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
Still Hunt is one of the strongest snipers in the game, if not definitively the best. It’s main trait, Cayde’s Retribution, allows the gun to fire Golden Gun shots after landing enough headshots and/or picking up enough Orbs of Po
The Wraith Mines – South of the Lost Oasis and northwest of the Spine Burrows is the Wraith Mines. The eye is in the room with the drill to the right of the entrance. This spot can be reached through the excavation tunnels from the Terrabase Cha
While Precision Frame Auto Rifles haven’t always seen the most use in PvE, Prosecutor’s perks make it hard to ignore. Not only can it stack damage perks with Dragonfly in the first column, but its second column perks are great for PvE and PvP with Target Lock, Frenzy, and Voltshot. Additionally, this weapon has Rewind Rounds, which can help you secure kills on enemies with more health. Pairing this with Voltshot means that you will be more likely to proc your reloads yourself, and therefore are not only experiencing less downtime with your weapon but have more control over when you proc Volts
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
The Khvostov 7G-0X is a rare case of Kinetic weapons getting a good add-clear option, and the weapon is not only amazing at it, but the way it does it is uniquely lethal. Unlike most add-clear weapons, which typically cause explosive auras around targets to deal damage, this weapon has bullets that ricochet between multiple enemies at once. This places it in a unique position where it can add-clear around corners hitting enemies behind cover and not even visible to the pla
Javelin-4 is definitely among the favorites of Destiny 2 players. This map has a bit of everything like Altar of Flame, with roughly three different locations through which players can push depending on their play style. The indoor area has a ton of cover and the middle zone is the perfect spot for both close to long-range may
Vostok does not inspire joy for everyone, and that’s okay. Others are quite passionate about the map, located on a snowy, windswept summit. Visually, it’s beautiful, but there are several locations on the map that favor long-range camping with snipers. Some enjoy it, others loathe
Moreover, Sniper Rifles come in a wide range of varieties – from Kinetic variants to more specialized Energy and Power types. Players who want to add a degree of flair to their playing experience can add a Sniper Rifle to their Guardian’s arsenal. However, which ones are the b
Let’s not mince words here, the Destiny community was in this exact situation three years ago in the months leading up the release of The Taken King. It was to be sold for a price of $40 and required the installation of all previous DLC, even though House of Wolves did not require the Dark Below. Players at the time were outraged at both the price tag and the need to purchase a DLC that was seemingly only required because Bungie said so. One would think the developer would learn a lesson from this, and they did; it was just the wrong one. We are now approaching the second year of Destiny 2 news 2 and Bungie is showing us exactly what they’ve learned: that they can get away with it. Curse of Osiris is almost universally panned as being unworthy of players’ time and money. It isn’t required to play Warmind, offers hardly any mechanical changes and yet Bungie, without offering any explanation, says it will be required for Forsaken all the same. This would be bad enough by itself, but Bungie isn’t content to stop there; no, they’ve decided that they need to milk their players even more than they already are, and they’re going to do it with the “Annual Pass.”
What’s nice is that in the middle there’s a little cavernous spot that works best for players who prefer a more up-close-and-personal playstyle. It’s also nice cover from any of the taller high grounds where snipers and other long-range weapons can demolish players from afar. Overall, it’s definitely a map that mid to long-range players will enjoy m
