While several weapons in Destiny 2’s Episode: Revenant shine, the adaptive frame Arc pulse rifle, Vantage Point, deserves attention. Its optimal roll makes it a formidable weapon in PvE, offering synergy with Arc builds that focus on delivering Jolt to enemies while keeping the user amplified.
How to Obtain Vantage Point
Currently, players can earn Revenant weapons by engaging in the episode’s primary activity, the wave-based Onslaught: Salvation mode. Rewards for completing certain waves include random drops of Revenant firearms, including Vantage Point. However, the gear retrieved from reward chests is random in nature, meaning players may receive other weapons or armor instead. To increase the chances of acquiring desired guns, players can utilize the Tonics system, crafting and using Enrichment tonics to enhance specific drop probabilities while playing Onslaught: Salvation. Additionally, a Vantage Point roll can be acquired through the completion of Revenant Act 1 story quests.
Vantage Point God Rolls
Vantage Point PvE God Roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Break
- Magazine: Tactical Mag (Reload Speed +10, Stability +5, Magazine +3)
- First Perk: Keep Away (Increases reload, range, and accuracy when no enemies are nearby)
- Second Perk: Jolting Feedback (Dealing repeated damage with this weapon inflicts Jolt)
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
Vantage Point enhances Arc builds with its Jolting Feedback perk, allowing players to inflict Jolt on various enemies, effectively maintaining the Amplified buff with Arc or Prismatic subclasses. The Keep Away perk consistently offers benefits since players typically engage at a distance, ensuring they maximize effectiveness. For players looking to diversify away from Arc synergies, Stats for All and One For All are solid alternatives.
Vantage Point PvP God Roll
- Barrel: Smallbore
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- First Perk: Keep Away (Increases reload, range, and accuracy when no enemies are nearby)
- Second Perk: Headseeker / Desperado
- Headseeker: Increases precision damage and aim assist for body shots landed with this weapon for a short duration.
- Desperado: Increases rate of fire upon reloading after a precision final blow.
- Masterwork: Stability
In PvP scenarios, Vantage Point remains a reliable, if not exceptional, weapon. Critical stats such as range and stability are vital for pulse rifles in the Crucible, ensuring greater hit reliability at extended distances. The Keep Away perk proves advantageous in countless situations, while Headseeker bolsters precision damage effectively, and Desperado provides a valuable rate-of-fire increase following precision kills.
