Destiny 2 has brought back The Mountaintop and Midnight Coup, with new ways to acquire them and some new god rolls to chase. Destiny 2 players love to grind for the optimal versions of weapons, especially for the most desirable weapons in the game.

For The Mountaintop and Midnight Coup, as with all BRAVE Arsenal weapons, there are some useful ways to focus your grinding, so here's how you can get these weapons and the best versions of each for PvE and PvP.

How to unlock The Mountaintop & Midnight Coup

Both The Mountaintop and Midnight Coup can be acquired as random drops in Onslaught, but to get the curated roll you will need to complete the quests given by Arcite.

To acquire these quests, speak with him in the Hall of Champions. Each quest requires you to get a certain number of kills; with Breech-Loaded Grenade Launchers for The Mountaintop and Hand Cannons for Midnight Coup.

Completing these quests will net you the limited edition curated roll for each weapon, as well as the ability to attune to them. Curated rolls are excellent versions, but not the most optimal in terms of perks. While they are still desirable, if you are looking for god rolls, the main reason you should complete this quest is for attunement.

Completing the quest for a weapon in the BRAVE Arsenal allows you to attune to it in the Hall of Champions, which dramatically increases the chances of getting random drops of that weapon in Onslaught. For example, if you really want a good roll on The Mountaintop, attune to it and you should get more of them.

The limited editions of these weapons have a unique look but also come with double perks in the third and fourth columns. These are the most desirable, as not only do they have double the chances of being god rolls, but they can potentially roll with perks useful in different situations.

If you're lucky, you might get one weapon just as suited to raids and dungeons as it is to Trials of Osiris.

God rolls & how to get them

If you want the god roll for either of these weapons, you'll first want to follow the steps above, and then get settled in for a grind.

Once you're attuned, you simply need to play Onslaught over and over to get more random drops until hopefully, you get the one that you want. Legend difficulty is useful for this, as you get double rewards every 10 levels.

We all love a god roll, and while the exact definition is up to interpretation for most weapons, here are my picks for the best rolls for The Mountaintop and Midnight Coup:

The Mountaintop

PvE	PvP
Volatile Launch	Volatile Launch
Spike Grenades	Sticky Grenades
Auto-Loading Holster	Auto-Loading Holster
Recombination	Harmony

Midnight Coup

PvE	PvP
Hammer-Forged Rifling	Hammer-Forged Rifling
Accurized Rounds	Accurized Rounds
Firefly	Explosive Rounds
One-For-All	Zen Moment
