Hello Guardians,
Well it has been one hell of a ride. As I stated a month or so ago. This is the Final Armsday post.
D2 is around the corner, & at this present point in time I don’t plan to purchase it.
Haunter & I need a small break so we’re taking August off.
I didn’t pick up any extra rolls due to the Beta eating up my Destiny time.
Look for my Beta thoughts in the comments.
So…onto the rolls!

[b][u]Disclaimers:[/u][/b]
All recommendations no matter how good or bad are still pure opinion.
My recommendations are 100% for PVE & strive for Static Performance vs Situational Performance.
[b][u]God Rolls[/u][/b]
There are 2 types of God Rolls.
Community = Popular Opinion/Suggestion.
Personal = A roll that perfectly fits/enhances [u]YOUR[/u] individual playstyle.

I will [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] be making PVP recommendations.
Haunter will be covering PVP rolls.

Roll 1:
Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Truesight
Zen Moment
SPS/Reinforced Barrel
Firefly/Surrounded
Roll 2:
Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Truesight
AoO
Extended Mag/Injection Mold
Outlaw/Surrounded
Roll 3:
Fastdraw/Steadyhand/Sureshot
Zen Moment
Quickdraw/Reinforced Barrel
Firefly/Surrounded
Recommendation: Roll 3
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
Roll 1 & 3 are the exact same gun, Roll 3 has the benefit of Sureshot IS however. Sureshot in D1 is the BEST HC sight. Zen Moment won’t be very noticeable, but Reinforced Barrel reduces bloom, extends distance, & Firefly will make every headshot the 4th of July.
I would wait till next week. Feel free to dig up the older Armsday posts to know some good rolls when you see them.
IE: Sureshot, AoO, Outlaw, Rifled/Reinforced Barrel
[b][i][u]Thesan FR4[/u][/i][/b]
Roll 1:
Void
Spark/Torch
Grenadier
Enhanced Battery/HLS
Underdog/Exhumed
Roll 2:
Arc
Candle/Torch
Grenadier
Skip Rounds/HLS
Unflinching/EotS
Roll 3:
Arc
Spark/Torch
AoO
Skip Rounds/Oiled Frame
Underdog/Exhumed
Recommendation: Roll 1
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem or Save (Only you want a God Roll before D2 drops)
Roll 1 is sporting the Torch (the best Omolon Sight), Grenadier for a guaranteed Grenade cooldown reduction on every kill, & HLS to max stability, & Surrounded for a buff should you be in a tight spot.
Redeem it if you’re done waiting for a god roll (Torch, Hot Swap, HLS or Braced Frame, Rangefinder)
[b][u]Häkke[/u][/b]
[i]“Hello Guardians, Mr. Häkke here.
This special Armsday us at Häkke wish to thank you, yes, YOU! For your patronage, for not informing the Vanguard about Häkke’s tendency to give small children live firearms, & for literally proving that Häkke weapons are the strongest weapons on the market.
Us at Häkke plan to keep making our weapons even stronger, so they can see you through the darkest of times.
Häkke! Just one round, takes em down!”[/i]
[b][i][u]Judith-D[/u][/i][/b]
Roll 1:
Fastdraw/Sureshot
Surrounded
Feeding Frenzy
Hand Loaded/EXR/Reinforced Barrel
Roll 2:
Fastdraw/Steadyhand
Hot Swap
Final Round
Hand Loaded/EXR/Reinforced Barrel
Roll 3:
Fastdraw/Sureshot
AoO
Rangefinder
Hand Loaded/APR/Smallbore
Recommendation: None
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
The Judith is moody, you need range + reload for it to be viable.
God Roll: Sureshot/Steadyhand, Crowd Control, Feeding Frenzy (Outlaw can substitute but is outclassed), Reinforced Barrel
The Aerikx Special:Sureshot/Steadyhand, AoO, Feeding Frenzy, Reinforced Barrel
[b][i][u]Jingukogo-D[/u][/i][/b]
Roll 1:
Arc
Smooth Ballistics/Linear Compensator
Crowd Control
Feeding Frenzy
Flared Magwell/Hand Loaded/Rifled Barrel
Roll 2:
Arc
CQB Ballistics/Aggressive Ballistics
Surrounded
Full Auto
Flared Magwell/Hand Loaded/HLS
Roll 3:
Solar
Smooth Ballistics/Accurized Ballistics
Crowd Control
Kneepads
Flared Magwell/Perfect Balance/HLS
Recommendation: Roll 1
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem
Roll 1 is a God Roll. Crowd Control + Feeding Frenzy will allow you tear through enemies.
With only 3 in the mag your reloads will be very short. Flared Magwell if you just want a passive Reload boost in addition to Feeding Frenzy, or use Hand Loaded for the added range.
This is a hell of a roll.
Alternate God Roll: Final Round, Feeding Frenzy (Spray & Play), Flared Magwell (Hand Loaded)

[i]”Stylish. Sexy. Lit. Loyal. Forever. At. Your. Side. Fam. SUROS.”[/i]
[b][i][u]PDX-45[/u][/i][/b]
Roll 1:
SLO-12/SPO-26/SPO-37
Fitted Stock/Oiled Frame
Private Eye
Lightweight/Smallbore
Roll 2:
SLO-12/SPO-26/SRO-41
Perfect Balance/Appended Magazine
Hip Fire
SPS/Reinforced Barrel
Roll 3:
SLO-12/SPO-28/SPO-37
Perfect Balance/Oiled Frame
Rodeo
Lightweight/Reinforced Barrel
Recommendation: Roll 1
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Save
SO I recommended Roll 1 because it has Fitted Stock + Smallbore which will give you a very stable PDX-45. Private Eye is a waste, but if you wanted a STURDY PDX, this is a good one.
The only PDX worth waiting on is one with: SPO-28, Perfect Balance, Counterbalance, Rifled Barrel (This is more of a PVP gun. Even in PVE the PVP God Roll is king. Yes I have one.)
[b][i][u]JLB-47[/u][/i][/b]
Roll 1:
Arc
Warhead Verniers/Linear Compensator/Countermass
SPS/Speed Reload
Unflinching
Javelin/Lightweight
Roll 2:
Arc
Warhead Verniers/SDC/Countermass
Heavy Payload/Flared Magwell
Tracking
Perfect Balance/Snapshot
Roll 3:
Solar
Confined Launch/Linear Compensator/Hard launch
SPS/Speed Reload
Who’s Next
Javelin/Quickdraw
Recommendation: Roll 2
Redeem/Save/Reorder: Redeem
It has been a hell of a long time since we got a near God Roll like Roll 2.
Warhead Verniers (Best RL sight), Heavy Payload (for nigh Maxed Blast Radius), Tracking (To make whatever you aim at meet it’s god), & Snapshot for speedy aiming. If only Snapshot was Javelin…
Do not pass up this Roll. It rivals the Gjallarhorn to be honest.

Damn. You’d think the Last Armsday would be full of God Rolls. Well we’re not at Beta disappointment levels at least.
That said,
Thank you. Everyone. This Armsday blog/post was started by XB1 player: Dannycteris
His knowledge & desire to share opinions & have open discussions on Rolls is what got me to re-evaluate my weaponry & filled me with excitement for Armsday.
One day he stopped posting, so I took the reigns hoping it was temporary. However, I did receive his blessing to be the New Armsday Guru. After that you all embraced me & Armsday became a weekday to look forward to again.
Soon, Haunter requested to join & be the PVP Armsday Guru as I avoid PVP like Cosmo avoids legitimate issues/topics.
He is on XB1 & I am on PS4, yet I honestly consider Haunter to be one of my Best & closest friends here on Bnet, alongside Kroppin (Who retired due to Personal Reasons. And BTW Kroppin is a guy. Stop hitting on him. LMAO!), ABefuddledLion (We had many Pun Wars), & many others whom I met from my 1 appearance on the dreaded (It’s not that bad folks.) Destiny Truthcast.
When my Grandmother passed, I received an enormous amount of support. You all legitimately helped me pull through that. In RL I am a Survivor of Suicide so her passing was extremely hard on me as I have lived with her most of my life. She raised me, then once I got older I took care of her.
Her passing has shaken up my world & I was in a bad place. But all of you reached into the darkness I was drowning in & pulled me out into the light. You all are true Guardians & are heroes to me for that.
Love or Hate D2, I hope you all have fun & have many fun adventures ahead.
Doing this Armsday post was an honor. I thank all of you for harassing Cosmo, Deej, & Bungie to have me on Community Spotlight (I’m not a big streamer though…so it was unlikely), petitioning to have the future Destiny Gunsmith named after me, & for playing Destiny with me.
I enjoyed meeting many of you in game, teaching you Rolls, Perk Synergy, & just having a good time.
I may one day comeback to Destiny in D3 or D2’s Taken King like Expansion (The expansion that fixes everything). But I’ll be a normal player when that happens.
Haunter, Thank You for being the voice of PVP. Thank you for keeping me in check, thank you for holding the fort when I was MIA.
Kroppin, Thank You for being the voice of PVE while I was MIA, Thank You for the bonus orders, Thank You for the Adventures in Game.
Dannycteris, Thank You for starting this, for teaching me, inspiring me, & for allowing me to be your successor.
Everyone else, Thank You for the fun discussions, the arguments, the salt, the laughs, the support.
Aerikx out! Be Safe! Fight Hard! There will always be Light in the World as long as you all exist!
Guns Up Guardians!!
