Destiny 2 Veiled Threat: God Rolls & How to get it

After the stunning conclusion to the fantastic Final Shape expansion, we are rolling right into the next content drop with the first of Destiny 2’s episodes titled “Echoes.” With it comes a lineup of new Vex-themed weapons, including the new Stasis auto rifle Veiled Threat.

We’ll help you understand how to get your hands on this Auto Rifle and the ideal rolls of the weapon you’ll want to hunt down.

Chapters

How good is Veiled Threat

While certainly not the most exciting of the assortment of weapons introduced with Echoes, Veiled Threat still packs a punch and is particularly useful in creating stasis crystals to damage nearby enemies.

As with all episodic weapons available in Echoes, Veiled Threat comes with the Radiolaria Transposer origin trait. This trait causes enemies to explode into a pool of radiolarian fluid, granting Veiled Threat impressive area-of-effect damage.

In PvE, Veiled Threat will be a solid Rapid-Fire Frame auto rifle option. There’s some steep competition in the auto rifle space right now, but with the right roll, it may even become one of your favorites due to the effectiveness of the stasis crystal forming perk Headstone and the aforementioned origin trait, which will drop pools of damaging radiolarian fluid.

Best alternatives:

	Quicksilver Storm	Auto Rifle	Primary	Strand	Exotic Kiosk
	Krait	Auto Rifle	Primary	Stasis	Gunsmith

Veiled Threat Perks and God Rolls

The Veiled Threat auto rifle can roll with the following perks:

• Perk 1: Threat Detector, Fragile Focus, Attrition Orbs, Shoot to Loot, To The Pain.
• Perk 2: Headstone, Desperate Measures, Encore, Surrounded, Collective Action, Moving Target, Gutshot Straight.
• Origin Trait: Radiolaria Transposer

Veiled Threat PvE god rolls

PvE Roll: All-Around
Barrel	Arrowhead Brake
Magazine	Tactical Mag
Perk 1	Strategist
Perk 2	Headstone (also good: Desperate Measures)
Masterwork	Stability

For our barrel, you will want Arrowhead Brake to better control that pesky auto rifle recoil and boost your weapon handling. For our magazine, we’ll want to pick Tactical Mag to increase our stability, mag size, and reload speed with the weapon.

For our perks, we want Strategist and Headstone in perk columns 1 and 2, respectively. Strategist will generate class ability energy upon kills and activating your class ability will buff stability with the weapon. Headstone is the real star of the show here; coupled with Veiled Threat’s 720 RPM Rapid-Fire frame, you’ll be creating countless stasis crystals when landing headshots on your enemies.

Veiled Threat will prove to be useful in crowd control. Between the radiolarian fluid damage pools created by the origin trait on offer here and the rapid creation of Stasis crystals via Headstone, you are sure to find this weapon lethal in PvE.

Veiled Threat PvP god rolls

PvP Roll: All-Around
Barrel	Chambered Compensator
Magazine	Accurized Rounds
Perk 1	Fragile Focus
Perk 2	Moving Target
Masterwork	Range

For our barrel and magazine, we will want Chambered Compensator and Accurized Round, respectively. This barrel will increase the weapon’s stability and handling to overcome any recoil it may produce. Accurized Rounds will increase our range with Veiled Threat, allowing us to engage opposing guardians earlier and from further away.

The first perk that we want is Fragile Focus. This perk dramatically increases our range as long as we have our shield intact. This will be highly effective as you initiate engagements from a greater distance.

For the second perk, we want Moving Target. This perk has been commonly used on auto rifles in PvP for years now, as it grants both better target acquisition and increased movement speed when aiming down the weapon’s sight, vital enhancements in outgunning any Crucible opponent.

How to get Veiled Threat
