The Swarm is back in Destiny 2, and with some really nice God Rolls. If you’re familiar with The Swarm Legendary Arc Machine Gun, then you’ve probably been spending some time running Nightfalls. However, even though the gun is a great one by itself, you really need some of the best rolls on it to unleash it’s full potential. While it was first introduced into the game in Season 13, its back and better than ever as a reward for completing Nightfalls. Let’s take a look at the Destiny 2 Machine Gun, The Swarm, and its God Rolls.

Obtaining The Swarm in Destiny 2 is quite easy. All you have to do is complete Nightfall and Grandmaster Nightfall activities within the game. Whenever The Swarm is listed as a possible drop, you have a chance of obtaining it. This is pretty since, since it makes it possible for you to farm the weapon during specific times.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
