Rite of the Nine A Sudden Death God Roll
A Sudden Death offers plenty of strong perks to consider, especially for PvP. However, when it comes to PvE, there are two perk combinations that stand out for their high potential. One of them can quite literally break the balance of the game. Let’s start with that one.
A Sudden Death PvE God Roll (broken one)
PvE God Roll: One-Two Punch + Trench Barrel
There’s nothing fancy or complicated about this combo. Just use a build with a strong melee ability and decent survivability. Equip A Sudden Death with One-Two Punch and Trench Barrel, then watch as enemies are annihilated around you. Start by using the shotgun in melee range to activate One-Two Punch and increase your melee damage by 100%. Follow up with a melee attack to trigger Trench Barrel, which then buffs your shotgun damage by 50%. Repeat this vicious cycle until there’s nothing left standing.
A Sudden Death PvE God Roll
PvE God Roll: Discord + Destabilizing Rounds
This combo may not be as strong or consistent as the previous God Roll, but it’s definitely the flashiest. The goal is to activate two perks simultaneously. Start by triggering Discord by getting a final blow with another weapon, then switch to A Sudden Death to unleash havoc with infinite ammo, increased damage, and explosive Void bursts.
Check out the breakdown below for more details on how each perk works.
A Sudden Death PvP God Roll
PvP God Roll: Threat Detector / Slideshot + Closing Time / Opening Shot
There are plenty of strong PvP perk combinations for A Sudden Death, so finding a solid roll shouldn’t be a problem. One of the best combos is Threat Detector paired with Opening Shot, making your first close-range shot incredibly powerful. Another great pairing is Slideshot and Closing Time, which improves stability and makes the weapon more effective in the long run.
Here are more details on how the PvP perks work.
How to get A Sudden Death in Rite of the Nine

The event runs until July 15, and starting from June 3, A Sudden Death becomes available for farming throughout the remaining duration. Expect increased drop chances soon as well: details on that can be found in our full Rite of the Nine guide.

A Sudden Death alternatives
Destiny 2 features many strong shotguns, with popular perks like One-Two Punch and Trench Barrel, though you never see them together. That changes with A Sudden Death, introduced in the Rite of the Nine event. This unique combination makes it stand out, offering a level of power and build potential you won’t find elsewhere.
However, there are plenty of other shotguns built for different roles. For an Exotic option, Conditional Finality is highly recommended, it performs well in both PvP and PvE. Among Legendary choices, Someday Shotgun and Unvoiced Shotgun are the best picks worth trying.
Conclusion
That’s everything you need to know about the new version of A Sudden Death, the best weapon from the Rite of the Nine event. We hope you roll your perfect perks quickly and enjoy its powerful performance.
