Top 26 Weapons you NEED in Destiny 2 (+ free-to-play) 

The original list was 50+ and this is final_final2_finalforsure_okactualfinal_nomoreallowed_final.mp4 (yes, outbreak is amazing and yes I forgot to add slammer in the voiceover, hence why it's in the video as a visual only -- I'm human lol). At least I didn't say Deep Stone Raid Crypt or anything...

I’m surprised Outbreak Perfected isn’t here. It’s amazing for everything, the mission is F2P, AND it’s craftable.

Easy to get Sunshot Start new character, go to tower immediately. Go to Ikora. Learn a subclass and pick the solar subclass for your guardian. Instantly get Sunshot in less than 10 minutes with zero effort Repeat again, but pick the void class to get Graviton Lance

A lot of guns left off this list, but graviton lance should've been included with sunshot and trinity ghoul for ad clear exotics. Does the same job as the other two but gives a void option.

Sunshot is also available from the solar quest you get from Ikora, very easy to do

I have an empty vessel with disorienting, auto loading holster, and disruption break. It pairs really well with Outbreak Perfected or Thorn. It also drops from strike playlists so is available to anyone.

I just realized there actually is over 60 rockets now and I only use 2 😂

Ok. I havent played since year 1 of Destiny 2. Came back for the Final Shape. 2011 power now. And this is by far the best video of how he explains where to get and how to craft and actually shows the spot. Not just abreviating perks and saying the name of places, like we are all suppose to know; which a lot of creators have been doing. Absolute Banger of a video. S++++ Tier. Sub to this dude.

If you’re a new light, the solar kit from ikora (I believe) gives you a sunshot. Every time I used it I got sunshot.

Thanks for the video! I keep watching your content despite going through a "D2 boredom phase". I am still at step 5 of the Final Shape campaign. I am a solo occasional player with a busy life. Small exposures to the game is all I can bare so far (PVP matches mostly). 🙂 Keep the videos coming!

I would recommend eager edge swords to people but considering it’s strictly for movement it’s quite a silly placement imo. Been in too many raid groups that kill people because of this perk. If your a noob or have not played the game much wait a bit until you get a better feel for the controls. Get weapons that will actually help you beat things first then worry about how fast your doing it lmao.

I absolutely luv how you use graphics & chalkboards to explain stuff 👍👍 best content creator around who explains stuff in plain english 🙂

Listen bro I just want that Stupid glaive from Salvation’s Edge but nobody wants to teach the raid. Like it’s impossible to find someone. I’m so tired of The Enigma. Some generic ahh glaive. I want something in the void slot that’s meaningful.

It is worth getting the dares swords for the hot swap origin trait, which maxes the handling when you take any damage

Really enjoyed this video!! Very helpful for newbies and even a nice checklist for us vets.

Thank you so much for heavily talking about something being f2p or not ong theres so much meta stuff behind paywalls lmao but i love some more accessible options

“Deep Stone Raid Crypt” cmon Bungie, add Crypts and be sure to include the Deep Stone Raid!

One other Rocket Launcher to watch out for is Crux Termination IV. It's a world drop so you're not farming this weapon actively, but it can roll Clown Cartridge / Bipod for similsr rocket dumping to Hothead

Don't know how many people know this but from onslaught you can get the seasonal armour and seasonal weapons to drop. Don't know if this is for the 10 wave mode but definitely for a 50 wave mode so free to play players can still get seasonal weapons outside of the season pass

the Leviathan bow is one of my fav exotics it hits so hard but is so underrated

Disorienting and chill clip is the combo I didn’t know I needed

HELLA helpful for this D2 vet! Thanks!

11:03 Just wanna point out that if you’re using extended mag you get 75 ammo and then 150 with max reconstruction. You could possibly use appended with backup mag for 75 ammo too but yeah

you can actually get sunshot from the solar new light kits when you start the game. if you have a free character slot you can get it in about an hour.

A good alternative for the summoner if you don't wanna farm trials is gnawing hunger (I believe that's right spelling in english, sorry if it isn't), you can get this from focusing gambit engrams, and yes, it's gambit, but hey, if you're new or returning you probably aren't tired of it yet, so go give it a try, I've been using it since it was introduced years ago and still holds up, you just need zen moment and it'll do the trick, but if you can get zen + rampage it's incredible

I'm surprised he didn't mention Elsie's rifle as a replacement for no time to explain. I get it's in the energy slot, but it's pretty much the same gun model that no time was based on. Since it was the original stranger's rifle in D1.

21:13 Still Hunt is bonkers, but it really bugs me that it completely ruins my experience with other exotics that have similar mechanics because they lose their buffs not only when you die but even if you stow them away. Still Hunt even keeps its buff when you die which should be the standard.

I have a 5/5 wardens law and can solo any content outside of raid encounters on hunter. You pretty much win the game if you have it with lucky pants

7:41 Make sure to reset your Vanguard rank at least once, because it can be focused with three options in both column 3 and 4

I would add in the BXR-55 Battler aka the Halo Battle Rifle. It's a drop from doing the Dares of Eternity.

You can't get any of the rocket sidearms since they're all behind a paywall. Indebted Kindness is behind warlord's ruin, The Call you can get through the ghost, but he doesn't actually unlock as a vendor unless you get the dlc, and Aberrant Action isn't free since you can't focus it through failsafe without the season pass.

as a veteran player (over 2k hours) this is the best list I've seen for new / returning players. Well done here mate

Ok so at 1:40 i stopped the video and said to myself, "i gotta follow this guy"... I clicked on the bell aaannnddd I'm already subbed ( facepalm) 😵

4:37 you can obtain Sunhsot also through the light starter Kits by Ikora on the solar starter Kit

Damn, that was legit content. Tons of offered alternatives, with many "did you know, it also..." tidbits for guns i thought i knew everything about. Kudos 👏

What I've gathered from this video is Chill Clip being somewhat overloaded with its ability to deal with every champion bar breaking the barrier champ's shield.

Since you mentioned a lot of raid stuff and none of SE one's: Nullify has Firefly/Heal-clip + incandescent combo and deal insane dmg to basically everything, i crafted 3 of them. Summum Bonum best dps sword(remember: you can't pair Lament with wolfpack Ergo sum). Critical Anomaly best weapon for any activity with champion's w current artifact, it's sniper for barrier's, has chillclip(pair with explosive payload and you will also slow everything around champ) for other two and can deal insane dmg. Also with one prismatic fragment it can refill own magazine to full at third shot. Non-Denouement is basically Ghoul but legendary. Immenense probably best submachine gun atm. Also basic trait(Collective Purpose) awesome for any group PvE activity, especially in raids. And Chaos Reshaped one of the best and easiest to use dmg bust perk.

Physic, not Psychic. Also, Mobility doesn't increase Sprint Speed (in your explanation of Rose), but Lightweight does increase your sprint speed by 7.5%.

13:40 bro forgor Ragnild-D 😢

reminder: Apex is technically F2P because you can do an OOB in the dreaming city to get to one of the secret chests that drop it. I forgot how to do the oob, but tutorials are probably out there.

Thank you for this Time to grind

There was a time when Beyond Light, Shadow Keep, & Witch Queen were free to download permanently. Not sure about consoles, but PC f2p players should have access to more loot pools for the better weapons. Commemoration on Gryfalcons is a fun pair I've enjoyed using.

This is one of the best videos on the subject. Lots of information, but not too much talking

Technically we saw two rocket sidearms at the same time, one being exotic from the same dungeon.

Sun shot is so goddamn busted it’s one of the first exotics I got and I almost IMMEDIATELY completed an advanced nightfall back in Witch Queen. Favorite exotic in the game 100%

This is really helpdul thank you

Note for sun shot u can get it by collecting the solar new light kit from ikora

I got sunshot in my first day playing destiny 2 years ago 😭 I thought it was like an exotic they would just give you

For weapon 10 you can also go for hammerhead from onslaught which roles either equivalent perks

A good alternative to 4th horseman is a shotty with cascade point

16:41 they changed how chill clip works so rapid fire frames need 3 shots to freeze whilst other weapons need 2 shots... Aurvandil FR6 is another great chill clip weapon you can focus at banshee when it's available and it is able to get Reconstruction Chill clip

This video got me to realize I’ve had quicksilver storm glued on for over a year 50k kills yikes

Heritage Succession Izinagi Forbearance calus mini tool Eager edge sword Apex predator Some of my favorite weapons in the game

11:23 Hammerhead should be mentioned

For new players and returning players in my clan the first thing I told them to get was an Ammit. It's at banshee, craftable and super easy to get early on. It's not the best thing in the game but it's a great starter gun thatll carry you through most content, pretty decent in pvp too. Hell I have every pattern in the game and I still use it from time to time.

What an awesome video definitely have some new things to grind for, thank you!

I still have an old blast furnace from black armory with amazing perks

BUMP IN THE NIGHT ROCKET LAUNCHER IS THE BOMB

19:52 the deep stone raid crypt

Should’ve mentioned crux termination for an alternative to apex - it’s almost basically the arc counter part!

9:18 the new version of undercurrent had this one but bungo removed it and I am sad, it was great(it only worked on the explosion and not on the wave but it was very good)

my mans not mentioning Le monarque, Riskrunner and Graviton Lance at the same time as sunshot and trinity ghoul is f tier priorities (honorable mentions to tikkus divination and cloudstrike)

Fucking incredible video! Thanks man

Sunshot is also the last 150 archetype hand cannon in the game!!!

What a great video. Im kinda new to D2 so info like this is helpful

The dreaming city sniper is rapid fire and solar and can get some good rolls for PvE

I would recommend the slamer ove th other swords, eager edge+cold steel is too good

palindrome my most beloved

I have a RL which has ENVIOUS ASSASIN + RECONSTRUCTION, making it 4 loaded rockets

I have a GL wave with envious assassin, I can get 3 in a clip haha

After the nerf and its inability to work with pack hunter from Ergo Sum, the Lament is currently the worst heavy sword dps option, trailing far behind normal swords with pack hunter or a caster frame perfect fifth Ergo Sum. This sword loses in dps to a special weapon. The build around it is fun, but It's not great for dps anymore.

Revision Zero is AMAZING. Everyone should use it. Heavy burst is fantastic. Anti-barrier. A sniper mode with free ammo.

Ah yes, my favourite endgame activity, the Deep Stone Raid Crypt 😅

We need more videos like these, bravo

Do you have a video on how to properly set up your stats I always end up loosing too much recovery or resilience when trying to play with them. I'm a returning player and I haven't played since shadowkeep

Summoner isn’t f2p as trials is locked behind the dlc every time a new one releases. Felt that should be noted.

Confused why you wouldn’t recommend Elsie’s as a replacement for no time considering they’re both aggressive frames and same with recommending hammerhead

I hate getting killed by the wither in iron banner!

Can you imagine being a new player to Destiny 😪

yo luminas actually pretty good too not just rose

It´s funny that you didn´t let people (meaning the new players) to know that Eager Edge perk alone doesn´t let you Shatter Skate --> you need to learn how to do that, the sword doesn´t do it for you haha 😀 (love your content!)

Fellow guardians. I’m a returning d1 vet that gave up on d2 when curse of osiris dropped. Bit overwhelming with all the content in the game. Any tips for what missions/activities i should prioritise?

I’m surprised graviton lance is not mention because this excotic weapon is the same as sun shot excotic weapon.

Really good video but to make it clear, beyond light, shadowqueen and Wich Queen are both free the new season. Btw do you know if you can get the new echo weapons with the seasonal armor? I got the armor being f2p and it gives 5% reputation to all sources. Isn't that a way to get the new sidearm?

Good info.

crux termination is an incredible rocket with alloy casing clown cartridge and explosive light, and aurvandil ive found to be a better riptide as its only a 2 burst freeze and reconstruction can give it 9 chillclip shots in a mag

Haven't played D2 for years. I'm genuinely pissed off the Matador and Fellwinter's still dominate the crucible, number 1 and 2 reasons for controllers getting launched across the room 😭

1:45 you know tecnicaly halo magnum is a rocket sidearm😅😅😅

Have you checked if freezing barrier champs actually stops them from putting up barrier? I haven't gotten it to work since the start of season of the wish

Which energy weapon would you say is ideal for completing enigma protocol?

No Rufus, no hammerhead, why’re those being left out when pretty much everyone I’ve talked to agrees they’re top 2 for those guns

Fantastic!

my man confused the slammer for another falling guillotine version. but the slammer comes from nightfalls, and is also rather easily accessible. easier than the brave guillotine imo

Great info 👍

All beginners, take these recomendations with a grain of salt

Manticore where? Also, graviton lance should be with sunshot and murder bow

Great guide

I gotta say, how is the Elsie’s not the go to replacement if u don’t have no time to explain? It’s quite literally the same gun besides the exotic perks😅 it functions the exact same

Oh nice i found trinity ghoul just 2 days ago from a random exotic ,it looks fun for the lightning

I got sunshot from ikora rey.
