Incisor is a new Trace Rifle in Destiny 2, tied to the Trials of Osiris game mode. Since the game doesn't have many Strand Trace Rifles, this one has a special place in many builds. Additionally, being a new weapon, players can easily acquire a curated version of it from Saint-14's inventory just by leveling up his reputation.

This article lists the best perks you can roll on the Incisor Trace Rifle for all sorts of game modes, alongside each role this weapon can play.

Disclaimer: The god rolls mentioned here are subjective and rely solely on the writer's opinion. With numerous choosable perks, a god roll on a weapon can easily vary from player to player. This article lists the best ones judging by stats and in-game meta.

  • Hammer Forged Rifling for increased Range.
