Destiny 2 The Prophet god rolls, drop locations, and more

The Prophet is a new Destiny 2 Scout Rifle that can be considered another entry to the Tex Mechanica arsenal. However, players can obtain the weapon from Trials of Osiris only, making it one of the two new additions this season in Saint-14's inventory. The Prophet is a Kinetic weapon that fires at 120 RPM. A few perks can spice up the firing output, be it fire rate, damage, or other utility-based perks.

This article showcases the best perks to have on the new Tex Mechanica Scout Rifle for all activities. Note that The Prophet has the same default fire rate as Dead Man's Tale, which is 120 RPM. However, unlike the latter, The Prophet doesn't have very few options to help it easily gain a fire rate. Hence, it is best to use it around the low fire rate.

How to get The Prophet in Destiny 2?

To get The Prophet Scout Rifle, you must complete Trials of Osiris matches in Destiny 2 and collect Trials Engram. Head over to Saint-14 at the Tower and open up his inventory, followed by the Focused Decoding section. Here, you will find The Prophet under the "Weapons" section. Each of the focusings requires one Trial Engram and 20,000 Glimmer.

However, note that you must unlock The Prophet in your Collections first. An easy way to do this is by collecting enough Trials Engram and opening them up from Rahool Cryptarch at the Tower. Once you get The Prophet once from one of the Engrams, you are free to focus on Saint-14's inventory.
