Forthcoming Deviance god roll - Destiny 2
This PvE and PvP god roll Glaive excels in its niche within the sandbox.
Salvation’s Edge pits Guardians against humanity's greatest threat, The Witness, and as a reward for taking on this nearly indestructible enemy, Guardians can be rewarded with some top-tier loot. Forthcoming Deviance is a powerful Glaive that can seemingly go under the radar. Holding some unique perk combinations, Forthcoming Deviance can be a great pull from this raid and these PvE and PvP god rolls showcase that fact.
How to get Forthcoming Deviance
Forthcoming Deviance can be found in the second and third encounter in The Final Shape raid, Salvation’s Edge. Once picked up, it can be focused using Spoils of Conquest using the chest after a successful raid clear or has a drop chance from either secret chest found in the traversal sections of Salvation’s Edge. Get five with Deepsight Resonance and you can then craft it at the Enclave.
PvE - Forthcoming Deviance god roll
The expected focus with a Glaive is the melee attack but on this Rapid-Fire there are opportunities to utilize the melee, block, and projectile together and this god roll enhances that to great effect.
| Forthcoming Deviance god roll - PvE | |
|---|---|
| Haft | Tempered Truss Rod (Handling +15, Reload Speed -5, Range -5) |
| Magazine | Light Mag (Reload Speed +10, Range +5) |
| Perk 1 | Reconstruction (Refills 10 percent of the magazine capacity from reserves every four seconds while not firing the weapon) |
| Perk 2 | Desperate Measures (Weapon kills grant 10 percent increased damage for seven seconds (x1 Stack). Grenade or Melee kills grant 20 percent increased damage for seven seconds (x2). Scoring another Grenade or Melee kill increases this to 30 percent (x3). Can activate while stowed. Weapon kills refresh the buff duration) |
| Origint Trait | Collective Purpose (Gain bonus range and handling when near allies. Bows receive faster draw time and Swords receive faster charge rate. The effect scales with the number of nearby allies) |
| Masterwork | Handling (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Backup Mag (Magazine +1) |
Start with Tempered Truss Rod which does carry negatives, but these balance out with a later perk. However, the pull here is the Handling which takes us to near maximum straight out of the box. Light Mag comes in to cancel out the Hafts negatives and gives a welcome boost to Reload Speed and Range with the latter helping the projectile find its target easier when at distance.

Reconstruction being available is a first for a Glaive and Forthcoming Deviance takes full advantage of that fact. Slowly doubling the Magazine plays into the Rapid-Fire Frame as Forthcoming Deviance fires its projectiles quickly. With double capacity, this large amount helps sustain that damage for a longer period and can easily take down tougher enemies. Finish off with Desperate Measures for its damage boost capabilities. This perk gets its full force from melee kills which are easy to come by when using a Glaive. Just two melee kills grant a 30 percent damage bonus which is huge for taking on any level of PvE content.
PvP - Forthcoming Deviance god roll
Glaives are a great asset in PvP when mastered and this god roll should inspire more Guardians to get stuck into The Crucible Glaive first.
| Forthcoming Deviance god roll - PvP | |
|---|---|
| Haft | Ballistic Tuning (Range +15, Shield Duration -10, Charge Time -10) |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds (Range +10) |
| Perk 1 | Impulse Amplifier (Passively grants: 35 percent increased projectile velocity, Reload Speed +20 and 0.8x reload duration multiplier) |
| Perk 2 | Unstoppable Force (After blocking damage: 20 percent increase projectile damage for four seconds or until no longer blocking) |
| Origint Trait | Collective Purpose (Gain bonus range and handling when near allies. Bows receive faster draw time and Swords receive faster charge rate. The effect scales with the number of nearby allies) |
| Masterwork | Range (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Quick Access Sling (Decreases ready and stow animation by 10 percent) |
For the Haft, Ballistic Tuning takes top spot for its large Range buff. This produces an extremely potent projectile when fired and gives it deadly accuracy to enemies at any distance. Add Accurized Rounds to this god roll to pair with the Haft’s Range boost for a mighty +25 boost.

The main perks are where Forthcoming Deviance can shine in The Crucible. Impulse Amplifier comes in with a huge boost to Range, taking the stat to near maximum. It also provides a hefty boost to Reload Speed which is a great stat to feed into due to the how the current sandbox handles Special ammo. Finish up with Unstoppable Force for its damage increase to the Glaive projective which on a Rapid-Fire Frame is perfect for quickly taking down any enemy who stands in the team’s way to victory.
Forthcoming Deviance is arguably one of the most unique Glaives available and this pair of god rolls is more than enough to inspire a hunt to acquire them. To follow all the developments unfolding in The Final Shape check out the Guardian essential Shacknews Destiny 2 complete strategy guide.
