Keraunios god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

Keraunios is the newest event-exclusive weapon from Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2025. This Arc Trace Rifle surprisingly becomes the second of its kind in one episode, after Warlord's Spear was released alongside the Iron Banner. However, it should be noted that the Keraunios is meant for PvE activities, while the Warlord's Spear allows players to engage in PvP fights.

The perk pools vary significantly between the two weapons, allowing each of them to fill in very specific roles.

This article lists the best perks a player can have on the Keraunios Trace Rifle for PvE and PvP.

The following perks are recommended on the Keraunios for PvE:

• Smallbore for increased Stability and Range on the weapon.
• Enhanced Battery for increased magazine size.
• Recycled Energy for getting back the ability energy on a kill. The energy is distributed to the lowest charged ability.
• Killing Tally for increased damage with kills until the weapon is stowed or reloaded.

Overflow is a great replacement for Recycled Energy, as it grants increased ammunition. Detonator Beam in the final column can help with AoE damage, alongside Jolting Feedback for applying Arc debuffs, and, occasionally, stun Overload Champions, as well.

How to get Keraunios in Destiny 2

Keraunios can be obtained from the Guardian Games 2025 activity, Rushdown. Players must go through five different bosses in the new boss rush mode, and get the weapon as a drop at the end. There are chances of other weapons dropping as well, so you must be lucky.

To further enhance your luck at getting a god roll, you can run and complete an Expert version of the Rushdown activity, as doing so will drop a double perk weapon.
