Cloudstrike is like a smaller Thunderlord in the Special Weapon slot. It has a lot of the same utility, but with the trade-off of being a Sniper Rifle as opposed to a Machine Gun. What this translates to is a Sniper that functions in both single-target sustained damage and ad-clear on lower damage thanks to its lightning stri
The Summoner probably has the most flexible perk pool on this list, sporting a myriad of reload perks as well as add-clear and single-target damage perks. Rolls like Subsistence and Overflow combined with Incandescent allow you to dish out Solar explosions and Scorch over a longer period of time, and perks like Heal Clip will allow you to heal yourself and allies after reloading. On the PvP side, The Summoner sports Zen Moment, Perpetual Motion, and Target Lock. Heal Clip is also good for proccing certain Solar Keywords, which can be made easier by perks like Onslaught, which will make you kill and reload faster than the gun’s intended base st
In addition to the new dungeon, Bungie also upped the rewards on their punishingly difficult Grandmaster Nightfall Ordeals. Players who get to the end of these mega-challenge missions in Destiny 2 are guaranteed to earn Ascendant Shards, the most coveted currency in the game. Bungie has shown that they want to encourage players to challenge themselves and are finally handing out the loot to justify the eff
Gnawing Hunger is Destiny 2 ’s ol’ reliable, standing the tests of time as one of the best auto rifles since its inception. Its most defining feature is its stability, which allows the gun to push ranges atypical for auto rifles while still being reliable. On top of this, its perk pool is a tight constriction of some of the best perks, with standout combinations like Subsistence and Demolitionist allowing the gun to integrate easily in builds built around the Void keywords and grenades, be that with the standard Void subclasses or Prismatic builds that rely on the elem
One of the more artistically savvy of the Sniper Rifles in the game, Beloved is easily one of the best Snipers in terms of reliability and consistency. Aside from impressive impact and aim assistance, the rifle also boasts one of the fastest RPMs in the game, making for a quick-hitting Sniper Rifle perfect for skirmis
Additionally, this weapon can add-clear even while focusing on a single target. While weapons that have Incandescent or Destabilising Rounds require you to kill multiple enemies to spread the debuff, this weapon is closer to something like Voltshot, which allows you to focus on one enemy, and let the add-clearing simply chain to the enemies around them. It is hard to put into words just how lethal this gun is, and with its perk Eye’s Up, Guardian that increases damage from orbs, Siphon mods put this gun into a whole other ballp
Its second column has Target Lock for PvP players, Frenzy for more reload, Hatchling for add-clear, and the raid perk Paracausal Affinity, which gives a 20% damage boost whenever a player gets a kill with that element. This makes the gun especially accessible for Strand users, or Prismatic users using Strand abilities because it will proc off of any basic kill. This weapon is a great pick for lovers of Quicksilver Storm who need to flex to another exo
Ever since its release in October of 2017, Activision’s Destiny 2 has become one of the most popular video games on the Xbox and PS4 consoles. In 2019, the game’s popularity skyrocketed when it became free-to-play online via Stadia and other cloud-based applications. The sequel to the 2014 game Destiny allows players to assume roles as Guardians, warriors protecting Earth’s last remaining safe city from a horde of malefic ali
The current Year 3 of Destiny 2 content has shown something very specific about player behavior: players love repeating content that is both challenging and rewarding. The current Season of Arrivals has done an excellent job of providing this through multiple avenues. Within hours of the release of the new season, a surprise dungeon activity, Prophecy , was activated for all players to enjoy. Prophecy is a very high-level mission balanced for three Guardians, but can be done solo with the right skill. What makes Prophecy so unique is that every encounter provides loot no matter how many times players run the dungeon in a given week. Historically, players have only been rewarded for their first clear of the mission once per week per character. Now players can farm endgame content for the best rolls on some of the best loot in the g
All things considered, the most powerful monster in Destiny 2 is the Taken Captain. Taken are comprised of any of the four factions — Cabal, Fallen, Hive, Vex — who have been manipulated by The Darkn
Updated on August 12th, 2024, by Nathan Halsey: Things in Destiny 2 have changed quite a bit since the release of The Final Shape, and this list has been updated to reflect that. While some of the weapons in the original publishing will be staying, many others have been powercrept, and have either lost their usefulness or are overshadowed by newer entries. It should also be noted that with the release of The Final Shape weapon sunsetting has been entirely reversed, meaning that any weapons in your vault or on your character are now usable, regardless of their age. While this list will outline the best of the Auto Rifles, don’t forget that the goal of the game is to have fun and that the old gun in your vault that looks cool will operate perfectly fine in most low-end missing PvE activities cont
