Destiny 2 - Season of the Lost
Epitome via Bungie

Took a break from Destiny 2 and looking to get dorsum into the swing of things? Yep, I've been there, it sucks. Figuring out what's good these days tin be a bit of a civilisation stupor. For case, what would you say if I told you that fusion rifles are now the best weapon type that D2 has ever seen? Yes, I know.

You're out of the loop. So, before you boot back up the game and showtime looking through LFGs, have a look below at all the Destiny 2 Season fifteen PvE meta weapons that people are using correct at present. After all, y'all don't want to become back to getting kicked from fireteams because y'all're doing no damage, exercise you?

There are three archetypes this season that yous need to be aware of: auto rifles, bows, and fusion rifles.

The only reason these 3 are popular right at present is artifact mods. Auto rifles are the but Anti-Bulwark option. Full stop. Bows and swords both get an Overload mod, simply using swords in cease-game content is a big no-no, as is besides the instance with sidearms and pulse rifles.

Lastly, fusion rifles are this flavour'due south Unstoppable weapon type. Fusion rifles are also Flavor xv's featured weapon blazon. The entire meta right at present revolves around an artifact mod called 'Particle Deconstruction'. Particle Deconstruction is a debuff that y'all can employ to enemies. Each shot from a fusion rifle adds one stack, upward to five. At max stacks, your fusion rifles are dealing approximately forty% more damage to that target. Yous don't demand me to tell you why that's good, especially as non-linear fusion rifles can utilise max stacks with one shot.

That'southward your TLDR for the meta right now; fusion rifles are king, and brand sure you've got a bow and auto rifles, but if y'all're looking for specific weapons that are dominating the scene, I've listed some of the most powerful and popular choices down below.

Machine Rifles

Don't look motorcar rifles to stick around once they lose anti-bulwark; don't spend as well long grinding out a perfect god scroll AR.

Last Jiff

Concluding Breath is my personal auto rifle of choice because it rolls with Osmosis. It besides has a Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie roll that tin can exist really powerful. It's a great automobile rifle for specific builds, but non so much for plug-and-play usage.

Scathelocke

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - Scathelocke
Paradigm: GamerJournalist via Bungie

Scathelocke is a scrap more friendly for general use, although that's strictly because it tin can roll with Subsistence and Rampage/Kill Clip. These god-rolls have also been sold quite a few times, so you tin look to run into players using them oftentimes enough.

Chroma Rush

Chroma Rush is the best accessible auto rifle right now. It's piece of cake to get a good scroll from Umbral Engram focusing, and its massive 50+ circular mag means you've got plenty of bullets to get through all those Barrier Champion shields. If you don't care virtually builds or farming for specific rolls, this is the AR you want to be running.

Bows

Bows are a little bit more than useful in the PvE sandbox than ARs. Many legendary options will drop out of the top 10 once the artifact mods rotate, just the exotic ones will still be tier-South options in all stop-game content.

Accrued Redemption

Accrued Redemption is one of a handful of kinetic bows that are available to usa right at present. If you have any of the others, you tin can hands bandy this out for them. All that matters is that your Overload weapon isn't taking up your energy slot. Having a kinetic legendary bow opens up your loadout to a lot more than versatility, then make getting one of them a priority. If you lot demand quick access to 1, Varik'south gives you Biting Winds during the mail service-game quest for the Beyond Light DLC.

Ticuu'south Divination

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - Ticuu's Divination
Paradigm: GamerJournalist via Bungie

Ticuu's Divination isn't all that in regular content. Information technology gets outclassed for ad-clear by things similar Trinity Ghoul. For Primary and Grandmaster content, though, it's considered 1 of the all-time weapons in the game. Being able to prime ads from behind comprehend keeps you safe in GMs, and those primed explosions practice a ridiculous corporeality of damage.

Trinity Ghoul

Trinity Ghoul is the polar opposite of Ticuu'southward: useless in GMs and Main content, but arguably the best weapon in the game for everything else. It'southward worth noting that Trinity needs its catalyst to actually practice any existent work. Once you have the goad active, you'll never need to aim at a cerise bar ever again.

Fusion Rifles

Fusion rifles are going to be useless once Particle Deconstruction leaves u.s.. Yes, I said it. Unlike auto rifles, though, they are front and center of the Destiny 2 PvE meta correct now, then grinding Last Wish for 1K is going to be worth it, too as working towards some of the god-rolls I list down below.

Cartesian Coordinate

Cartesian Coordinate is currently the highest-DPS energy weapon in the game. It'south also farmable using Flavor of the Splicer Umbral focusing, so you should probably put in the work to get one. The roll you're looking for is Vorpal Weapon and literally annihilation else. Vorpal is mandatory, but you can reasonably use everything from Hip-Burn Grip to Slideways.

Threaded Needle

Epitome: GamerJournalist via Bungie

Threaded Needle actually has the highest sustained DPS in the entire game right now. It's also farmable from Umbrals, then you have no alibi. Once once more, you're looking for Vorpal Weapon. Once yous take that perk, yous've got a usable gun. If y'all want to get the virtually bang for your buck, though, you desire a Vorpal roll with either Clown Cartridge or Rapid Hit, likewise as Liquid Coils.

One Grand Voices (1K)

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - One Thousand Voices
Prototype: GamerJournalist via Bungie

M Voices, or 1K for curt, is the defacto best weapon in the game correct now. While information technology doesn't have the sustained impairment of Threaded, information technology does have higher flare-up DPS and ease of use. It automatically applies 5x Particle Deconstruction, something that you lot take to exercise with another fusion burglarize if you use Threaded, and it blows up pretty much whatsoever enemy in whatever type of content. If you don't have 1K already, you're going to need to start running Last Wish every week for a chance to get information technology from i of the Vault chests at the end of the raid.

Null Sophistication

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - Null Composure
Epitome: GamerJournalist via Bungie

Zippo Composure falls curt compared to Cartesian in the boss-damage department. For regular advertizement killing, though, information technology'south arguably a better weapon thanks to Reservoir Outburst. It's likewise an sometime pursuit weapon making it much easier to become. If you don't take a Vorpal Cartesian, this is the next best affair.

Reed's Regret

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - Reed's Regret

At that place is only one whorl worth using on Reed'southward Regret, and information technology's Triple Tap with Vorpal. With those two perks, Liquid Coils, and the correct masterwork, information technology can out-DPS Threaded on a base level. However, Reed's Regret doesn't stack with Focusing Lens (a damage-boosting artifact mod), whereas Threaded does. Then if you're in a team looking to min-max damage output, information technology'south not going to be usable. For not-sweaty teams, though, at that place'due south no damage in running it.

Vex Mythoclast

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - Vex Mythoclast

Vex is far amend in PvP than it is in PvE, but that's not proverb much. I mean, isn't it obvious? It'due south an assault rifle disguised as a fusion rifle in a season with a 40% harm vitrify on each fusion rifle shot. If you're lucky plenty to accept a Vex Mythoclast, use it.

Other Weapons

These last three weapons aren't featured this season and notwithstanding are however immensely pop. That should tell you everything you lot need to know about how stiff they are. If you want to spend your fourth dimension grinding for anything, make information technology these.

Fatebringer

Destiny 2 Season 15 PvE Meta Weapons Guide - Fatebringer (Timelost)
Paradigm: GamerJournalist via Bungie

The Fatebring (Timelost) is my kinetic primary of choice this season. Information technology's a powerful hand cannon with a lot of prestige throughout Destiny'south history. Information technology can be obtained from the Vault of Drinking glass and has a whole bunch of good rolls. The only mandatory perk you desire is Explosive Payload. Information technology allows you to ignore damage driblet-off, which is huge for manus cannons. You're not going to be bringing a Fatebringer into GMs, but you lot tin can for pretty much every other activity.

Ignition Code

Ignition Code, on the other hand, can be brought into GMs. Ignition is the but kinetic grenade launcher in the game that can gyre with Blinding Grenades. These grenades volition suppress whatsoever enemies defenseless in the blast radius, preventing them from shooting at yous for a few seconds. In Grandmasters, all it takes is 1 or 2 shots from a regular ruby bar to stop yous, so being able to end a whole grouping of them from shooting at you is incredible. This GL is also farmable from Umbrals and will be relevant for a long time to come. If yous're looking for a weapon that will last y'all several seasons, this is information technology.

Wrap Up

There are, of course, a plethora of other neat weapons that I haven't covered in this Destiny ii Flavor xv PvE meta weapons guide, similar Witherhoard. At that place are also all the different armor choices, subclasses, and mods that are popular in the meta correct now. Going over all of that would be too much for 1 day, though.

Knowing what weapons to utilize is enough to get your foot back in the Destiny door. You'll learn all the other technicalities as you go, so get yourself into those LFGs.
