Season of the Wish Arsenal Guide: God Rolls for PvE and PvP in 2026

Alright, fellow Guardians, gather 'round the virtual campfire. It's 2026, and while the Final Shape is now a memory, the loot from Season of the Wish is still kicking around, and let me tell you, some of it has aged like a fine Cabal wine (or maybe just a really sturdy brick). I've been grinding these playlists until my Ghost started giving me the side-eye, and I'm here to break down what's still worth chasing in the post-Final Shape era. Forget the meta-chasing stress; think of this as a curated tour of a very deadly, very shiny museum.

Let's kick things off with the big guns. Belisarius-D is this season's Competitive PvP weapon, and it's the Aggressive Frame Pulse Rifle that thinks it's a sniper with its 77 base range. In PvP, you want to make it a dueling monster. Eye of the Storm or Rapid Hit in the third column are your best friends, and for the fourth, Zen Moment is the secret sauce—it turns your gunfight experience from a shaky-cam horror movie into a serene painting. It's the only non-sunset Aggressive Pulse that can roll it, making it as unique as a Guardian who actually plays the objective in Control. For PvE? My brother in the Light, the juice is not worth the squeeze. It has some Strand tricks with Slice and Hatchling, but you can find those on weapons that don't require you to endure the Trials of Osiris.

Now, for a blast from the past that's back and angrier than ever: Breakneck. The Forsaken pinnacle is back in Gambit, and it's still a beast. The magic combo is Subsistence (or Enlightened Action) with Onslaught. Onslaught increases your fire rate with every kill, turning this 450 RPM Auto Rifle into a screaming 720 RPM bullet hose. It's like strapping a jet engine to a tractor—suddenly, it's the fastest thing in the field. PvP players, you want this too. A kill turns it into a 720 with a 450's damage profile, which is about as fair as a Titan shoulder charge in a hallway.

Speaking of unique, let's talk about Crux Termination IV. This is the first Rocket Launcher in the game that can roll with Slideshot. Yes, you read that right. Slide to load a rocket. It’s as satisfying as popping a super on a whole team in Mayhem. Pair it with Surrounded for add-dense encounters or Bipod for burst damage. If sliding to reload feels as awkward as a Hunter trying to cast a Well of Radiance, Reconstruction is a fine backup. PvP mains, you can safely ignore this one; there are better options for sending Guardians back to orbit.

Next up is a sword that's more about utility than raw damage. Double-Edged Answer is an Adaptive Frame sword, which means it's instantly overshadowed by its flashier cousins. However, it has a party trick: Valiant Charge. Block some damage, and you get a lunge distance that would make a Blink Warlock jealous. Paired with the Nadir Focus origin trait, it behaves like an inverted Eager Edge sword—great for mobility, not so much for DPS. Think of it less as a weapon and more as a very pointy pair of roller skates.

For all you snipers out there, Eye of Sol has returned to the Trials of Osiris. It can't get the godly Opening Shot + Snapshot combo anymore, but Moving Target and Opening Shot will give you an aim assist stat so high it feels like the game is aiming for you. It's like the bullet is being gently guided to the target's head by a team of tiny, spectral pigeons. Slickdraw is there if you want max handling at the cost of some aim assist.

Let's shift to something new and Strand-y. Incisor is the first Legendary Strand Trace Rifle, and it's a Trials reward. For PvE, it's a workhorse. Subsistence paired with Killing Tally or Target Lock lets you hold down the trigger until everything is turned into green string. It can also roll Slice and Hatchling for your Threadling-spawning needs. In PvP, it's... fine. You're probably better off with a different special weapon, but a roll with Zen Moment and Kill Clip can surprise people.

The Iron Banner has brought us Lethal Abundance, a Strand Auto Rifle that's shaking up the sandbox. The dream roll is Slice and Onslaught. Use your class ability to Sever enemies (reducing their damage), get a kill to start stacking Onslaught, and watch as your 360 RPM rifle morphs into a 600 RPM monster while everything around you is debuffed. It's a beautiful, violent symphony. Discord is a great alternative to Slice if you're more of a swap-and-pop player.

For the heavy slot, Marcato-45 is the first Strand Machine Gun. It's a solid add-clear option, especially in double Special builds. The combo to look for is Demolitionist and Onslaught. Get kills to refill your grenade and increase the fire rate, throw a grenade to reload, and repeat. It turns you into a one-Guardian demolition crew, churning through enemies like a woodchipper through fallen leaves.

Ah, the infamous Multimach CCX is back. Its reign of terror in the Crucible has been tempered since the range/zoom decoupling, but it's still a beast. Dynamic Sway Reduction and Iron Reach give it fantastic range and stability. For a more aggressive playstyle, Kill Clip or even Target Lock can drastically reduce its time-to-kill. PvE players might want to look elsewhere, but Attrition Orbs and Frenzy make for a decent primary.

Don't sleep on Parabellum, a Solar Adaptive SMG from the world pool. In PvP, Adagio is the star. Get a kill, and you get a damage boost that, when combined with Radiant and surges, can achieve a blisteringly fast time-to-kill. It becomes a Solar Immortal in the right hands. For PvE, Permeability and Frenzy is a great combo. Permeability lets it match your subclass element, making it a versatile tool for any build.

The Prophet is an interesting one—a Stasis 120 RPM Scout Rifle that's basically a Legendary Dead Man's Tale. In PvP, the wild combo is Discord and Cascade Point. Get a kill with your energy weapon, swap to The Prophet, and it turns into a 200 RPM laser beam for a few seconds. It's a gimmick, but a terrifyingly effective one that turns this scout into a pseudo-special weapon. For PvE, Rapid Hit and Precision Instrument is solid for plinking away at champions from a distance.

Shotgun fans, Retrofuturist is back (again). For PvP, you want Quickdraw and Snapshot Sights for that lightning-fast feel. It won't have the consistency of an Opening Shot shotgun, but it'll get the job done. PvE players can safely skip it; its perk pool for damage is about as exciting as a public event on Europa.

Riiswalker, the Iron Banner Lightweight Shotgun, is also back. The PvP god roll is Slideshot and Opening Shot, which can push its range to the moon when both are active. Stack handling wherever you can. PvE players, once again, there's nothing here for you. It's a dedicated Guardian-deleter.

If you loved Gnawing Hunger, meet its evolution: Ros Arago IV. This Void Adaptive Auto Rifle has Onslaught. When fully stacked, it becomes the fastest-firing weapon in the game. Pair it with Rewind Rounds for near-infinite magazine uptime in PvE, or Dynamic Sway Reduction for a laser beam in PvP. It's an add-clearing machine that makes other Auto Rifles look like they're firing in slow motion.

Now, for one of the biggest winners of the season: The Slammer. This is a Stasis Vortex Frame Sword, and it's incredible. The headline? Eager Edge is in the first column. Yes, the movement perk from the 30th Anniversary swords. But it gets better: it can also roll Bait and Switch in the second column. This combination makes it arguably the best Legendary Sword for PvE, perfect for both zooming around and melting champions. In PvP, Cold Steel can slow targets, or Demolitionist can help get your grenade back for heavy rounds.

The king has returned. The Summoner is back in Trials of Osiris, and its perk pool is so good it's almost rude. For PvE, Subsistence and Onslaught turns it into a 1000 RPM bullet fountain. Overflow and Golden Tricorn is another deadly combo, granting a 50% damage buff that outpaces Exotic primaries against red bars. In PvP, you're spoiled for choice. Dynamic Sway Reduction and Tap the Trigger makes it a laser. For 6v6 chaos, Heal Clip and Kill Clip lets you heal on reload and then shred with a reduced time-to-kill. This gun has more viable rolls than a bakery has pastries.

Tusk of the Boar is the first Strand Wave-Frame Grenade Launcher, and it's the second to roll Chain Reaction. This perk is pure, unadulterated chaos in a can. One shot can clear an entire room as enemies explode in a beautiful green chain. It's an Iron Banner must-have for PvE. PvP players might find some fun with Slice and Hatchling, but it's not top-tier for the Crucible.

Undercurrent is an Arc Wave-Frame GL that's a direct competitor to the raid favorite, Forbearance. Its claim to fame? It's the first Wave-Frame with Voltshot. Pair it with Demolitionist or Ambitious Assassin, and you have an incredible add-clear tool that also jolts everything. It's not quite as mindless as Chain Reaction, but it's a fantastic and more accessible option.

Sniper rifle collectors, Uzume RR4 is back in Nightfalls. For PvP, Snapshot Sights and Explosive Payload is a great combo, making it snappy and flinch-inducing. For PvE, Fourth Time's the Charm and Vorpal Weapon is serviceable but won't break any DPS records.

And finally, we have Wild Style. Let's be blunt: this Solar Double Fire Grenade Launcher is a massive letdown. It can't roll Auto-Loading Holster, its reload perks are clunky, and its damage perks are situational. In a sandbox full of fantastic special weapons, this one feels like it was assembled from spare parts found in a derelict Fallen skiff. For both PvE and PvP, you can safely skip the grind on this one. Your time is better spent almost anywhere else.

So there you have it, Guardians. The Season of the Wish loot pool is a mixed bag of absolute bangers and forgettable trinkets. The standout weapons—Belisarius-D, Breakneck, The Slammer, The Summoner, Ros Arago IV—are still worth chasing even in 2026 for their unique perks and sheer power. The rest? Well, let's just say your vault space will thank you for being selective. Now get out there and farm. Your perfect roll is waiting, probably just after your tenth failed Trials passage.
