They offer similar, and in very specific cases, more damage than Sleeper Simulant. And it's numbers are still very competitive for boss damage.īoth of these Linear Fusions Rifles are benefitting massively from recent buffs to the weapon type. Some enemy types can dodge, so if you are firing from a distance, you may find your rockets failing to land. Mainly, the Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle does it's damage instantly. There are some instances currently you may go to a Sleeper over, say a Gjallarhorn or Rocket Launcher.

Also, Sleeper’s shots Ricochet off surfaces making DPS even higher if the bounce back hits and enemy. The aim assist and size of the beam is quite generous. You do have to hit criticals to maximize damage, but that’s really not that hard to do. It’s still exceptionally strong for Boss and Champion damage and will more or less one hit anything else. That said, you'd be mistaken for thinking it's dead.

Sleeper Simulant has been knocked down a peg or two since the seasonal mod Particle Deconstruction left the game. Grade: B+ (or A with specific builds) Witherhoard Moments to Lost Lights kiosk in the Tower

If you want to reach the weapon’s full potential, you will need access to a decent amount of Stasis fragments and Stasis armor mods. That being said, it has a little less ‘plug and play’ functionality than, say, the Cartesian Coordinate. To see something like this in action, Destiny YouTuber Datto has a great build to consider to help get your head around Ager’s Scepter’s true power.Īger Scepter is good on its own and top tier with very specific builds. Getting Stasis effects on the field and, importantly, using shards to boost your abilities means that you can have near-constant Stasis turrets. Its true power comes from its ability to enable powerful Stasis builds. However, that’s only a part of what makes Ager’s so powerful. Its ability to freeze wide swaths of enemies is ever useful, as you will make once tough rooms bend to your whims as you control the space. The Exotic Trace Rifle from last season has proven itself to be an excellent weapon. Destiny 2 PvE weapons: best primary weapons Especially when it comes to primary weapons, there’s a ton you can use with it largely coming down to personal preference. Thankfully though, almost every other weapon type has its place or is at least viable somewhere in the meta. In a world of Champions and Raid bosses, Machine guns currently feel left behind. Their DPS is poor for a heavy weapon, and while they have deep reserves, so much of Destiny PvE is about doing a lot of damage and doing it quickly. Besides Xenophage, which has also dropped off from its once mighty reign, it’s hard to justify running these for any reason. Lastly, Machine Guns are also in a terrible spot. Even the once-great double Slug Shotgun option that took over the Taniks boss fight in the Deep Stone Crypt has fallen away. They remain decent, but apart from some very specific builds, they are a fairly underwhelming option. They could really use some help in future patches.

They are both more tricky to use and are outputting less damage than many other specials. Snipers remain in a pretty terrible place when it comes to PvE content.

Sniper Rifles could really use some love currently (Image credit: Future) Destiny 2 PvE weapons: weapons struggling right now It feels like there are currently more standout primaries than in recent seasons, but they are nicely spread out across weapon types so you should be able to find one that suits you. It has so much utility right now and is a great choice, especially against harder enemies.Įlsewhere, the meta is pretty open. The new weapon type, the Glaive, is having a great introduction to the game too. They are good in just about any content in the game, and if you don't want to think about what to run, Gjallarhorn currently feels like a great 'default' option. It boosts all other rocket launchers and there are a lot of good ones out there at the moment. Rocket Launchers feel great right now, and that's all down to Gjallarhorn. There is no one Artifact mod that is making one type of weapon dominate the meta, and there is a feeling of versatility to the options people can run currently.
