What Is the Cynosure God Roll in Destiny 2?
Finding the absolute best perk combination for a god roll on playlist weapons like the Cynosure is typically more difficult than other weapons. Their large perk tables mean that there are several great combinations to comb through. Cynosure lacks a lot of great PvE options that are typically found on adaptive frame rocket launchers but comes with a new trait, Elemental Honing, that may shake up the damage meta. The PvP god roll falls in line with other rocket launchers’ god rolls of the same frame.

PvE Breakdown
While Cynosure at first glance doesn’t look like anything special in the rocket launcher world, it has a new trait that will make it a great damage option that could make it more desirable than other rocket launchers. As with any PvE rocket launcherQuick LaunchandImpact Casingare the go-to options for the barrel and magazine perks. Quick Launch improves the weapon’s handling and Impact Casing directly improves the rocket’s damage. Increasing the handling of the weapon further with aHandlingmasterwork and either aQuick Access Slingor Tactical mod will further improve the weapon.
The main traits of the Cynosure are where it really comes into its own. It comes with the now favored trait for damage rotation reloads for most weapons,Envious Assassin. This trait reloads the magazine of the weapon when you hit an enemy with all of your weapons. The new trait, Elemental Honing, increases the damage of the rocket launcher for every different element you deal damage to an enemy to. This means it gets a damage boost easily just by hitting with 3 to 4 different elements, and if you can work to getting the max stack of 5 different elements, then it can do more damage than even Bait and Switch.

PvP Breakdown
Rocket launchers like the Cynosure are common PvP weapons as they basically allow for a one-shot free kill for picking up some heavy ammo. They aren’t as effective as grenade launchers or machine guns for getting multiple kills, but their ease of use makes them a worthy choice. You want to increase Velocity and Blast Radius as much as you’re able to on PvP rocket launchers. Which way you decide to go is really personal preference, but a well-rounded choice of increasing both as much as possible is also effective.Volatile Launchwill increase the blast radius and you can mitigate the loss in Velocity by takingHigh-Velocity Rounds.AVelocitymasterwork will take this even further and you can increase both again by taking anAerodynamicsmod.
The main traits of a rocket are less important on rocket launchers. While Timed Payload sounds like fun and can be effective if used correctly, it takes away from the whole easy-to-use strategy of most rocket launchers. Instead, you should opt for traits that improve the weapon passive,y likeImpulse Amplifieror Tracking Module in Column 3. Column 4 also has some great options like Chain Reaction or Cluster Bombs, butQuickdrawis hard to beat when it comes to a passive benefit on the slower-drawing rocket launcher.
