Folded Root, Destiny 2's first Void rocket launcher compatible with the new tier system in The Edge of Fate, is only available for a limited time, so hurry if you're looking to get a god roll.
After a brief appearance in September, the rocket launcher returned in the end-of-season Call to Arms event for those who wanted another chance to snatch it.
Looking at Folded Root's perk pool, you'll notice a lack of meta traits on its god roll. In fact, this rocket launcher veers heavily from the usual suspects, instead offering some unusual (but still potentially effective) options.
Here are our Folded Root god rolls in Destiny 2, with perk data from d2foundry.gg.

There isn't much room to play with when it comes to the Folded Root god roll. Most weapons have a couple of different options that could make you wonder what to pick, but this Void rocket launcher mostly has one job: chunking bosses or beefier enemies. You can also use it as an ammo-efficient tool to clear adds, especially Majors and Elites.
To get the biggest damage out of your Folded Root god roll, aim for Cluster Bomb in the third column. This perk received a buff in Ash & Iron, improving the damage of its submunitions when enhanced.
Normally, you'd go for Envious Arsenal, Reconstruction, or Auto-Loading Holster on most rocket launchers. But since the third column doesn't really have any better options, stick with Cluster Bomb and don't worry about leaving anything on the table.
You have two natural options to pair with Cluster Bomb: Frenzy and Lasting Impression. Frenzy has been a reliable perk since its addition in 2021's Season of the Chosen, and it's our pick for a Folded Root god roll. It improves your damage and boosts your reload speed, which is extra useful since the rocket launcher doesn't have a reload perk.
Lasting Impression (also added in Season of the Chosen) is another option if you're familiar with how to use it. With this perk, rockets detonate after a couple of seconds but deal more damage. That delay may make it a bit cumbersome, so Frenzy is our top choice here.
Alternatively, you can also focus your build around Bipod, which is more utility-based rather than targeted at the biggest damage per shot. Bipod increases a weapon's magazine size and reserves at the expense of damage, fire rate, and reload speed, so it commonly appears when you'd like a better ammo economy and more liberal use of your rockets. Cluster Bomb is still king of the third column, but Ambitious Assassin might also work as a temporary substitute since it overflows your magazine based on kills.
How to get Folded Root in Destiny 2
Folded Root is available as part of the Call to Arms event, which runs until Nov. 25 based on the in-game counter. Grab this weapon by completing one of the six event activities, marked with an event engram in the Portal screen or accessible through the event's Play Now tab. It's unclear if this weapon will be obtainable in Renegades and beyond, though.
