Something New — the Stasis hand cannon added back in 2022 — is back in the game as part of Destiny 2’s summer holiday event, Solstice 2024. While the weapon may be old, Bungie’s devs have given it a whole new perk pool for this event, making it worth farming a new one.
In this Destiny 2 guide, we’ll go over how to get Something New and what perks we consider the “god roll” in both PvE and PvP.
Note: After August 27, Something New will be unavailable until at least Solstice 2025.

Something New 2024 PvE God Roll
Hand cannons are in a pretty good spot after The Final Shape expansion, and Something New’s unique origin perk makes it a solid choice for cooperative activities like raids and Nightfalls.
When using a Stasis handcannon, we typically like to pair it with Stasis abilities and subclasses, making Headstone a great option. Rapid Hit pairs very nicely with Headstone, as you’re already getting headshots in order to trigger the Stasis crystal.
Here’s the PvE god roll we recommend:
* Barrel: Smallbore
* Magazine: Tactical Mag with a Backup Mag mod
* Perk 1: Rapid Hit
* Perk 2: Headstone
* Origin Trait: Dream Work
Something New PvP God Roll
Something New has some excellent PvP perks in 2024, with multiple options to help put you ahead — including the classic Kill Clip + reload perk. But we’re going to go with Explosive Payload and the To the Pain perk instead, as it’s a much newer combo.
Here’s the PvP god roll we recommend:
* Barrel: Smallbore
* Magazine: Accurized Rounds with a Targeting Adjustor or Icarus Grip mod
* Perk 1: To the Pain
* Perk 2: Explosive Payload
* Origin Trait: Dream Work
