Mint Retrograde god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

Rocket-Assisted Framed weapons have become the popular archetypes to use in Destiny 2 PvE. Ever since the implementation of this family in the Sidearm weapon types, they have become the primary choice in endgame activities. While it started with one specific Sidearm from Warlord's Ruin Dungeon, the archetype has now made its way into the Pulse Rifle weapon type.

Mint Retrograde is the first Rocket-Assisted Pulse Rifle with special ammo, and the results are just as broken as you would think them to be. This article lists the best perks on this new Strand Special Pulse Rifle for PvE and PvP.

Here is a list of perks recommended on the Mint Retrograde in PvE:

• Volatile Launch for increased Blast Radius at the cost of Velocity.
• High Velocity Rounds for increased projectile speed on the weapon.
• Beacon Rounds for projectiles to become homing missiles after kills.

Hatchling can be a great alternative if you are running a Strand subclass and have multiple synergies via Fragments. Slice, One for All, and Chain Reaction can be great perks in the fourth column as well.

How to get Mint Retrograde in Destiny 2

Mint Retrograde is a part of the Pinnacle Ops loot pool in Destiny 2. Complete any one of the listed activities in the Pinnacle Ops via Portal, and a loot chest inside the activity will drop the weapon, alongside armor pieces.

Since there are other gear pieces in the loot pool, the drop chance for the Pulse Rifle isn't guaranteed.
