Path of Least Resistance best Perks in Destiny 2

There are two types of God Roll to consider when aiming for the best Perks for Path of Least Resistance in Destiny 2, and it depends on whether you want to use the Trace Rifle for PvE or PvP.

Best Path of Least Resistance PvE God Roll in Destiny 2

I'd recommend obtaining the following Perks for PvE:

  • Barrel: Fluted Barrel—Increases handling speed and stability (+5 Stability, +15 Handling).
  • Battery: Enhanced Battery—Increases magazine (+6 Magazine).
  • Trait #1: Shoot to Loot—Direct hits collect Orbs of Power, and shooting an ammo brick automatically reloads your weapons.
  • Trait #2: Voltshot—Reloading after a kill generates Jolt on your next shot.

  • Barrel: Arrowhead Brake—Increases recoil and handling (+30 Recoil, +10 Handling).
  • Battery: Light Battery—Increases reload speed and handling speed (+10 Handling, +10 Reload).
  • Trait #1: Shoot to Loot—Direct hits collect Orbs of Power, and shooting an ammo brick automatically reloads your weapons.

How to get Path of Least Resistance in Destiny 2

At the time of writing, the only way to obtain the Legendary Trace Rifle is through Xur, Agent of the Nine. The mysterious trader rotates his stock each week, so unfortunately, it's just a case of hoping you'll get lucky and he'll sell it.

I missed out on Path of Least Resistance as I didn't play during Season 19, so I find myself checking his wares religiously each week and keeping my fingers crossed!
