There are so many weapons in Destiny 2 that it can be hard to know which are best suited for PVE, Crucible, or Gambit. You’ve got a bank full of weapons, sure, but which ones should you actually be using? While it’s possible to just hop into PVE and see what your teammates are using, that’s not a fun way to figure out what’s what. So here we are, sharing the best PVE weapons in the current meta so that you can work out your loadout before diving into your next strike or dungeon.
Further, while all the listed weapons are solid, remember that certain perks, builds, and loadout combinations will make some much more powerful than others in some instances.

Process
We based our picks on a combination of a few different sources. The primary one is the Charlemagne Discord bot, which, among other things, reports the current meta and tracks weapon popularity for each game mode. We also use general community consensus from the Destiny subreddit, PVE weapon meta statistics from the TRN Tracker Network, and our own PVE experiences.

Destiny 2 Best PVE Kinetic Weapons
SMG
Osteo Striga
Osteo Striga remains uncontested as one of the best and most fun to use guns in the game. When combined with the catalyst, it’s entirely possible for you to mow down waves of enemies — both major and minor — without reloading. The weapon returns much more ammo than others, often leaving you with over 100 rounds in the clip. It’s a stupidly powerful SMG that’s only enhanced when combined with Exotics like Necrotic Grips, which makes spreading the poison even easier.

- Craftable: Yes.
Submission
This Vow of the Disciple raid weapon is a strong option that you can craft with some solid trait combinations. It also has the best possible recoil for an SMG, making it a top contender for aggressive playstyles.
- Submission (Adept) - How to Get, God Rolls
- Source: Vow of the Disciple raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Bow
Wish-Ender
Wish-Ender is an extremely good bow in endgame activities. It’s capable of decimating Champion-tier enemies and dealing significant single-target damage. Even though it’s not the flashiest weapon in the game, you should try this bow for endgame content.
- Destiny 2 Wish-Ender Guide
- Source: Hunter's Remembrance quest from Petra Venj and defeat three secret bosses in Shattered Throne.
- Craftable: No.
Auto Rifle
Rufus’s Fury
Rufus’s Fury remains one of the best Legendary auto rifles out there. Tied to the Root of Nightmares raid, Rufus’s Fury rolls with exceptional perks, giving it a ton of flexibility.
- Rufus's Fury Guide - God Roll & How to Get It
- Source: Root of Nightmares raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Quicksilver Storm
Quicksilver Storm exploded in popularity with the catalyst that changes it to a Strand firearm. One of the best ways to consistently create Tangles in the game, Quicksilver Storm is now a go-to weapon.

Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo is seeing a resurgence in PVE content and remains strong, even if newer weapons tend to dominate the meta around their release.

- Craftable: No.
Perpetualis
If you don’t want to burn your Exotic slot but also haven’t gotten your hands on a solid Rufus’s Fury roll, you can also lean into Perpetualis, a Strand auto rifle you can craft with the Hatchling perk to spawn Threadlings.
- Perpetualis - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore

- Craftable: Yes.
Necrochasm
Crota's End raiders are having a field day with Necrochasm, which triggers Cursed Thrall explosions that also refill the weapon's magazine. Due to its inherent ad-killing potential, it's been a top pick since Bungie dropped its newest reprised raid.

- Craftable: No.
Pulse Rifle
Outbreak Perfected
Outbreak Perfected continues to dominate the charts due to the catalyst and its overall stats. Rarely is there a situation where Outbreak Perfected isn’t one of the best choices, as it boasts terrific range and damage while synergizing wonderfully with anyone else using the gun. Seriously, you can’t overlook the damage increases you get from multiple Outbreaks. There’s a reason this is an excellent choice during day-one raids.

- Craftable: No.
Hand Cannon
Fatebringer
A large segment of the Destiny 2 player base will use hand cannons, whether meta or not, just because so many of them feel so good to use. Among the numerous solid hand cannon options, Fatebringer, both Adept and regular, remains among the most popular. The weapon has so much history that it will be hard for many players to overcome that and trade it away for something else.
- Fatebringer Guide - Fatebringer God Roll & How to Get

- Craftable: No.
Austringer
If you don’t have Fatebringer, Austringer is craftable, so after you unlock the pattern, you can piece together your perfect god roll.

Kept Confidence
With a major PVE hand cannon buff in Destiny 2 Season 22, Guardians are having a hell of a time with the all-new Kept Confidence, which is Season of the Witch's Strand hand cannon.
- Kept Confidence - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Season of the Witch engrams.
- Craftable: Yes.
Ace of Spades
If you’re down for using your Exotic slot on a kinetic hand cannon, Ace of Spades will grant you a few higher-damage bullets after reloading. Plus, it just feels great to use, making it a reliable choice for PVE activities.
- Ace of Spades - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Monument to Lost Lights.
- Craftable: No.
Malfeasance
Malfeasance has exploding rounds and does extra damage against Taken. While it's a favorite weapon to many, it also now has a catalyst that grants it Vorpal Weapon, thereby allowing it to do more damage to bosses and vehicles.

- Source: Gambit drop.
- Craftable: No.
Fusion Rifle
Deliverance
Deliverance is a Stasis fusion rifle from the Vow of the Disciple raid. This weapon is already highly potent and capable of rolling with both Demolitionist and Chill Clip. The ability to craft it and add enhanced perks takes it over the top, making it even more powerful. It’s a popular choice for those who prefer an energy primary weapon.
- Deliverance Guide - Deliverance God Roll & How to Get It
- Source: Vow of the Disciple raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Riptide
Riptide is also here for the same reasons as Deliverance, as this Stasis fusion rifle is an absolute monster against Champions and perfect for those looking to grind challenging activities.
- Riptide - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Season of the Witch engrams.
- Craftable: No.
Linear Fusion Rifle
Arbalest
Arbalest has been a go-to DPS weapon for a good time now. Even with a 15% damage nerf in late 2022, it’s still a solid choice for those big baddies you can’t seem to take down. It’s inherently strong against Barrier Champions. The catalyst adds a handling buff and upgrades it so that breaking an enemy’s shields will fill its magazine from reserves. Also, The catalyst perk causes energy weapons to regenerate ammo when matching damage types to enemy shields. It’s no wonder the game’s best players still rely on this weapon in endgame content.
- Arbalest - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Exotic engrams.
- Craftable: No
Trace Rifle
Ager’s Scepter
When it comes to trace rifles, there aren’t a ton of top-tier options. Ager’s Scepter is one of the best trace rifles in Destiny 2. The Exotic Stasis weapon boasts unparalleled crowd control, allowing the user to easily freeze and slow mass groups of enemies. This makes it terrific for endgame or high-difficulty content where you cannot instantly slay every foe that crosses your path.
- Ager's Scepter - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Monument to Lost Lights.
- Craftable: No.
Grenade Launcher
Witherhoard
Witherhoard is the best non-power weapon grenade launcher, making it a go-to if you aren’t using another Exotic. Its capacity to deal direct damage and control chokepoints makes it a super good tool for most loadouts. Grandmaster Nightfalls, dungeons, raids, you name it. Witherhoard continues to be a go-to for any type of PVE content for casual and serious players.
- Witherhoard - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Monument to Lost Lights.
- Craftable: No.
Shotgun
Conditional Finality
Conditional Finality is a double-barrel shotgun you can earn from the Root of Nightmares raid, though you may need to complete some triumphs to improve its drop rate. Capable of both Freezing enemies with Stasis and Igniting them with Solar ignitions, this weapon packs a punch. Dealing high damage at the cost of range, Conditional Finality is a surprisingly adaptive weapon that bulldozes through Champions thanks to its immediate freeze upon hitting an enemy with the majority of the pellets. This alone would make it strong, but you can also ignite foes with the second round and turn them into a big Solar bomb.
- How to Get Conditional Finality in Destiny 2 — Root of Nightmares
- Source: Root of Nightmares raid.
- Craftable: No.
Heritage
Heritage is no Conditional Finality, but it’s great for doing close-range DPS boss damage. It is craftable with perk combinations like Reconstruction, which causes it to reload itself over time, and Recombination, where elemental final blows increase the next shot’s overall damage.
- Heritage - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Deep Stone Crypt raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Sniper Rifle
Izanagi’s Burden
Izanagi’s Burden is a solid burst damage weapon that shoots like a laser and works wonders in almost any difficult endgame activity.
- Izanagi's Burden - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats
- Source: Monument to Lost Lights.
- Craftable: No.
Destiny 2 Best PVE Energy Weapons
Sidearm
Brigand's Law
Beloved by many, Brigand’s Law is an Arc sidearm that is disgusting with Arc subclasses. Much of this is thanks to Voltshot, which Jolts nearby targets whenever you kill an enemy after reloading. It’s superb, allowing you to swiftly slay multiple enemies simultaneously, which is usually a problem with other sidearms. You can also craft it, allowing players to select the exact perks they want, alleviating the grind for a god roll.

- Craftable: Yes.
Submachine Gun
IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.3
The IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.3 is simply one of the game's best SMGs. The hard-hitting Arc weapon has limited recoil and can roll with Feeding Frenzy and Voltshot, and combining it with an Arc subclass can trigger all sorts of complementary effects. The only way you can currently get it is from Xur, so keep an eye on him and his offerings.
- IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.3 - How to Get, God Rolls
- Source: Banshee-44 and Xur when available.
- Craftable: Yes.
Funnelweb
Funnelweb, a “baby” version of the highly utilized Recluse pinnacle weapon, remains among the most popular SMGs in the game. Much of this is thanks to its deep perk pool. It’s a superstar if you can get the coveted Frenzy perk, which increases damage while in combat.
- Funnelweb Guide - Funnelweb God Roll & How to Get It
- Source: Banshee-44 or Xur when available.
- Craftable: No.
CALUS Mini-Tool
The CALUS Mini-Tool feels great to use, and you can craft it with Incandescent, a trait that causes Scorch to spread to nearby foes whenever one is defeated. Perfect for keeping the damage rolling, particularly when leveraged with Solar subclass synergies.
- CALUS Mini-Tool Guide - God Roll & How to Get It
- Source: Banshee-44 or Xur when available.
- Craftable: Yes.
Riskrunner
Riskrunner remains one of the game’s best SMGs, as it absolutely shreds. This is true especially when Arc enemies trigger its Arc Conductor Exotic perk, which causes it to become more powerful and resist incoming Arc damage. Kills extend this overcharged state, and its complementary Supercharged trait means it can then chain lightning and return ammo. The catalyst extends this weapon’s range considerably. This can be one of the best weapons for PVE ad-clear and farming sessions.
- Riskrunner - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Exotic engrams.
- Craftable: No.
Bow
Le Monarque
Despite taking up an Exotic slot, Le Monarque is a solid bow option that can quickly wipe out hordes of enemies with only a few well-placed shots. It’s an excellent pick for those who love bows.
- Le Monarque - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Monument to Lost Lights.
- Craftable: No.
Trinity Ghoul
Trinity Ghoul is another favorite among bow enthusiasts, as precision kills grant chain lighting. The catalyst applies that to any Arc damage final blow, making it potent for Arc builds.
- Trinity Ghoul - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Exotic engram.
- Craftable: No.
Hand Cannon
Palindrome
Boasting terrific stats and perks, the Palindrome has been extremely popular since Bungie introduced it. It can roll with some great perk combos and is a Void weapon, rendering it a top-tier option for anyone looking to use a hand cannon with Void synergies.
- Palindrome Guide - How to Get It & the God Roll
- Source: Nightfall or Vanguard engram focusing on rotation.
- Craftable: No.
Sunshot
Sunshot has always been popular, and its status as a 150 RPM hand cannon makes it a unique and strong choice. Also, its Sun Blast effect — which is a Solar energy explosion — is useful for PVE ad-clear.
- Sunshot - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Exotic engram.
- Craftable: No.
Word of Crota
Word of Crota is a new addition to the game in Season of the Witch, but it will remain popular as it is craftable with traits like Dragonfly and Sword Logic. Also, this weapon comes with the Cursed Thrall origin trait. The combination of those three means your final blows cause you to do more damage and the enemies you kill are subject to elemental explosions.
- Word of Crota - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Crota's End raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Grenade Launcher
Forbearance
Forbearance remains a top choice for Energy grenade launchers. This is a useful weapon as projectiles grant energy waves when they hit the ground. The Chain Reaction perk means it will create an elemental damage explosion, absolutely shredding any enemies that get the path of a grenade. You can get it from Vow of the Disciple, and if you’re lucky enough to get red border versions of this weapon, you can craft it to your liking with enhanced perks, making it a banger of a weapon.
- Forbearance Guide - Forbearance God Roll
- Source: Vow of the Disciple raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Auto Rifle
Centrifuse
The Centrifuse Arc auto rifle, inducing charged explosions and blinding targets, is excellent for ad-clear in PVE. And, as a bonus, sprinting also reloads the weapon.
- Centrifuse - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Season pass reward (Season 21).
- Craftable: No.
Gnawing Hunger
Gnawing Hunger is a longtime fan-favorite Legendary Void auto rifle that is a staple go-to when you need an energy auto rifle to knock out enemies.
- Gnawing Hunger - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats,
- Source: Gambit engram focusing when on rotation.
- Craftable: No.
Ammit AR2
Ammit AR2 is a Legendary Solar auto rifle that can roll with Incandescent to scorch any nearby enemies when you defeat a target. It also feels really good to use, which is partially why it sees so much action in both PVE and PVP.
- Ammit AR2 Destiny 2 Guide – God Roll and How to Get It
- Source: Foundry Resonance quest in The Witch Queen expansion.
- Craftable: Yes.
Abyss Defiant
Another PVE favorite is the Abyss Defiant, a Solar auto rifle you can get as a Crota's End drop that causes enemies to explode with its Cursed Thrall origin trait. It's also craftable with traits like Heal Clip and Incandescent, so this weapon will continue to be a hot commodity for the foreseeable future.

- Craftable: Yes.
Trace Rifle
Coldheart
Coldheart’s steady Arc fusion laser is solid as it produces Ionic Traces, making it a really powerful weapon. It’s completely underrated but it absolutely melts.
- Coldheart - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore

- Craftable: No.
Divinity
If you're willing to put in the work to get Divinity, it's well worth the chase. Many players consider this a must-have for high-stakes endgame content.
- Divinity - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Divine Fragmentation quest and Garden of Salvation raid.
- Craftable: No.
Acasia’s Dejection
Acasia’s Dejection, a Root of Nightmares raid drop, is easier to get than Divinity and is also craftable with enhanced traits like Envious Assassin and Incandescent if you're willing to grind for those red border options. However, this Solar trace rifle not an Exotic like Coldheart and Divinity, so it's a solid option if you want to keep your Exotic weapon slot open for something else.
- Acasia's Dejection (Adept) - How to Get, God Roll
- Source: Root of Nightmares raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Scout Rifle
Brya's Love
This Season of the Witch Void scout rifle is craftable, plus it has a ton of trait options including Rapid Hit and Destabilizing Rounds, which causes enemies to become Volatile and therefore adding extra synergy with a lot of different Void Builds. It's definitely worth crafting one with your preferred setup if you want a solid, go-to Scout option for any PVE activity.
- Brya's Love - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Season of the Witch.
- Craftable: Yes.
Shotgun
Nessa's Oblation
Nessa's Oblation remains a fan-favorite weapon due to its excellent perk combinations. It’s wild as a boss DPS weapon if you have the right rolls, which you get from crafting if you put in the work to get Deepsight versions. Running a Void build that can debuff targets makes this a monster with Repulsor Brace, a perk that grants an Overshield when defeating a Void-debuffed target. You can pair Repulsor Brace with Destabilizing Rounds to cause targets to become volatile, constituting a Void debuff and therefore allowing you to run any subclass of your choosing and still earn the buff.
- Nessa's Oblation - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats
- Source: Root of Nightmares raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Fusion Rifle
The Eremite
This Solar fusion rifle from Season of the Witch is hot not only because it has some of the highest damage per second in the game but also because you can craft it with Heal Clip, where reloading after a final blow grants you and your nearby allies Cure. Cure grants an instant heal that restores health and shields, which makes this an extremely strong trait on a powerful fusion rifle.
- The Eremite - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore

- Craftable: Yes.
Destiny 2 Best PVE Power Weapons
Machine Gun
Thunderlord
Machine guns are still a popular PVE choice, as they remain one of the best ways to efficiently clear out hordes of enemies. Thunderlord is a top-tier option due to its sheer stopping power as an Arc machine gun that can melt enemies.
- Thunderlord - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore

- Craftable: No.
Xenophage
Xenophage is a Solar machine gun that fires explosive ammunition. As a result, it is a powerful option with many Solar Aspects and Fragments.
- The Journey Quest Xenophage Guide
- Source: Emergence Exotic quest.
- Craftable: No.
Commemoration
As a Legendary machine gun, Commemoration is a fan-favorite heavy weapon. The Void gun deals a disgusting amount of damage and is craftable with Reconstruction and Rampage if you can get enough red borders from the Deep Stone Crypt raid.
- Commemoration - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats
- Source: Deep Stone Crypt raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Retrofit Escapade
Retrofit Escapade is a solid pick. Retrofit Escapade is a craftable Void machine gun doesn’t have as much kick as other weapons of the same class. It also has a solid trait pool, including Fourth Time's the Charm and Target Lock, which together cause the weapon to deal more damage but also returns bullets to the magazine.
- Retrofit Escapade Deepsight Guide
- Source: Banshee-44 or Xur when available.
- Craftable: Yes.
Corrective Measure
This Void machine gun drops with some stellar traits. It also has a nice sight and feels good to use, so it's a great alternative if you can't get your hands on a Retrofit Escapade.
- Corrective Measure - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore

- Craftable: No.
Linear Fusion Rifle
Cataclysmic
For many Destiny 2 players, the Cataclysmic is the go-to Solar linear fusion rifle. It’s craftable, so players can gain their preferred rolls if they’re willing to grind the Vow of the Disciple raid whenever it’s on rotation. You can get it with Fourth Time’s the Charm, which refunds two ammo to the magazine after landing four precision hits. Focused Fury is another option, which grants weapon bonus damage after dealing half the magazine as precision damage.
- Cataclysmic - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Vow of the Disciple raid.
- Craftable: Yes.
Taipan-fr4
Taipan-fr4 remains a solid choice and is also craftable. This has been a go-to Legendary linear fusion rifle for higher-end PVE activities for quite some time, particularly for players who don't want to waste their Exotic slot on a fusion rifle but still want that high DPS in their Power weapon slot.
- Taipan-4FR Guide - God Roll & How to Get It
- Source: Banshee-44 or Xur when available.
- Craftable: Yes.
Rocket Launcher
Gjallarhorn
Rocket Launchers will likely remain popular as long as Gjallarhorn is because it buffs all Legendary rocket launchers nearby — and true Guardians understand how incredibly valuable that is in PVE endgame content.
- Gjallarhorn - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: And Out Fly the Wolves quest (Bungie 30th Anniversary content pack).
- Craftable: No.
The Hothead
The Adept version of The Hothead remains a top-tier choice due to its sheer power, and you can get it when it's on rotation as a Nightfall drop. ​​It's among the most popular rocket launchers in the game, at least partially because it can drop with Explosive Light to make Orbs of Light cause increased blast radius and damage.
- The Hothead (Adept) - How to Get, God Rolls
- Source: Vanguard engram focusing.
- Craftable: No.
Apex Predator
The craftable Apex Predator is also a great weapon as you can get it with Reconstruction, which allows it to reload itself up to double capacity. That trait is exceptionally powerful on rocket launchers, which typically require players to conserve their heavy ammo.
- Apex Predator - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore

Sword
The Other Half
The Other Half is popular is a popular Void sword because it's craftable with Eager Ege, and people really like to “Eager Edge skate” across maps and in raids — which, if you haven’t tried it, is super fun and convenient.

Half-Truths
Like The Other Half, Half-Truths is also craftable with Eager Edge. It's an excellent alternative to The Other Half if you prefer an Arc sword to a Void one for any particular build.
- Half-Truths - How to Get, God Rolls, Stats, Lore
- Source: Xur's treasure hoard in Dares of Eternity.
- Craftable: Yes.
The Lament
The Lament remains the best option for a straight damage Solar sword if you prefer to battle up close. Just make sure you master revving the blade, which increases damage and damage resistance of heavy attacks.
- Destiny 2 The Lament Guide
- Source: Lost Lament quest.
- Craftable: No.
Falling Guillotine
The Falling Guillotine is a beast of a weapon in close-range combat, especially due to some solid perk combinations. For example, Relentless Strikes returns ammo after three strikes, and Whirlwind Blade increases damage after rapid hits.
- Destiny 2 Falling Guillotine Guide
- Source: Banshee-44 or Xur when available.
- Craftable: No.
Bow
Leviathan's Breath
Leviathan’s Breath was buffed around Lightfall's launch, resulting in damage increases against Champions and Volatile Rounds on a precision hit, making it another solid choice for those looking to run an Exotic bow.

- Craftable: No.
Shotgun
Tractor Cannon
This unusual shotgun remains on the tier list due to its ability to push enemies, weaken them, and suppress them. On its own, it may not be the game’s best shotgun, but in specific PVE ad control cases, it helps keep enemies at bay.
