The Best Sniper Rifles For Your Destiny 2 Arsenal

Succession is all the more impressive when taking into account its perks. Reconstruction keeps the gun loaded to double its magazine size, and Recombination makes it so that getting kills with the game's various elements stacks a damage bonus up to 100%. This gun can also run with Focus Fury and Firing line, making it a great pick for sustained damage on Champions and minibosses. The gun is also incredibly easy to acquire in Onslaught , and can be target farmed at Zavala, as well as acquired from its original source, Deep Stone Crypt. Both options for this gun are great, especially for players who want a slower and more deliberate rifle than The Suprem


The Magnificent Armor is where the real work begins. Each player is gifted a Renewed set of armor that has low stats and looks old and dilapidated. Every piece of the set has a subset of tasks associated with it. These might include goals such as Complete Five Strikes, or Get 50 Precision Kills, or other things to that effect. Once players complete all requirements on all five pieces of gear, the armor can be upgraded to the Majestic versions with higher stats and better aesthetics. With this upgrade also comes a new, more challenging set of objectives to complete for each armor piece once again. In 2020, this first upgrade also unlocks the universal ornaments for the set as w

Every year, the event coordinator of Destiny 2 ’s Tower, Eva Levante, returns with a smile on her face and a task at hand. The Solstice and its rewards are generally tied to two main factors: the Magnificent Armor, and the European Aerial Zone (E

Since the release of Destiny 2, monetization has been a thorn in all player's sides. Though Bungie tweaked it to be fairer, players still resented the idea that Bungie was selling a $49.99 Season Pass with microtransactions on top of it all while asking players to pay up front to get the game. Anyone hoping things would get better after Bungie's split from Activision isn't going to be happy to hear what's happening in Shadowkeep.


In addition to the monumental effort required to simply afford the ornaments, players are also upset about one specific task required to activate the glow on their shiny new armor. Once players have earned their Magnificent sets, one of the tasks necessary for the glow is to achieve seven wins in Trials of Osiris . This high-intensity PvP mode is widely considered to be the most skillful form of Crucible in Destiny 2 . Many lower-skill players tend to avoid it entirely due to the time and ability required to achieve the best rewards. While Bungie may be trying to bolster the population of the mode to improve matchmaking balance, Trials contains a myriad of other problems as well. In the past, Bungie has responded to negative player feedback like this with on-the-fly changes to make the goals easier, so that may happen this year as w


Cirrus Plaza has one central location that's more open, but the rest of the map is all about very tight corners that favor fast-paced run and gun-style gameplay. Definitely get a shotgun or an SMG out for this map, and keep an eye on the corners. Given that shotguns and hand cannons have often been among players' favorites, it could be that this map becomes one of the more loved ones in the g


Embraced Identity is a decent enough sniper for those who require a Void Sniper. Not only is it craftable, but it comes with very flexible PvE perks that allow players to tailor it to their needs. In activities like Grandmaster Nightfalls, perk combinations like Reconstruction and Fourth Time's the Charm come in handy for making every bullet count while reducing the need to rel


Updated August 29th, 2024, by Nathan Halsey: Snipers have been given a significant boost in Destiny 2 with the release of The Final Shape, and this list has been updated to reflect that. Not only do many of these new weapons push the envelope in terms of damage, but Bungie has also increased the utility of the weapon type with a particular entry. As a result, Snipers are seeing increased use across the PvE landscape, Critical Hits guide from Grandmaster Strikes and Raid Encounters to Dungeons and basic Strikes. While they aren't the easiest weapon to use, and often require good intuition with regard to enemy movement, many of these weapons are well worth practice, and won't skimp out on resu


With the release of the Shadowkeep expansion in the Fall of 2019 , Bungie released a major overhaul to the Destiny 2 armor system. This major change brought more stats and more flexibility for players to choose how they wanted to build their Guardians. The promise from Bungie was that if players earned their Magnificent armor, then a package would be waiting for them once the new expansion hit with all of their Magnificent armor brought forward under the new sys


In the end, this Solstice of Heroes seems like a net positive for Destiny 2 players . The universal ornaments can be used indefinitely and players are welcome to upgrade their armor as much as they choose. It’s clear that some of the tasks necessary to upgrade the armor are far harder than others. That balance has always been very challenging to strike. But expecting some deep, intricate event to wrap up the year that is to include all players, even those without the expansions, is a simply a miss. The event is supposed to be pretty simple, fun, and with bright, shiny rewards that **Destiny 2 ** players can show off far into the future. Beyond Light draws near. Let’s hope Guardians are re
