Destiny 2 Best Weapons

D2 Best Weapons

The total run of Destiny 2 has been divided into Seasons. Folks at Bungie like to start a new Season every several months, with every Season bringing new content to the game. It’s mainly story-based, but they always bring new gear and rebalance the old items. Because of this, the power balance of weapons always changes, and new meta emerges with every patch. Some guns are universally beloved, such as Eyes of Tomorrow, or the Summoner, Destiny 2’s finest picks for PvE and PvP content. Guardians keep track of the meta as weapons rise and fade from popularity. The D2 Best Weapons section will offer you a curated selection of the best guns Destiny 2 offers at any particular moment.

Best Exotics Destiny 2 Weapons

Your best bet at acquiring the most impressive firepower in the game is to do Raids. It’s difficult, but it’s totally worth it! Here is a list of some of the best Exotics and where to find them:

• Vex Mythoclast: a Fusion Rifle that drops from the Vault of Glass Raid. It is very fun in PvE, and its alternate fire mode is very effective against enemies in PvP;
• One Thousand Voices: a Fusion Rifle that drops from the Last Wish Raid. It’s a devastating weapon with limited ammo reserves thad does AoE attacks, so it’s great against both PvE bosses and PvP opponents;
• Divinity: a Trace Rifle that drops from a special quest in the Garden of Salvation Raid. It doesn’t deal the most damage, but it makes targets take more damage from other sources, so it’s essential for any activity, if your fireteam is coordinated;
• Anarchy: a Grenade Launcher that drops from Scourge of the Past Raid. It is the best grenade launcher destiny 2 has available in PvE, but it doesn’t perform as well in PvP, unless you know what you’re doing and have a lot of ammo drops available;
• Eyes of Tomorrow: a Rocket Launcher that drops from the Deep Stone Crypt Raid. It’s excellent both in PvE and PvP with tracking rockets and an easy perk that lasts for a long time.

Best Legendary Weapons in Destiny 2

The next best thing after Exotic, these Legendaries are the meat and potatoes of every good loadout. With the random rolling perks, there is a lot of variety, so you can adapt your gun for your playstyle out of several God Roll combinations. These God Rolls are a community-curated list of the perks that give the best benefits, and there are usually a number of them, because everyone has different tastes. You really should explore and try for yourself, but here are our picks based on our experience and what we read online.

• Hung Jury SR4: a Scout Rifle that is universally beloved and presents a wide variety of viable perks. It is probably the best Scout Rifle Destiny can offer, even though Scout Rifles as a category are somewhat lacking;
• The Summoner: an Auto Rifle that is extremely effective in PvP and it presents a perfect accompaniment for slow-firing crowd control Exotics. It’s one of the best Auto Rifles Destiny 2 has right now;
• The Messenger: a Kinetic Rifle that is also very effective for PvP with very quick time to kill and a very valuable Desperado perk. It fits very snugly into Destiny 2 PvP meta;
• The Palindrome: a Hand Cannon that is a solid choice for both PvE and PvP. It’s a serious contender for the title of the best Hand Cannon Destiny 2 PvP has;
• Salvager’s Salvo: a Grenade Launcher that works extremely well for PvE. If you like killing a lot of enemies very quickly, this might be the best Grenade Launcher Destiny 2 has for you.
