Long Arm is designed for hip fire, but a few new Rite of the Nine perks make it a precise and tactical killer in Destiny 2.
Rite of the Nine is here, and with it comes a reprised set of Destiny 2 dungeons and weapons with new traits to hunt for. Arguably the most popular of the weapons up for grabs is the Long Arm scout rifle — and it’s got a new god roll to hunt for.
