Summary
Destiny 2players are always seeking new riches and sources of loot. Whether it’s turning gods into guns, or delving into the most difficult content for power,Destiny 2players will face anything that will see them earn rewards. As such, it’s no surprise that some players crave the elusive drops of Adept weapons from Grandmaster Nightfalls,Trials of Osiris, and Raids in Master difficulty.
The best Adept weapons inDestiny 2often provide players with unique bonuses to their weapon’s stats in PvE and PvP. Whilst Adept weapons are not essential, they are a visual flex. They also have the Adept Mods bonus, which allows players to improve specific stats that can give players the edge over the standard variant.

The perk pool for Wild Style wasn’t the best to start with, but recent updates to the weapon have made it a capable monster for PvE. The use ofa Solar Energy grenade launchermeans that players have great opportunities to clear out ads and even hot-swap between weapons during a boss damage phase. It’s a great ad-clear weapon, but it also serves no purpose in PvP.

Linear Fusion Rifles are always a classic use againstyellow bars and bossesin PvE content. Scintillation joins the battle with pride thanks to its ability to three-round burst, providing quick fire and hard hits. Sadly, it’s a weapon that isn’t going to benefit PvP players, and even with the best perks for the weapon, the DPS output for Linear Fusion Rifles isn’t what it once was, but the God Roll basically voids reloading, which certainly helps to maximize damage.

There is a good reason that the Buzzard is labeled as the harbinger of death. Its high magazine, quick reload, and devastatingly fast impact make it a beast when it comes to PvE content. Players can easily clear out smaller ads and even provide competent damage to champions and other tough enemies thanks to perks like Kinetic Tremors.Even in PvP, this Kinetic Sidearm can demolish Guardians, although the range won’t be on their side.

Not only are the weapon designs of King’s Fall beautiful to look at, but they are rewarding to fire. The Adept variant of Smite of Merian grants unique bonuses to the gun that make it superior to its normal variant, and with recent buffs to Pulse Rifles, it’s definitely worth farming for in PvE. Even in the Crucible, players are going to have a good time regardless of rolls thanks to the range and firing ability of this grand weapon.

Hand Cannons don’t just look cool, they can have a great set of perks and fire speed to make them top contenders. Whilst everyone can enjoy Warden’s Law, it’s mostly going to be for the Hunters out there whoutilize theLucky PantsExotic Leg Armor, as each hit from this Kinetic Hand Cannon will punch harder with more damage. In 6v6 encounters, players can easily have a fun time thanks to the Hand Cannon archetype, but in Trials content, they might struggle a tad.

SMGs have always been a dangerous choice for PvP players. The fast rate of fire and devastating impact makes a compact weapon of death that every Guardian should fear, especially if they remember the days of the Immortal (Adept). Shayura’s Wrath comes close to the crown thanks to its range drop-off and perks, allowing players to fight with strength in PvE content and through the Crucible to laser their opponents.

The Summoner has the potential to be a defiant beast in The Crucible thanks to its high magazine and fire rate, which only grows in strength with each kill thanks to Onslaught. Players can run around in PvE and PvP content holding down the trigger and causing immense stagger and flinch on their foes as they drop them dead with one of the best Auto Rifles inDestiny 2.

The frame of Aisha’s Care (Adept) definitely cements it as a capable weapon, especially in the current metawith The Final Shape. Providing players with a two-shot burst and reduced flinching, players can contest PvP players at decent ranges, and even push back on the hordes of ads in PvE. Players will have a diabolical weapon in their hands, where each headshot to a Crucible player could cause them to die or reconsider returning to the lobby in fear.

The Igneous Hammer is devastating, and every hit with this weapon will feel like a nightmare latching on, whilst the wielder merrily shoots bullets from the barrel with ease. It’s a fearsome weapon in PvP, and those lucky enough to own it with a decent roll canfind themselves murderingthe competition with great range, impact, and fire rate for a hand cannon. The perk pool is expansive for Igneous Hammer, and players will be able to find the perfect one for them extremely easily.
