Here’s how to get the Relentless pulse rifle in Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine, along with our recommended PvE and PvP god rolls.
The Rite of the Nine update is updating loot across Prophecy, Ghosts of the Deep, and Spire of the Watcher dungeons. Among the weapons making a return is Relentless, a Strand pulse rifle with a solid perk pool that’s worth checking out, especially if you’re looking for something flexible for both PvP and PvE.
Relentless is a 340 RPM Strand pulse rifle from the Prophecy dungeon. Here’s a quick overview of the weapon.
| Weapon | Type | Element | Ammo | Archetype | RPM | Source | Craftable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Relentless | Pulse Rifle |  Strand |  Primary | High-Impact | 340 | Rite of the Nine | No |
How to Get Relentless in Destiny 2
You can get Relentless by completing the Prophecy dungeon during the Rite of the Nine event. Like the previous Into The Light event, this one uses an attunement system that lets you focus specific weapons after each run. Visit the Rite of the Nine social space to attune your loot.
Each weapon also comes with a short personal quest that gives you a guaranteed drop once you clear the dungeon. This is a good way to quickly grab your first roll.
Recommended loadout tips for Prophecy:
- Use The Queenbreaker for the final boss fight
- Bring Lord of Wolves for the first boss encounter
All Rite of the Nine weapons also feature the Gravity Well origin trait, which picks up nearby ammo when you reload.
Destiny 2 Relentless PvP God Roll
While 340 RPM pulse rifles have been pushed out of the Crucible meta, this roll is still extremely lethal and feels very consistent.
Here is our recommended roll for the weapon:
| Column | Perks |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake (+30 Recoil Direction, +10 Handling) |
| Magazine | Ricochet Rounds (+5 Range, +10 Stability) |
| Trait (3rd Column) | Keep Away: Increases reload, range, and accuracy when no targets are in close proximity. |
| Trait (4th Column) | Headseeker: Body shots landed with this weapon increase precision damage and aim assist for a short time. Body shots landed while the perk is active refresh the time. |
| Origin Trait | Crossing Over: This weapon has increased range and handling for the top half of the magazine, while rounds from the bottom half of the magazine deal increased damage. |
| Masterwork | Range (+10 Range) |
| Weapon Mod | Ballistics (+6 Range, +6 Stability) |
Destiny 2 Relentless PvE God Roll
In PvE, Relentless is a nice pulse rifle for taking care of low-tier enemies. While not having any meta damage perks to deal with higher-tier enemies, the combination of Firefly and Hatchling makes quick work of any fodder that comes your way.
Here is our recommended roll for the weapon:
| Column | Perks |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel (+15 Handling, +5 Stability) |
| Magazine | Appended Mag: Increases magazine size. |
| Trait (3rd Column) | Firefly: Precision kills with this weapon increase reload speed and cause the target to explode, dealing Solar damage to nearby enemies. |
| Trait (4th Column) | Hatchling: Precision final blows or rapidly defeating targets with this weapon spawns a Threadling at the target’s location. |
| Origin Trait | Gravity Well: Reloading this weapon automatically gathers nearby ammo. |
| Masterwork | Handling (+10 Handling) |
| Weapon Mod | Backup Mag: Increases magazine. |
