Destiny 2 Boosting

Trials of Osiris has always delivered when it comes to loot. The weapons from this pinnacle PvP mode consistently rank among Destiny 2's best, and with Renegades bringing both new gear and refreshed fan favorites, there's never been a better time to grind Trials for top-tier rewards.

This guide covers everything you need to know about Trials rewards in the Renegades era: the complete weapon tier list, god rolls for PvE and PvP, how the reward structure works, focusing costs, and available armor sets.

Trials Reward System

Weekly Rotation

Trials runs on a weekly rotation that determines two things: the featured weapon and the map. Each week spotlights a different weapon, giving you targeted farming windows for specific gear. Maps cycle through various Crucible arenas, and each one plays differently in competitive matches.

Win-Based Rewards

Bungie reworked Trials rewards in Season 23 to give you incremental loot based on consecutive wins before your card goes flawed. This setup rewards consistent play while making sure everyone can earn meaningful drops regardless of skill level.

Here's how the tiers break down:

• 3 Consecutive Wins: A Trials armor piece. This is your entry point for building complete sets over time.
• 4 Consecutive Wins: 5 Enhancement Cores for general progression and masterworking.
• 5 Consecutive Wins: A Trials weapon from the rotating pool, no Flawless required.
• 6 Consecutive Wins: 3 Enhancement Prisms for high-level armor upgrades.

Flawless and Adept Weapons

Going Flawless (7 wins, zero losses) unlocks Adept weapon drops. Bungie bumped up Adept drop rates on 7-win cards after you've gone Flawless, so repeated Lighthouse trips feel more worthwhile.

Adept weapons have better base stats through an improved Masterwork and can slot Adept mods, which outperform standard mods. For serious PvP players, Adept Trials weapons represent both peak achievement and real competitive advantage.

Reputation Rank Rewards

Beyond wins, Trials has a reputation track with rewards at specific ranks:

Trials Engrams and Building Your Collection

Every rank-up drops a Trials of Osiris engram. You've got two options with these:

• Direct Decryption: Take them to Rahool without focusing, and you'll get a Trials item you don't already own. This works great when you're filling out your collection and grabbing new stuff.
• Focused Decryption: Spend your engrams on specific weapons or armor (more on costs below). Once you've discovered an item, you can target it for god roll hunting.

Renegades Weapon Pool

New and Returning Weapons

Renegades added these weapons to the Trials loot pool:

• Corundum Hammer: A Strand Adaptive Hand Cannon that finally gives players what they've been asking for: a solid Strand hand cannon built for PvP. It's quickly become one of the most wanted items in Trials.
• The Martlet: A Void Lightweight Pulse Rifle that caught everyone off guard by dominating the first week of Renegades Trials. It's proven itself as one of the strongest primaries in the entire PvP sandbox.
• The Immortal: The SMG that ruled PvP during its original run returns with both its classic perks and some welcome additions. It still hits hard in the current sandbox.

Current Weapon Rotation

Four weapons cycle through the weekly rotation:

Complete Weapon Tier List

This tier list ranks all Trials weapons by how well they perform in PvE and PvP. Use it to decide what to farm first and where to spend your engrams.

Tier Breakdown

• S Tier (Best): Top-performing weapons that dominate their content. Farm these first.
• A Tier (Strong): Excellent options that don't quite hit S Tier levels but are still very much worth grinding.
• B Tier (Average): Solid weapons that fill specific roles or provide decent performance without standing out.
• C Tier (Weak): Mediocre picks that better alternatives easily outclass.
• D Tier (Worst): Skip these entirely.

Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Weapon Boost

S Tier Weapons Breakdown

The Martlet (Pulse Rifle)

PvE God Roll:

• Column 3: Repulsor Brace (or Firefly)
• Column 4: Destabilizing Rounds (or Withering Gaze)

Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds work beautifully together on Void subclasses. Destabilizing Rounds makes targets Volatile, and killing Volatile enemies triggers Repulsor Brace's overshield. You end up in a loop of damage and survivability that's hard to beat.

PvP God Roll:

This setup pushes your engagement range while Kill Clip gives you the damage to clean up follow-up kills. Sword Logic adds another layer of benefits for aggressive play. Keep Away and Lone Wolf both reward good positioning, and Headseeker offers steadier damage during gunfights.

Cataphract GL3 (Grenade Launcher)

PvE God Roll:

• Barrel: Quick Launch
• Magazine: Spike Grenades
• Column 3: Envious Arsenal (or Envious Assassin)
• Column 4: Bait and Switch
• Masterwork: Handling or Velocity

Spike Grenades are still the go-to for maximizing direct-hit damage on bosses and majors. Envious Arsenal auto-reloads your launcher when you deal damage with other weapons, creating smooth damage rotations. Bait and Switch gives you a big damage bump when you've dealt damage with all three weapon slots, making this a premier boss-damage pick.

PvP God Roll:

• Barrel: Linear Compensator
• Magazine: Spike Grenades
• Column 3: Impulse Amplifier
• Column 4: Chain Reaction
• Masterwork: Blast Radius

Grenade launchers shine in PvP because they can secure easy multi-kills with good aim. Impulse Amplifier speeds up your projectiles for more reliable hits, and Chain Reaction creates nasty multi-kill potential when enemies bunch up.

Corundum Hammer (Hand Cannon)

PvP God Roll:

This build maxes out range and accuracy. Slideshot rewards aggressive slides with instant reloads and bonus range. Precision Instrument builds damage with consecutive crits, rewarding clean aim.

PvE God Roll:

• Barrel: Smallbore
• Magazine: Appended Mag or Tactical Mag
• Column 3: Firefly
• Column 4: Explosive Payload or Shoot to Loot

The Immortal (Submachine Gun)

PvP God Roll:

• Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling (or Full Bore)
• Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
• Column 3: Rangefinder (or Keep Away, Dynamic Sway Reduction)
• Column 4: Target Lock or Elemental Honing (or Kill Clip)
• Masterwork: Range

Rangefinder is the clear winner in column 3. It gives you more aim assist, better accuracy, extended range, and improved aim assist falloff through its zoom boost. Target Lock stacks damage as you hold fire on a target, syncing perfectly with the Aggressive frame's fast fire rate. The right barrel, magazine, and masterwork setup can push you to around 90 range.

PvE God Roll:

• Column 3: Attrition Orbs or Hatchling
• Column 4: Target Lock or Demolitionist (or Master of Arms)

Additional S Tier Weapons

A Tier Weapons

Astral Horizon (Shotgun)

Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Aggressive

Astral Horizon keeps coming back year after year as a workhorse shotgun. It excels in PvP while handling PvE well enough. It's probably the best legendary aggressive frame in the kinetic slot.

Opening Shot is crucial for aggressive frame shotguns since the bonus accuracy and range often determine one-shot potential. One-Two Punch creates devastating melee combos for PvE by boosting melee damage after landing all pellets.

The Messenger (Pulse Rifle)

Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Primary | Archetype: High-Impact

The Messenger isn't as dominant as during its original run (Desperado lost exclusivity and took some nerfs), but it's still a strong choice.

God Roll: Rapid Hit (or Outlaw) + Kill Clip (or Desperado)

Additional A Tier Weapons

B, C, and D Tier Weapons

B Tier (Average)

• Exile's Curse (Fusion Rifle): Arc, High-Impact archetype. Better fusions exist, but Slideshot + Kickstart still works.
• Igneous Hammer (Hand Cannon): Solar, Aggressive archetype. Good stats and solid perks keep it among the better 120 RPM hand cannons.
• The Prophet (Scout Rifle): Stasis, Aggressive archetype. Skilled players can leverage the 120 RPM consistency effectively.

C Tier (Weak)

• The Scholar (Scout Rifle): Kinetic, High-Impact archetype. Weak archetype, poor stats, uninspiring perks. Skip it.
• Reed's Regret (Linear Fusion Rifle): Stasis, Heavy ammo. Despite past dominance, it now suffers from a weak archetype.

D Tier (Skip)

• Sola's Scar (Sword): Solar, Caster archetype. One of the worst options in its archetype. Don't waste your time.

Origin Traits

Trials of Osiris weapons in the Renegades era come with the Fleet Footed origin trait:

This trait creates a playstyle that rewards aggressive engagement. Players who like aerial combat will appreciate the AE bonuses, and the movement speed helps everyone reposition or escape. Since damage refreshes the buff, you can keep these bonuses active through extended fights.

Weapon and Armor Focusing

Unlocking Weapons for Focusing

You can't focus an engram into a weapon until you've gotten that weapon from regular Trials drops first. Your first copy has to come from random drops, rank rewards, or win-based rewards. Once it's in your collection, you can start focusing for god rolls.

Weapon Focusing Costs

Armor Focusing Costs

Trials Armor Sets

Three armor sets drop from Trials of Osiris:

• Atavistic Idol Set: Released in Season 17, this set has aggressive, combat-ready looks that fit Guardians who want their armor to match their competitive achievements.
• Pyrrhic Ascent Set: Released in Season 13, this armor has a sleek, trophy-like appearance that commemorates hard-fought wins.
• Exile Set: Released in Season 10, the original Trials set delivers classic Osiris-themed visuals tied to the activity's Egyptian-inspired lore.

All three sets can be focused using the costs listed above, so you can chase high-stat rolls on whichever style you prefer.

Farming Strategies

New to Trials

Focus on hitting 5 wins to guarantee weapon drops and start building your collection. Use direct decryption on engrams early to fill out your collection with items you haven't gotten yet. Once you've found your priority weapons, start focusing for specific rolls.

Experienced Players

Go after S Tier weapons first:

• The Martlet: Dominant primary for both modes
• Cataphract GL3: Best legendary heavy grenade launcher
• Corundum Hammer: If you need a Strand hand cannon
• The Immortal: If you missed it before or want new perk options

Flawless Players

Farm Adept versions of your favorite weapons. The improved stats and Adept mod slots provide real advantages, especially in competitive play where every stat point counts.

Wrapping Up

Renegades has refreshed Trials of Osiris with compelling new weapons alongside returning favorites. The Martlet dominates PvP, the Cataphract GL3 melts bosses in PvE, and the Corundum Hammer finally delivers the competitive Strand hand cannon players have been requesting.

The reworked reward system makes sure players at every skill level can make real progress toward these weapons. Focusing lets you target specific rolls once you've found what you want, and Flawless runs open up Adept weapons for dedicated competitors. Trials has a rewarding grind that can keep you busy for the whole season.
