Conspiracy Honed god rolls and how to get them in Destiny 2

Conspiracy Honed brings a sharp god roll to the arsenal in Destiny 2‘s Equilibrium dungeon. This 140rpm heat-based sniper rifle can double up on damage perks, which is always a welcome addition to any weapon in the game.

That firepower comes with quite a price, however: Conspiracy Honed heats up quite quickly, and you’ll rarely get more than three or four shots in without needing to vent this weapon. And that’s where the fun comes in.

Here are our PvE god rolls for Conspiracy Honed in Destiny 2. We don’t fully know the parts yet, but we based our information on the weapon’s perk pool on an Aztecross video showcasing the weapons ahead of time.

Conspiracy Honed PvE god rolls in Destiny 2

• First perk: Vorpal Weapon (Honorable mention: Cooling Baubles)
• Second perk: Bait and Switch (Honorable mention: Firing Line)
• Recommended mod: Enhanced Heat Generation (makes this weapon generate less heat)

The thought of double damage perks is alluring enough on any weapon, but putting some of the best damage perks together on the same gun and in different columns is almost a dream come true for anyone hunting god rolls in Destiny 2. And Conspiracy Honed does deliver. For the quick and overly simple version, this is our pairing for this weapon.

Conspiracy Honed will overheat quickly. Our copy takes three shots before having to vent, but that’s the key. After your first vent, your goal is to tap your reload button as close to the marking on your reticle as possible.

This gives you five seconds of reduced heat generation, which is enough to let you get off far more shots without overheating. Once your meter goes in the red again, prepare to hit another perfect reload and keep the bullets flowing. This is essential for figuring out how to operate this sniper, and that’s why it determines the choices you make. Our copy of it has the Enhanced Heat Generated mod glued to it.

In the first column, Vorpal Weapon provides the biggest amount of direct damage. It’s a 15-percent bonus for special-ammo weapons in the current sandbox, and that’s on top of other buffs.

Because of the cooling mechanic, however, Cooling Baubles can work well if you have enough orbs of power on hand—say, anything from two to five other guardians throwing Supers back to back. This also synergizes with the weapon’s origin trait, Imperial Allegiance, which increases cooling rate when near allies. Enlightened Action didn’t seem to have any effect for us, which is likely due to a bug.

For the second column, Bait and Switch deals more damage than Firing Line and works solo. This is our indisputed choice, and Firing Line is more of a consolation prize. The rest of the perk pool is either not as good as this duo or it’s focused on PvP, so this is the roll we’re keeping at hand.

How to get Conspiracy Honed in Destiny 2

Conspiracy Honed has a chance of dropping from the Equilibrium dungeon. We’ve gotten it consistently as a reward for the second encounter, though it also drops at the final boss. To improve your chances of grabbing this gun, complete The Way Between, the dungeon’s quest, which unlocks attunement for Equilibrium’s weapons and armor.

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.
