Rapid-fire frames in Destiny 2 have always been a part of the meta inside PvP. Whether it's a Pulse Rifle or Scout, players usually go for whichever has the optimal TTK (Time To Kill) value.

Over the years, both the PvE and PvP have seen many rapid-fire Scout Rifles outperform their other framed variants. However, there are two weapons in Season 15 that stand out the most.

Servant Leader and Contingency Plan have taken the Destiny 2 community by surprise with their performances inside PvP. With both being rapid-fire frames, these weapons can outshine specific exotics paired with the correct perks. This article focuses on the Contingency Plan and its god rolls.

Contingency Plan usage in Destiny 2

The Contingency Plan is the VEIST arc rapid-fire Scout Rifle, with a full-auto feature. It can be acquired via the World Drop, which means players will have a chance to get it by turning in materials to Banshee. However, the main issue isn't getting the weapon itself but getting the ideal perks.

Scout Rifles aren't the most-used weapons in the PvP, except for the rapid-fire frames. The Contingency Plan ensures a high RPM, leading to quick damage to players in a shorter time frame. Players need to be extremely lucky to have this weapon paired with the best perks in the world drop pool.

Rapid-fire frames come at the cost of recoils. However, certain perks can reduce this. Destiny 2 players should go for vertical recoil, as precision is essential for Scout Rifles.

The PvP god roll of the Contingency Plan includes:

  • Arrowhead Brake for improved recoil and handling.
  • Accurized Rounds for range, or Steady Rounds for stability.
  • Outlaw for a significant increase in reload speed after precision kills.
  • Kill Clip for increased damage on reload after a kill.

The PvE god roll of the Contingency Plan includes:

  • Arrowhead Brake for recoil direction and Handling on the weapon
  • Appended Mag for increased magazine size
  • No Distraction for reduced flinching on the weapon after aiming it for a short time
  • Frenzy for increased damage, reload speed, and Handling, specifically after being in combat for 12 seconds

It is not recommended to make the Contingency Plan your main weapon for high-tier PvE activities, except for certain areas such as "exhausting Arc shields" or "stunning Champions."


Rapid-fire frames also have a lower range compared to other archetypes. Since the Contingency Plan has been programmed to be a Scout Rifle, it hits at approximately 70 meters of range. This weapon can also deal 47 damage to the head and 28 to the body with basic stats.
