Permafrost may live up to its name: the Destiny 2 limited-time grenade launcher can cover the field with ice, and its god roll makes it quite devastating, even if it's not an Area Denial Frame like Lost Signal.
As a Wave Frame, Permafrost can clear enemies quickly, and its perk pool has a few powerful add-ons that will make this weapon even better. The catch is, Permafrost is only available during the Dawning, so grab this before the event ends, just in case it's not another Yeartide Apex situation. As you chase this grenade launcher, odds are you'll also snag good copies of Mistral Lift and Fimbulwinter Stitch, which also come with a few treats of their own.
Here are our god rolls for Permafrost in Destiny 2, based on data from https://d2foundry.gg/w/2316331767?p=0,0,0,0&m=0&mw=0.
Permafrost PvE god roll in Destiny 2

- Barrel: Volatile Launch or Linear Compensator
- Mag: High-Velocity Rounds
- First perk: Rimestealer, Overflow, Blast Distributor, or Demolitionist
- Second perk: Crystalline Corpsebloom, Reaper's Tithe, One For All, or Desperate Measures
There's plenty to look at in Permafrost's first perk. Rimestealer is our top choice because of the synergy, but it's far from being the only viable option. In fact, this grenade launcher can bring utility in multiple ways.
Blast Distributor and Demolitionist can fuel grenade builds by boosting your Grenade stat or by giving you grenade energy, respectively. The latter is your best bet if your stat is already high enough, though. Overflow just gives you more shots on the mag, meaning fewer reloads.
Attrition Orbs can create orbs of power to fuel other aspects in your kit, such as Surges, Fonts, Kickstart mods, Smoke Jumper set bonuses, and more. Its uptime may not be the best if you're not hitting groups of enemies, though.
Crystalline Corpsebloom really shines here. Screenshot by Destructoid Permafrost's rich fourth column boasts Crystalline Corpsebloom at the top, and it may be one of the most effective add-clear weapons to use this perk. It's easy to get uptime on it since it can take down multiple targets, and with Rimestealer, Permafrost gives you extra damage reduction in the form of Frost Armor even if you're not using Stasis. The combination is too good to pass up on, even if the Stasis crystals may get in the way.
Our other picks are for boosting damage: Reaper's Tithe grants you a buff based on the number of simultaneous kills. Desperate Measures bumps its damage upon taking down an enemy, with a bigger benefit from ability kills. And One For All does so by hitting three targets, which is another rather simple trigger.
How to get Permafrost in Destiny 2
Talk to Space Grandma for your copies of it. Image via Bungie Permafrost can drop from any source of Dawning gear. This includes opening A Gift In Return, grabbing an event-exclusive end-of-mission reward in a given Portal activity, or buying Dawning Engrams from either Eva Levante or the event store. To get the most out of the event, grab all applicable upgrades from Eva's inventory to generate more Dawning Spirit, which you can turn into event rewards.
