Man, grinding on Kepler feels like hitting the jackpot at a Vegas slot machine lately. With Destiny 2's Edge of Fate expansion dropping this year, Bungie cooked up a whole new gear tier system tied to Power Level progression here. Translation? The deeper you dive into Kepler's world tiers, the juicier these weapons get. Six fresh guns are up for grabs, and let me tell ya—most aren't just infusion fodder. Whether you're shredding adds in PvE or sweating in Trials, these bad boys are worth your salt. Here's the lowdown on what rolls will make your Guardian go "oh heck yes."
🔥 Agape (Solar Hand Cannon)
Okay, real talk: Agape’s our first Solar two-burst HC, and it’s got that spicy synergy with Solar 3.0 builds. Running 
Ember of Empyrean? Chef’s kiss. For my 
Lucky Pants hunters, this thing’s a ramp-up machine before swapping to 
Eriana's Vow. Outlaw + Master of Arms turns add-clear into a walk in the park. PvP? Hot take: if you can handle the wonky burst recoil (stack stability like your life depends on it), Heal Clip procs 
Ember of Benevolence for allies, while Enhanced Precision Instrument slashes TTK to 0.57s with Radiant. Miss a shot though? GG, you’re toast.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Extended Barrel | Flared Magwell | Outlaw | Master of Arms | Range |
| PvP | Smallbore | Ricochet Rounds | Heal Clip/Encore | Precision Instrument | Stability |
💥 Giver's Blessing (Auto Rifle)
Look, 720 RPM autos are my guilty pleasure in low-tier Nightfalls. Giver’s Blessing? It’s got Kinetic Tremors—absolute monster for chunking majors. Pair with Shoot to Loot? Now you’re looting orbs while blowing up Cabal. PvP’s trickier though. Moving Target + Zen Moment turns it into a headshot laser… but only if you hug that 28-meter range cap. Outside that? You’re throwing pebbles.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Arrowhead Brake | Ricochet Rounds | Shoot to Loot | Kinetic Tremors | Range |
| PvP | Full Bore | Ricochet Rounds | Moving Target | Zen Moment | Range |
⚡ Last Thursday (Pulse Rifle)
Post-Weapons stat nerf, this ain’t the Crucible menace it once was. But slap on Elemental Honing? Still cracks that spicy two-burst TTK. Moving Target’s my crutch for landing headshots. PvE’s meh—Demolitionist + Frenzy works for playlist strikes, but against anything beefier? You’ll feel like you’re tickling a Tormentor.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Arrowhead Brake | Ricochet Rounds | Demolitionist | Frenzy | Range |
| PvP | Smallbore | Ricochet Rounds | Moving Target | Elemental Honing | Range |
🥶 Precipial (Shotgun)
Holy moly—if you skipped Matador 64, this energy slot beast is your redemption arc. PvP god roll? Threat Detector + Opening Shot makes aping feel dirty. Or go full send with Lone Wolf + Discord for those "how did I survive that?!" moments. PvE’s where it gets wild: ONE-TWO PUNCH IN COLUMN ONE. Yeah, you read that right. Pair with Discord for ammo economy or Destabilizing Rounds for void shenanigans. Hands-down Kepler’s crown jewel.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Barrel Shroud | Assault Mag | One-Two Punch | Discord | Range |
| PvP | Corkscrew Rifling | Accurized Rounds | Threat Detector/Lone Wolf | Opening Shot/Discord | Handling |
🌩️ Sublimation (Scout Rifle)
Alright, let’s keep it a buck fifty: scouts are in the dumpster. Rapid Hit + Voltshot sounds cool for add-clear… till you realize rocket sidearms exist. PvP? 150 RPMs need miracles to compete. Moving Target + Explosive Payload is… fine? But with 0.67s TTK meta weapons running rampant, farming this feels like doing homework for fun. Only chase if you’re starving for an Arc scout.
❄️ Ulterior Observation (Stasis Machine Gun)
Basically Stasis Pro Memoria. Subsistence + Killing Tally? Chef’s kiss for add-spam. Wanna meme? Headstone + Dragonfly makes pretty (but useless) ice explosions. Crucible roll’s surprisingly sticky— Moving Target + Dynamic Sway Reduction turns it into a head-seeking missile. Still no Hammerhead, but hey, it’ll clap in Iron Banner.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Arrowhead Brake | Ricochet Rounds | Subsistence | Killing Tally | Range |
| PvP | Arrowhead Brake | Ricochet Rounds | Moving Target | Dynamic Sway Reduction | Range |
🔍 Kepler Weapon FAQ
Q: Is Precipial really worth no-lifing over?
A: Abso-freaking-lutely. One-Two Punch in column one is cracked. Only energy shotty that does this.
Q: Why’s Sublimation so mid?
Bungie’s had scouts on the back burner since Lightfall. Voltshot’s fun, but special ammo primaries outclass it hard.
Q: Can Agape compete in high-level PvP?
If you’ve got thumbs of steel and love high-risk plays? Maybe. But flinch will make you rage-quit.
Q: Ulterior vs. Commemoration?
Commemoration’s still king for DPS. Ulterior’s for when you wanna freeze everything stylishly.
Q: Best all-rounder Kepler weapon?
Giver’s Blessing. Shreds adds, decent in 6v6. No brainer.
