The Destiny franchise has come up a long way since its original release in 2022. What started as a apprehensive FPS game with some faint traces of MMO gameplay has become a full-fledged MMORPG that values character building and teamwork for some of its hardest content. The conversation of meta weapons never stops in Destiny 2, and while sandboxes are e'er changing, these exotics will ever be a safe choice in all facets of Destiny ii content.

  • Banshee'south Wail – Concord block to rev upwards blade. Once revved, all harm is increased and continues to increase with consecutive hits. Also pierces barrier shields.
  • Revved Consumption – Damaging a combatant heals the wielder.

Since its release with Destiny 2: Beyond Light, The Lament has been the go-to exotic sword for DPS. If there is a boss or champion within sword range, The Lament will shred through their HP faster than any other sword in the game. It performs even better when more than guardians around y'all are using information technology, making information technology the piece of cake choice for certain raid encounters such as Atraks-1 in the Deep Rock Catacomb. If that wasn't enough, information technology is too quite like shooting fish in a barrel to obtain through a short quest.

4. Whisper of the Worm

  • White Blast – Higher base precision damage. Rapidly landing three precision hits will refill the mag.
  • Mulligan – Missing a shot has a take a chance to render ammo directly to the magazine.

Some things simply never modify, and Whisper of the Worm is 1 of those. No matter what rendition of the weapon is being used, the White Nail perk will always be one of the all-time for consistent boss DPS. That said, it tin can be sometimes hard to get maximum impairment numbers if your target is moving around or has a small disquisitional spot. Due to that, it's best to use Whisper of the Worm on bosses that stay withal and have a long harm phase.

iii. One Grand Voices

  • Ahamkara'due south Center – Charging this weapon unleashes a behemothic continuous beam of death.
  • Unforeseen Repercussions – This weapon'southward beam superheats its targets upon impact, causing delayed explosions.

For a while, K Voices was ane of the most sought-afterwards exotics in the game due to its power, design, and potential when used with the correct build. While more than guardians have gotten their hands on the heavy fusion burglarize, that doesn't mean it has lost any of its boss DPS power. With the right mods, One Grand Voices is a fantastic choice for ranged sustained DPS for both group and solo content. Do be careful where you lot are aiming it though.

2. Gjallarhorn

  • Wolfpack Rounds – Rounds fired split into tracking cluster missiles upon detonation.
  • Pack Hunter – Proceeds increased handling and reload speed when standing virtually allies. Firing this weapon besides grants Wolfpack Rounds to nearby allies wielding non-Exotic Rocket Launchers.

When long time Destiny players first heard almost the return of Gjallarhorn, everyone'southward reaction was the same — will information technology be equally good? The respond is yes, and in some means, information technology'south even better than before. Undoubtedly the best exotic rocket launcher in the game, Gjallarhorn really excels when used in conjunction with teammates using other rocket launchers such equally The Hothead and Royal Entry. Ane teammate with Gjallarhorn allows these rocket launchers to become some of the all-time DPS options in the game.

1. Sleeper Simulant

  • Dornröschen – The weapon's light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation overpenetrates enemies and refracts off hard surfaces.
  • Moving Target – Increased movement speed and target acquisition when moving while aiming down sights.

The male monarch has retaken the throne. It is difficult to justify not using Sleeper Simulant for DPS in the current sandbox of Destiny 2. Whether you're trying to solo the new Grasp of Avarice dungeon or speed your mode through the Vault of Glass raid, Sleeper Simulant can stay equipped in your inventory through it all. Combined with its goad and a few mods, Sleeper Simulant outputs damage numbers that are unparalleled, only watch out for rogue lasers.
