Heretics Fervor is a new Aggressive Frame rocket launcher introduced in Destiny 2 Revenant Act 3. It’s a Stasis RL, a first of its kind since Ghost of the Deep Dungeon’s Cold Comfort. 

As such, this ONE Esports guide explains the Destiny 2 Heretics Fervor god roll for both PvP and PvE activities. 

Like other new Stasis weapons in Episode Revenant, Heretic’s Fervor can drop with Stasis-only perks like Rimesteale and Chill Clip. 

However, Heretic’s Fervor god roll perk combinations are subclass-independent, making this an easy-to-pick Aggressive-Frame rocket launcher in Destiny 2.

Speaking of which, Linear Compensator for Barrel will also improve this weapon’s Blast Radius, thus allowing you to deal more damage overall. 

Alternatively, if you’re a solo player, you could go with Lone Wolf in the third column. Harmony in the fourth column is also a decent choice for boosting weapon damage.
