A new Legendary Pulse Rifle has made its appearance in Season of the Risen in Destiny 2. There are some good perks that can come with this weapon, but why have good when you have better? Here are the recommended perks that make up the Syncopation-53 god roll in Destiny 2.
Syncopation-53 God Roll – PvE
Pulse Rifles are definitely one of my favorite weapons in Destiny 2. They are great to take out enemies from both short and long range. Syncopation-53 is a new Legendary Pulse Rifle that can be obtained from Legendary Engrams and Faction Rank-Up packages. There are certain perks to keep an eye out for and we have a list of them to check out. Below are the recommended PvE perks for Syncopation-53.
