The Theodolite is Bungie's first attempt at making an Energy version of one of the most popular Destiny 2 weapons, The Mountaintop. Ever since the latter's return, the Micro Missile Framed gear piece has been used more for traversing through jumping puzzles rather than damaging enemies.

The Theodolite comes with the same frame but is capable of dealing significant damage, while also helping players traverse between point A and B much faster.

This article lists the best perks on the new Grenade Launcher, Theodolite, for PvE and PvP.

There's a new perk on this weapon, called Reaper's Tithe, which grants a damage buff when multiple enemies are killed at the same time. Eddy Current can be a great replacement in the third column for reload speed, while Rolling Storm can be used for extra damage with maximum Bolt Charge stacks.

However, players can get a guaranteed drop when the Theodolite is listed as a featured drop from one of the Pinnacle Ops activities. The featured weapon resets daily. Keep an eye on the activities and run it to get the weapon after defeating the final boss.
