Destiny 2 Punching Out: How to Get the Sidearm and Its God Roll

Punching Out is a Vanguard weapon. It drops from Fireteam Ops activities in the Portal, and its item source names strikes and Commander Zavala’s rank-up packages, so Vanguard play and Vanguard reputation both feed the farm.

Monument of Triumph brought it back as a tiered weapon, so every copy drops with a gear tier, up to Tier 5. Keep running Fireteam Ops and cash in Vanguard ranks with Zavala in the Tower until a roll you like drops.

Punching Out is a Legendary sidearm from SUROS that deals Solar damage on Primary ammo. Its Rapid-Fire Frame fires full auto at 450 rounds per minute, carries deeper ammo reserves and reloads a little faster from an empty magazine.

Each copy also rolls an origin trait, and its options include these 2. Vanguard Determination grants bonus damage resistance on final blows after you use your class ability. Suros Synergy adds handling and cuts flinch for a short time after a reload.

Barrels roll from Arrowhead Brake, Chambered Compensator, Corkscrew Rifling, Extended Barrel, Fluted Barrel, Full Bore, Hammer-Forged Rifling, Polygonal Rifling and Smallbore. Magazines roll from Extended Mag, Alloy Magazine, Appended Mag, Armor-Piercing Rounds, High-Caliber Rounds, Ricochet Rounds, Flared Magwell and Light Mag.

The 2 trait columns decide what the gun does:

Trait column 1	Trait column 2
Overflow	Kill Clip
Subsistence	Feeding Frenzy
Rangefinder	Swashbuckler
Light Touch	Meganeura
Recycled Energy	Binary Orbit
Heal Clip	Incandescent
Demolitionist	Adrenaline Junkie

3 rolls stand out in that pool:

• Add clear: Subsistence with Incandescent. Kills reload part of the magazine, and every kill spreads scorch to the enemies around it.
• Grenade loop: Demolitionist with Adrenaline Junkie. Kills charge your grenade, throwing it reloads the sidearm, and grenade or sidearm final blows raise its damage and handling.
• Fireteam support: Heal Clip with Kill Clip. A reload right after a kill grants Cure to you and nearby allies and boosts the damage of the next magazine.

Vanguard Determination is the stronger origin for players who use their class ability often; Suros Synergy suits anyone who reloads all the time.
