Quick Links

Season of the Chosen has arrived in Destiny 2, and there are a lot more weapons than we were expecting. It was a famine during Season of the Hunt, but now we’ve got almost 30 weapons to analyze for the best possible perk combinations. Crucible, Strikes, Gambit, and the new seasonal Battlegrounds Event all got weapons, along with the return of the Umbral Engram system from Season 11.

We’ve got way too many weapons to discuss to waste time, so let’s hop right to it!

Updated July 20th, 2021, by Charles Burgar: Destiny's weapon sandbox varies wildly between PvE and PvP. Certain weapon archetypes, perks, and overall playstyles shine brighter in either game type. To reflect this, we've updated this guide to include PvE and PvP rolls for players to chase. A table of contents has also been added to make navigating to specific weapons much easier.

Brass Attacks

Destiny 2 Brass Attacks Sidearm

If you were sad about Breachlight being sunset, let me introduce you to Brass Attacks, a very similar Aggressive Frame two-burst Sidearm.

Best PvE Roll

I'm pleased to report that there is basically not a single perk combination on this weapon that is bad, except for possibly Slideshot, depending on how much you slide.

I'm going to shoot for Hammer-Forged Rifling to bring up this Sidearms range, along with Ricochet Rounds or Light Mag. Feeding Frenzy and One For All is likely too good to ignore, but Surplus and Wellspring is also there, as is Rapid Hit and Rampage. The Frenzy per is here too. Even the Season Pass version of this gun is great with Overflow and Sympathetic Arsenal. I can't sing Brass Attacks' praises enough.

Best PvP Roll

If you enjoy two-round burst Sidearms in PvP, Brass Attacks was made just for you. Killing Wind and Wellspring is an excellent roll on this gun, improving its range while granting ability energy on kill. With how powerful abilities are in Destiny 2's PvP sandbox, having your grenade up a few seconds faster than everyone else is arguably better than a simple damage boost.

Bottom Dollar

Destiny 2 Bottom Dollar

Bottom Dollar is a 120 Hand Cannon that competes with the likes of The Steady Hand and True Prophecy. You can find this Hand Cannon from Gambit matches, although it has a ludicrous perk pool that makes grinding for a specific roll next to impossible. Fortunately, there are many good combos here.

Best PvE Roll

Surplus, Killing Wind, Rapid Hit, Rangefinder, Feeding Frenzy in the first column. Wellspring, High-Impact Reserves, Rampage, Dragonfly, Demolitionist, Thresh, and Explosive Payload in the second column. Add a Chambered Compensator for near-perfect recoil and a Tactical Mag, and you'll be set. Most 120s can roll with a reload and damage perk combination, so we'll recommend a more ability-centric roll. If you prefer perks that buff the gun itself, get a roll with Rapid Hit and Multikill Clip.

Best PvP Roll

Bottom Dollar has bypassed the 120 range nerfs seen throughout Season of the Splicer. This is thanks to two perks: Rangefinder and Explosive Payload. Both perks allow Bottom Dollar to map Guardians as if this gun was a Scout Rifle. If you don't engage from distances beyond medium range, replace Explosive Payload with Multikill Clip for some easy two taps after a double kill.]

Cartesian Coordinate

Destiny 2 Cartesian Coordinate

Rapid-Fire Fusion Rifles have historically had abysmal range making their usage problematic, but Season of the Chosen has buffed Fusion Rifle range by as much as 16%. Is that enough for Cartesian Coordinate? No. Not even close.

Best PvE Roll

You're going to want a Red Dot Micro sight and the Projection Fuse battery to squeeze out as much range as possible from this thing. Under Pressure and High-Impact Reserves can be a neat combo to run, but Graverobber and Swashbuckler are right there. Smash a red bar, blow away a yellow bar. Profit.

A typical Under Pressure and High-Impact Reserves roll is good on this weapon. Well, as good as a Rapid-Fire Fusion can be. If you want to get a little experimental, a roll with Hip-Fire Grip and Backup Plan is surprisingly good as a panic weapon.

Code Duello

Destiny 2 Code Duello

Rockets have received a 30% damage buff in Season of the Chosen, which makes Code Duello a candidate for being a powerhouse heavy weapon.

Best PvE Roll

Code Duello can roll with the Lasting Impression perk, which increases blast radius and damage by a lot at the price of a delayed explosion. On the downside, there's no tracking for Code Duello, so you've actually got to have good aim with rockets to make good use of it. Given how so few of us have used non-tracking Rocket Launchers, this might prove a difficult learning curve. Still, I think Code Duello will be a fantastic weapon to take against large, slow-moving bosses.

Eternal Blazon

Destiny 2 Eternal Blazon

My poor Patron Of Lost Causes has been reborn as Eternal Blazon, a Lightweight, 200 RPM Scout Rifle that you can get from focusing your Umbral Engrams.

Best PvE Roll

Eternal Blazon can roll with Full Auto Trigger System, giving you a viable alternative to Auto Rifles, and either Kill Clip or One For All for damage. This weapon suffers a bit on range and stability, so look to shore those up with the sight and magazine. I recommend the Flash HS5 sight and Ricochet Rounds, but Appended Mag can help with an extra two bullets in the magazine, and those two bullets will go a long way with Full-Auto Trigger.

Lightweight Scout Rifles are surprisingly good in PvP, provided you keep your distance. Full Auto Trigger System and Kill Clip is a solid perk combination that prioritizes ease of use above all else. If you don't fancy Kill Clip, Rangefinder and Thresh can roll in its place. And if you don't like Full Auto, give Killing Wind a try.

Extraordinary Rendition

Destiny 2 Extraordinary Rendition

Yet another Aggressive Frame Submachine Gun to go along with the likes of the Ikelos Submachine Gun and Cold Front, Extraordinary Rendition falls in between Ikelos and Cold Front in terms of stats. But what sets this gun apart from its competition is the excellent assortment of perks it can roll with.

Best PvE Roll

In the first column, you've got Overflow, Surplus, or Outlaw to make reloading easier (or happen less often). Zen Moment can keep this gun’s recoil in check if you feel it's a bit out of control, which is pretty common for Aggressive Frame Submachine Guns. In the second column is One For All, Multi-Kill Clip, and Rampage, all great damage options, but also the Frenzy perk. This perk adds damage, handling, and reload speed if you're in combat for a long time, making it an ideal raid weapon. And don't forget Thresh for added super energy.

Really, this gun has so many great options it's hard to choose. Pick whichever combination you like, but this is what I'm going for.

Far Future

Destiny 2 Far Future Sniper Rifle

This has got to be the most disappointing Sniper Rifle I've ever seen in Destiny 2. No Triple Tap, no Fourth Time's The Charm, no High-Impact Reserves, no Field Prep, no Outlaw, and no Snapshot Sights. If you wanted to skip a weapon in Season of the Chosen, skip Far Future.

Best PvE Roll

The best you can do is maybe Surplus and Wellspring in PvE. But honestly? That's not a good roll for PvE. Look for a different Sniper Rifle.

Frozen Orbit

Destiny 2 Frozen Orbit Sniper Rifle

As bad as Far Future is, Frozen Orbit makes up for it with some amazing perk combinations.

Best PvE Roll

I'm partial to Triple Tap and High-Impact Reserves for boss-cracking, but you could also do Auto-Loading Holster or Vorpal Weapon in either perk slot. Sadly, as a Crucible reward, Frozen Orbit has way too many different perks to roll for effectively. Maybe you'll get lucky over the course of a season, but the odds aren't great. If you do, you'll be one of the elite few that just happened to come across a good roll one day.

You'll have a hard time finding a better PvP Sniper than this. Killing Wind and Snapshot Sights is the go-to for most Crucible veterans, although consider a roll with Kill Clip.

Imperial Needle

Destiny 2 Imperial Needle

With more accuracy and better aim assist than Whispering Slab, Imperial Needle is likely to become your new favorite Lightweight Frame kinetic Bow. You'll still want to shore up that accuracy with Polymer String and Straight Fletching, and maybe even an accuracy Masterwork too.

Best PvE Roll

Imperial Needle gets the Impulse Amplifier perk that improves your arrow's velocity at the cost of reload speed. For amateur bow users, this might make striking targets a little easier, but professional bow users will likely find this a hindrance since they've already mastered the lead required for a regular bow shot.

Sympathetic Arsenal can be a great perk on bows since it reloads your heavies, and since Rockets are the new in-thing, this might be an excellent pairing with a nice Rocket Launcher.

Multimach CCX

Destiny 2 Multimach CCX

Escape Velocity? Is that you? Nope! It's the other new Iron Banner weapon, which is coincidentally the same model and frame as Escape Velocity. However, the Multimach CCX has better overall stats, a perfect 100 recoil stat, and One For All in the third perk column. It can also roll with archetype-bending Iron Banner perks. That's pretty cool.

Best PvE Roll

In the first perk column, you'll either want Threat Detector or Killing Wind. Subsistence usually takes away too many bullets for my comfort, but this column is ultimately down to preference. Tactical Mag is always the best magazine whenever it appears, and Model 8 Red is the sight that helps to bring up the Multimach's lackluster range. Pair any column one perk with One for All or Kill Clip for a good time.

Retrofuturist

Destiny 2 Retrofuturist

I'm on the fence with Retrofuturist. It doesn't have the stats or Warmind Cell capabilities of the Seventh Seraph CQC Shotgun.

Best PvE Roll

Trench Barrel and Dual Loader is a perk combination that I really want to try. If you're on the fence about Dual Loader, Feeding Frenzy is a good substitute. And Swashbuckler can also roll on this gun if Trench Barrel isn't your style.

You can get Quickdraw and Snapshot Sights for a decent Crucible weapon, but there's no way Retrofuturist is going to unseat Felwinter's Lie or slugs with such a poor range stat. Still, Accurized Rounds and a range Masterwork will certainly help.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with PvP and stick with a more dedicated PvE loadout.

Royal Entry

Destiny 2 Royal Entry

The good news is that Royal Entry has built-in tracking. The bad news is that it's the new Strike reward Rocket Launcher, meaning it's got so many perks that it can't be effectively farmed.

Best PvE Roll

Ambitious Assassin is in the same perk slot as Chain Reaction, Wellspring, Cluster Bomb, and Lasting Impression, removing some of the best possible perk combinations. Auto-Loading Holster and Field Prep are decent in the first column though, and you can also try out Impulse Amplifier perk if you feel the rocket tracking isn't up to snuff.

Shadow Price

Destiny 2 Shadow Price

First of the reprised Destiny 1 weapons, Shadow Price is a potential reward for doing Nightfalls. It's a 450 RPM Auto Rifle with decent overall stats and the new Bottomless Grief perk that automatically reloads your magazine on every kill when both your fireteam members are downed.

Best PvE Roll

Personally, I'd rather get any of the other options in the first column, which can be Surplus, Killing Wind, Feeding Frenzy, or Overflow. In the second column, One For All, Swashbuckler, or Dragonfly are your damage perks, but Thresh and Disruption Break can be great for high-level content.

Sola's Scar

Destiny 2 Sola's Scar (Adept)

The second Caster Frame sword to arrive after Temptation's Hook, Sola's Scar might be the first sword to flip the usual script of being used to kill bosses.

Best PvE Roll

Tireless Blade and Chain Reaction exchange boss-killing potential for HILARIOUS stab-explosions that I'm very interested in experiencing. Since we're not as concerned about damage, Hungry Edge improves ammo capacity, and Swordmaster's Guard helps to keep your sword charged in order to keep getting back ammo.

Line In The Sand's replacement is here, but it lacks any of the perks that made Line In The Sand good.

Best PvE Roll

Firing Line and High-Impact Reserves are gone, and with Rampage and Kill Clip as poor replacements. Your best options here are either Field Prep or Feeding Frenzy in the first slot, along with Dragonfly or Wellspring in the second slot. Arrowhead Brake will help your recoil and the battery doesn't really matter because Linear Fusion Rifles are outclassed by slug Shotguns at short range and Sniper Rifles at long range.

The Keening

Destiny 2 The Keening Sidearm

You get this new Adaptive Frame Sidearm from the Crucible, and as such, it comes with as many perk combinations as can be counted by a supercomputer. If you're a PvP player, you'll eventually find one of these that'll be to your liking, but otherwise, you're not likely to find one in the occasional Crucible match.

Best PvE Roll

Surplus and Wellspring are here, as is Killing Wind and One For All. Adaptive Frame Sidearms are great for High-Impact Reserves, too.

I prefer my Sidearms with as much range as possible, so Hammer Forged Rifling and Ricochet Rounds are my preferred components.

Destiny 2 The Palindrome

Our second reprised D1 Nightfall weapon, The Palindrome is easily one of the best 140 Hand Cannons in the game. Featuring an excellent stat package and perks, only Exotics like Hawkmoon can even attempt to compete with this gun.

Best PvE Roll

Outlaw and One For All is what Palindrome needs. Overflow or Subsistence paired with High-Impact Reserves can be pretty funny, but no, really, just get Outlaw and One For All. Or Rampage if you wanna go old-school.

Recoil on The Palindrome is perfect, so look to add to this gun's overall stats with Corkscrew Rifling or Fluted Barrel. High-Caliber Rounds are great for Crucible or dunking on majors, but Ricochet Rounds are great too. If this weapon is dropping from a Nightfall in a given week, farm for a good Palindrome. You won't be disappointed.

THE SWARM

Destiny 2 THE SWARM

Our last reprised Destiny 1 Nightfall reward, The Swarm is a High-Impact Frame Machine Gun that is entirely outclassed by the Seventh Seraph SAW because it can't make Warmind Cells. But it can roll with better perks, which is a decent consolation prize.

Best PvE Roll

The good news for The Swarm is it has significantly higher overall stats than the Seventh Seraph SAW as well as MUCH better recoil. With such a vertical kick, I'd even recommend Fluted Barrel to improve The Swarm's stability and handling. Tactical Mag is, as always, the best magazine whenever it's available. Keep an eye out for Surplus and One for All.

You want Bygones? Here's a better Bygones. The only problem with The Third Axiom is it's the new Strike weapon, meaning it's got a perk pool the size of Montana. Getting a specific roll will be like winning the lottery, only better because you won't eventually wind up blowing it all on a yacht you never use.

Best PvE Roll

Arrowhead Brake takes care of the recoil, while Ricochet Rounds adds even better stability to make this thing smooth as butter. As for perks, I'm partial to Surplus and One For All, but there's Feeding Frenzy and Multikill Clip just sitting right there, along with Rampage and Vorpal Weapon. But again, this is wishful thinking given the number of perks available.

The Time-Worn Spire

Destiny 2 The Time Worn Spire

One of the two new Iron Banner weapons, The Time-Worn Spire is one of the only non-sunset Rapid-Fire Pulse Rifle in the game.

Best PvE Roll

It's got lower overall stats than previous Rapid-Fire Pulse Rifles. However, it comes with the possibility of rolling One For All, one of the best new damage perks added in Beyond Light, and also Iron Reach, a perk introduced in Season of the Chosen.

The massive penalty to this gun's stability really isn't worth the added range (much like the other Iron perks), so I'd recommend Feeding Frenzy and One For All or Rampage as your perks. Hitmark IS or either of the Red Dot sights are your sight options, while Ricochet or High-Caliber Rounds are best-in-slot for the magazine. You could also go with Flared Magwell if you really need the extra reload speed.

Destiny 2 Threaded Needle Linear Fusion Rifle

Sorry, I misspoke earlier; Threaded Needle is actually Line In The Sand's replacement. This weapon comes with much better perks and is easier to farm for.

Best PvE Roll

Rapid Hit and Vorpal Weapon turn this thing into a serviceable boss-cracking weapon, although it's still generally outclassed by First In, Last Out at short range, which is a special Shotgun rather than a heavy Linear Fusion Rifle.

Arrowhead Brake solves the recoil, and Liquid Coils just adds a bit more damage. Find a charge time masterwork and you've got yourself the god roll.

Gambit has a new weapon with the Trinary System, an Adaptive Frame Fusion Rifle with so many different perk combinations that it's basically impossible for anyone to farm this thing unless they really love Gambit. But if you really love Gambit, there are a lot of great combos on this Fusion Rifle.

Best PvE Roll

Surplus and Wellspring, Ambitious Assassin and High-Impact Reserves, Graverobber and Swashbuckler, or Auto-loading Holster and Backup Plan are all beautiful if you can find 'em. Get an Arrowhead Brake to handle this beast's crazy recoil and you'll be all set.
