Destiny 2 Episode Echo Act 3 has brought the wave-frame grenade launcher, Martyrs Retribution, which can now roll with some of the best perk combinations in the game like Heal Clip and Incandescent.  

Martyrs Retribution is not a craftable weapon, but you can enhance its main perks. If you want to obtain this weapon’s most powerful version, you are in the right place.

This ONE Esports guide explains Martyrs Retribution god roll in Destiny 2.

Since wave-frame grenade launchers are not necessarily useful in PvP, our Martyrs Retribution god roll is focused on the game’s PvE side of things. 

PERK TYPEPERK NAME & DESCRIPTION 
Barrel Volatile Launch: +15 Blast Radius, -5 Velocity, -5 Handling
Magazine High Velocity Rounds: +10 Velocity, +10 Reload Speed
Trait 1 Heal Clip: Reloading shortly after dealing a final blow grants Cure to you and your nearby allies.
Trait 2Incandescent: Defeating a target spreads scorch to those nearby.More powerful combatants and opposing Guardians cause scorch in a larger radius.Or, 
Kill Clip: Reloading after a kill grants increased damage.
Masterwork Blast Radius/Reload Speed
Origin Trait Cast No Shadows: Dealing melee damage increases this weapon’s handling and loads a small amount of ammo from reserves. 

For wave-frame grenade launchers, Blast Radius is the most important stat, as having more Blast Radius will allow you to hit more nearby enemies. Hence, we recommend Volatile Launch for Barrel, as it will get you a decent boost to Blast Radius.

Velocity is a vital attribute for any grenade launcher, as better velocity would increase the chance of hitting the enemies. Hence, we recommend High Velocity Rounds for Magazine. 

As mentioned previously, Heal Clip and Incandescent are the best perk combinations for a solar weapon, and as you can get this combination for Martyrs Retribution, we recommend these for third and fourth-column perks.

In case you missed our Aberrant Action god roll, we recommended this perk combination for that weapon as well. It’s the god roll we used to clear out the new Encore Exotic mission and unlock Choir of One exotic weapon. 

Martyrs Retribution benefits more by having Heal Clip and Incandescent because, in this case, you will reload after every round, which means you will heal yourself and your allies after every round you shoot.

Furthermore, it’s easy to hit final blows with a wave-frame weapon, so you will have more chances of triggering Heal Clip. 

Incandescent is one of the most powerful solar ability perks in Destiny 2 right now, and you can use this weapon to easily spread scorch to nearby enemies and deal damage over time. 

You can also swap Kill Clip with Incandescent in the fourth column perk. It’s a solid alternative that can boost weapon damage. 

Since you can trigger Heal Clip and Kill Clip simultaneously, this perk combination is quite easy to use effectively.
