Calus Mini-Tool SMG in Destiny 2: How to obtain, God Rolls, and more

Opulent weapons returned with Destiny 2’s Season of the Haunted. However, the armaments featured many changes from what they used to be a few seasons ago. Opulent weapon perks have been reworked, and the highly-coveted Calus Mini-Tool SMG is no stranger to this fact.

The Opulent weapon had a few new God Rolls up its sleeve that make many in the community consider it to be quite a viable and versatile choice for both PvE and PvP.

The Calus Mini-Tool is one of the few weapons in the game that benefits from the MIDA Synergy Archetype, allowing Guardians to have additional speed benefits when this Exotic is equipped. However, even without it, players find the weapon to have exceptional handling and power.

Today’s Destiny 2 guide will look to go over some of the ways by which Guardians will be able to obtain the Calus Mini-Tool SMG in the current version of the game (Season 23/The Final Shape), and some of its more useful God Rolls to look out for.

Obtaining the Calus Mini-Tool SMG in Destiny 2

To obtain the Callus Mini-Tool SMG, Destiny 2 Guardians can look to invest in three very specific methods.

1) Crafting the Calus Mini-Tool SMG

The first way of obtaining the Calus Mini-Tool Smg will be to craft it, which is a new feature that was introduced in Destiny 2 with the Witch Queen expansion.

The feature is highly-coveted, and Guardians are now able to craft all the new weapons that have made their way into the game with Season of the Haunted as well as the returning Opulent sets.

However, to be able to craft it, players will be required to get the recipe for the Calus Mini-Tool. To do so, they must extract its Deepsight Resonance five times. To obtain the Standard and Deepsight variations of the weapon, Guardians must head to Xur each week and look for the standard version of the weapon.

After purchasing one standard variant, they must apply Deepsight Harmonizer to make it a red-border weapon, and then extract the Deepsight Resonance to progress towards the crafting pattern. A total of five patterns means that the crafting of the Calus Mini Tool has been unlocked.

2) Through Dares of Eternity

Dares of Eternity have a loot rotation with past seasonal weapons and world drops. Hence, players are recommended to keep an eye on the loot pool each week, and run the activity on weeks that have Haunted weapons in rotation,

One particular website that goes by the name of "Today in Destiny" will help you keep track of all the loot rotations.

The SMG comes with a lot of new perks in Destiny 2’s new season, and while God Rolls are usually a matter of preference, Guardians are still advised to look out for the following perks:

• Barrel: Fluted Barrel (+handling, +stability)/ Hammer-Forged Rifling (+range)/ Smallbore (+range, +stability)/ Corkscrew Rifling (+range,+stability, +handling)
• Magazine: Tactical Mag (+mag slot, +reload speed, +stability)/ Accurized Rounds (+range)/ Appended Mag (+ mag)/ Extended Mag (++ mag, ++ reload speed)
• Trait 1: Unrelenting (Rapidly defeating targets triggers health regeneration. Guardians and powerful combatants count as more than one kill)/Threat Detector (Increased reload, stability, and handling when enemies are nearby)
• Trait 2: Incandescent (Defeating a target spreads scorch to those nearby)/ Eye of the Storm (This weapon becomes more accurate and boosts handling as your health gets lower)/ Surrounded (This weapon gains bonus damage when three or more enemies are nearby)/ Tap the Trigger (Grants a short period of increased stability and accuracy on initial trigger pull)

These are some of the most reliable and versatile Calus Mini-Tool perks that Guardians should look out for in Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted.
