The Mountaintop has been Destiny 2's poster child since its release in Year 2. However, Bungie decided to vault this weapon alongside other fan-favorite gear pieces, leaving behind only shells of what used to be every Guardians' backbone in a lot of activities. More than four years later, the community finally has their favorite Grenade Launcher back, along with a few tweaks to the archetype and perk pools.

This article focuses on the Mountaintop god roll guide for Destiny 2 PvE and PvP. Note that the "Micro-missile" perk has been converted to an archetype for this weapon, with other perks filling the third and fourth columns.

How to get The Mountaintop in Destiny 2 Into the Light?

The Mountaintop is exclusive to the Brave arsenal and the "Onslaught" loot pool. You can accomplish the quest related to the weapon for a curated version and follow the steps until it asks you to attune to Shaxx's hologram in the Hall of Champions. Complete the quest to get the curated version and add The Mountaintop to the loot pool of Onslaught.

Completing waves in the Onslaught and defeating a boss at the end of every 10 waves will now have a chance to drop The Mountaintop, alongside other Brave weapons.
