The Whatchamacallit is an odd duck of a weapon in Destiny 2, and its PvE and PvP god rolls follow suit. <\/p>\n
The Whatchamcallit SMG came with the Monument of Triumph update to Destiny 2, the game\u2019s final major match. Getting a god roll Whatchamacallit is neither easy nor guaranteed, but it can be a PvE powerhouse or a functional PvP weapon with the right setup.<\/p>\n

The Whatchamacallit is an odd duck in that it’s a four-shot burst Arc SMG with some serious kick. As an Aggressive Burst Frame, that burst is frighteningly fast with a short between-burst delay, so it can deal some serious damage if you can control the recoil.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our PvE god roll thus wants to rein in its recoil pattern, as well as ensuring it can deal as much damage to as wide a variety of enemies as possible.<\/p>\n

The Whatchamacallit is an add clearing specialist, as it lacks many of the high damage perks, or indeed the sheer output, of more specialized options. Our perk choices encourage its use in dealing with trash mobs in between DPS phases while still providing a touch of usability in a damage pinch.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the Whatchamacallit is not going to dominate the Destiny 2 PvP scene anytime soon (or ever at this point). It can be a neat way-off-meta pick if you get tired of using the same weapons for the umpteenth time, just know that even with the god roll, you\u2019ll be fighting an uphill battle.<\/p>\n

A lot of the usual suspects are here, as we want to make the Whatchamacallit as lethal at the farthest ranges and in the most situations possible. We can\u2019t rely on buffs or other effects that are difficult to keep active in a PvP situation, so we\u2019ve chosen perks that have universally useful passive effects.<\/p>\n

The Whatchamacallit is unique to the Pinnacle Ops playlist and its rotating selection of Exotic missions and high-difficulty arena modes.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve received the Whatchamacallit as a drop once from something like Onslaught or an Exotic mission (Oblation: Bloodline<\/a>, anyone?), you can buy them from Zavala. You\u2019ll need to spend three Vanguard Engrams, three Vanguard Ciphers, and 15,000 Glimmer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I\u2019d recommend playing the longer activities like Contest of Elders or Onslaught, as there are multiple reward chests beyond the final one you get for completing a match. That way, you can more easily farm the rarer Vanguard Ciphers. You can then spend a few minutes grinding out Solo Ops (or indeed any other Vanguard activity) for the Vanguard Engrams.<\/p>\n
