Destiny 2's first Episode, Echoes, brings back several classic weapons from seasons past with revamped perk pools for you to hunt down. One such weapon is the Patron of Lost Causes, one of Saint-14's arsenal from Season of the Dawn.
THE PATRON OF LOST CAUSES IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! (Only one with this perk)
The lightweight scout rifle now comes with the Cast No Shadows origin perk, which automatically reloads a portion of the weapon’s magazine and improves its handling after dealing melee damage. It’s a versatile perk that makes this weapon useful in both PvE and PvP. This is our pick for the Patron of Lost Causes god roll in Destiny 2.
Patron of Lost Causes feels like a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none weapon in Destiny 2, just as it did in Season of the Dawn. The reprised perk pool has plenty to offer, including the always-consistent Rapid Hit and Explosive Payload. My pick with Rapid Hit is definitely Kinetic Tremors for that extra major/champion damage and AoE potential.
There are plenty of other options, though: Triple Tap and Vorpal Weapon make it a bit of a sidekick with longer boss DPS phases, Strategist helps with class skill builds, and Osmosis is an interesting option that requires some theorycrafting.
