Best Destiny 2 Something New god rolls to chase

Get the Destiny 2 Something New Hand Cannon from Bonfire Bash as soon as you can to use its new Dream Work Origin Trait. Something New is a Legendary Stasis Hand Cannon with a 120 RPM fire rate, making it a slow-firing but hard-hitting weapon. It’s got a solid array of perks that can roll on it and decent base stats, but the main draw is the Dream Work trait, which can be used to overflow the magazines of other weapons. If you need to know how you can get some rolls of Something New in Destiny 2, we’ve got all the information below.

How to farm Something New rolls in Destiny 2

Something New is one of the Solstice event weapons in Destiny 2, so your main way of getting rolls is as an end-of-activity reward from the Bonfire Bash activity. It's a reasonably quick and easy activity to complete, so getting a few rolls shouldn't be too difficult, but bear in mind that Bonfire Bash is only around until Solstice ends on August 27 with the Destiny 2 weekly reset. Make sure you know how to get Destiny 2 Silver Leaves too to help you get the new armor!

Something New PVE god roll in Destiny 2

Something New is definitely better suited to PVP, and you can check out the ideal Crucible god roll below, but there are still some solid perks that make it useful for PVE, particularly if you're looking for a Stasis-damage primary weapon.

• Barrel: Smallbore
• Magazine: Tactical Mag
• Perk 1: Demolitionist
• Perk 2: Headstone
• Origin: Choose Dream Work
• Masterwork: Stability
• Mod: Choose Backup Mag

Since Something New is a powerful Aggressive Frame Hand Cannon, you should have no problem killing weaker enemies, so with Demolitionist you'll regenerate your Grenade Ability fast. Landing headshots will also create Stasis crystals thanks to Headstone, which you can destroy to deal more damage with a blast. Obviously, if you're using a Stasis Subclass, you can get extra benefits from various Stasis Fragments too, helping Something New fit better into your build. With that said, you can settle for a more generalist roll that replaces Headstone with Frenzy.

Something New PVP god roll in Destiny 2

Hand Cannons love as much range as possible in PVP settings, and Something New has some great perks that can make it a top-tier weapon if you're capable with the slightly unwieldly Aggressive Frame archetype. Here's the roll I recommend:

• Barrel: Smallbore
• Magazine: Accurized Rounds
• Perk 1: Rapid Hit
• Perk 2: Explosive Payload
• Origin: Choose Nadir Focus
• Masterwork: Range
• Mod: Choose Backup Mag, Icarus Grip, Radar Tuner, Targeting Adjuster, or Sprint Grip

Every perk here boosts range or stability in some way, helping you create a punchy and versatile Hand Cannon. Rapid Hit helps with stability and faster reloads, but you might want to consider To The Pain too, helping with aim assistance instead. However, Explosive Payload is an absolute must. It offers numerous benefits in the Crucible, but is mainly useful for reducing range falloff, helping your Something New maintain a bit of lethality outside its intended range.
