What is the god roll for Watchful Eye in Destiny 2?

Watchful Eye PvE god roll

Watchful Eye has a series of perks that put it right up there in effectiveness alongside the iconic Commemoration or Song of Ir Yut. We’ll cover the Arc setup first withEddy CurrentandBolt Chargeboth available in each column.

Kills will grant stacks of Bolt Charge, and given you’re firing a machine gun, red bar adds will melt allowing you to constantly summon powered lightning bolts. Becoming Amplified grants all the benefits of Eddy Current, so use this in an Arc or Prismatic subclass.

If you’re not up for the Arc roll,OverflowandKilling Tallyis the perfect all-rounder build for this machine gun. Ideally run this with Arc’s Spark of Momentum fragment so sliding over ammo bricks automatically reload the weapon. That way, you’re able to keep your Killing Tally streak high.

Watchful Eye PvP god roll

We’re sticking with Killing Tally for PvP to ensure easy transfer to enemies after your first kill. We’re pairing it withDynamic Sway Reductionto drastically boost stability while firing the weapon.

In a perfect world you’ll use it in short bursts, but if the need arises to go full auto with your limited ammo, you can be sure it’ll be laser accurate the lower the magazine goes.
