Destiny 2: Optimal Belisarius-D Rolls and How to Get Them

The Belisarius-D in Destiny 2’s Competitive Crucible presents powerful mid-range capabilities. Discover the best perk combinations for this pulse rifle.

The Belisarius-D, a robust Pulse Rifle introduced in Destiny 2’s Season of the Wish, emerges as a prominent Competitive Crucible reward. Unlike mainstream Pulse Rifle choices like the Messenger or Disparity, this weapon delivers a unique playstyle, catering to mid-range combat within Crucible engagements.

This Pulse Rifle, known for its distinct traits, offers a diverse array of perks, making it a coveted choice for both PvP and PvE enthusiasts. Let’s delve into acquiring this weapon and uncover the sought-after god rolls for effective usage.

Acquisition and God Rolls

To acquire the Belisarius-D, players must complete seven Competitive Crucible matches. The first Belisarius-D is rewarded after the seventh match, followed by the opportunity to obtain additional copies by playing a minimum of three Competitive matches weekly per character. This Crucible weapon caters to both PvP and PvE scenarios.

PvE Roll Considerations

While primarily designed for PvP, the Belisarius-D holds its ground in PvE. When used with Strand builds, a roll featuring both Slice and Hatchling perks becomes valuable. These perks synergize with Aspects and Fragments, enhancing damage output. For instance, Thread of Evolution can amplify Hatchling’s damage output. Slice provides a new method to apply the Sever debuff, reducing affected targets’ damage output by 30% (15% in PvP).

Other perks on the weapon contribute to its consistency in Crucible encounters and are serviceable in PvE but might be overshadowed by more dedicated PvE weapons.

PvP God Rolls to Pursue

In PvP, the Belisarius-D boasts various potent perk combinations. Multiple combinations offer significant advantages against Guardian opponents:

1. Eye of the Storm/Moving Target
2. Rapid Hit/Zen Moment
3. Keep Away/Kill Clip
4. Rapid Hit/Headseeker

Headseeker stands out as a top-tier perk for Pulse Rifles, ensuring consistent damage output. Hitting a body shot in the first burst elevates Precision damage in the subsequent burst, potentially enabling more two-burst eliminations.

Rapid Hit synergizes excellently with this Pulse Rifle, allowing rapid perk stacking, providing substantial Stability boosts, and improving reload speeds with consecutive headshots.

The fifth column of perks includes stock options like Short-Action Stock or Hand-Laid Stock, enhancing Handling or Stability, respectively. While all stock options have value, these selections are especially sought after by those seeking optimal stat adjustments for their weapon.
