Evening SI4 god rolls and best perks in Destiny 2

There are quite a few sidearms in Destiny 2, and with Renegades, Evening SI4 has joined the list of target sidearms. It has access to a few elemental keywords in its god roll, with a little damage on the side.

This burst-fire Omolon sidearm has one special trick up its sleeve: the Accelerated Assault origin trait from Renegades, which can roll randomly in weapons from the Portal. This is the game-changer, but the weapon still works just fine without it—as fine as a primary weapon can in the Renegades sandbox, anyway.

Here are our god rolls for Evening SI4 in Destiny 2, based on data from d2foundry.gg.

Evening SI4 PvE god rolls in Destiny 2

• Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling, Fluted Barrel, or Arrowhead Brake
• Mag: Flared Magwell, Tactical Mag, or Alloy Mag
• First perk: Heal Clip or Proximity Power

  • Honorable mention: Impromptu Ammunition

• Second perk: Incandescent, Burning Ambition, or Desperate Measures
• Origin trait: Accelerated Assault

Evening SI4 has Solar on all sides, so you have a few different ways to access subclass verbs. Heal Clip is universally useful even if you’re not using a fiery build, since the cure it provides is some free sustain on top of your layers of survivability. The ability to activate Ember of Benevolence with a reload in group content is a little sugar on top, so this is our easy favorite in our god roll.

Since sidearms are better suited for close-range encounters, Evening SI4 can use Proximity Power quite well, which is a great addition for melee builds and a potential alternative. Kills within 15 meters of an enemy grant you extra points in your Melee stat, so you can top up your stat points here if needed.

On the flip side, Subsistence lets you avoid reloading by refilling your magazine on a kill, and Impromptu Ammunition helps your ammo generation. These are a notch below the other two options in our god roll, though.

Evening SI4’s Solar synergy continues in the fourth column, with both Burning Ambition and Incandescent up for grabs. Pick whatever works best for your build in this case: if you already have easy access to Scorch (Through Hellion, for instance), the former is usually the play, but the latter is good to start burning enemies in the first place.

If you’re not on Solar, you’re bound to benefit more from a damage perk, and that’s where Desperate Measures comes into play. All you have to do is get kills with weapons or abilities for bigger damage numbers. It’s among our favorite traits in all of Destiny 2, and unsurprisingly, it’s carved a spot in our Evening SI4 god roll.

Outside of the A-list, Collective Pugilism pairs well with Proximity Power for more melee generation. That said, if you’re consistently using your melee, you’re better off picking Desperate Measures for the uptime. Sword Logic isn’t a bad perk, but in primaries, it’s a lot more work to maintain than our top choices.

To justify its use, however, Evening SI4 must vie against the reissued Drang from Ash & Iron. These two have similar perks, though Drang has a far more comfortable archetype. Accelerated Assault is the key driver here,

Grand Theft Auto 6 is now just a little over nine months away, for real this time, and it’s still on track for its current release date.

That info comes straight after GTA publisher Take-Two’s earnings call today, which touted the upcoming fiscal year that will be “led by the November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto 6 with Rockstar’s launch marketing set to begin this summer,” in a statement to IGN.

And so, we now have some confirmation that the next time we’ll hear or see more about GTA 6, at least publicly and barring any more leaks, is this summer. And further confidence that the game won’t suffer from further delays.

As for recent rumors that GTA 6 will be foregoing physical editions in an effort to avoid more leaks, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety “that’s not the plan.” So, get those disc drives ready on your PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

For now, we wait until the summer for some hands-on previews and probably a new trailer or two, including the first official look at gameplay. It could happen at Summer Game Fest or another seasonal gaming event, but it’s likely that Rockstar will release the information on their own along with media impressions.

Meanwhile, Take-Two also announced that GTA 5 has sold a whopping 225 million copies, which means GTA 6 has sky-high expectations to try and recreate that. It may not be possible, but if any game could do it, it’s likely this one.

GTA 6 is due to launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on Nov. 19, 2026, so start your countdowns now, if you somehow haven’t already.
