Season of the Wish is upon us in Destiny 2! With it comes a slew of new weapons to collect and naturally that means everyone is itching to get their hands on the best possible roll. But early on it can be really hard to know what will perform the best. In this guide, we tell you how to obtain Scalar Potential and make some early god roll recommendations for the latest Destiny 2 Pulse Rifle.
We’ve teamed up with Stardust, one of the people behind Clarity - D2 Research, a Destiny 2 project which provides highly trusted explanations of perks, mods, and more for websites like Destiny Item Manager (DIM), Light.gg, Foundry, and more! With his extensive knowledge and experience studying weapons in depth for thousands of hours and keeping a close eye on the meta at all times at every level, he’s more than qualified to make these selections.
How to Obtain
Scalar Potential drops from Season of the Wish activities. That means you'll primarily be getting it from the new Riven's Lair activity or through Season of the Wish Engrams.
About Scalar Potential
Scalar Potential is a Legendary Arc Pulse Rifle of the Rapid-Fire Frame archetype. This means it has deeper ammo reserves and reloads slightly faster when the magazine is empty. It sports the Dragon's Vengeance Origin Trait which activates when an ally dies or you reach critical health. When that happens Scalar Potential's magazine refills and it gains a bonus to range, charge rate, and handling.
