The Choir of One Exotic auto rifle has emerged as a standout weapon in Destiny 2’s Echoes Act 3, offering versatile gameplay through its unique mode-switching mechanics and powerful catalyst options. Introduced via the Encore Exotic mission, this Void/A Strand weapon adapts to combat needs, firing standard bullets in ADS mode and unleashing high-damage coin shots when hip-firing. Whether you’re shredding adds in PvE or competing in PvP, understanding its god rolls and perks is essential for maximizing performance.

Acquiring Choir of One: Step-by-Step Mission Walkthrough

To obtain Choir of One, Guardians must complete the Encore Exotic mission, available in the Pale Heart destination. Launch it from the Director under the Echoes Act 3 node. The mission unfolds across multiple phases filled with Vex enemies, platforming challenges, and hidden secrets.

  • Phase 1: Traverse linear platforms while battling Vex goblins and hobgoblins. Prioritize headshots to conserve ammo.
  • Phase 2: Enter the Vex network arena; defeat the Minotaur boss by focusing its crit spot during shield phases.
  • Expert Difficulty Requirement: For catalyst progress, replay on Expert after initial completion.

Secret chests are pivotal, as they unlock frames and catalysts. The first chest hides behind a destructible wall in the initial platforming section—shoot the weak panel to reveal it. Subsequent chests require puzzle-solving, like aligning symbols or shooting orbs in sequence. Unlocking all chests grants the weapon frames needed for customization at the Enclave.

Understanding Choir of One’s Core Mechanics

Choir of One’s duality defines its strength: ADS mode delivers precise, rapid-fire Void bullets ideal for sustained damage, while hip-fire unleashes explosive coin projectiles that excel against clustered foes. This switch mechanic rewards adaptive playstyles, making it a premier add-clear and champion slayer.

In PvE, its high base damage and ammo efficiency shine in high-end content like Grandmaster Nightfalls. PvP viability is lower due to predictable patterns, but skilled users can leverage it for flanks.

Best Catalysts for Choir of One: Breaking Down the Options

Catalysts transform Choir of One from great to god-tier. Pick them up from Banshee-44 as weekly quests (e.g., Choir: Eternal). Each requires finding a specific secret chest and completing Encore on Expert. The trio includes:

  • Subsistence Refit: Partially reloads from reserves on kills. Excellent for ammo sustain in prolonged fights, though it demands constant add-clear to trigger reliably. Best for lower-tier content where ammo economy matters.
  • Destabilizing Rounds: Hip-fire kills spread weakening Volatile Rounds. Synergizes with Void builds, debuffing majors and causing chain explosions. Ideal for crowd control in Void-focused loadouts.
  • Onslaught Refit: Kills grant stacks (up to x3) boosting rate of fire and hidden reload speed. Stacks ramp quickly, turning the gun into a boss-melter while enabling mobility in tough encounters. Currently the top pick for endgame PvE due to speed and damage output.

Community testing shows Onslaught edging out others in Grandmasters, as it mitigates the rifle’s slower base fire rate while allowing kiting.

Optimal PvE God Roll Configuration

For PvE dominance, prioritize stability, reload speed, and range to handle diverse threats. Here’s the recommended setup:

SlotPerkStats BoostWhy It Works
BarrelFluted BarrelStability +5, Handling +15Balances recoil for sustained ADS fire.
MagazineFlared MagwellStability +5, Reload +15Quick reloads keep you in the fight.
StockComposite StockStability +5, Handling +5Enhances control during mode switches.
CatalystOnslaught RefitRoF stacks on killsScales into elite/champ shredder.

This roll maximizes uptime, with Onslaught pushing DPS against orange-bar enemies. Pair with Perpetual Looping from artifacts for infinite Volatile synergy.

PvP-Optimized God Roll and Strategies

PvP demands range and stability over raw power, as Choir struggles against supers. Focus on poke potential:

SlotPerkStats BoostPlaystyle Fit
BarrelSmallboreStability +7, Range +7Extends effective dueling distance.
MagazineAccurized RoundsRange +10Maximizes bullet velocity.
StockHand-Laid StockStability +10Tames vertical recoil for peeks.
CatalystOnslaught RefitRoF on killsRewards chains in 6v6.

Experiment with handling mods; the gun’s hip-fire shines in close-quarters chaos like Control. Avoid open lanes—use for third-party dives.

Prismatic Hunter Build Synergy with Choir of One

Choir of One pairs exceptionally with Prismatic Hunter for Echoes. Core setup:

  • Exotic Armor: Assassin’s Cowl – Void breaching on invis kills amps damage.
  • Aspects: Stylish Executioner (Volatile on weaken), Ascension (melee refund).
  • Fragments: Threaded Blast (Volatile spread), Facet of Ruin (radiant on powered melee).

Gameplay loop: Gambler’s Dodge for melee spam → Radiant buffs → Choir hip-fire Volatiles majors. This yields near-infinite ability regen, turning you into a debuff machine. Double Special primary works if paired with a Heavy like Apex Predator.

Advanced Tips: Mods, Pairings, and Counters

Mods: Major Spec, Siphon, Charged with Light (for Orb gen). Pairings: Osteo Striga for poison priming, or Indebted Kindred for anti-Champion.

Counters: Overload setups neuter hip-fire; counter with ADS precision shots. In GMs, prioritize Unstoppable via rocket sidearm.
