Destiny 2 old-timers may remember the Oxygen SR3 scout rifle, and Renegades gave all players a chance to grab a god roll of this striking scout rifle. This reissued weapon keeps what makes it unique, but brings a few new additions.
Oxygen SR3 can be a great pick if you’re looking for a tiered Solar scout, especially if you snag a roll with Accelerated Assault. Unsurprisingly, it retains Meganeura, but it gets some extra Solar synergy and, shockingly enough, a little help for melee builds. Here are our Oxygen SR3 god rolls in Destiny 2, based on data d2foundry.gg.
Oxygen SR3 PvE god rolls in Destiny 2
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake, Smallbore, or Corkscrew Rifling
- Magazine: Appended Mag, Tactical Mag, or Flared Magwell
- First perk: Heal Clip or Rapid Hit
- Honorable mention: Shoot to Loot
- Second perk: Meganeura, Burning Ambition, or One For All
Oxygen SR3’s perk pool isn’t super strong, but it has what’s expected. For your first column, Heal Clip is a staple of Solar weapons, so this is an excellent option for content where you’d like the extra sustain. Rapid Hit is a top-tier contender in several weapons, including scout rifles, and it’s unsurprisingly up there as well.
Shoot to Loot gets an honorable mention because it’ll hardly feature as the best roll, but it provides enough utility to be a decent choice. You’re not giving up that much with Oxygen to have it, either, so it’s not a bad pick for some extra comfort.
There’s not that much that’s stellar here, outside of these options. Pugilist works for melee builds, but you’ll likely use a different weapon in those cases. Phoneutria Fera is the first pairing that comes to mind, but scout rifles don’t exactly excel at close range, so that perk might just be out. To The Pain is PvP-oriented, so don’t count on that either. And Stats For All is a nice bonus if you’re using One For All, but it’s hard to place it against the top-two picks.
The fourth column has Oxygen SR3’s signature perk, Meganeura, to round out our god roll. With Renegades, this perk started appearing on multiple weapons, but it’s very much at home on this scout rifle. Your only option for Solar synergy in this column is Burning Ambition, which lets you apply more Scorch to already-scorched enemies. One For All is your classic damage boost by hitting three enemies, which comes in handy in content where you need the extra firepower and pairs well with Stats For All.
The rest of the options here are hardly special. You’d likely have more uptime on One For All than on Boxed Breathing, and while Binary Orbit is a great damage perk, it depends on running Dark-aligned elements in your build. Collective Pugilism is there if you’re looking for a melee build, but unless you’re running extremely niche scenarios, odds are this is a pass.
How to get Oxygen SR3 in Destiny 2
Oxygen SR3 drops from the Pinnacle Ops playlist in the Portal, which includes old Exotic missions. If you’re trying to target farm it, either pick a day when it’s the daily focused weapon or go for shorter, easy-to-finish missions such as Presage. Alternatively, it may appear as the weekly reward for the Grandmaster Vanguard Alert, akin to the old Nightfall weapons.
