The grind never stops, so if you're searching for The Slammer god roll in Destiny 2, we've got you covered. We will break down the specific perks you should be on the lookout for in both PvE and PvP.

Swords have been a stable pick for Destiny 2 players who are tackling endgame content for their versatility, giving both massive mobility with the iconic sword skating (which The Slammer excels at), and depending on the meta, they can become the premier heavy weapons for DPS phases in raids or dungeons.

The Slammer excels at both due to its archetype and perk combinations, so it's a must-get for melee combat enthusiasts in Destiny 2.

How to get The Slammer in Destiny 2

The only way to acquire The Slammer sword in Destiny 2 is by completing the weekly Nightfall. Nightfalls is a more challenging version of the Vanguard Ops content playlist with various tough modifiers, including Champions, so better to have those Hunter's Journal artifact mods in place.

After unlocking The Slammer for the first time, you can focus your Vanguard Engrams to obtain more versions from Zavala at the Tower. Decoding one reward drop to focus on getting The Slammer god roll may be expensive, but it is an effective method to increase your chances of obtaining the god roll.

The Slammer has an amazing perk pool for both PvE and PvP. If you're looking for an add-clearing sword, looking for the Chain Reaction-Cold Steel combo is a must.
