Destiny 2 Mechabre God Rolls
Mechabre is an Aggressive Frame Sniper Rifle that sports high damage and low overall handling. While it may feel sluggish by default, it does have a number of perks that help it overcome that weakness. With that said,the third and fourth column perkson this weapon greatly affect its performance — there are specific rolls that make this gun better in PvE and ones that improve its reliability in PvP.
Starting with the PvE side of things, players have a number of good fourth-column perks to farm for.Voltshotis a decent choice for damaging Majors/Champions while simultaneously clearing chaff, though this does require players to first score a kill and reload immediately after. Those who are looking for pure damage buffs should look for a Mechabre withVorpal WeaponorHigh Groundinstead.
High Ground grants a 20% weapon damage bonus as long as players are standing at least one meter above the ground. Although this buff is situational, players can make their own high ground by standing on top of a Stasis crystal. Regardless of what damage perk players get, try to use it withAlloy MagazineandClown Cartridgeto larger magazines and quicker reloads.
For PvP, there are two potential god rolls for the Mechabre:
Snapshot SightsandOpening Shotare S-tier perks for Sniper Rifles inDestiny 2. The former increases ADS speed while Opening Shot boosts range and accuracy.Many other sniper rifleshave this perk combo, and all of them perform very well in the hands of a skilled sniper.
Keep AwayandDiscordachieve the same effect as the god roll above, but it also comes with the benefit of increased handling and airborne effectiveness. Both perks provide accuracy bonuses, but Discord requires a kill to activate, and Keep Away only works if there are no nearby enemies. It’s a worthy alternative to the classic Snapshot/Opening Shot combo, but it will force players to adapt to its playstyle.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
