In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know: from available perks and optimal configurations to acquisition methods during the event. We’ll explore why certain rolls excel, how they synergize with current metas, and tips for efficient farming. By the end, you’ll be equipped to chase the perfect Prosecutor for your playstyle.
Understanding the Prosecutor’s Core Stats and Identity
Prosecutor is a Kinetic-slot Arc auto rifle with a base impact of 21, range around 50, and stability near 50, making it reliable for sustained fire. Its archetype favors control over burst damage, with a time-to-kill that rewards accuracy. The Arc element opens doors to synergies like Bolt Charge from the seasonal artifact, amplifying ability damage into explosive chain reactions.
Key stats include solid handling and reload speed out of the box, boosted further by smart barrel and magazine choices. Origin traits like Crossing Over (boosts after Transcendence) and Gravity Well (pulls in enemies) add utility, especially in endgame activities. This weapon’s flexibility stems from a refreshed pool in Rite of the Nine, introducing perks absent in its original iteration.

Top PvE God Rolls for Maximum Clearing Power
In PvE, Prosecutor thrives on add-clear and boss DPS. The meta favors perks that generate Bolt Charge stacks quickly, turning kills into ability nukes enhanced by artifact mods.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork | Origin Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-Purpose Add Clear | Fluted Barrel | Flared Magwell | Dragonfly | Voltshot | Reload Speed | Gravity Well |
| Sustained Boss DPS | Smallbore | Ricochet Rounds | Attrition Orbs | Rolling Storm | Stability | Crossing Over |
| Ability Synergy | Arrowhead Brake | Tactical Mag | Subsistence | Onslaught | Handling | Gravity Well |
All-Purpose Add Clear: Dragonfly creates explosions for clustered foes, while Voltshot applies Jolt on reloads, chaining lightning damage. Fluted Barrel and Flared Magwell ensure snappy handling and quick reloads—crucial since neither perk refunds ammo. Reload masterwork pushes it over the top for nonstop firing. Gravity Well clusters enemies for Dragonfly procs.
Sustained Boss DPS: Attrition Orbs generate team-wide buffs after multikills, stacking with Rolling Storm’s Bolt Charge for ability spam. Ricochet Rounds boost stability and range for long sightlines. Ideal for Grandmaster nightfalls or dungeon bosses.
Ability Synergy: Subsistence keeps the mag topped during prolonged fights, feeding Onslaught’s ramping fire rate. Perfect for champions or shield phases.
Elite PvP Configurations for Crucible Supremacy
PvP demands precision and consistency. Prosecutor’s controllable recoil shines with perks enhancing accuracy and dueling potential. TTK sits at 0.87s optimal, competitive against meta pulses.
| Roll Type | Barrel | Magazine | Perk 1 | Perk 2 | Masterwork | Origin Trait |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peak Duels | Smallbore | Ricochet Rounds | Zen Moment | Target Lock | Stability | Crossing Over |
| Flank Aggressor | Hammer-Forged Rifling | Accurized Rounds | Keep Away | Tap the Trigger | Range | Gravity Well |
Peak Duels: Zen Moment cleans recoil directionally on hits, stacking with Target Lock’s damage ramp for 1v1 dominance. Smallbore and Ricochet Rounds maximize stability and range. Crossing Over aids post-Transcendence pushes.
Flank Aggressor: Keep Away rewards isolation with buffs, pairing with Tap the Trigger for laser-like control. Hammer-Forged extends effective range, countering lane holders.
Farming Prosecutor in Rite of the Nine
Rite of the Nine rotates Prophecy, Ghosts of the Deep, and Spire of the Watcher dungeons with refreshed loot. When Prophecy is active, Prosecutor drops from all chests across Explorer, Eternity, and Ultimatum difficulties. Higher tiers yield Adept versions.
- Run the Dungeon: Complete encounters—Shattered Throne style with Kell Echoes—for weapon chances.
- Event Hub Chest: Spend 250 Nonary Manifolds weekly for pool drops.
- Attunement: Visit the Emissary in the hub to focus Prosecutor, massively increasing drop rates.
- Ultimatum Mode: Contest for Adept frames and exotics.
Pro tip: Farm on alt characters for extra rolls. Prophecy’s solo-friendly layout makes this efficient.
Why Prosecutor Stands Out in the Current Meta
With Arc 3.0 buffs and Bolt Charge prominence, Prosecutor fills a Kinetic primary gap. Dragonfly/Voltshot mimics Fusion-like add-clear without special ammo. In PvP, it counters aggressive shotgun rushes. Compared to rivals like The Summoner, its deeper pool offers more variance.
Seasonal rotations favor it in GMs and raids. Pair with Arc hunters for Radiant procs or Warlock Bleak Assassin builds.
