace PvE God Roll

  • Barrel: Fluted Barrel or Corkscrew Rifling
    • Fluted Barrel: Stability +5, Handling +15
    • Corkscrew Rifling: +5 Stability, +5 Handling, +5 Reload Speed
  • Magazine: Tactical Mag
    • Stability +5, Reload Speed +15
  • First Perk: Fourth Time’s the Charm
    • Rapidly landing precision shots will return two rounds to the magazine.
  • Second Perk: Surrounded / Precision Instrument
    • Surrounded: This weapon gains improved bonus damage when three or more targets are in close proximity.
    • Precision Instrument: Dealing sustained damage significantly increases precision damage.
  • Masterwork: Handling or Reload Speed

With each trigger pull, Arcane Embrace delivers a heavy barrage of damage, making it crucial to keep the weapon stocked with ammo continuously for maximum effectiveness. Prioritize enhancing your reload speed and handling to ensure swift reloading and easy access when necessary. Fourth Time’s the Charm is beneficial for maintaining ammunition since it returns ammo upon landing accurate shots, allowing you to land two hits per blast. Both Surrounded and Precision Instrument are effective at boosting gun damage – opt for Precision Instrument if you excel in landing headshots, or Surrounded when engaging groups of enemies. Keep in mind that Surrounded offers a more substantial damage increase but is typically harder to activate effectively.

It’s important to point out that the Dual Loader / Trench Barrel weapon you obtain through Eva’s quest is exceptional and currently unobtainable via random rolls. This particular version serves as an effective substitute for top-tier, or “god roll,” alternatives.

Arcane Embrace PvP God Roll

  • Barrel: Smallbore
    • Stability +7, Range +7
  • Magazine: Steady Rounds / Accurized Rounds
    • Steady Rounds: Stability +15, Range -5, Airborne Effectiveness +7
    • Accurized Rounds: +10 Range
  • First Perk: Slideshot
    • Sliding partially reloads this weapon’s magazine and temporarily boosts handling and range.
  • Second Perk: Closing Time
    • Improves range, accuracy, and handling as the magazine gets lower.
  • Masterwork: Stability or Range

With only two shots, Arcane Embrace excels in PvP, but it functions more like a precision slug shotgun, so accuracy is crucial. To maximize its potential, focus on enhancing stability, as other perks offer significant range enhancements. The advantages of Slideshot – extended range and stability, along with faster reloads – are tough to ignore in the Crucible. Additionally, Closing Time significantly boosts stats that can help you win fights, particularly range, but be mindful that it activates only when your magazine is at least half empty, so plan your reloading accordingly.
