Every Destiny player and their Ghost know about the amazing Hung Jury that Dead Orbit was selling. But those days are long gone. Now we’re all about the Hung Jury SR4 god roll in Destiny 2, specifically one for PVE and one for PVP. This weapon has now been brought back four times, three times in Nightfalls and now as a drop from Onslaught thanks to Into the Light.
A Hung Jury SR4 god roll for PvP from Onslaught could either look exactly like one you’ve already got or slightly different, depending on your playstyle. It might also just be a good opportunity to get a different version without having to slog through a Grandmaster Nightfall.
| Hung Jury SR4 (Brave Arsenal) god roll - PvP | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake (Recoil +10, Handling +10) |
| Magazine | Steady Rounds (Stability +15, Range -5, Airborne Effectiveness +7) |
| Perk 1 | No Distractions (Aiming this weapon for a short duration reduces flinch) |
| Perk 2 | Box Breathing (Aiming this weapon for a short period without firing grants bonus range and precision damage that resets after firing or exiting zoom) |
| Origin Trait | Indomitability (Final blows grant grenade energy when playing with a Light subclass or melee energy when playing a Darkness subclass) |
| Masterwork | Handling |
| Mod | Radar Tuner (Radar immediately returns when you stop aiming down sights) |
Straight away, No Distractions and Box Breathing make perfect sense together like they do on the Succession god roll. By the time Box Breathing activates, No Distractions is on, which helps you nail that powered-up first shot.
Enlightened Action might be a perk you want to investigate alongside Explosive Payload or Firefly. When scoring hits, this increases the weapon’s handling and reload speed, ensuring you can get back to fighting even after a lengthy brawl. Explosive Payload remains a great option, as it can sometimes score you a kill if an enemy is waiting just around a corner. Firefly is an obvious winner as it can do the same thing, just with a bigger explosion, though it does require a precision kill.
Though not commonly seen in PVP, a god roll Hung Jury SR4 can put in a shift. To start with, its Recoil Direction will need to be reined in with Arrowhead Brake while Flared Magwell boosts the Reload Speed and Stability. Those who like jumping and shooting may prefer Steady Rounds.
| Hung Jury SR4 - PvP | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake (Recoil +10, Handling +10) |
| Magazine | Flared Magwell (Reload Speed +15, Stability +5) |
| Perk 1 | No Distractions (Aiming this weapon for a short duration reduces flinch) |
| Perk 2 | Firefly (Precision kills with this weapon increase reload speed and cause the target to explode, dealing Solar damage to nearby enemies) |
| Origin Trait | Vanguard's Vindication (Final blows with this weapon grant a small amount of health) |
| Masterwork | Handling |
| Mod | Radar Tuner (Radar immediately returns when you stop aiming down sights) |
For the perks, No Distractions will make you a menace to snipers and others when duelling at long ranges. You might also enjoy Subsistence to reduce the need to reload mid engagement. The last perk should likely be Firefly for the sole reason that it’s great at netting you bonus kills. Get a precision defeat and laugh as the explosion takes out their friend that was hiding.
There are, of course, some other perks that may work well in PVP depending on your playstyle. Adagio offers a great bump in damage but only after you get a kill. Frenzy is also powerful, but it requires being in combat for several seconds.
As for the mods to use, if you are going the No Distractions route, having your radar back quickly after hardscoping a lane is important. For this reason, use Radar Tuner. Radar Booster is neat if you want to check your surroundings before laning.
Hung Jury SR4 has seen numerous iterations in Destiny 2 and the latest god roll from Onslaught shakes up the perks once more. There are a few god roll options here for PvE and each one is going to let you focus on dealing damage to bosses while still ensuring you can add-clear.
| Hung Jury SR4 (Brave Arsenal) god roll - PvE | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake (Recoil +25, Handling +10) |
| Magazine | Appended Mag (Magazine +2) |
| Perk 1 | Rewind Rounds (When this weapon's magazine is empty, it refills from reserves based on the number of hits) |
| Perk 2 | Precision Instrument (Dealing sustained damage increases precision damage) |
| Origin Trait | Indomitability (Final blows grant grenade energy when playing with a Light subclass or melee energy when playing a Darkness subclass) |
| Masterwork | Stability |
| Mod | Major Spec |
To start off, Rewind Rounds and Precision Instrument work perfectly together. You’ll be able to keep the damage increase from Precision Instrument going for a long time while Rewind Rounds constantly refills your magazine.
Alternatively, you can go for two damage perks. Look for Kinetic Tremors and pair it with One for All, Firefly, Precision Instrument, or Desperate Measures. There are a couple of neat options here.
In saying this, you’re only likely going to be using Hung Jury SR4 if you run out of Special or Power ammo for your other weapons. To take that a step further, you’re likely not using a Scout Rifle to clear enemies in PvE, that job is for something like CALUS Mini-Tool. However, it’s always useful to have one in your pocket in case a seasonal artifact only provides Scout mods.
There are a couple of great options when it comes to a Hung Jury SR4 god roll for PVE. As above, the Barrel should be Arrowhead Brake for the Recoil Direction and Handling boost and Flared Magwell for more Reload Speed and Stability. If you need even more Stability, look for Steady Rounds.
| Hung Jury SR4 - PvE | |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Arrowhead Brake (Recoil +10, Handling +10) |
| Magazine | Flared Magwell (Stability +5, Reload Speed +15) |
| Perk 1 | Rapid Hit (Rapid precision hits temporarily increase the stability and reload speed) |
| Perk 2 | Kinetic Tremors (Sustained kinetic damage to a target emits a shockwave that damages any nearby targets) |
| Origin Trait | Vanguard's Vindication (Final blows with this weapon grant a small amount of health) |
| Masterwork | Reload Speed |
| Mod | Minor Spec |
However, the desire for a faster Reload Speed is thanks to Kinetic Tremors. This perk emits three shockwaves that damage nearby enemies after sustained kinetic damage. You’ll need to land several hits to proc this, so minimizing downtime between shooting should be the focus of the god roll.
To help reduce the time it takes to reload, Rapid Hit should be sought. This increases Reload Speed and Stability for each rapid precision hit up to a cap. Get a bunch of precision hits, increase your reload speed, reload quickly thanks to the perks and Masterwork, and enjoy the bonus damage of Kinetic Tremors throughout.
For the mod, use whatever feels good to you. Those with an Adept version may like stat boosts but Minor Spec is always a winner. Might even be worth using Major Spec to chip away at those tougher foes while you close the distance for a Finisher.
As an aside, Shoot to Loot is another perk you should keep your eye on. This thing will help keep your ammo reserves topped up without the need to run around the battlefield, which can be deadly in endgame content. Additionally, future seasons will allow Shoot to Loot to collect Orbs of Power.
A Hung Jury SR4 god roll is going to be as fun in Destiny 2 as it was in the first game almost a decade ago. Whether you’re stomping in endgame PVE or crushing it in Trials, there’s hopefully a god roll that suits your needs and playstyle. Read our Destiny 2 guide for more weapon god rolls.
