Best Season of the Witch Weapons (and Goll Roll Guide) in Destiny 2
The seasonal weapons for Season of the Witch are some of the best looking and feeling guns in the game. We have a Hand Cannon, Rocket Launcher, Fusion Rifle, Scout Rifle, Sniper Rifle, and a very deadly machine gun. Today I am going to go through them all, the stats, perks, god rolls for PVP and PVE, plus how to get them in Destiny 2.
How to get Season of the Witch Weapons
To get these weapons you have to run the seasonal activities called Savathun’s Spire or Altars of Summoning, complete these and you’ll get a random weapon drop at the end. You can also focus engrams in the H.E.L.M. at the Ritual Table. You can also craft all the weapons by getting 5 red borders of the weapon and extracting the Deepsight. Do this you’ll get the pattern and then you can go to the enclave on Savathun’s Throne World and craft the season of the witch weapons.
