The Destiny 2 Swarm of the Raven Legendary Grenade Launcher, with or without God Rolls, fires Heavy ammo and deals impressive Void damage. Swarm of the Raven is an Iron Banner weapon, making it pretty heavily sought after. However, regardless of its origins, we very much prefer Swarm of the Raven as a PvE weapon rather than PvP, though it’s pretty good in both. Compared to other Heavy Grenade Launchers, it’s a great choice with useful perk combinations and a pretty large magazine size. Let’s take a look at why the Destiny 2 Swarm of the Raven is so great and its God Rolls for both PvE and PvP.
How To Get Swarm of the Raven in Destiny 2
There’s only one real way to obtain the Swarm of the Raven Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2. This method involves playing a whole lot of Iron Banner. That is, if you can deal with Lord Saladin for that long. You can either get it by completing Iron Banner matches, opening up Engrams, or ranking up with Lord Saladin.
