Destiny 2 is going through many changes now that the Final Shape has come and gone, none more impactful than ditching seasons for Episodes. The first Episode, named Echoes, features a large assortment of Vex themed weapons and a reprised selection of weapons from Season of the Dawn. Each of the weapons features a unique Origin Trait and some new mechanics and has the potential for some impressive God Rolls. Let’s look at the best rolls possible for each of the Episode Echoes weapons in Destiny 2: The Final Shape.
