Destiny 2: How To Get The Lingering Dread Grenade Launcher

The Lingering Dread Special Grenade Launcher is a fresh new Special Grenade Launcher in Destiny 2, and it has the first god roll of its kind. Breach Grenade Launchers are some of the greatest weapons in Destiny 2 for crowd control, and Lingering Dread fits in nicely with the likes of Ignition Code and Pardon Our Dust in the Kinetic slot. The fact that Lingering Dread provides Stasis damage and has access to related bonuses sets it apart from the others.

The only disadvantage of Lingering Dread is that, like the rest of the weapons in this set, it is one of the few weapons that cannot be created in Destiny 2. Because of this, getting the god roll will be a little more difficult, especially as it only drops from two encounters in the new Duality Dungeon. Fortunately, once you've obtained Lingering Dread, the weapon will become a permanent part of your collection tab. This implies it can be obtained from any of the hidden chests scattered throughout the dungeon.

Guardians will receive Lingering Dread only in the first and last encounters of Duality. Thankfully, both secret chests may be found after the initial battle, giving you up to four chances to obtain Linerging Dread if you overcome the Nightmare of Gahlran. The first secret box in the Duality Dungeon can be located in the area with four Cabal sculptures, while the second can be found near the tenth Repressed Memory spot. Because the secret boxes only reward goods won at the end of battles, getting Lingering Dread will be simpler if only a few items have been earned earlier. The last fight can drop any weapon or piece of gear from the dungeon, making earning the Stasis Grenade Launcher more difficult.

The Best Perks For Lingering Dread In Destiny 2

With the correct perks, Breach Grenade Launchers can be used for both PvP and PvE operations. Quick Launch, Confined Launch for PvP, and Smart Drift Control for PvE are the top barrel perk options for Lingering Dread. Both the Blinding Grenades and Spike Grenades magazine bonuses are useful in Destiny 2's Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit activities, as well as endgame PvE and PvP. The Proximity of Grenades perk is also a strong option for PvP. The third and fourth columns, however, are what truly distinguish Lingering Dread as a Grenade Launcher:

1. Auto-Loading Holster/Chill Clip - This is the god roll for Lingering Dread, perfect for Stasis builds.

2. Auto-Loading Holster/Vorpal Weapon - Vorpal Weapon makes Lingering Dread a better weapon to use against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with their Super active.

3. Ambitious Assassin/Chill Clip - Ambitious Assassin reloads two grenades in the launcher whenever a kill is made.

4. Ambitious Assassin, Auto-Loading Holster/Demolitionist - Great option for Grenade-centered builds.
