Here’s how to get the Terminus Horizon machine gun in Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine, along with our recommended PvE and PvP god rolls.
With the Rite of the Nine event in full swing, loot from three dungeons, Prophecy, Ghosts of the Deep, and Spire of the Watcher, has been refreshed. One of the standout returning weapons is the Terminus Horizon, and it’s back with some excellent new perk options.
Terminus Horizon is a 360 RPM Arc machine gun from the Spire of the Watcher Dungeon. This one has solid rolls for both Crucible and endgame PvE.

How to Get Terminus Horizon in Destiny 2
You can get Terminus Horizon by completing the Spire of the Watcher dungeon during the Rite of the Nine event. Dungeon loot can be focused (attuned) at the Emissary in the event’s social space, similar to how it worked during Into the Light.
Each weapon also has a small quest that rewards one guaranteed drop after finishing the dungeon.
Recommended loadout tips for Spire of the Watcher:
- Use Lord of Wolves with a machine gun for the opening encounters
- Bring The Queenbreaker for the Harpy boss
- Sleeper Simulant is solid for the final fight
All weapons in the event also feature the Gravity Well origin trait, which automatically picks up nearby ammo after you reload.
Destiny 2 Terminus Horizon PvP God Roll
While 450 RPM machine guns have dominated PvP for a very long time, 360s are still extremely powerful choices. Terminus Horizon brings a very solid stat spread and a decent selection of perks.
Here is our recommended roll for the weapon:
| Column | Perks |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Fluted Barrel (+15 Handling, +5 Stability) |
| Magazine | Ricochet Rounds (+5 Range, +10 Stability) |
| Trait (3rd Column) | Dragonfly: Precision kills create an elemental damage explosion. |
| Trait (4th Column) | Precision Instrument: Dealing sustained damage increases precision damage. |

| Masterwork | Handling (+10 Handling) |
| Weapon Mod | Quick Access Sling: Increases this weapon’s ready and stow speed. |
Destiny 2 Terminus Horizon PvE God Roll
In PvE, High-Impact Frame machine guns are extremely ammo efficient when it comes to taking out hordes of low-tier enemies, so that’s what we’re building into with this roll on Terminus Horizon.
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) | Reconstruction: This weapon slowly reloads itself over time, up to double capacity. (Also good: Dragonfly) |
| Trait (4th Column) | Killing Tally: Kills increase this weapon’s damage until it is stowed or reloaded. (Also good: Jolting Feedback) |
