The Unending Tempest is an SMG that drops from the Crucible, which houses the main PvP game modes inDestiny 2. Despite its origins, this offers significant value for all kinds of content, whether it be raids or the Trials of Osiris.
Submachine guns are very popular inDestiny 2for their high DPS output against PvE combatants and other Guardians, and the Unending Tempest is easily one of the best guns in its class, thanks to its stats and possible perk combinations. Here are some of the best Unending Tempest god rolls players can get for PvE and PvP.
Destiny 2 Unending Tempest God Rolls
The Unending Tempest is similar to the Shayura’s Wrath in more ways than one. Apart from sharing the same weapon model, both guns can enter auto rifle range with the right perk combos, making it incredibly deadly in the hands of a skilled shooter. While it doesn’t shred quiteas fast as the Immortal, it’s still more than capable of comfortably fighting against everything the game has to offer.
However, as a Crucible weapon, getting a god roll of this gun can be frustrating. It has 12 perks for its third and fourth-column slots, and getting a perfect 5/5 combo can take a lot of grinding. On the other hand, having these many perks to choose from also means there’s more than one god roll for players to chase after. Ideal rolls for the Unending Tempest are:
These are the top perks for the Unending Tempest, and players don’t necessarily need to get these specific combos to consider their version of the SMG a god roll. It’s hard to pin down just what exactly is the best perk combination for this weapon, as there are a lot of tried-and-true pairings available.
For PvE,Subsistence and Frenzywill be the ideal roll for a general-purpose SMG. This combo exists in other weapons like the Funnelweb, and it’s great for keeping the gun’s magazine topped off while simultaneously increasing its DPS. Meanwhile,Demolitionistwith eitherAdrenaline JunkieorHeadstoneis great for players who want tobuild into their grenades.
PvP players also have a number of perk combos to choose from.Perpetual Motion and Target Lockare generally good for the accurate skirmisher who can consistently land their hits without missing. Target Lock will shorten the weapon’s optimal TTK from 0.80s to 0.70s and extend its lethal range by a couple of meters at the very least. This isn’t the end-all, be-all for PvP rolls, but it’s definitely one of the better options.
Dynamic Sway Reduction and Tap The Triggersacrifice range for pure firing stability. This combo almost completely removes the recoil on the Unending Tempest while increasing its accuracy cone. Expect to hit shots more often with these two at the expense of having totake fights in closer ranges.
Speaking of range,Killing Wind and Fragile Focuscan bump the Unending Tempest’s range all the way up to 100, translating to an effective range of 24.7 meters when both perks are active. Having this combo means players only need one other range-boosting perk (Smallbore, Accurized Rounds, or a Range Masterwork), taking the edge off the 5/5 grind ever so slightly.
The easiest way to get a god roll Unending Tempest is to save Crucible Engrams and use them to buy Unending Tempests from Lord Shaxx. Naturally, this means players will have to play a lot of Crucible matches, and they’ll need at least one copy of the SMG before they can focus their engrams into more of them.
