When Destiny 2 launched the Trials of Osiris on Friday, players could earn the revised master-version of “The Summoner”. However, players were much more on the hunt for the new scout rifle “Aisha’s Embrace”. MeinMMO tells you what makes the weapon so strong.
What weapon is it? In Season 16, Bungie introduced two new weapons into the Trials loot pool. Among them is a returning favorite: the popular auto rifle “The Summoner” and a Trials scout rifle “Aisha’s Embrace”. It is very similar to the former scout rifle “Out and About”. They only differ minimally.
Originally, “The Summoner” was the Adept weapon for this Trials weekend, but players found the new scout rifle much more interesting and mainly focused their earned engrams on it. They quickly realized that “Aisha’s Embrace” is an essential loot in Season 16.
- The scout rifle has a rapid-fire frame, allowing it to fire fully automatically, has more ammunition reserves, and gains an increased reload speed when the weapon is empty.
- It boasts a fire rate of 260, similar to the well-known arc scout rifle “Escape Plan”.
- Additionally, it deals Void damage, making it excellent with the options for Void 3.0 abilities.
- The PvP origin perk from the Trials “Quickdraw” also provides the weapon with passive boosts, improving reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of the fireteam or fighting solo.
- Through the seasonal artifact and the anti-barrier scout rifle mod, it is strong not only in PvP but also in PvE content.
Powerful, but only with the right perks: Some players noticed the relatively weak perk pool, making it all the more important for “Aisha’s Embrace” to get a good perk combo or focus. We tell you what you should pay attention to.
Godroll for Aisha’s Embrace in PvP and PvE
The advantages in PvP are built on the Trials origin perk “Quickdraw”, allowing you to have a stable but precise weapon that wins in many duels. This way, you can land painful hits with the scout rifle and give your team an advantage.
Here’s our recommendation for PvP:
- Barrel: “Arrowhead Brake”
- For controlled recoil and significantly increased handling speed.
- Magazine: “High-Caliber Rounds”
- To push targets back further and slightly increase range.
- Perk 1: “Perpetual Motion”
- Gives the weapon more stability, better handling, and faster reload speed when the wielder is in motion.
- Perk 2: “Eye of the Storm”
- Makes the weapon more precise and provides better handling when health is low.
- Origin Perk: “Quickdraw”.
- This grants the weapon passive boosts, improving reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of the fireteam or fighting solo.
- Weapon damage drop-off: 38.33m / 79.53m
- Reload time: 2.03s.
Here’s our recommendation for PvE:
Specifically through the current seasonal mod “Anti-Barrier Scout Rifle”, the weapon can be used as a perfect nightfall option for pinnacle strikes. Triple Tap and Vorpal Weapon offer a proven combination that grants both ammunition and damage. This makes it easy to eliminate the shields of champions. Focused Fury would be our second recommendation. However, this requires enough precision hits to trigger “Triple Tap” and then activate “Focused Fury”.
- Barrel: “Hammer-Forged Rifling”
- For better handling and slightly increased stability.
- Magazine: “Armor-Piercing Rounds”
- Deal additional damage to enemy shields and penetrate targets above average plus a slight increase in range.
- Perk 1: “Triple Tap”
- So that quickly achieved precision hits return a projectile to the magazine.
- Perk 2: “Vorpal Weapon”
- To have increased damage against bosses and vehicles.
- Optional Perk 2: “Focused Fury”
- This ensures that when precision damage is dealt with half a magazine, this weapon receives bonus damage. The shot counter resets when the weapon is reloaded or stowed.
- Origin Perk: “Quickdraw”.
- This grants the weapon passive boosts, improving reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last surviving member of the fireteam or fighting solo.
- Weapon damage drop-off: 38.33m / 79.53m
- Reload time: 2.22s
How to obtain the weapons? The Trials of Osiris feature a ranking system. Once you have obtained the new scout rifle “Aisha’s Embrace” from an engram, you can focus your Trials engrams at the 14, the Saint.
Please consider: Of course, this is just our personal godroll recommendation for “Aisha’s Embrace”. A good roll in Destiny 2 has also become a matter of personal preference and can therefore vary. However, with our perk recommendations, we have tried to optimally support the advantages of the weapon.
These Iron Banner PvP weapons you can hunt soon
As soon as next week when the Iron Banner returns, more weapons will enter PvP that want to be hunted. Among them is a new sword and a new hand cannon.
- “Howl of the Land” is a 180 RPM solar hand cannon that can drop with “Calm Hands”, “Unstoppable Loader”, or “Iron Grip” to exceed the range of most hand cannons in the game.
- “Blade of the Knife” is the first Void sword that can drop with “Chain Reaction” or the perks “Origin” and “Unyielding”.
Origin perk also in Iron Banner weapons: Both weapons will also have the new origin perk “Sneaky Wolf”. While hunting, kills made with this weapon grant improved radar and remove the player from the enemy radar.
How to obtain the weapons? The weapons will be available through the PvP event Iron Banner. It occurs every 4 weeks in Destiny 2, in contrast to the Trials. The weapons will drop directly from the Iron Banner quests as you progress because Lord Saladin has not yet transitioned to the new reputation rank system. Therefore, you can only randomly receive the weapon from engrams at Lord Saladin after completing the Iron Banner quest.
What do you think of the new Trials scout rifle? Have you been able to try out “Aisha’s Embrace” yet? What are your preferred rolls and why? Let the community know in the comments what your personal perk recommendation for the new Trials scout rifle looks like.
If PvP weapons are not your thing, we can recommend these PvE weapons to you. They also have some advantages over the standard weapons in Destiny 2.
