Epochal Integration

Lore

The Ishtar Collective's researchers knew no bounds: amidst a sea of their data, I found schematics for a weapon using the Veil's paracausal field as supplemental power. However, it appears the weapon project was abandoned early. I hoped I could finish what they started, and so I share the fruits of my labor with you, Guardian.

Fusing Golden Age designs with modern necessity involved considerable guesswork, made worse by the lack of an extant prototype. I took liberties with the original schematic, choosing what to preserve, what to discard, and how to harmonize elements separated by centuries.

The first fabricated pieces clicked into place, and abstraction became reality. But it was not what I envisioned. Too cold, impersonal, and utilitarian.

I confess, I was sorely tempted to discard everything and start over. Yet I knew if I gave in to that familiar impulse, the hours would slip into days, and the days into months, while I strained for the vanishing limit of perfection in vain.

In the end, I asked Saint if he could suggest the finishing touches. Engraving a pattern into the steel was his idea. I took his word for it; aesthetic flourishes are not a strength of mine.

The result is this weapon: a synthesis of disparate elements into an unexpected shape. I am eager to see what you add to it, Guardian.

If there is a weapon that equalizes PVE and PVP capabilities perfectly, it is the Legendary Epochal Integration hand cannon. With great trait choices for both modes, this hand cannon serves all your Destiny 2 needs. Here are the Epochal Integration god rolls.

How to Get Epochal Integration in Destiny 2

To get the Epochal Integration you will have to complete the quest called “Parting the Veil”. Once you have finished the Destiny 2: Lightfall campaign, talk to Nimbus to receive the quest. This will be a multiple-step quest that will have you defeat powerful enemies such as a Cabal squadron and even a Tormentor, so be prepared.

Epochal Integration God Rolls

Epochal Integration PVE God Roll

  • Smallbore
  • Ricochet Rounds
  • Stats for All
  • Incandescent
  • Nanotech Tracer Rockets

The Epochal Integration is pretty straightforward regarding its traits. In the case of PVE, the Stats for All and Incandescent combination is the way to go. The first one will increase your weapon handling, stability, reload, and range after you hit three different targets. The second rewards you by Scorching any nearby targets when you defeat enemies, with more powerful combatants and Guardian kills causing a major Scorching radius. Finally, Nanotech Tracer Rockets convert shots into homing micro-rockets after you have landed multiple hits.

Epochal Integration PVP God Roll

  • Smallbore
  • Ricochet Rounds
  • Keep Away
  • Eye of the Storm
  • Harmonic Resonance

For PVP, we don’t have options other than Keep Away and Eye of the Storm — there are only two options for each trait slot. Keep Away will increase your range, reload, and accuracy as long as there are no targets nearby. Eye of the Storm increases your weapon’s accuracy and handling as your health gets lower. This combination will allow you to gather stat bonuses while searching for enemy Guardians and increase your survival chances once you do encounter them. Finally, Harmonic Resonance will grant reload speed, handling, and even increased damage toward Tormentors, Guardians using their Supers, and even Lucent Hive as long as you are equipping multiple weapons that have the same perk (Harmonic Resonance).
