Quick Links
Season of the Chosen has arrived in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2, and there are a lot more weapons than we were expecting. It was a famine during Season of the Hunt, but now we’ve got almost 30 weapons to analyze for the best possible perk combinations. Crucible, Strikes,🌟 Gambit, and the new seasonal Battlegrounds Event all got weapons, along with the return of the Umbral Engram system from Season 11.
We’ve got way too many🌄 weapons to discuss to was🐻te time, so let’s hop right to it!
Updated July 20th, 2021, by Charles Burgar: Destiny's weapon sandbox varies wildly between PvE and PvP. Certain weapon archetypes, perks, and overall playstyles shine brighter in either game type. To reflect this, we've updated this guide to include PvE and PvP rolls for players to chase. A table of contents has also been added to make navigating to specific weapons much easier.
Brass Attacks
If you were sad about Breachlight being sunset, let me introduce you to Brass Attacks🐠, a very similar Aggressive Frame tw🦄o-burst Sidearm.
Best PvE Roll
I'm pleased to report that there is basically not a single perk combinatio🧸n on this weapon that iಌs bad, except for possibly Slideshot, depending on how much you slide.
I'm going to shoot for Hammer-Forged Rifling to bring up this Sidearms range, along with Ricochet Rounds or Light Mag. Feeding Frenzy and One For All is likely too good to ignore, but Surplus and Wellspring is also there, as is Rapid Hit and Rampage. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Frenzy per is here too. Even the Season Pass version of this gun is great with Overflow and Symꦍpathetic Arsenal. I can't sing Brass Attacks' praises enough.

Best PvP Roll
If you enjoy two-round burst Sidearms in PvP, Brass Attacks was made just for you. Killing Wind and Wellspring is an excellent roꦇll on this gun, improving its range while granting ability energy on kill. With how powerful abilities are in Destiny 2's PvP sandbox,🍃 having your grenade up a few seconds faster than everyone else is arguably better than a simple damage boost.

Bottom Dollar
Bottom Dollar is🐈 a 120 Hand Cannon that competes with the likes of The Steady Hand and True Prophecy. You can find this Hand Cannon from Gambit matches, although it has a ludicrous perk pool that makes grinding for a specifඣic roll next to impossible. Fortunately, there are many good combos here.
Best PvE Roll
Surplus, Killing Wind, Rapid Hit, Rangefinder, Feeding Frenzy in the first column. Wellspring, High-Impact Reserves, Rampage, Dragonfly, Demolitionist, Thresh, and Explosive Payload in the second column. Add a Chambered Compensator for near-perfect recoil and a Tactical Mag, and you'll be set. Most 120s can roll with a reload and damage perk combination, so we'll recommend a more ability-centric ro๊ll. If you prefer perks that buff the gun itself, get a roll with Rapid Hit and Multikill Clip.

Best PvP Roll
Bottom Dollar has bypassed the 120 range nerfs seen throughout Season of the Splicer. This is thanks to two perks: Rangefinder and Explosive Payload. Both perks allow Bottom Dollar to map Guardians as if this gun was a Scout Rifle. If you don't engage from distances beyond medium range, replace Explosive Payload with Multikill Clip for some easy two taps after a double kill.]

Cartesian Coordinate
Rapid-Fire Fusion Rifles 𝓡have historically had abysmal range making their usage problematic, but Season of the Chosen has buffed Fusion Rif𓆉le range by as much as 16%. Is that enough for Cartesian Coordinate? No. Not even close.
Best PvE Roll
You're going to want a Red Dot Micro sight and the Projection Fuse battery to squeeze out as much range as possible from this thing. Under Pressure and High-Impact Reserves can be a neat combo to run, but Graverobber and Swashbuckler are ri𝕴ght there. Smash a red bar, blow away a y✃ellow bar. Profit.

A typical Under Pressure and High-Impact Reserves roll is good on this weapon. Well, as good as a Rapid-Fire Fusion can be. If you want to get a little experimental, a roll with Hip-Fire Grip and Backup Plan is surprisingly good as a panic weapon.

Code Duello
Rockets hav�ꦏ�e received a 30% damage buff in Season of the Chosen, which makes Code Duello a candidate for being a powerhouse heavy weapon.
Best PvE Roll
Code Duello can roll with the Lasting Impression perk, which increases blast radius and damage by a lot at the price of a delayed explosion. On the downside, there's no tracking for Code Duello, so you've actually got to ha𒁃ve good aim with rockets to make good use of it. Given how so few of us have used non-tracking Rocket Launchers, this might prove a difficult learning curve. Still, I think Code Duello will be a fantastic weapon to take against large, slow-moving bosses.

Eternal Blazon
My poor Patron Of Lost Causes has been 𒐪reborn as Eternal Blazon, a Lightweight, 200 RPM Scout Rifle that you can get fr🅠om focusing your Umbral Engrams.
Best PvE Roll
Eternal Blazon can roll with Full Auto Trigger System, giving you a viable alternative to Auto Rifles, and either Kill Clip or One For All for damage. This weapon suffers a bit on range and stability, so look to shore those up with the sight and magazine. I recommend the Flash HS5 sight and Ricocheౠt Rounds, but Appended Mag can help with an extra two bullets 🌞in the magazine, and those two bullets will go a long way with Full-Auto Trigger.

Lightweight Scout Rifles are surprisingly good in PvP, provided you keep your distance. Full Auto Trigger System and Kill Clip is a solid perk combination that prioritizes ease of use above all else. If you don't fancy Kill Clip, Rangefinder and Thresh can roll in its place. And if you don't like Full Auto, give Killing Wind a try.

Extraordinary Rendition
Yet another Aggressive Frame Submachine Gun to go along with the likes of the Ikelos Submachine Gun and Cold Front, Extraordinary Rendition falls in between Ikelos and Cold Front in terms of stats. But what sets this gun apart fr💟om its competition is the excellent assortment of pꦚerks it can roll with.
Best PvE Roll
In the first column, you've got Overflow, Surplus, or Outlaw to make reloading easier (or happen less often). Zen Moment can keep this gun’s recoil in check if you feel it's a bit out of control, which is pretty common for Aggressive Frame Submachine Guns. In the second column is One For All, Multi-Kill Clip, and Rampage, all great damage options, but also the Frenzy perk. This perk adds damage, handling, and reload speed if you're in combat for a long time, making it an ideal raid weapon. And don't forget Thresh for added super energy.
Really, this gun has so many great options it's hard to choose. Pick whichever combination you lik🐠e, but this is what I'm going for.

It won't beat SMG juggernauts like Multimach or Shayura's Wrath, yet this SMG can hold its own. Look for a roll with Surplus and Rampage to turn this weapon into a Guardian-slaying machine, 🍌provided you hold on to your abilitie꧃s.

Far Future
This has got to be the most disappointing Sniper Rifle I've ever seen in Destiny 2. No Triple Tap, no Fourth Time's The Charm,💯 no High-Impact Rese🎐rves, no Field Prep, no Outlaw, and no Snapshot Sights. If you wanted to skip a weapon in Season of the Chosen, skip Far Future.
Best PvE Roll
The best you can do is maybe Surplus and Wellspring in PvE. But honestly? That's not a good roll for PvE. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Look for a different Sniper Rifle.

Frozen Orbit
As bad as Far Future is, Frozen Orbi✱t makes up for it with some amazinไg perk combinations.
Best PvE Roll
I'm partial to Triple Tap and High-Impact Reserves for boss-cracking, but you could also do Auto-Loading Holster or Vorpal Weapon in either perk slot. Sadly, as a Crucible reward, Frozen 🌄Orbit has way too many different perks to roll for effectively. Maybe you'll get lucky over the course of a season, but the odds aren't great. If you do, you'll be one of the elite few that just happened to come across a good roll one day.

You'll have a hard time finding a better PvP Sniper than this. Killing Wind and Snapshot Sights is the go-to for most Crucible veterans, although consider a roll with Kill Clip. While Kill Clip is active, ꧋this weapon one-taps Guardians to the body if they have a low Resilience rating—which is most players.

Imperial Needle
With more accuracy and better aim assist than Whispering Slab, Imperial Needle is likely to become your new favorite Lightweight Frame kinetic Bow. You'll still want to shore up that accuracy with Polymer String and Straight Fl♓etching, and maybe even an accuracy Masterwork too.
Best PvE Roll
Imperial Needle gets the Impulse Amplifier perk that improves your arrow's velocity at the cost of reload speed. For amateur bow users, ꦜthis might make striking targets a little easier, but professional bow users will likely find this a hindrance since they've already mastered the lead required for a regular bow shot.
Sympathetic Arsenal can be a great perk on bows since it reloads your heavies, and since Ro💯ckets are the new in-thing, this might be an excellent pairing with a nice Rocket Launcher.

Lightweight Bows aren't great in PvP, but Imperial Needle does have a few perks that make it a solid choice. Impulse Amplifier is surprisingly good here, making your arrows virtually hitscan. When paired with Opening Shot, this Bow hardly misses. You can replace Impulse Amplifier with Archer's Tempo if you prefer faster firing Bows.

Multimach CCX
Escape Velocity? Is that you? Nope! It's the other new Iron Banner weapon, which is coincidentally the same model and frame as Escape Velocity. However, the Multimach CCX has better overall stats, a perfect 100 recoil stat, and One For All in the third perk column. It can also roll with archetype-bending Iron Banner perks. ﷺThat's pretty cool.
Best PvE Roll
In the first perk column, you'll either want Threat Detector or Killing Wind. Subsistence usually takes away too many bullets for my comfort, but this column is ultimately down to preference. Tactical Mag is always the best magazine whenever it appears, and Model 8 Red is the sight that helps to bring up the Multimach's lackluster range. Pair any column one perk with One for All or Kill Clip for a good time.
