As a seasoned Destiny 2 veteran with countless hours spent in the Garden of Salvation raid, I can wholeheartedly vouch for the Ancient Gospel god roll. This hand cannon has been my go-to weapon ever since its revamp, and it’s not hard to see why.
Revenant. With a variety of outstanding perks to select, there will be numerous optimal builds for various gameplay styles. Here are some suggestions for PvP and PvE versions.
How to get Ancient Gospel
In the Garden of Salvation raid, defeating the Consecrated Mind boss grants an ancient artifact known as the Gospel. For details on obtaining other weapons from this location, check out our Garden of Salvation loot list.
Ancient Gospel god roll – PvP
In terms of Hand Cannons for Player versus Player (PvP), you might not find a better choice than the Ancient Gospel. With its ability to boast dual damage bonuses, it can swiftly pose a challenge for your adversaries.
| Ancient Gospel god roll – PvP | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel (Stability +5, Handling +15) |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds (Range +10) |
| Perk 1 | Rampage (Kills with this weapon temporarily grant increased damage) |
| Perk 2 | Swashbuckler (This weapon gains increase damage from melee kills and kills with this weapon) |
| Origin Trait | Photoinhibition (This weapon deals bonus damage to combatant shields and targets with overshields. Breaking a combatant’s shield disorients them; breaking an energy-matched shield also disorients nearby combatants). |
| Masterwork | Range (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Ballistics (Range +6, Stability +6) |
In your quest for perfecting this PvP build, strive to maximize its stats first, followed by a careful selection of perks. To achieve this objective, consider magazine, barrel, Masterwork, and mods tailored to your playstyle. For this specific setup, prioritize Fluted Barrel for enhanced handling, increased stability to minimize recoil, Accurized Rounds, Range Masterwork, and a Ballistics mod to boost the range stat as much as feasible.
Once completed, strive to attain Rampage and Swashbuckler abilities. Securing just one enemy takedown will drastically increase your damage output. This advantage will grow as you rack up more kills, making you a formidable threat in no time, particularly in Crucible matches with larger teams.
If you prefer to skip damage bonuses in favor of increased stats, consider using a combination of Eye of the Storm and Rangefinder.
Ancient Gospel god roll – PvE
With its Destabilizing Rounds, the ancient relic known as the Void Hand Cannon, Ancient Gospel, excels at swiftly eliminating hordes of enemies.
| Ancient Gospel god roll – PvE | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel (Stability +5, Handling +15) |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds (Range +10) |
| Perk 1 | Destabilizing Rounds (Final blows cause nearby targets to become volatile) |
| Perk 2 | Explosive Payload (Projectiles create an area-of-effect detonation on impact) |
| Origin Trait | Photoinhibition (This weapon deals bonus damage to combatant shields and targets with overshields. Breaking a combatant’s shield disorients them; breaking an energy-matched shield also disorients nearby combatants). |
| Masterwork | Reload Speed |
| Mod | Heavy Ammo Finder Enhancement |
Just like the last ideal setup, Fluted Barrel and Accurized Rounds make Ancient Gospel feel quicker and more lethal at longer distances. If you prioritize magazine capacity, Appended Mag could be beneficial. As for Masterwork, it’s subjective, but I dislike slower reload speeds in PvE situations where numerous enemies need to be handled swiftly due to their abundance.
By examining the key advantages, Destabilizing Rounds causes surrounding enemies to become unstable, essentially simplifying crowd control. Meanwhile, Explosive Payload aids in hitting concealed opponents and appears to include additional damage benefits when used in Player versus Environment (PvE) scenarios.
As a fellow enthusiast, if the previous pair doesn’t tickle your fancy, you might want to check out Demolitionist and Rampage from the first category, or perhaps Swashbuckler, Kill Clip, and Harmony in the final group. There’s an option for every taste here!
It’s great to have another Void, Adaptive Frame Hand Cannon option to pick from when designing the ideal build. Be sure to pick up the quest from Hawthorne so you can speed up your journey to crafting your own god roll Ancient Gospel. Find more god roll suggestions on our Destiny 2 Strategy Guide.
