An ideal drop, or ‘god roll’, of Rose emphasizes fast, accurate shooting with a boost to damage output.
Here is our recommended Rose god roll in Destiny 2:
Corkscrew Rifling Tactical Mag Perpetual Motion Explosive Payload
Corkscrew Rifling gets the nod over frequent favorite Arrowhead break due to its boost to range. Rose has a very predictable recoil pattern, so there is little need to affect that, and controlling damage rolloff is always an important consideration for hand cannons. Tactical Mag is a jack-of-all-trades perk. An extra round for a hand cannon’s magazine goes a long way. Improving stability and reload speed is key to keeping your gun constantly firing with high accuracy. Perpetual Motion is designed to increase stability, handling, and reload speed if you are continuously moving. That works perfectly with how Rose is best used, and the perk will be active frequently. Explosive Payload is great for hand cannons. It converts half of damage dealt to explosive damage, which does not have any falloff based on range. It also buffs that portion of the damage by 30% in PVE activities. With it, Rose is more lethal, and effective at great distances. As per usual, once you have your preferred roll, be sure to upgrade it to a Masterwork to give it a stat boost, ability to generate Orbs on multi-kills, and add the option of a kill tracker!
