Machine Guns have experienced a significant resurgence in Destiny 2 with the release of the Lightfall expansion. Thanks to the introduction of the Strand element, new possibilities have opened up. One of these options is the Circular Logic, a Strand Machine Gun that offers some of the best PvE choices for this weapon type in the game. It also proves to be formidable in PvP when utilized correctly. In this guide, we will explore how to acquire the Circular Logic and the ideal rolls you should aim for.
Obtaining the Circular Logic Machine Gun in Destiny 2
Unfortunately, unlike the Iterative Loop Fusion Rifle or Round Robin Hand Cannon, there is no assured method to farm the Circular Logic. The randomness surrounding its acquisition can make obtaining a craftable variant quite laborious. Consisting of five Deepsight Resonant versions, obtaining this weapon can be quite a challenge. However, its viability within a Strand build makes it worthwhile.
Below are the three most effective ways to obtain the Circular Logic Machine Gun in Destiny 2:
- Reward for completing a Legend Patrol: These yellow-icon patrols rarely appear in the current Vex Incursion Zone. Upon completion, you will receive a Neomuna weapon as a reward, which has a chance to be Deepsight enhanced.
- Locked chest at the end of a Terminal Overload activity: This chest contains the Circular Logic Machine Gun.
- Exchange Neomuna vendor engrams at rank 30 reputation: Once you reach rank 30 reputation, you can turn in Neomuna vendor engrams, which also have a chance to be Deepsight enhanced.
Circular Logic Machine Gun God Rolls for PvE and PvP
Machine Guns have shed their underwhelming reputation in both Destiny 2 PvE and PvP. While most Machine Guns are not ideal for boss DPS or taking on enemy Guardians, the Circular Logic holds its own in both activities as a reliable tool for add control or supplemental damage.
When pursuing optimal rolls for the Circular Logic, prioritizing controllability is paramount due to its recoil. Damage output is a close second.
Circular Logic PvE God Roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake, Chambered Compensator
- Magazine: Extended Magazine, Armor-Piercing Rounds
- Trait 1: Envious Assassin, Feeding Frenzy
- Trait 2: Hatchling, Target Lock, Demolitionist
The exclusive Strand perk, Hatchling, allows the Machine Gun to spawn an almost infinite number of Threadlings. Coupling this with either magazine overflow from Envious Assassin or the faster reload speed of Feeding Frenzy results in massive damage uptime. Target Lock provides a beneficial secondary option for sustained damage, while Demolitionist pairs well with grenade-centric builds.
Circular Logic PvP God Roll
- Barrel: Arrowhead Break, Corkscrew Rifling
- Magazine: Armored-Piercing Rounds, Ricochet Rounds
- Trait 1: Keep Away, Offhand Strike
- Trait 2: Target Lock, Vorpal Weapon
The options for top-tier PvP god rolls on the Circular Logic are slightly limited. However, with some combination of the above-mentioned perks and by maintaining a moderate distance from your enemies, the Circular Logic proves to be a dream weapon for taking out opponents at range.
With the god rolls we have outlined, you can confidently wield the latest Machine Gun introduced into Destiny 2 in any activity and find success. The Circular Logic is also craftable, allowing you to have a version tailored for both PvE and PvP.
