The Mountaintop has returned to Destiny 2 via Onslaught and Into The Light. This is a monster weapon that used to terrorise PVP players with one hit kills, and it’s back, this time with random rolls, meaning it could be even bigger and better than before. Today I am going to focus on The Mountaintop, the stats, perks, god rolls for PVP and PVE, plus how to get The Mountaintop in Destiny 2.

How to get The Mountaintop

To get this grenade launcher you can play Onslaught, which you can access via the Into The Light node from the Director. Mountaintop is a random drop after the boss phase for each 10 waves completed.

You can also turn in currency, Trophies of Bravery, which are acquired through Onslaught and other activities in Destiny 2. Turn in 10 and you’ll get a random weapon, which could be Mountaintop. You can find this chest to the left of Shaxx in the Hall of Heroes.

You can also pick up a quest for Mountaintop from Arcite, he’s next to Shaxx, and by completing this quest you’ll get a curated version of Mountaintop. This includes getting Grenade Launcher kills around the system, and it doesn’t take very long to complete, I recommend either the Shuro Chi location in the Last Wish raid, or the start of the Grasp of Avarice Dungeon. Take out your favourite grenade launcher and get those kills.

The Mountaintop

The Mountaintop is a Legendary Kinetic Grenade Launcher with a Micro-Missile Frame meaning this weapon fires a high-speed projectile in a straight line and deals reduced self-damage. Move faster with this weapon equipped. Looking at the stats we have Blast Radius 100, Velocity 75, Stability 23, Handling 69, Reload Speed 63, Airborne Effectiveness 32, Rounds Per Minute 90, and Magazine 1.

The origin trait here is Indomitability where final blows grant grenade energy when playing a Light subclass or melee energy when playing a Darkness subclass.

The Mountaintop god roll guide

For PVE Quick Launch, Spike Grenades, Auto-Loading Holster and Vorpal Weapon would be good.

• Quick Launch – Greatly increases handling speed, Increases projectile speed
• Spike Grenades – Increases stability
• Auto-Loading Holster – The holstered weapon is automatically reloaded after a short period of time.
• Vorpal Weapon – Increased damage against bosses, vehicles, and Guardians with their Super active.

Lead from Gold and Recombination is also good.

For PVP Volatile Launch, High-Velocity Rounds, Impulse Amplifier and Harmony would be good.

• Volatile Launch – Greatly increases blast radius, Slightly decreases handling speed, Slightly decreases projectile speed
• High-Velocity Rounds – Increases projectile speed, Increases reload speed
• Impulse Amplifier – Massively increases projectile velocity, increases reload speed.
• Harmony – Final blows with other weapons improve this weapon’s damage and performance for a short duration.

Frenzy is also a good replacement for Harmony.
