The 10 BEST Exotic Weapons In Destiny 2 

Every time I hear "Wish Ender can one-shot barrier shields," I always feel "why can't Eriana's? It's a freaking special weapon!"

as a Destiny 1 veteran who hasn't played Destiny 2 in a few years, seeing Dragon's Breath even mentioned in a top 10 exotics list was wild lol

All the footage consists of the best example of how solid each selection is in different scenarios. Plus things like "fun to use.." matters too!

Just wanted to say thank you for you these videos! I took a several year hiatus from D2 and I just started playing again in January so these videos have been helping me a lot to know what weapons to get and use. You’ve got yourself a new sub, keep up the good work!

Asked for this vid in your heavy exotic build, glad you made it.

you forgot darci bro

With the right fragments, Sunshot hits very hard in the current sola meta.

Dragons breath has never left my builds since it came out. Once I cleared the end of a master lost sector with one freaking rocket-ads included, I knew that shit was meta. It was scavengers den. Hit the boss with dragons breath, killed some ads down below while the rocket went to work, went to go up top to fight the ads and kill the boss, they were all dead. I was like... Wtf... The boss is dead too?!?! If ads are close to the boss, it's the best weapon in the game and it's not even close. It's like jolt but x50, literally.

It's a good list! Conditional Finality, Sunspot, and maybe Malfeasance feel like they should be on the list bit I'm not sure which ones to bump from the list.😂 Maybe you could do exotic armor top 10 by class and overall top 10 after?

You got my entire top ten except for sunshot!

I never used dragons breath until it was mentioned in a build i tried, i fell in love with it instantly, great for ad-clear and good boss damage

I'm a big fan of running Wish Keeper in a strand build. I'm a pretty decent shot, and with a lot of headshots on ads I get LOTS of threadlings running around, lots of tangles, and lots of suspend bursts.

Final warning is slept on. It hits like a truck and can unravel so it feeds into strand builds. This season is even better being AB and the strand mods on the artifact.

5:47 with the clean ass transition omg

Ahhhh The Lament ❤ i love it

Very nice soothing video!

Witherhoard will probably always be in my top 3. Such a fun exotic for any content

I stepped away from the game a few months ago; I never expected Polarance Lance to be a good weapon. Crazy

Ostio is fun add clear but graviton lance was always my favorite, the range and cascading explosions is just too much fun. Plus with the recent buffs this thing is a true monster.

Your content has been immensely helpful in my transition into the endgame. That being said, I've noticed that for these list videos (I suspect it's when you have a script), your delivery is a bit monotone. Every sentence has basically the same cadence and tonal pattern, where you start on a low note, go higher until the middle of the sentence, leave a small pause and then go back down to the low note at the end. This doesn't happen in your commentaries, which makes them feel more natural. I think these list videos would be noticeably more engaging if your narration was as natural/conversational as it is for the commentaries. Sorry for nitpicking, all in all these are still among the most useful Destiny videos regardless.

I have most of these and use ostro and witherhord a lot, but what I struggle with is that since they are exotics what do I use in the other slots to complement these weapons in higher content PVE and dragons breath does not seem to drop a lot of ammo bricks in higher end content.. your feedback would be appreciated…thanks 👍👍👍

please do Armour as well

I'm curious if that trick how you activate golden gun celestial, then quick swap to foeTracer will still increase golden gun par celestial combo, THEN BE ABLE TO BLAM PARASITE WHILE FOE TRACER ACTIVE

Awesome list! But i'd only change 2 items, The ranking on the wish-ender should be higher, #2 or even #1, the ability to solo high tier content with ease on top of the huge primary raw damage, it's a must have. And 2nd, i'd switch the Leviathan's Breath for Wish-Keeper. that weapon with Threadlings is an adclear monster and can stun multiple enemies. other than that, All good :D

Outbreak perfects still rocks

Anyone remember the days of the fearsome four? Arbalest, Gjallerhorn, Witherhorde, and Izzy? I think T-Lord should take the place of either Levi's Breath or Osteo. Edit: the top 4 actually looks pretty similar in function, if not form. Wish Ender a better Arbalest, Dragon's Breath is a better Wither. Izzy isn't there because Quicksilver is a primary that deals heavy damage with an alt reload, while Izzy is a special that deals heavy damage with an alt reload.

I just started 2 days ago and I got light fall from PlayStation plus so I got quicksilver and dragons breath first day so that’s great

I would rate Conditional Finality on definitely top 10 but the problem it has to be obtained from RoN. That is a difficult sell for a lot of players because it is a raid and you can raid many times and don't get it to drop. At least these weapons are easily obtainable with only Wish Ender being slightly more troublesome with that mini-game in Shattered Throne.

Malfeasance and Wish-ender should be at the TOP of the list

This video is good because usually people will be like, "Dude look how good this weapon/build is!!!" And proceed to do the lowest gear req easiest baby content in the game and obviously destroy everything. I appreciate the GM showcases or raid showcases only. Actually digestable information. Good work.

Gally, witherhoard and Outbreak prime r the only 3 exotics i really use on all 3 charcaters... Other exotica r just meh imo... Wish they would get rid of catalyst and just give us the full exotic when we get it.

2nd post on this video but oh well. My top 10 1. Witherhoard 2. Gjallahorn 3. Quicksilver Storm 4. WishEnder 5/6. Divinity/Tractor Cannon (gotta give them some love) 7. Izanagis Burden 8. Malfeasance 9. Osteo Striga (hate this gun 😒) 10. Vex Mythoclast

Hey can someone help me? I bought a lot of destiny 2 stuff like dlcs and packs because they were really cheap at sale on ps store, but wich 3 exotics guns should i get from the forsaken exotics pack?

Here's my take: 1) Quicksilver Storm 2) Wish Ender 3) Dragon's Breath 4) Witherhoard 5) Malfeasance 6) Izanagi's Burden 7) Polaris Lance 8) The Lament 9) Osteo Striga 10) Sunshot Honorable Mentions: - Leviathan's Breath - Graviton Lance - Conditional Finality Special shout out to: - Gjallarhorn - Divinity - Lumina - Tractor Cannon I have no gripes with your list other than no mention of Malfeasance ;)

Sunshot’s feelings are hurt lol

Fucking WOW! I was not expecting #1. Shows I need to up my game.

For me, i think sunshot is the best exotic in the game even tho i didnt get the catalyst yet !

To this day I still have my osteo striga in my inventory to swap to if I need it The weapon is just to good and can pump some ridiculous amounts of over time damage into enemies Izinagi is one of my most used weapons in this game it goes hard

Dragon’s Breath is the best season pass exotic we’ve gotten in years and it’s really not debatable

I wonder if hawk moon still on the list

Top tier destiny content as always 👌

I want wish ended so badly, but because bung hole went and made a fucky wucky my quest is glitched and I can’t reset the quest, even though I’ve done everything.

Buried bloodline not being in here is crazy

Tractor cannon going undrafted is kind of crazy

Is it possible to make a pve build with tarrabah for titan?

Ghorn must be #1. tractor #2. also in the current meta navigator needs to be here, since it enables the strongest playstyle in the game currently.

No mention of Sunshot?

*graviton, quicksilver storm and sunshot for me*

is this ranked best in pve, best for titans?

The fact that graviton lance wasn't mentioned is a crime

Always forget the second part of dragonsbreath and kills me

good fun video

Great list, but personally I'd put Malfeasance in the top 5. Intrinsic anti Unstop and destroys any activity with Taken in it. Anarchy is like 80% back to where it was before it got hammered with nerfs and you can stack it with other people running it unlike Dragons Breath, but 1v1 I agree DB is superior.

Why does no one ever talk about 1000 voice s .......??????!!!!!!

My opinion on these exotics. Leviathans Breath is good but idk if it’s good enough to have to use special ammo. Osteo Striga- fuck Osteo Striga and anyone who uses it (in Crucuble) Polaris Lance- ‘hot take’ but I don’t think it’s that good. Izanagis- absolutely fantastic, great long range for bosses like Oryx, Riven (kinda) etc… Witherhoard- the greatest Exotic Destiny has ever had, how is it #6 ? Gjallarhorn- the overall 2nd best exotic Destiny has ever had, how is it #5? Lament- Eh it’s whatever. WishEnder- best weapon for Legend Lost Sectors and GMs if it Barrier. Quicksilver- okay I know I’m contradicting myself (kinda) but when it comes to just using a gun in literally anything and not feel like using the “meta” guns for that encounter, it may just be the overall best gun ever. But whatever. Dragonsbreath- way overrated. Good. But super overrated.

I got to number 2 and was like, no Dragons breath and no Malfeasance yet...

for me for sure its tommys matchbook

I wish One Thousand Voices was among the best, but, unfortunately, they refuse to buff it! I’d say +8 in reserves and at least a %15 damage increase would do wonders for 1k. The ignition and scorching was cool, but not enough.

I want a game mode where we can run an exotic in each slot quicksilver polaris and dragons breath and just raise hell while we praise dale as the vanguard intended

Thunnnndddeeerrrrlord !!

Sunshot is way better than osteo striga right now.

Pour one out for our fallen king, Arbalest.

Fixed your list. 1) No land beyond. 2) Edge transit. 3) Khvostov (White). 4) Driving through enemies with your sparrow. 5) Fall damage. 6) Skyburners oath (No catalyst). 7) The Eververse store. 8) Khvostov (Exotic). 9) Dregs promise. 10) A bag of strange coins.

Conditional finality should be on here

I think it's a good list. I'm sure the griefers will be along to complain about tractor cannon or something 🤷‍♂️

thanks.

Aye!! Im the 1000th like on this video.

i think with the GL reserves anarchy is a solid top 10 choice as well

The combo of Qicksilver Storm and Actium War Rig has been brutal for me!

Genuinely upset thunderlord isn't here

Conditional finality and malfeasance 🎉

Thunderlord

#1 is definitely Quicksilver Storm Dragon's Breath being overrated due to the seasonal artefacts

In my opinion I think gravitron should be in there

Where sunshoy

Nice list. I would swap polaris lance with witherhoard, without the catalyst the reload on it is abysmal.

Sunshot

FYI Polaris cannot stun unstop and barriers at the same time. While radiant, ignitions (FROM THE GUN ITSELF) no longer stun unstops until the radiant buff goes away

8:17 and then they nerf the gun😢

Where's mantior

you forgot sunshot.

Nah like no way ur saying that fucking dragons breath or quicksilver are better than gjally

malfecance

No lands

dragon breath nah bro wth

You forgot vex

Amico la tua classifica è molto discutibile.... , cioè stai dicendo che un arma fp2 come il soffio del drago che la possono ottenere tutti e meglio delle armi che paghi con i DLC tipo le armi delle incursioni.... , ti do ragione perche tanto con i nerf che ci sono nel gioco Ogni arma diventa Usa e getta non ci sarà mai un meta fisso in questo gioco....

Putting Polaris instead of conditional finality is crazy

Darci mad good but there’s better

The witherhoard does not have a auto loading hoister

How is quicksilver storm not in top 10,

I would argue that the list is bias for the most of its benefits comes from current artifacts. I can say for sure that there are way stronger weapons like Malfeasance which burns Bosses like crazy ( solo broken throne with it was the way to go and because of the fact that the triggered shots do not take range on considderation you can easely take down big enemys from afar as well. I melted both of the bigshot bosses Oger and Dra Cul with this baby and as it is a bosskillerweapon it does its job perfectly. On top of it it has no ammo issues, a 20 shot clip that allows for 3 times the explosion to trigger and this is also a small aoe as well not even Gjallahorn can compete when it comes to consecutive damage. the biggest flaw is that reloading takes a bit of time if not properly build this can be frustrating. By the way Dragon breath is not even able to kill a normal lost sector boss in one shot therefore not worth it you probably gain a lot of its use from your build. Wishender vs Malfeasance bythe way is also in favour of Malfeasance even I like the mechanic for Wishender it is not as strong as Malfesance overall but stil a good option for champions

First.

Witherhoard most overrated weapon in the game. Only useful in low end content

This how I know this dude if full of shit 😆 top 10?????

number 2 is trash

Based on footage, quicksilver is ass

The narration was annoying. Work on your mono tone.

Quicksilver is my favorite gun.

Very bad choices
