The second support frame auto rifle is here, and it’s got some great perks.
Support frame rifles are still fresh in Destiny 2 with the first arriving in The Final Shape. However, they've seen limited use as players generally outrank the activities and can survive well enough with armor Resilience and a few health orb mods.
However, Bungie's upped the stakes in Episode: Heresy, and healing isn't as easy as it once was. Fortunately, a new support frame auto rifle is here: Adamantite.
Here's the PvE and PvP god roll for Adamantite in Destiny 2.
What is the god roll for Adamantite in Destiny 2?
Adamantite PvE god roll
Column | Perk(s) |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Corkscrew Rifling |
| Magazine | Alloy Magazine |
| Trait 1 | Reciprocity |
| Trait 2 | Circle of Life Tear |
| Origin Trait, Masterwork, Weapon Mod | Willing Vessel (Origin Trait) Range (Masterwork) Synergy (Weapon Mod) |
There are several options in the second column for Adamantite but I'm leaning into the weapon's support frame archetype here. Circle of Life grants a damage bonus whenever you heal allies with the hip fire mode, and paired with Reciprocity in column one, you too will be benefiting from the heal.
Other second-column perks include Hatchling and new perk Tear. Hatchling works great with this season's Strand artifact mods, while Tear severs enemies meaning they'll deal less damage to you and your fireteam. It makes Adamantite a true support weapon, which is handy in The Nether thanks to its intrinsic anti-heal parameters.

Adamantite PvP god roll
Column | Perk(s) |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Extended Barrel |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds |
| Trait 1 | Unrelenting Ensemble |
| Trait 2 | Circle of Life Kill Clip |
| Origin Trait, Masterwork, Weapon Mod | Willing Vessel (Origin Trait) Range (Masterwork) Ballistics (Weapon Mod) |
Support frame auto rifles haven't caught on in PvP. If you're going to pick a side we recommend keeping with the support element over straight damage. Unrelenting grants health on kill, but using it with Circle of Life means you'll get enough of a damage boost when healing allies.
Take this roll into objective-based game modes with limited lives and heal allies as a priority. If you'd rather dish out the damage, Kill Clip is your best option in the second column.
How to get Adamantite in Destiny 2
Adamantite drops from Episode: Heresy activities, specifically The Nether. Completing rituals in The Nether has a chance of rewarding an Episode: Heresy weapon including the Adamantite.
You can use your Tome of Want to focus on Adamantite by selecting the Episodic Weapons Scripture and the Crumbling Auto Rifles Scripture. Then, complete activities/The Nether for an increased Adamantite drop rate.
This weapon cannot be crafted. To unlock enhanced perks, enhance the weapon using Ascendant Alloy and Enhancement Cores.
