One of the best sidearms for PvP this season in Destiny 2: Season of the Seraph is the Rose, a Legendary Hand Canon that offers superior stats in Impact, Handling, and Aim Assistance. As one might expect of a Hand Canon, this weapon's Range and Stability are middling, but the objective when wielding this gun is to get close to enemy targets for a clean, high-damage shot. While the Rose can function well as a situational, close-range main weapon, it is best to use this Hand Canon as a means to finish off opponents or unleash a surprising close-quarters burst of damage.

To unlock the Rose Hand Canon in Destiny 2: Season of the Seraph, Guardians must complete "Dividing the Ladder," a quest that involves fighting in The Crucible. To get started on "Dividing the Ladder," fans must pay Lord Shaxx a visit in the Tower. Shaxx will then task participants with completing a total of seven placement matches in the Competitive Playlist of The Crucible. Fortunately, it does not matter whether Guardians win their matches, as the completion of each game will progress the quest. After clearing seven placement matches, players can return to Shaxx to receive their Rose.

God Rolls for the Rose Hand Canon in Destiny 2

Using Rose Hand Canon in PvP in Destiny 2

Due to its lightweight nature and Adaptive Frame trait, the Rose Hand Canon in Destiny 2 is highly practical when its user is on the move, dodging enemy fire and moving in for a close-range shot. According to Eurogamer, the Rose is a "gun for an agile marksman" and is best equipped with rolls that bolster its damage output and accuracy. With these ideals in mind, the Guardians at Eurogamer recommend the following as a God Roll for the Rose:
