Destiny 2: How to Obtain Conspiracy Honed God Rolls and Best Tips

Conspiracy Honed brings some serious firepower to the table in Destiny 2‘s Equilibrium dungeon. This 140rpm heat-based sniper rifle can double up on damage perks, which makes it a tempting option for anyone hunting for an edge in battle.

But that firepower doesn’t come without its quirks. Conspiracy Honed heats up quite quickly, limiting you to about three or four shots before you need to vent, and that’s where the fun begins.

  • First perk: Vorpal Weapon (Honorable mention: Cooling Baubles)
  • Second perk: Bait and Switch (Honorable mention: Firing Line)
  • Recommended mod: Enhanced Heat Generation (reduces heat build-up)

Imagine putting the best damage perks together on one weapon. That’s what Conspiracy Honed offers with this pairing of perks. For the quickest and most effective use, stick with Vorpal Weapon and Bait and Switch to maximize your damage output.

But remember, this sniper rifle can overheat fast. After three shots, be ready to vent it. Once you do, quickly tap your reload button as close to the marking on your reticle as possible.

Timing your reload can grant you five seconds of reduced heat generation, letting you fire more shots without risking an overheat. Getting that right is key to mastering this sniper. Our recommended build features the Enhanced Heat Generated mod to keep you firing.

With Vorpal Weapon, you get a 15-percent damage bonus for special-ammo weapons, plus additional buffs. If you’re rolling with enough orbs of power or have a team of Guardians using Supers, Cooling Baubles can also work wonders.

For your second perk, Bait and Switch deals more damage in solo situations compared to Firing Line. This makes Bait and Switch the obvious choice for a god roll, while Firing Line serves as a decent backup for those needing versatility.
