New Pacific Epitaph is a wave frame grenade launcher from Ghosts of the Deep. Wave frame grenade launchers have consistently been top-tier special weapons in Destiny 2, despite numerous changes. This one is in the Kinetic slot and has refreshed perks thanks to Rite of the Nine. Today I’m going to check out the stats, perks, god rolls, plus how to get New Pacific Epitaph in Destiny 2.

How to get New Pacific Epitaph

You can get this one from the Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon. You can get it from the first and final encounters. The updated New Pacific Epitaph is available through the limited-time Rite of the Nine event. It drops from all Ghosts of the Deep difficulties when featured and from a chest in the event hub (for 250 Nonary Manifolds). Players can also attune the weapon in the hub to boost its drop rate.

New Pacific Epitaph is a Legendary Kinetic Grenade Launcher with a Wave Frame meaning it is a one-shot handheld Grenade Launcher. Projectiles release a wave of energy when they contact the ground. Looking at the stats we have Blast Radius 50, Velocity 73, Stability 26, Handling 71, Reload Speed 71, Rounds Per Minute 72, Magazine 1.

The Origin Traits here is Restoration Ritual and Gravity Well. Restoration Ritual means reviving allies or defeating combatants with finishers reloads this weapon and readies an emergency ammo refill for the next time this weapon runs out of ammo. Gravity Well is reloading this weapon automatically gathers nearby ammo.

Wave frame grenade launchers now face competition from rocket-assisted sidearms, but New Pacific Epitaph remains viable thanks to strong perks like Demolitionist and Redirection. While the recent Chain Reaction nerf hurt its PvE performance, it’s still worth trying.
