Although Glaives have long been regarded as a niche weapon in Destiny 2, the new Rake Angle could turn out to be a highly desirable roll. The recent three Episodes have had their ups and downs, but one consistent positive has been the introduction of new weapons to enhance a Guardian’s gear. A prime example is the Lotus-Eater Rocket Sidearm, likely to become a favorite for Void build enthusiasts.
Since Glaives made their debut in The Witch Queen, they’ve offered a fun experience, but they generally lack viability in high-level content due to their limited ranged damage. While they excel in melee combat, that’s not always where Guardians want to find themselves, making Glaives—even the Exotic Vexcalibur—more suited for niche or meme builds in less challenging content that allows for creative weapon usage.
Best Rake Angle PvE God Roll
The Rake Angle stands out as a decent choice for PvE. It might not be the top-tier PvE weapon, but it outperforms many others in the Glaive category. The best pairing for the Haft and Barrel is Auxiliary Reserves and Appended Mag. The former boosts the Glaive’s Shield Duration by 15 but slightly reduces charge time and reload speed, which are often less critical in most PvE setups. Appended Mag adds an extra shot to the magazine, though it can be swapped for Accurized Rounds if you prefer more range.
In the first slot, players have five strong options: Rimestealer, Replenishing Aegis, Overflow, Lead From Gold, and Pugilist. While Pugilist is great for builds centered around frequent melee use, it falls short compared to the other options. Replenishing Aegis, Overflow, and Lead From Gold are all excellent choices for gaining extra ammo or performing free reloads, particularly in builds that capitalize on the robust survivability afforded by Destiny 2’s character stats.
However, the ultimate combination lies in using Rimestealer with Chill Clip. Rimestealer grants Frost Armor when you destroy Stasis Crystals or frozen enemies, and Chill Clip slows or freezes targets struck with the top half of the Glaive’s magazine. This creates a dynamic Stasis weapon that compensates for the close-range requirement of Glaive users. Chill Clip is undoubtedly the best choice for the second perk slot, and Close To Melee is an alternative that enhances Glaive melee damage when securing projectile kills.
Best Rake Angle PvP God Roll
As a Glaive option for PvP, the Rake Angle has its merits, though it is somewhat limited in functionality. The top Haft alternatives are Ballistic Tuning, which sacrifices Shield Power for increased Range, and Supercooled Accelerator, which trades Reload and Handling for more Range. The only recommended Magazine option is Accurized Rounds, providing greater Range.
To enhance projectile speed, Impulse Amplifier is the ideal choice for slot one. Rimestealer and Replenishing Aegis fit well for builds aimed at tankiness. Again, Chill Clip stands out in slot two for its ability to slow down other players, but Unstoppable Force is another option that boosts projectile damage when the shield is used to block incoming damage.
It’s also worth noting that Rake Angle is a reward from Nightfall Strikes during its rotation.
Overall, the Rake Angle is an impressive choice for a Glaive. Few have gained as much popularity, and it proves to be effective in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Its strong synergy with builds, such as the Prismatic Warlock’s Stasis Turrets, makes it a weapon worth pursuing. Guardians on the hunt for a powerful Glaive should consider rolling for god rolls of the Rake Angle in Destiny 2.
This version maintains clarity while offering a unique perspective on the Rake Angle weapon and its potential in the game.
