Destiny 2: The Best Osteo Striga Rolls [3000+ Hours Experience]

Destiny 2 Osteo Striga is an exotic SMG that has gained a lot of popularity ever since it was first released in the Witch Queen expansion roughly a year ago. This kinetic exotic SMG is strong in both PVP and PVE, but what makes it unique from the rest of the exotic weapons is the fact that you can craft and customize its perk rolls back at the Enclave on Mars. So let’s briefly discuss how you can get your hands on the best Destiny 2 Osteo Striga roll for PVP and PVE, as well as learn how to obtain the weapon itself in case you’re a new player.

How To Get Osteo Striga In Destiny 2

Following are the intrinsic perk and traits associated with the Osteo Striga SMG as well as its unique exotic catalyst:

• Screaming Swarm: Fires a stream of sentient, toxic projectiles that track the targeted enemy.
• Toxic Overload: Landing a final blow or multiple precision hits triggers a burst that poisons nearby targets.
• Exotic Catalyst: Poison final blows return ammo to the magazine as well as grant increased reload and stability stats to the weapon.

Originally, when the Witch Queen expansion first came out, players could instantly acquire the Osteo Striga as long as they had bought the deluxe edition of the DLC. But without the deluxe access now, you will simply need to complete the main campaign of the Witch Queen in order to unlock the Osteo Striga for crafting in the Enclave on Mars.

But that aside, you will need the following list of crafting materials and resources to shape your first Osteo Striga at Level 1:

• 15,000 Glimmer
• 2,375 Resonant Elements
• 7 Resonant Alloy
• 1 Ascendant Alloy

However, before you end up marching down there, you should know beforehand that you won’t be able to craft the best roll for the Osteo Striga straight away as they will be unavailable, and in order to acquire them, you will need to level up the weapon at certain level thresholds to unlock and access them. Furthermore, the exotic catalyst will also need to be unlocked by grinding the Osteo Striga to Level 10.

Best PVE Roll

In my personal experience with the weapon, Osteo Striga performs extremely well in PVE, whether it’s ritual or weekly activities such as strikes or Dares of Eternity or even endgame content like the recent Root of Nightmares raid. It is not only a viable weapon for ad-clearing but also fun to use with any kind of subclass.

But with that said, the following are my hand-picked PVE god roll perks for the Osteo Striga:

Best PVP Roll

Since the Osteo Striga supports unique tracking bullets with poison effects, it honestly makes this one of the best kinetic exotic guns to use against Guardians in PVP for casual, ranked, and even the Trials of Osiris. You technically don’t need to fine-tune the weapon for PVP usage.

But still, if you are looking to min-max the stats to your preference solely for PVP, then I’d recommend the following list of perks:

That does about it for the guide. Destiny 2 Lightfall may not have provided the players with the same feeling as Witch Queen, but hopefully, Bungie aims to address the issues with the grand finale of the Light vs Darkness saga’s expansion, The Final Shape. By the time players get story information regarding the DLC, I sincerely hope the developers also address the controversial ending of Lightfall too.
