The Multimach CCX has made its return to Destiny 2's Iron Banner rotation, and it brings one of the most consistent Orb-generation l This 900 RPM Kinetic submachine gun isn't just a re-issue — Bungie updated its perk pool with the latest Tier system, giving players fresh incentive to chase specific rolls. Whether you're looking to fuel your build with Orbs of Power in PvE or dominate close-quarters engagements in the Crucible, the right perk combination makes all the difference.
PvE God Roll: The Orb Printer
For PvE activities, the standout combination is Attrition Orbs paired with Kinetic Tremors. Attrition Orbs creates Orbs of Power when you deal sustained damage, while Kinetic Tremors triggers an AoE shockwave after landing rapid precision hits. The synergy is immediate: Kinetic Tremors counts as sustained damage, which feeds Attrition Orbs, which gives you more Orbs to fuel your abilities and class item perks. It's a self-sustaining loop that turns the Multimach CCX into one of the most reliable Orb generators in the Kinetic slot.
Recommended PvE Roll:
- Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling (balanced range, stability, and handling)
- Magazine: Flared Magwell (faster reloads, crucial for maintaining uptime)
- Perk 1: Attrition Orbs
- Perk 2: Kinetic Tremors
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
If you're running a build that relies heavily on ability uptime — think Threadrunner Hunters with Threaded Specter or Solar Warlocks with Phoenix Protocol — this roll slots in effortlessly. The 900 RPM fire rate means you stack Kinetic Tremors almost instantly on majors and bosses, and the Orb generation keeps your rifts, dodges, and grenades cycling.
The Multimach CCX isn't a damage king. For raw DPS, raid weapons like Submission from Vow of the Disciple still outclass it. But as a utility tool that fuels your build? It's top-tier.
PvP God Roll: Range and Forgiveness
In the Crucible, the Multimach CCX shines as a competitive 900 RPM option with a naturally high 100 recoil direction. That stat alone lets you invest fully into range without fighting the gun's kick pattern. The PvE god roll leans into Rangefinder (or Dynamic Sway Reduction for stability) paired with Target Lock.
Rangefinder grants +10 range and extends aim assist falloff when aiming down sights — effectively letting you challenge enemies at distances where most SMGs fall off. Target Lock, meanwhile, reduces the penalty for body shots. It doesn't improve optimal time-to-kill, but it makes the gun significantly more forgiving when you can't land every precision hit in a duel. Bungie reverted the Target Lock nerf on SMGs a while back, so it's fully viable again.
Recommended PvP Roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling (maximum range)
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds (maximum range)
- Perk 1: Rangefinder (primary) or Dynamic Sway Reduction / Moving Target (situational)
- Perk 2: Target Lock
- Masterwork: Range
With Hammer-Forged, Accurized Rounds, a Range Masterwork, and the Enhanced Range mod, you can push the Multimach CCX to 63 range before Rangefinder activates. That's pulse rifle territory on an SMG frame. If you prefer a more aggressive playstyle, Dynamic Sway Reduction gives up to +10 stability for tighter hip-fire spreads, while Moving Target boosts aim assist and strafe speed — both solid alternatives depending on your engagement preferences.
How to Farm Multimach CCX
The Multimach CCX is exclusive to Iron Banner, which rotates into the weekly playlist every three to four weeks. You can't focus it at Rahool or craft it — you have to play the mode and hope for drops, or save up Iron Ciphers for a guaranteed purchase.
Each Iron Banner match awards Iron Ciphers (more for wins, fewer for losses). Once you've accumulated two Iron Ciphers and 15,000 Glimmer, visit Lord Saladin in the Tower. He offers Tier 4 weapon engrams that can decode into the Multimach CCX, alongside other Iron Banner weapons like Felwinter's Lie (Solar shotgun) and Finite Impactor (Solar hand cannon). The Tier 4 engram guarantees a weapon with two enhanced perks, which significantly improves your odds of landing a god roll.
Farming Checklist:
- Wait for Iron Banner week (check the weekly reset schedule)
- Complete matches to earn Iron Ciphers
- Turn in 2 Ciphers + 15,000 Glimmer at Saladin for a Tier 4 weapon engram
- Decrypt and repeat until satisfied
If you're short on Glimmer, run a few Vanguard Strikes with a Glimmer booster or dismantle excess legendary gear. The 15k cost adds up fast if you're chasing multiple rolls.
Origin Perks and Tier Bonuses
The Multimach CCX comes with Iron Banner Origin Perks that complement its kit. Tier 4 weapons guarantee two enhanced perks, while Tier 5 (armor only) offers enhanced mods. For the Multimach CCX specifically, the Origin Perk Iron Reach extends effective range further — stacking with Rangefinder and your barrel/mag choices for absurd reach on a 900 RPM weapon. It's a subtle but meaningful bonus that makes the Iron Banner version distinct from any future world drop variant.
Is It Worth the Grind?
For PvE: Yes, if you need a reliable Orb generator for a build that consumes Orbs constantly. It's not a damage dealer, but it solves the "I have no Orbs for my super" problem better than almost anything in the Kinetic slot.
For PvP: Absolutely. The Multimach CCX competes with the best SMGs in the game right now — think Immortal, Shayura's Wrath, or the new BRAVE SMG. Its perk pool is deep, its base stats are excellent, and the Rangefinder + Target Lock combo covers both aggressive and methodical playstyles.
The main friction is Iron Banner's limited availability. You have a one-week window every month or so to farm rolls. If you miss it, you're waiting for the next rotation. My advice: when Iron Banner is live, prioritize your Cipher spending on the Multimach CCX if you don't have a PvP god roll yet. The PvE roll is more niche — only chase it if your build actually needs Orbs.
Final Thoughts
The Multimach CCX's return is a reminder that Iron Banner weapons still carry some of the most focused perk pools in Destiny 2. It's not flashy, it doesn't have an exotic catalyst, and it won't top damage charts. But it solves specific problems — Orb generation in PvE, consistent close-to-mid-range duels in PvP — with a reliability that few Kinetic SMGs match. If you see Iron Banner on the director, carve out a few hours. A god roll Multimach CCX stays in your vault for a long time.
