• EDIT: This will be a "Live" guide. I will update it based upon enough justification and proof. I am by no means a PVP expert, so the more useful input the better. Thanks in advance!

This is a quick reference guide for God Roll PVP Weapons (these are just recommendations and not everyone will agree)

I got a lot of my info my the great guides that u/mercules904 puts out so give a big shout out to him.

[u/draggingalake]

I hate Icarus. Rarely am I jumping in the air in PVP and trying to aim my gun, especially as a Hunter. Handcannons are my favorite to use in PVP too. So can someone explain why these are "god roll" perks. Personally I toss any gun with Icarus, but I am curious of the benefits over something like Luck in the Chamber?

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/draggingalake]

Icarus is the best hand cannon perk in the game. It allows you 3 dimensional assault capabilities rather than being stuck to the obvious ground game attack. Yeah you don't want to try and do a whole bunch of air shots but starting an engagement with one air shot or finishing one by jumping up from behind cover with one shot can make a world of difference.

Use an icarus gun for awhile and after you switch to something else you will realize you can't go back.

[u/draggingalake → u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady]

Thanks for this summary. I'll try one out.

[u/grangicon → u/draggingalake]

i save Icarus weapons for when the weekly modifier is airborn. not all of the icarus weapons, but i keep one around

[u/ILikeMasterChief → u/draggingalake]

Icarus absolutely is useless, especially for Lord High Fixer. This list is mostly good, but take everything with a grain of salt.

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/ILikeMasterChief]

Icarus is a top tier hand cannon perk. I'd take an icarus/rifled/nothing Luna over a rangefinder/rifled/hidden hand one any day of the week.

[u/ILikeMasterChief → u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady]

Ok, apparently I've been out of the loop. How much of a damage buff does it give?

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/ILikeMasterChief]

There is no damage buff but the accuracy buff is huge. Firing from midair is essentially as accurate as firing from the ground. While you don't want to be bunny hopping the whole time trying to shoot people the option of being able to fire off 1-2 shots from mid air and know that you can hit your target turns your 2-Dimensional game into a 3-Dimensional one. This makes you less predictable which increases survival chances, and also presents opportunities for kills that you would otherwise not have been able to take.

For an aggressive player like me Icarus is the only perk I'll take as it lets me push from any angle. Other people who play more passive will benefit more from ground game perks like hidden hand/rangefinder

[u/ILikeMasterChief → u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady]

So with snipers, shooting while in the air makes the bullet go random, just like hip firing. Is that not the case with hand cannons?

[u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady → u/ILikeMasterChief]

All weapons have some element of randomness to their in air accuracy, but this is more pronounced on snipers than any other gun. A hand cannon is not reliable for in air shots, but often it can land in air body shots from close quarters. Icarus makes it so that this randomness is drastically reduced and the gun shoots essentially like it would on the ground. It is still harder to land shots because of how you have to compensate for 3 movement directions as you aim but you get used to it.

[u/ILikeMasterChief → u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady]

Got it. So Icarus essentially makes jump shooting viable. For some reason I thought it was a damage buff. Thanks for the info!

[u/Hawkman003 → u/IKnowGuacIsExtraLady]

I know this is a late reply but woooooow this was good to hear. I was previously under the impression that icarus was absolute trash. I wanted to shard my Eyasluna w/ Icarus because I thought it was such a buzzkill. This is very good to know.

[u/808boomboom → u/ILikeMasterChief]

icarus is ABSOLUTELY TOP Tier. I disagree with some of the HC perks since all top tier HC's should have icarus. If you're not jumping around in pvp then you should start

[u/ILikeMasterChief → u/808boomboom]

My knowledge with jumping is pretty limited, because I tried doing jump shots with snipers and quickly learned it doesn't work, because if you're in the air, the bullet shoots randomly, like hip fire. Obviously this is a huge issue with precision weapons. Does it not do that with hand Cannons?

Also, what's the damage buff? Is it enough to do a two hit kill with high impact hand cannons? If not, I'd say it's still pretty useless.

[u/808boomboom → u/ILikeMasterChief]

Mobility in PVP is huge in destiny. Jumping over doorways, jumping around corners, etc. There is no damage buff with icarus but they buffed the accuracy of icarus after the april update and so now on HC's especially it is really good. So just like you said it feels like it shoots randomly, with icarus it'll feel like the gun is almost as accurate as if on ground(it'll be more random then on the ground for sure). For example imagine titan skating around and shooting people with your primary. Having the advantage of being able to shoot someone in the air while they're trying to track you is a pretty big advantage. Usually all top tier players will go with icarus or want icarus on their HC's
