Gunburn is a submachine gun added to Destiny 2 as part of Festival of the Lost in Ash & Iron. This one has some powerful perks, and will give other kinetic SMGs a run for their money. Today I’m going to check out the stats, perks, god rolls, plus how to get Gunburn in Destiny 2.

How to get Gunburn

Gunburn can be earned through Eerie Engrams, which drop from both Festival of the Lost activities. You can also receive up to two additional Eerie Engrams each day from other Portal activities. Beyond that, Gunburn is available for purchase with Candy, obtainable through Event Home rank rewards, or directly buyable from the Event Shop. Best of all, any drop of Gunburn will arrive at a higher Power level than your current one.

Gunburn

Gunburn is a Legendary Kinetic Submachine Gun with a Lightweight Frame meaning Superb handling. Move faster with this weapon equipped.

Looking at the stats we have Impact 15, Range 25, Stability 37, Handling 66, Reload Speed 28, Rounds Per Minute 900, and Magazine 38.

The Origin Traits here are Search Party and Veist Stinger. Search Party is where this weapon is granted faster aim down sights speed and movement speed while aiming down sights when no allies are near. Veist Stinger is damaging an enemy with this weapon has a small chance to reload the magazine and increase movement speed while aiming down sights. Bows receive faster draw speed and swords receive faster charge rate while this perk is active.

Gunburn is a strong addition to the Lightweight Frame lineup, comfortably landing in the middle of the archetype’s power curve. With a well-rounded perk pool, it has solid potential to find a place in your loadout and perform reliably—though it lacks some of the top-tier perk combinations seen on similar weapons. As an event-exclusive weapon, Gunburn benefits from its chase appeal, featuring a festive variant that adds a bit of (pumpkin) flair. Its best roll makes it an excellent supporting option among the current crop of dominant Special weapons.

The perk selection clearly leans toward PvE play, with only limited flexibility in PvP. Still, its respectable base stats ensure it can hold its own in either environment when paired with the right roll. Overall, Gunburn earns an A-Tier rating in both PvE and PvP.
