Zealous Ideal god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Zealous Ideal might be one of the most recognizable weapons in Destiny 2‘s Renegades expansion, licensed with Star Wars. With a proper god roll, this reliable auto rifle can make your aim even deadlier than any Stormtrooper’s—which, we realize, may not always be a high bar.

This Solar 450rpm auto uses the expansion’s signature heat system, using a buildup instead of magazine size. You can vent it for a quick recovery, even letting you reload it partially.

If you’re looking for a trusty weapon to pair with your Praxic Blade, this auto rifle may not let you down. And if it does, well, there’s always Uncivil Discourse. Here are our god rolls for Zealous Ideal in Destiny 2.

Since we don’t have the full parts for Zealous Ideal yet, we’ll list the perks (with full information) and analyze how the parts we got on our rolls complement this weapon. The traits we listed are based on data from content creator Aztecross, though the verdict is ours.

• Barrel: Polygonal Rifling
• Magazine: Ionized Heatsink or Light Heatsink
• First perk: Heal Clip or Attrition Orbs
• Second perk: Incandescent, Burning Ambition, or One For All

There are quite a few basic yet effective options for Zealous Ideal. There’s nothing overly alarming for the auto rifle, though it does have access to bread-and-butter picks for both activity types.

For the first trait column, we recommend Heal Clip or Attrition Orbs. Primaries aren’t in the best state in the Renegades sandbox, but these perks grant you a little fuel for your builds. There’s nothing ultra-necessary here either, so it’s not like you’re foregoing double damage perks for PvE.

Attrition Orbs works as an engine for your mods and stats, printing enough orbs of power to gain a constant influx of ability energy, armor charge, subclass verbs, and even damage reduction, depending on your gear. Heal Clip adds a little sustain and can trigger keywords in some cases (like with Ember of Benevolence).

Likewise, the fourth column offers two main options for subclass verbs: Incandescent and Burning Ambition, both of which can apply Scorch to enemies. This kickstarts a series of synergies, particularly on the flame-based subclass. If you’re looking for raw damage, One For All brings a large damage boost with an easy trigger.

Zealous Ideal doesn’t heat up all that much, but if you can keep its needle in the red, Thermal Atomization also boosts your damage, though far less than One For All. Onslaught hasn’t gotten the Rampage treatment as of writing, so its stacks decay all at once. It falls off a bit in higher-end content, but it does let you deal more damage while it’s active.

As for your parts, Polygonal Rifling helps maintain steady aim and performs even better than the Arrowhead Brake based on our testing. Ionized and Light Heatsink both work well, since this weapon is quite generous with its heat buildup.

All Zealous Ideal perks in Destiny 2

The Stormtroopers’ signature weapon doesn’t have a perk pool as spicy as other dungeon weapons, but it does bring consistent successes. It’s probably not that flashy, but it seems reliable enough to bring it into engagements.

First perk	Second perk
Heal Clip	Onslaught
Zen Moment	Adagio
Gutshot Straight	One For All
Delicate Tuning	Tap The Trigger
Cooling Baubles	Thermal Atomization
Attrition Orbs	Burning Ambition
Dynamic Sway Reduction	Incandescent

How to get Zealous Ideal in Destiny 2

Zealous Ideal can drop from the Equilibrium dungeon. You can complete the dungeon’s associated quest, The Way Between, to unlock attunement and improve your chances of getting this weapon. Unlike the Portal, however, dungeon weapons usually need more feats to unlock higher-tier gear, so don’t be surprised if your rolls are around tier three.

Call of Duty grinders, the wait for competitive play is just a bit longer, but it’s well on the way.

Ranked Play in Black Ops 7 is not available at launch, but it’s coming before you know it. When it arrives, multiplayer gamers will have all sorts of ranks and rewards to earn as they level up and climb the competitive ladder.

Here’s everything we know about Ranked Play in BO7, including when to expect it.

When is BO7 Ranked Play coming out?

According to Treyarch and Activision, Ranked Play will be available as part of season two of BO7. The start date for season two is not official yet, but according to the season one battle pass’s in-game countdown timer, it should be on Feb. 5, 2026.

CoD seasons last about two months long, and season one began on Dec. 4, 2025. While Feb. 5 is not set in stone, it’s a likely date alongside Feb. 12 or even Feb. 19 depending on if it gets delayed or not (which is, unfortunately, always a possibility). When this season is live, Ranked Play will be live along with it.

Season two will also bring everything that CoD players expect from seasonal drops, like new weapons, new maps, new Zombies experiences, new Warzone modes, and even updates for the PvE Endgame activity. But Ranked Play is where the hardcore players will be looking to flex.

More about Ranked Play will be revealed in January 2026, but for now, players can expect more of the same when it comes to Ranked that was seen in previous titles like Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare III, including:

• Multiple ranks and skill divisions to grind through
• Call of Duty League-inspired ruleset, modes, and maps
• Exclusive rewards like camos and player cards every season
• Plus more

Stay tuned for more official info from Activision some time after the holiday season on when to expect season two of BO7 and everything that will be included within it.
