Today is the weekly reset in Destiny 2, so you know what that means. The Into the Light event continues, adding two more guns to the Onslaught loot pool as we head toward The Final Shape.
If you’re getting into Destiny 2 for the first time, Onslaught is the new, free-to-play game mode added with Into the Light. You and two other guardians will set up defenses, fight waves of enemies, and earn some of the most iconic weapons in Destiny 2‘s history.

And we must admit, this week’s pair is pretty spicy, albeit particularly PvE-centric (sorry to all of you PvP-only players). One is a fan-favorite that was one of Destiny 2’s earliest powerhouses before getting sunset, while the other is undoubtedly one of the best weapons the game has ever seen. Of course, we’re talking about Hammerhead and Forbearance, both farmable through Onslaught.
Hammerhead God Rolls
The first weapon we’ll cover is the Hammerhead. This Legendary Machine Gun is the first Black Armory weapon to return in Into the Light, with the other being the Blast Furnace (but more on that next week).
Hammerhead is a Void Machine Gun that dominated the Forsaken era of Destiny 2, and it’s back with a few new perks. Some of them are geared more toward ad clear, which isn’t ideal for a legendary heavy, but some of the combinations seem so fun.
In the Third Column, it can roll with Feeding Frenzy, Destabilizing Rounds, Envious Assassin, Rampage, Fourth Time’s the Charm, Rewind Rounds, and Under-Over. In the Fourth Column, options are Surrounded, High-Impact Reserves, Target Lock, Onslaught, Killing Tally, Desperate Measures, and Tap the Trigger.
PvE god rolls:
- Rampage or Rewind Rounds / Killing Tally (ad clear)
- Fourth Time’s the Charm or Envious Assassin / Target Lock (DPS)
Forbearance God Rolls
Now for the mother of all Destiny 2 weapons. The gun everyone has been waiting to get their hands on. One of the best Destiny 2 weapons of all time and an ad-clearing machine: Forbearance.
This Wave Frame Grenade Launcher used to be locked behind The Witch Queen DLC and the Vow of Disciple raid, so you were entirely out of luck if you didn’t have an active raid group. However, if you could get it, the combination of Ambitious Assassin and Chain Reaction decimated any group of enemies.
However, it is now available to everyone through Onslaught and comes with a few new perks. In the Third Column, you can get Unrelenting, Stats for All, Demolitionist, Ambitious Assassin, Surplus, Steady Hands, and Disruption Break. Fourth-column rolls include Wellspring, Golden Tricorn, One for All, Bait and Switch, Chain Reaction, Rampage, and Desperate Measures.
PvE god rolls:
- Ambitious Assassin / Chain Reaction (the classic roll)
- Demolitionist / Chain Reaction
- Disruption Break / Chain Reaction

There really isn’t a point in wasting your time with non-Chain Reaction rolls. And remember, all of these Onslaught weapons will eventually be enhancable, making these god rolls even stronger.
