Using the best Destiny 2 PvE weapons makes beating the game’s most challenging content much easier. To help you overcome what lies ahead, you’ll want to be using these recommended meta guns in Episode Revenant.
Although off-meta weapons can be fun, it’s best to stick to the best Exotics and Legendary weapons when tackling harder content. The difference between an okay gun and a meta gun is huge, with your choice of loadout often being the lone reason why you clear a Raid & Dungeon or a GM Nightfall.
With so many perks and weapon frames, there are always going to be options that beat the competition. The PvE meta forms from these powerful guns, as well as the new weapons added in Revenant Act 1. Naturally, this season’s buffs and nerfs play a vital role too.
A weapon might excel because of its raw damage, incredible utility, or even a game breaking exploit. Regardless, using the best PvE weapons possible is going to make your life much easier, and these the guns we recommened to fill your Kinetic, Energy, and Heavy slots.
Best Top Slot Weapons for PvE (Kinetic, Stasis, Strand)
Primary Kinetic Weapons
Blast Furnace
- Weapon Type: Pulse Rifle
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Aggressive Burst
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Kinetic Tremors + Firefly/One for All
With Pulse Rifle being top tier in Revenant, Blast Furnace has become one of the best primary weapons in the game. It deals great damage and gets access to Kinetic Tremors in column 3, opening up the possibility of using multiple damage perks at the same time. The best part is that you can attune this at Commander Zavala for better odds, making it not just practical but actually fairly easy to farm.
Chroma Rush
- Weapon Type: Auto Rifle
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Rapid-Fire Frame
- Debut Season: Season 25 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Subsistence + Kinetic Tremors/Rampage
This classic Auto Rifle got a long overdue reissue in Revenant Act 1 and its new perk pool is excellent. With Rapid-Fire Frames being the best ARs in the game and Chroma Rush now getting access to Kinetic Tremors, this is the Kinetic AR that you’ll want to be using going forward, though Breakneck remains a great alternative for any Gambit players out there.
Midnight Coup
- Weapon Type: Hand Cannon
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Firefly + One for All
Hand Cannons have been some of the best weapons since they were buffed way back in Season 21, but there weren’t too many good choices at the time. The reprised version of Midnight Coup in Season 23 fixed that, bringing back a classic weapon with a refreshed perk pool, including Firefly in the third slot. Though Hand Cannons aren’t on the artifact this season, Midnight Coup is still an excellent option.
Multimach CCX
- Weapon Type: Submachine Gun
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Lightweight
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors
Multimach CCX is the best primary weapon for producing Orbs of Power in the game. The combination of Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors is incredible, with both perks synergizing with each other extremely well. If nothing else, this gun gives you a reason to farm Iron Banner when it is around, as even the most PvP-averse Guardian will want to add this incredible primary to their collection.
Warden’s Law
- Weapon Type: Hand Cannon
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Heavy Burst
- Debut Season: Season 24 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Fourth Time’s the Charm + Vorpal Weapon
Warden’s Law is strong regardless of how you use it, but this Hand Cannon truly comes into its own when paired with Lucky Pants. This combination lets Hunters reach unbelievable DPS values that can compete with, and often beat, even Heavy weapons. It also makes Warden’s Law by far the most damaging primary weapon in Destiny 2, even after Lucky Pants was nerfed in Revenant.
Special Kinetic Weapons
Liturgy
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Stasis
- Weapon Frame: Double Fire
- Debut Season: Season 25
- God Roll: Rimestealer/Slideways + Chill Clip/Chain Reaction
Added in Revenant, Liturgy is one of just three Double Fire GLs in the game and a direct upgrade for Lingering Dread. This newcomer rolls some extremely good perks, with Rimestealer + Chill Clip being excellent for Stasis builds, and Slideways + Chain Reaction being the go-to for general use. Regardless of what loadout you are using, Liturgy is always a great option and well worth farming.
Lost Signal
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Stasis
- Weapon Frame: Area Denial Frame
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Lead From Gold/Stats For All + One For All
Lost Signal was Destiny’s first Area Denial Frame GL, bringing a new add-clear option to the ever-growing sandbox. This is effectively a legendary Witherhoard, leaving behind damaging pools that take out enemies who step in them. Though Lost Signal is strong, this frame’s true potential will only be unlocked once one of these can roll Chain Reaction. In the meantime, this debutant will serve you well.
Perfect Paradox
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Rapid-Fire Frame
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Pugilist + One-Two Punch
Shotguns with Puglist and One-Two Punch have been a staple of Destiny’s meta for years, and Perfect Paradox is the best option to fill that role. Not only does it get access to enhanced versions of both perks, but it also has an origin trait that loads ammo from reserves after melee final blows. This natural synergy and its Rapid-Fire Frame make this a must for anyone playing a melee build in Revenant.
Scatter Signal
- Weapon Type: Fusion Rifle
- Element: Strand
- Weapon Frame: Rapid-Fire Frame
- Debut Season: Season 23
- God Roll: Overflow + Controlled Burst
Scatter Signal is one of the most popular top slot weapons, largely thanks to its impressive damage. It can even be used as a utility weapon, with Slice severing combatants and weakening their damage output by 40%. This versatility makes it no surprise that Scatter Signal has emerged as one of the best PvE weapons, as well as the best overall Fusion Rifle in the current meta.
The Call
- Weapon Type: Sidearm
- Element: Strand
- Weapon Frame: Rocket-Assisted Frame
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Lead From Gold/Beacon Rounds + Desperate Measures/One For All
Indebted Kindness set the stage for Rocket Sidearms to take over the Energy meta, and now The Call has arrived to do the same for Kinetic weapons. Its perk pool is nothing too special, but the frame itself is so strong that it hardly matters. This is currently the best Strand Special weapon in the sandbox, but nerfs in Revenant have brought it more in line with other options.
Exotic Kinetic Weapons
Ager’s Sceptre
- Weapon Type: Trace Rifle
- Element: Stasis
- Exotic Perks: Ager’s Call, Rega’s Refrain
- Catalyst: Will Given Form
- Debut Season: Season 15
Whenever Stasis is meta, Ager’s Sceptre is never far behind. With Revenant focused so heavily on Stasis builds, it was inevitable that this frosty Trace Rifle would make a return, and it’s even better than before, as the dominant Special weapon can now produce Frost Armor courtesy of the Wind Chill artifact perk. That gives it more utility, which was an area it already excelled in anyway.
Alethonym
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Stasis
- Exotic Perks: Harvester Spike
- Catalyst: N/A
- Debut Season: Season 25
Alethonym is the second-ever primary ammo Grenade Launcher, and it’s a beast. It has great add clear, freezes targets to synergize with Stasis builds, and can even produce Heavy ammo for your team, giving it great utility in high-end content. It already looks incredible, and we don’t even know its catalyst yet, so we can only imagine how strong this is going to be in Act 2.
Outbreak Perfected
- Weapon Type: Pulse Rifle
- Element: Kinetic
- Exotic Perks: The Corruption Spreads, Parasitism
- Catalyst: Headseeker, Rewind Rounds, Rapid Hit, or Outlaw
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
Statistically speaking, Outbreak Perfected is the best DPS primary weapon in the game, not including Lucky Pants. The sheer damage that this Exotic’s parasites deal was always impressive, but the huge Pulse Rifle buffs in The Final Shape and the addition of Rewind Rounds with its craftable variant have elevated this gun to top-tier status.
The Huckleberry
- Weapon Type: Submachine Gun
- Element: Kinetic
- Exotic Perks: Ride the Bull, Rampage
- Debut Season: Season 3
- Catalyst: Kinetic Tremors
The Huckleberry received a huge buff in Revenant Act 1 that has taken it from irrelevance to undeniable significance. This Kinetic SMG now fully reloads after each final blow and has gained Kinetic Tremors as its catalyst, allowing it to take down even the tankiest of targets. With Overload Submachine Gun on this season’s artifact, this forgotten Exotic is now one of the best Exotic weapons you can use.
Witherhoard
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Kinetic
- Weapon Frame: Lightweight
- Debut Season: Season 11
- Catalyst: Silent Alarm
Rather than being overpowered, Witherhoard’s real strength is its versatility. It can be used for overtime damage against bosses, for clearing adds, and to inflict the Blighted debuff. Even better, in Episode Revenant, the Concussive Reload artifact mod lets it apply Weaken too using this Exotic, making this the ultimate utility weapon for the season ahead.
Best Energy Weapons for PvE (Arc, Solar, Void)
Primary Energy Weapons
Corrasion
- Weapon Type: Pulse Rifle
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Heavy Burst
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Enlightened Action + One For All/Voltshot
Heavy Burst Pulse Rifles are performing extremely well in the current meta, outperforming every other primary weapon frame. As such, Corrasion is a must-craft weapon, providing both incredible DPS and a stacked perk pool. Though Enlightened Action + Voltshot is probably the best all-purpose roll, any combination of One For All, Swashbuckler, Pugilist, Perpetual Motion, and Frenzy will be strong too.
No Hesitation
- Weapon Type: Auto Rifle
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: Support
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Physic + Incandescent/Circle of Life
Originally written off as a gimmick gun, No Hesitation has since proven itself to be a genuinely top-tier Auto Rifle. Rather than just being a gun that can heal, it is an add-clearing machine that can also heal, both yourself and your teammates at that. That makes it a wonderful utility weapon and one of the very few legendary weapons that feels Exotic by nature.
Ros Arago IV
- Weapon Type: Auto Rifle
- Element: Void
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 23
- God Roll: Rewind Rounds + Onslaught
Adaptive frame Auto Rifles don’t see that much use. The frame’s slower fire rate doesn’t feel great to use, but what would happen if you took this frame and gave it some way to shoot faster? You’d end up with Ros Arago IV. This powerhouse is undoubtedly meta, as it outputs DPS comparable to a Trace Rifle when it ramps up, which is incredible for a primary weapon.
Vantage Point
- Weapon Type: Pulse Rifle
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 25
- God Roll: Stats For All + Jolting Feedback
Jolting Feedback is a new perk that is only on a small handful on weapons, including Vantage Point. It is basically Voltshot but doesn’t require a reload, which is absurdly strong. Any gun that gets this perk will be viable, so the fact a Pulse Rifle got it is crazy. This frame was already performing very well, and now it feels even better.
Zaouli’s Bane
- Weapon Type: Hand Cannon
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 18
- God Roll: Explosive Payload + Incandescent
Even though Revenant’s seasonal artifact isn’t that beneficial for Solar, Zaouli’s Bane remains one of the best PvE weapons. While several Hand Cannons are great in the current meta, Zaouli’s Bane is the best all-purpose option, as Explosive Payload lets it deal with tankier enemies in a way its competitors just can’t, while Incandescent gives this Hand Cannon serious add clear potential.
Special Energy Weapons
Aberrant Action
- Weapon Type: Sidearm
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: Rocket-Assisted
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Heal Clip/Ambitious Assassin + Incandescent
Say hello to by far the best seasonal weapon from Echoes. Aberrant Action is a Solar version of Indebted Kindness, with Voltshot being swapped out for the equally brilliant Incandescent. You won’t want to wait around to craft this, as this is easily one of the best guns in the game, even after Rocket Sidearms were nerfed and Solar is not a focus in Revenant. It’s so good neither of those really matter.
Forbearance
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Wave Frame
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Ambitious Assassin + Chain Reaction
Wave Frames were nerfed in The Final Shape, but that doesn’t mean they are bad by any means. This meta-defining Grenade Launcher is still incredibly easy to use, and once you procc Chain Reaction, nothing will remain standing as the explosions chain from one enemy to another. When your Fireteam says that they need more add-clear, this is usually the weapon you’ll want to be switching to.

Indebted Kindness
- Weapon Type: Sidearm
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Rocket-Assisted Frame
- Debut Season: Season 23
- God Roll: Beacon Rounds/Lead from Gold + Voltshot
The Warlord’s Ruin dungeon added Indebted Kindness, which was the first-ever Rocket Pistol. Since then, others like The Call and Aberrant Action have followed suit, building on its initial success, but even now, this Arc Sidearm is still one of the best weapons you can use. Its add clear capabilities with Voltshot, overall damage output, and excellent ammo economy make it impossible to overlook.
Sojourner’s Tale
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: Pinpoint Slug
- Debut Season: Season 25 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Heal Clip + Swashbuckler/Incandescent
Shotguns were already given a big buff in Revenant, as their damage falloff was massively reduced. This alone would have been huge, but this stacked reprisal of Sojourner’s Tale has guaranteed their presence in the meta. Giving Heal Clip to a shotgun is something truly special, and you can partner that with Swashbuckler for melee builds or Incandescent for add clear.
VS Velocity Baton
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Void
- Weapon Frame: Area Denial Frame
- Debut Season: Season 25
- God Roll: Demolitionist/Repulsor Brace + Attrition Orbs
Of all the weapons added in Vesper’s Host, VS Velocity Baron is the best, with this Void GL producing more Orbs of Power than any other weapon in the game. The combination of Attrition Orbs and an Area Denial Frame is incredible, making this gun the perfect choice for building ability energy and upkeeping buffs using Orbs.
Exotic Energy Weapons
Buried Bloodline
- Weapon Type: Sidearm
- Element: Kinetic
- Exotic Perks: Hungering Quarrel, Violent Reanimation
- Catalyst: Splitvein Lineage
- Debut Season: Season 23
Rocket Pistols are cool and all, but this Exotic takes things a step further by offering Devour and life steal on demand. With its catalyst equipped, Buried Bloodline can even weaken enemies too, giving it fantastic utility. This is a workhorse Exotic that works well with just about any build, but especially well with a dedicated Void loadout.
Choir of One
- Weapon Type: Auto Rifle
- Element: Void
- Exotic Perks: Command Frame, Fanatical Lance
- Catalyst: Onslaught, Destabilizing Rounds, or Subsistence.
- Debut Season: Season 24
Destiny’s first Auto Rifle to use Special ammo did not disappoint, serving as a far superior alternative to the long-forgotten Cerberus+1. Like Cerberus, Choir of One can either be used as both an Auto Rifle and Shotgun. Unlike Cerberus, this gun hits incredibly hard, being capable of dealing over 3 million damage in a single phase against Phry’zhia, which rivals some of the best Heavy weapons in the sandbox.
Divinity
- Weapon Type: Trace Rifle
- Element: Arc
- Exotic Perks: Judgment, Penance
- Catalyst: N/A
- Debut Season: Season 8
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why Divinity is so popular. This Exotic Trace Rifle can debuff enemies to take 15% more damage from all sources, stuns Overload Champions, and makes it easier to deal precision damage to most targets. It’s so strong that in many Raid encounters, not running at least one Divinity is considered throwing, even after its substantial nerf in The Final Shape.
Fighting Lion
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Void
- Exotic Perks: Delayed Gratification, Thin the Herd
- Catalyst: Chimera
- Debut Season: Season 1
You probably never expected to see another Fighting Lion meta; at least we sure didn’t. However, it was buffed in Revenant to make defeated combatants Volatile, which has unironically made it an excellent add-clear primary weapon. Its high burst damage also lets you shred through both red bars and yellow bars with ease, both in easy and high-end content alike.
Still Hunt
- Weapon Type: Sniper Rifle
- Element: Solar
- Exotic Perks: Cayde’s Retribution, Sharpshooter
- Catalyst: N/A
- Debut Season: Season 24
Still Hunt is Golden Gun in a Sniper Rifle. What more is there to say? Oh, it works with Celestial Nighthawk too and hits nearly as hard as the actual Super, even after the numerous nerfs. It’s possible to chain these throughout boss fights for some comical DPS, which is why it has been dominating loadouts. Admittedly, Solar is less powerful in Revenant, but we don’t see this gun leaving the meta regardless.
Best Heavy Weapons for PvE
DPS Heavy Weapons
Bitter/Sweet
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 25
- God Roll: Envious Arsenal + Bait and Switch/Cascade Point
With Reconstruction and Auto-Loading Holster both nerfed, Envious Arsenal has taken their place as the best reloading perk for DPS rotations. Not many guns roll it yet, but Bitter/Sweet does and is one of the best Heavy weapons for bosses as a result. The best part is that this Heavy GL is easy to farm, being a drop from Revenant’s seasonal activities, so you should have no real problems getting your god roll.
Cataphract GL3
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Strand
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 22
- God Roll: Envious Assassin/Auto-Loading Holster + Bait and Switch
Cataphract GL3 is the only Trials of Osiris weapon on this list, as we usually try to avoid recommending PvP exclusive guns. However, there’s no getting around how good this gun is, with it easily being the best Strand Heavy weapon in the sandbox. It might be a pain to farm, but if you can get this gun with Bait and Swtich, your DPS is sure to skyrocket in no time.
Crux Termination IV
- Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Aggressive
- Debut Season: Season 23
- God Roll: Reconstruction + Explosive Light/Bipod
What on Earth was Bungie cooking when they came up with Crux Termination IV? Despite being a world drop, this Arc Rocket Launcher is spectacularly strong, featuring all kinds of meta-defining rolls. It straight-up outclasses almost every raid, dungeon, and GM Nightfall weapon. The bad news is that it’s a world drop, but if you happen to get a god roll Crux Termination IV, you’ve won the lottery.
Edge Transit
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Void
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Envious Assassin + Bait and Switch
Heavy Grenade Launchers have been lurking around the meta for a little while. The first glimpse of their potential came with Cataphract GL3, but with the Strand HGL being exclusive to Trials of Osiris, most players didn’t bother farming it. Thankfully, Edge Transit offers the exact same god roll while being easier to get, and now that attunement is back in Onslaught, it’s nice and easy to farm again.
VS Chill Inhibitor
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Stasis
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 25
- God Roll: Cascade Point/Envious Arsenal + Bait and Switch
If absolute DPS is your goal, you can’t do better than VS Chill Inhibitor. This new dungeon Heavy GL rolls both Cascade Point & Bait and Switch, making it just the second weapon to do so after Edge Transit. However, VS Chill Inhibitor has a big advantage over its Void rival, which is that Revenant is very much a Stasis-focused season.
Add-clear Heavy Weapons
Commemoration
- Weapon Type: Machine Gun
- Element: Void
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 12
- God Roll: Reconstruction + Killing Tally
While it’s no longer the undisputed best Machine Gun, Commemoration remains a fantastic PvE weapon for add-clear. Watch any high-level player in Raids who is on add-clear duty, and they will probably be using this. Being able to procc Killing Tally, and retain stacks thanks to Reconstruction, makes this an easy S-tier weapon.
Hammerhead
- Weapon Type: Machine Gun
- Element: Void
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- God Roll: Rampage/Rewind Rounds + Killing Tally
Commemoration dominated the Machine Gun meta for eleven seasons. However, Hammerhead’s return has seen it compete head-to-head. It’s a close call as which is better, with both Machine Guns being incredibly strong at what they do. Commemoration probably just about wins, but Hammerhead is a fine alternative that delivers in everything from Contest Mode raids to Vanguard Ops.
Pro Memoria
- Weapon Type: Machine Gun
- Element: Strand
- Weapon Frame: Aggressive
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Reconstruction + Firefly
This was the game’s first Aggressive Frame Machine Gun, and its 600 RPM fire rate feels really strong at medium range, especially with Firefly. Will it replace Commemoration as the go-to LMG? Probably not, but Pro Memoria is still a superb option for those who don’t enjoy raiding but still want make meaningful contributions to their team.
Song of Ir Yût
- Weapon Type: Machine Gun
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 22
- God Roll: Reconstruction/Rewind Rounds + Sword Logic
Available as a craftable weapon from Crota’s End, this Machine Gun is damn ugly. Even though it’s not exactly a looker, Song of Ir Yût’s effectiveness cannot be disputed. In many ways, this is the Arc version of Commemoration, with Sword Logic taking the place of Killing Tally. It’s not quite as good as the Void Machine Guns on this list, but during an Arc Surge, this LMG becomes an add-clear monster.
Speleologist
- Weapon Type: Machine Gun
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: Rapid-Fire
- Debut Season: Season 24
- God Roll: Envious Assassin+ Incandescent/Killing Tally
We’ll be the first to admit, we wrote this off as a meme gun when it was added. Bungie literally gave it Heal Clip, so how can you take it seriously? However, Incandescent on a 900 RPM Machine Gun gets some serious work done, with it being capable of melting through waves of adds. It could be better, and we still need a truly top-tier Solar LMG, but Speleologist is way better than most people give it credit.
Exotic Heavy Weapons
Dragon’s Breath
- Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: High-Impact
- Debut Season: Season 23
- Catalyst: Pyromancer
From Anarchy to Witherhoard, weapons that deal overtime damage have always featured in Destiny’s meta. Given this, it’s no surprise that Dragon’s Breath is so popular. Fire a shot, switch to a Special DPS weapon, switch back, and shoot again. All you have to do is follow this simple rotation to output some of the best DPS possible.
The Prospector
- Weapon Type: Grenade Launcher
- Element: Arc
- Exotic Perks: Excavation, Full Auto Trigger System
- Catalyst: Deeper Pockets
- Debut Season: Season 1
In Echoes, there was an argument to be made that The Prospector was the worst Exotic. It was seriously overdue a buff, and it finally got one in Revenant. Following the buff, its projectiles now explode on impact and release a cluster, resulting in a lot more damage per shot and add clear potential than before. If you aren’t going to use a Machine Gun, this reworked Exotic is your next best option.
Thunderlord
- Weapon Type: Machine Gun
- Element: Arc
- Weapon Frame: Adaptive
- Debut Season: Season 4
- Catalyst: Return Stroke
No, Thunderlord is not a good boss DPS weapon. Whoever is telling you otherwise is trolling or ill-informed. However, it is a genuine jack-of-all-trades Exotic with no real downside. From taking out champions to mowing down hundreds of combatants, there’s not too much that this lightning-spewing Machine Gun can’t do.
Tractor Cannon
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
- Element: Void
- Weapon Frame: Unique (80 RPM)
- Debut Season: Season 1
- Catalyst: +3 Magazine, +50 Inventory Size
Similar to Divinity, Tractor Cannon is a utility weapon that debuffs enemies. After being shot by this bizarre-looking Exotic, combatants take 30% more damage from all sources. That makes Tractor Cannon a fantastic option to suppress bosses and let your team deal a lot more damage. It can even be partnered with another shotgun with One-Two Punch and Synthoceps for some remarkable numbers.
Whisper of the Worm
- Weapon Type: Sniper Rifle
- Element: Solar
- Weapon Frame: Unique (80 RPM)
- Debut Season: Season 23 (Reprised)
- Catalyst: Whispered Breathing
Assuming you can land precision hits over and over, which is a lot easier following the Sniper Rifle buffs in Revenant, Whisper of the Worm is a top-tier DPS weapon. It isn’t too forgiving and just isn’t viable in some encounters, but where it excels, it is very strong. You can even craft it these days and pick what perks you want, with No Distractions usually being your best option.
That’s everything you need to know about the best PvE weapons in Destiny 2. For more meta breakdowns, check out the Best PvP Weapons, as well as what Grenade Launchers have benefitted most from this season’s artifact and all of the Tonics which you can create in Episode Revenant.
