Destiny 2 Psychopomp Guide — How To Loot + Pve & Pvp God Rolls

Psychopomp is a Legendary Arc Special grenade launcher built on the Area Denial Frame and added in Episode: Heresy Act I, and it is a random drop from the Pit of Heresy dungeon. This Destiny 2 Psychopomp guide covers how to get the weapon, the stats and perks that matter, and the best god rolls to chase for PvE and PvP.

How to get Psychopomp

Psychopomp is random loot from the Pit of Heresy dungeon. The dungeon drops it alongside other Episode: Heresy weapons and the Apostate armour set.

• Tiered drops: Psychopomp drops in tiers, and the Tier 5 version beats the Adept version.
• Featured weeks: you can farm the tiered versions while Pit of Heresy is the weekly featured dungeon; outside that week drops are limited to Tier 3, so a roll can carry fewer perk columns.
• Dungeon access: you need to own the season that unlocks the dungeon, or you cannot farm it.
• Xûr: Xûr occasionally sells Psychopomp, which is the other place to look for it.

Psychopomp stats

Psychopomp perks and possible rolls

• Barrel: Quick Launch, Smart Drift Control, Linear Compensator, Volatile Launch, Confined Launch, Countermass and Hard Launch.
• Magazine: High-Velocity Rounds and Implosion Rounds, with Proximity Grenades also in the pool.
• Perk 1: Envious Arsenal, Ambitious Assassin, Feeding Frenzy, Pugilist, Threat Detector, Eddy Current and Stats for All.
• Perk 2: Unrelenting, Frenzy, Rolling Storm, Harmony, Demolitionist, Elemental Honing and Full Court.
• Origin traits: Willing Vessel and Runneth Over.

Area Denial Frame and Rolling Storm

Area Denial Frame is a burst-fire grenade launcher frame: every projectile leaves a pool where it lands that keeps damaging enemies over time. That pool is what carries the weapon against grouped enemies and anything standing in it.

Rolling Storm sits in the second perk column and grants extra charges on final blows, and more of them while you are Amplified.

PvE god rolls

For most players the best Psychopomp god roll in Destiny 2 is one of two PvE builds.

• Bolt Charge: Quick Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, Ambitious Assassin, Rolling Storm and Willing Vessel.
• DPS Rotation: Quick Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, Envious Arsenal, Elemental Honing and Willing Vessel.

A simpler set from the same pool is Hard Launch and High-Velocity Rounds with Rolling Storm plus a reload speed mod, which keeps the shots coming.

PvP god rolls

Psychopomp holds one round per magazine and fires at 72 RPM, so place each shot instead of spamming it. The lingering pool keeps damaging anything that stands in it, so fire at doorways and zones and let it finish a weakened opponent.

• Handling build: Countermass, Proximity Grenades, Threat Detector and a handling mod for easier hits and faster swaps.

Lore

The flavour text on Psychopomp reads, "We'll bring you home." The story it tells centers on Olgurn, a Skyburner who carries out funeral rites for a dead ally and becomes the sole survivor of his unit on the Dreadnaught, creeping through tunnels with alien chitin affixed to his armour so he can set explosives. The name comes from the mythological figure who guides the dead to the afterlife.
