Destiny 2: Best Auto Rifles For Your Build

By far, one of the hardest aspects of The Pyramidion isn't the enemy a player will face, it is the number of enemies that if not careful can overrun a player in mere seconds that makes this strike so difficult. Add that with a barrage of enemies that can easily regenerate themselves and one will surely find themselves sweating bullets as they try to just stay afloat. This is one strike that allies and teamwork are crucial to a mission's success as there are no lone wolves in The Pyramidion. At least not ones that surv

Probably one of the more daunting challenges is breaking down the differences between New Light and the two major expansions: Forsaken and Shadowkeep. The new free-to-play experience is meant to get players on the sidelines in the door for the first time. Despite this, this free experience actually comes with a lot of content.


Ever since its release in October of 2017, Activision's Destiny 2 has become one of the most popular video games on the Xbox and PS4 consoles. In 2019, the game's popularity skyrocketed when it became free-to-play online via Stadia and other cloud-based applications. The sequel to the 2014 game Destiny 2 News allows players to assume roles as Guardians, warriors protecting Earth's last remaining safe city from a horde of malefic ali

Over the past two years, Bungie has done good work slowly removing some of the more disturbing aspects from the Eververse store. Gameplay-focused items like armor, sparrows and Ghost shells have been moved out of the store and are, like in Destiny, offered as in-game rewards. At this point in time, the Eververse store purely sells cosmetic items, including weapon ornaments, emotes and finishers.


If any gun in this list is going to compete with The Summoner with regard to perks, it's Rufus's Fury. This weapon has some of the best elemental synergy with Strand, and one look at its perk pool is enough to see why. Its first column alone can run Rewind Rounds for more shots before reloading, Demolitionist for more grenade energy, and Reconstruction for auto-loading up to twice the magazine s


The best lesson that this strike has to offer is to be prepared and to be prepared quickly because enemies will feel endless in The Hollowed Lair strike . Players will be unable to catch their breath as they try to coordinate between various different attacks coming at them from all directions. It might take a time or two for players to get used to the energy exerted in this strike but once players find their footing, beyond the pace and amount of enemies present, this is one of the easier strikes they will f


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


Its second column has Target Lock for PvP players, Frenzy for more reload, Hatchling for add-clear, and the raid perk Paracausal Affinity, which gives a 20% damage boost whenever a player gets a kill with that element. This makes the gun especially accessible for Strand users, or Prismatic users using Strand abilities because it will proc off of any basic kill. This weapon is a great pick for lovers of Quicksilver Storm who need to flex to another exo


Updated on September 9th, 2024, by Nathan Halsey: It's been a while since Hand Cannons have been this good in PvE, so this article has been thoroughly rewritten to reflect that. This list will encompass the best of both PvE and PvP, as this weapon type is an extremely useful pick in both modes. On the PvE end of the spectrum, Hand Cannons have gotten the new Heavy Burst archetype that gives the weapon type a new way to excel at close to mid-range. Many of the game's Exotic Hand Cannons are fantastic as of this writing, with Legendaries that are incredibly competitive, allowing players many options to keep a Hand Cannon somewhere in their loadout no matter what the activity calls


Gnawing Hunger is Destiny 2 ’s ol’ reliable, standing the tests of time as one of the best auto rifles since its inception. Its most defining feature is its stability, which allows the gun to push ranges atypical for auto rifles while still being reliable. On top of this, its perk pool is a tight constriction of some of the best perks, with standout combinations like Subsistence and Demolitionist allowing the gun to integrate easily in builds built around the Void keywords and grenades, be that with the standard Void subclasses or Prismatic builds that rely on the elem
