Zealous Ideal is a weapon many Guardians swear by in Destiny 2, especially with the Renegades expansion paving the way. This auto rifle packs a punch—especially when you chase after the perfect god roll. It’s a trusty sidekick that can enhance your aim better than a Stormtrooper’s blaster. But, of course, those marksmen aren’t known for their precision!
This Solar auto rifle fires at 450 rpm and introduces a unique heat system, allowing you to build up heat instead of relying on traditional magazine sizes. Awesome, right? You can vent that heat for a quick recovery, and even enjoy a partial reload. Want something to work hand in hand with your Praxic Blade? Zealous Ideal might be what you’re after. And if not, there’s always Uncivil Discourse to fall back on. Let’s dive into the best god rolls for Zealous Ideal in Destiny 2.
Zealous Ideal PvE god roll in Destiny 2
As of now, while we lack all the parts for Zealous Ideal, let’s cover the available perks and how they enhance this weapon. Trust us; the data comes from content creator Aztecross, with our verdict to boot.
- Barrel: Polygonal Rifling
- Magazine: Ionized Heatsink or Light Heatsink
- First perk: Heal Clip or Attrition Orbs
- Second perk: Incandescent, Burning Ambition, or One For All
Your options for Zealous Ideal are solid but straightforward. Nothing too out there for this auto rifle, but it does give you reliable picks for various activities.
For the first perk, we suggest Heal Clip or Attrition Orbs. Even if primaries feel underwhelming in the Renegades sandbox, these perks can fuel your builds nicely. You’re not sacrificing massive damage boosts either, especially for PvE content.
Attrition Orbs can serve as a power source for your mods and stats, generating orbs of power for a steady supply of ability energy, armor charge, subclass verbs, and even damage reduction. Heal Clip offers a bit of sustain and can trigger keywords (like with Ember of Benevolence).
On the second perk front, Incandescent and Burning Ambition are your go-to choices for applying Scorch to enemies. This triggers amazing synergies, especially if you’re going flame-based. But if raw damage is what you crave, then One For All delivers a sweet damage boost with minimal hassle.
Even though Zealous Ideal doesn’t heat up significantly, if you keep it in the red zone, Thermal Atomization boosts damage—though not as intensely as One For All does. And while Onslaught hasn’t received the Rampage treatment yet, it lets you deal more damage while active.
On to parts—you can’t go wrong with Polygonal Rifling. It helps maintain your aim while beating out the Arrowhead Brake in our tests. Both Ionized and Light Heatsink complement this weapon since it enjoys generous heat buildup.
