Destiny 2 Undercurrent god roll – Best perks and attachments

With the second perk on this build, Undercurrent is surprisingly apt.

Each week in Destiny 2 brings a new Nightfall mission and a weapon to grind the god roll for. This is the go-to for most endgame players as you get access to some very strong Adept weapons sporting some fantastic perks.

One such weapon has a unique god roll thanks to its archetype, and it only comes around ever so often. Here’s the god roll for the Undercurrent grenade launcher in Destiny 2.

The best perks and attachments for the Undercurrent in Destiny 2

The Undercurrent is part of the Wave Frame archetype of grenade launchers, which means the grenades it shoots send out a wave when they hit the ground. This damages all enemies in a line and makes the weapon great for ad clear. However, this also means the iconic build of running Disorienting Grenades, Auto-Loading Holster, and Vorpal Weapon doesn’t work. However, the following build does nicely:

  • Launcher Barrel: Quick Launch
  • Magazine: High-Velocity Rounds
  • Perk 1: Demolitionist
  • Perk 2: Voltshot

Quick Launch lets you get that shot out from the Undercurrent much faster, giving better weapon ready speed and projectile speed for a good combination. High-Velocity Rounds expands on that, giving you an even faster reload and projectile speed for follow-up shots. Demolitionist makes for a great flow between regenerating your grenade charge, throwing it out, and then repeating the process with a reloaded grenade launcher. Finally, there’s Voltshot, which seriously improves the ad clear potential through jolt.

If running this with a grenade build isn’t your forte, then Ambitious Assassin is a great alternative perk, provided you can get several kills with one grenade. You could also run Lead from Gold to seriously improve your ammo economy.
