The Watchful Eye is a strong Machine Gun in Destiny 2 that many players love using in PvE. If you want to get this weapon and make it even better with the right perks, this guide will help you. We will explain the easiest ways to get Watchful Eye, where to farm it, and which perks you should look for to make it powerful. Here is a simple guide to help you get the most out of Watchful Eye.
How to Get Watchful Eye
If you are trying to get a Watchful Eye roll, you will need to run either Court of Blades or The Nether. These are Heresy Activities you can launch from The Last City in the Directory.
Out of the two, The Nether is the easier one to farm because it gives you more chances, it has multiple chests, including three from encounters, that can drop Watchful Eye. If you’re aiming for the Adept version, you will need to do the Expert versions of either activity.
Now, if you want a guaranteed Watchful Eye drop, here’s what you can do:
- Open your inventory and go to the Tome of Want.
- Spend 100 Sigil Shards on the second column to activate Ritual Rites: Machine Guns.
- After that, to activate the Tome, you need to use 5 Essence of Desire.
Once it’s active, just complete Episode Activities, defeat Guardians, and powerful enemies, you will get a guaranteed Watchful Eye drop.
Best Perks for PvE
If you are looking for the perfect PvE god roll for Watchful Eye, here is what you will want. For the barrel, go with Arrowhead Break to help with recoil control. Pair that with a High-Caliber Rounds magazine to stagger enemies more easily. When it comes to perks, Overflow is great because it lets you massively overfill your magazine when you pick up ammo, which means less reloading in the heat of battle.
Jolting Feedback is the ideal second perk, giving you a boost by applying jolts to enemies after precision hits or ability damage. To top it all, try Backup Mag mod so you can squeeze even more shots into each magazine. Together, these perks and mods make Watchful Eye a good choice for PvE.
Best Perks for PvP
For this weapon, Smallbore and a Stability Masterwork are solid choices because they help keep your shots steady. When it comes to ammo, High-Caliber Rounds is a good pick since it makes enemies flinch more when you hit them. But if you’d rather have extra stability, Ricochet Rounds works just as well both are good options.
For the first perk, Dynamic Sway Reduction is a great choice because it helps you land your shots more accurately as you keep firing. As for the second perk, Sword Logic is ideal. It gives you a 20% damage boost after a kill, which means you can take down enemies with Tier 8 Resilience or lower using just four headshots.
