Destiny 2 Bitter Sweet god roll explained
Since heavy grenade launchers aren’t much effective in Crucible, our Bitter Sweet god roll is for PvE only.
| PERK TYPE | PERK NAME & COMBINATION |
| Barrel | Smart Drift Control: + 5 Velocity, +10 Stability, +10 Handling, +15 Recoil Direction |
| Magazine | Spike Grenades: Grenades fired from this weapon deal increased damage on direct hits. Also, increases stability. Or, High Velocity Rounds: +10 Velocity, +10 Reload Speed |
| Trait 1 | Envious Arsenal: Dealing damage with both other weapons before readying this weapon refills it from reserves. Or, Reverberation: Final blows with this weapon increase the size of its detonations for a short duration. |
| Trait 2 | Bait and Switch: Deal damage with all equipped weapons within a short time to give this weapon a damage boost. Or, Frenzy: Being in combat for an extended time increases damage, handling, and reload for this weapon until you are out of combat. |
| Masterwork | Reload Speed |
| Origin Trait | Dark Ether Reaper: Final blows with this weapon periodically spawn Dark Ether charges.Charges can be detonated early with weapons fire or by coming into contact with them. Doing so refills this weapon from reserves. |
For Barrel, there are a few good options like Quick Launch and Countermass, but Smart Drift Control stands out for slightly improving all notable stats.
For Magazine, Spike Grenades is the best option if you can hit direct shots. If not, High Velocity Rounds is a safer option as it boost the weapon’s effectiveness by improving Velocity and Reload Speed.
For main traits, the Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch combination is pretty good. With these, dealing damage with other weapons will boost Bitter Sweet’s damage and refill it from reserves.
Alternatively, you can go with Reverberation in the third column for better ads clearance. In the fourth column, Frenzy is also a decent option as it can provide damage boost, and improve reload and handling speed without any input.
Lastly, for Masterwork, Reload Speed is always the best option for Grenade Launchers, though Handling is a solid alternative, especially if you go with traits Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch.
