The Destiny 2 Bygones Pulse Rifle is back in Revenant with fresh perks, and you can get it by playing Gambit or focusing Gambit Engrams with Drifter. It’s a very easy-to-use and versatile Pulse Rifle, with solid stats, a great range of perks, and lots of possible combinations, many of which are extremely useful for bolstering the weapon’s stats for the Crucible. However, it’s also one of the few weapons inDestiny 2that can get Firefly, which is an excellent PVE perk and well worth chasing. Here are the Destiny 2 Bygones god rolls I recommend pursuing if you’re after a solid Pulse Rifle.

The overall power of Bygones means it’s an effective, medium-range, kinetic weapon for any loadout, but with Firefly being the standout PVE perk, this god roll is going to almost entirely revolve around that perk:

With Firefly, every precision kill you get using Bygones causes the enemy to explode with Solar damage, helping you clear out groups of weaker enemies with ease. Since you can get bursts of kills in this way, Demolitionist is a natural pairing, letting you recharge your grenade very quickly. Overall, I think this roll will work nicely in a Solar or Prismatic build, paired with a good close-range special weapon, such as theDestiny 2 Aberrant Actionrocket sidearm or even a Shotgun or Fusion Rifle.

With 12 perks in both trait columns, Bygones has many possible perk combinations that are effective in PVP. That makes getting your ideal roll difficult, but it means getting something at least quite good won’t be that hard. Here are the perks I recommend you look for on your own Bygones:

I’ve picked Under Pressure and Closing Time as it’s a combination that offers nice benefits in any gunfight, but you might also want to considerTo The PainandEye Of The StormorOutlawandDesperadoas other synergistic perk combinations. Additionally, perks likeKeep Away,Zen Moment,Rangefinder,Perpetual Motion,Kill Clip, andHeadseekerare great picks for the Crucible, so it’s quite hard to go wrong here.© GamesRadar+.
