Destiny 2 Mint Retrograde God Roll: Best Perks to Farm

The best Mint Retrograde roll is not the one with the most famous perks. A famous perk that does not fit the weapon’s fire rate will underperform. God rolls are about fixing a weapon’s weak points, not collecting popular names. Two rolls with the same perk names can feel different in your hands.

How to read the columns

Every random-roll weapon has perk columns you can inspect. The first column controls the feel with perks like faster reloads and better handling. The middle columns change how the weapon plays during a fight. The final column is usually the damage payoff.

Read them in that order and the right choice gets easier. Some perks only work in PvE or only in PvP, so read the perk text carefully. Community tools and the in-game perk tooltip both show what a perk does. Our weapon perks guide breaks down every column type.

What to chase on Mint Retrograde

Start with the weapon’s archetype. Fast-firing weapons benefit from stability and reload perks. Slow, hard-hitting weapons need handling and range instead. Match the perk to the problem you feel while shooting.

If the weapon struggles at range, range perks do more than damage perks. If it reloads too slowly, fix that first. For PvE, a damage perk that stays active during long fights beats a kill-triggered one. For PvP, range and handling win more duels than raw damage.

Our god rolls guide covers how to weigh those trade-offs.

Farming and testing

Farm the activity that currently drops Mint Retrograde. Check the Collections entry for the listed sources before you commit hours. Featured activities often have focused loot lists. Focus activities let you narrow the pool toward weapons instead of armor.

Keep two or three candidates, then test them side by side in the same activity. Keep notes on which activities dropped your best rolls. Crafting lets you level a weapon and shape its perks once you have enough patterns. Our weapon crafting guide explains that system.

Masterwork only the roll you actually use.

God roll judgments you will regret

Dismantling a roll because it lacks one perfect perk wastes hours of farming. Stat bars hide how a perk feels, so test before you judge. A weapon you enjoy shooting beats a weapon that looks better on paper.
