Destiny 2 kicks off its summer event, Solstice, with a bang. Solstice 2024 has reprised its arsenal of weapon rewards and one of the hottest picks is the polished Compass Rose. With a perk pool that will excite Shotgun fans, Compass Rose looks to challenge the top brass of Precision Frame Shotguns and is a must-have PvE and PvP god roll chase during this event.

How to get Compass Rose

Compass Rose is awarded as a random drop from the Bonfire Bash game mode during the Solstice event. You can receive multiple copies following a successful run. You have until August 27 to grab as many of these god rolls as you can before Solstice ends.

Barrel Smallbore (Stability +7, Range +7)
Magazine Accurized Rounds (Range +10)
Perk 1 Slickdraw (Passively grants: Handling +100, 0.95x ready animation duration multiplier, -55 percent Auto Aim Cone size (No effect on Reticle Stickiness)
Perk 2 Opening Shot (Aim Assist +20, Range +25, -5 percent accuracy cone, -10 percent accuracy cone growth)
Origin Trait Nadir Focus (Sustained fire increases accuracy and Range)
Masterwork Range (+10 when fully masterworked)
Mod Quick Access Sling (Decreases ready and stow animation by 10 percent)

This Compass Rose god roll may carry some perks from left-field but that’s what makes this god roll so spicy when it comes together. First, look to add Smallbore with its main focus being on Range. Complement this with Accurized Rounds in the Magazine as both come together to give a massive +25 to the Range stat meaning any opponent within its optimal Range will easily go down from a single blast.

For the first perk, go with Slickdraw. This perk gives a huge advantage by awarding a constant +100 to the Handling and the negatives aren’t a major factor due to the one-shot-kill nature of a Shotgun. Round this PvP god roll off with Opening Shot to boost Aim Assist. This maxes out Range and adds accuracy bonuses to ensure every shot lands.

PvE - Compass Rose god roll

PvP isn’t the only place where Compass Rose shines, this PvE god roll will pack some serious punch.
