Ancient Gospel god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

Ancient Gospel Hand Cannon has been re-issued alongside new perks and a different element in Destiny 2 Episode Revenant. Amid multiple changes to the Garden of Salvation gear pieces, this specific Hand Cannon has been changed from Solar to Void. While this completely changed the weapon's usage, players will also find newer perks to suit the current sandbox. Typically, for anyone wondering, the old Solar version of this weapon is still usable for any activity.

This article lists the best perks of the new and improved Ancient Gospel for PvE and PvP.

The following perks are recommended on the Ancient Gospel Hand Cannon for PvE:

Corkscrew Rifling for increased Stability, Handling, and Range
Tactical Mag for increased Stability, Reload Speed, and magazine size
Destabilizing Rounds for spreading Volatile debuff on adjacent targets
Explosive Payload for an AOE detonation on impact

The aforementioned perk combination is similar to the god roll of Zaouli's Bane, another popular Hand Cannon. However, Zaouli's Bane is a Solar weapon requiring Incandescent, which spreads Solar debuff to multiple targets. For the new Ancient Gospel, Destabilizing Rounds can work similarly, bringing in several synergies with Void builds.

Regarding other perks, Demolitionist is a great perk for Grenade energy, alongside Kill Clip for more damage.

Accurized Rounds for increased Range
Rampage for increased damage after kills
Explosive Payload for increased flinch on enemies with hits

Rapid Hit and Kill Clip is a great perk combination to have as well.

How to get Ancient Gospel in Destiny 2

Ancient Gospel is a craftable weapon in Destiny 2, obtainable from the Garden of Salvation Raid. If you want to farm it from drops, it can only be acquired from the Consecrated Mind boss fight. However, to get a guaranteed shot at a craftable version, the "Deepsight Signal" mission from Hawthorne will help.

This quest will help you finish the Garden of Salvation Raid each week and select a guaranteed Deepsight version of any weapon from the activity. In this case, the Ancient Gospel can be picked up.
