Destiny 2is a constantly evolving game. With new seasonsintroducing new weapons, and new raids introducing new mechanics, the sandbox thatDestiny 2maintains is always changing. That being said, the top DPS weapon always changes from season to season and this season Linear Fusions Rifles are the DPS kings.
On top of that, Stormchaser, the newest Linear Fusion Rifle added with Season of the Haunted has joined the ranks as one of the highest DPS weapons ever to exist withinDestiny 2.

What is Stormchaser?
Stormchaser is the newest Linear Fusion Rifle introduced with Season of the Haunted. The fabled weapon drops from the second and final encounter of the newest dungeon Duality which, unfortunately, can only be run withthe Dungeon Pass. Stormchaser is a new archetype of Linear Fusion Rifle, that being of the Aggressive Frame archetype. What makes Stormchaser unique is that, unlike most Linear Fusion Rifles, Stormchaser fires in a 3 round burst, which, when put together, equates to some of the highest damage ever seen inDestiny 2.
How to obtain Stormchaser?
Stormchaser requires access to the Duality dungeon to farm. Duality is the most recent dungeon to be released inDestiny 2, andDuality’s power requirement is quite high. The dungeon recommends 1,550 Power to start off with, but the second and final encounter ramps the power of enemies up by 10 per encounter. This means that in order to be able to obtain Stormchaser, having a character of 1,560+ power is recommended.

It’s worth noting that the final encounter, Caiatl, can be faster to complete depending on the player’s ability to deal DPS. Caiatl’s DPS phase is much shorter, but easier to reach and a coordinated fireteam can one/ two-phase her. However, Caiatl’s loot pool is a bit more diluted than Vault so the chances of getting Stormchaser to drop are lower.
What is the God Roll for Stormchaser?
One of the best aspects of Stormchaser is the perks it can roll with. Stormchaser has many different rolls that can all be considered very good depending on the situation. This minimizes the number of runs needed before finding a roll that players will be satisfied with. Some recommendations for Stormchaser god rolls are as follows:
It’s definitely worthwhile having both if possible, as different rolls can be used for different scenarios. However, it’s important to note that they aren’t mandatory, as, in most situations, Stormchaser with any good roll is good enough.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
