If you've ever been interested in the Destiny series, now is the t🍰ime to give it෴ a try. I mean literally, it couldn't be more accessible currently to give Bungie's MMO a swing.
Right now, the Forsaken DLC has fine-tuned the mechanics of ౠthe game and breathed new life into its loot system.
Plus, along with that, Bungie also announced that Destiny 2 is free to play until November 18th, 2018. So right now if you download Destiny 2 through the Battle Net launcher, you're able to experience an entire freshly invigorated MMO at absolutely no charge. Deals like that don't come around often. Now personally, I've played a lot of Destiny 2. I fell off before any of the DLC came out but you can bet I came back for Forsaken. Along with a tear-jerking new campaign, the Forsaken DLC has also introduced new classes, ultimates, armors, weapons, and mechanics. Mainly it has completely changed its loot system. Previously every weapon had set stats and perks. The only thing that determined if a weapon had more power is if you got it to drop at a higher light level. But, with Forsaken, that's completely changed. Legendary weapons especially have a randomized element to them. Any time you get a weapon it has a chance to have a couple of perks equipped. These are randomly selected from a pool of perks. What this means is that every weapon now has the opportunity to at least be viable, depending on the perks you rolled. Weapons that were completely useless before, can now be PvP viable. The gap between weapons is much smaller, but there still is a gap. And to help make that gap more understandable, I'm here to tell you about the 20 Best Legendary Items In Destiny 2: Forsaken (And The 10 Weakest).
30 𓆏 Best: Abide Th🅰e Return
First off we have my own biased opinion. Swords are the absolute best in Destiny 2. And you know why?
Because they're different. Swords are melee, they're in the third person, and they're brutal.
And the Abide the Return is an extra special level of brutal. Its one of the weapons from the Dreaming City, and it absolutely needs both Relentless Strikes and Whirlwind. Whirlwind especi𝔍ally is a crucial perk for this poking stick. But if you get the right combination in your roll, this is an unstoppable power weapon that's snazzy looking to boot.
29 🧸 Best: Trust
Trust is an incredibly accurate name for this hand cannon. Trust that it looks amazing as an old style revolver in this space-magic setting. Trust, tha💫t it has incredibly strong power and impact. And finally, trust that with the Dragonfly or Rapid Hit perks, it's as good as any exotic.
The Trust hand cannon is my pick for the top Legendary hand cannon, hands down.
Its only flaw is that its range⛎ is a bit weak, but if you can close the distance, there is just no stopping y🌠ou.
28 🧸 Weak: Twilight Oath ⛎
There are a lot of sniper rifles in Destiny 2. There's honestly quite a good number of snipers just in the Forsaken DLC. In fact, one of the Exotics, the♍♑ Queenbreaker was on another list I made as an actually good sniper.
But unfortunately, the Twilight Oath is a bit unnecessary.
Out of all the stats, which would you think would be important for a sniper? Stability maybe? or how about range and impact? Yeah, too bad they're awful on this weapon. Therefore making it one of those weapons that need to be saved with an incredible ♋roll.
27 Best: ✨Bad Omens
Power weapons are a bit weak in Destiny 2 at the moment. Seems like hand cannons a🍌nd standard rifles are the way to go current🍷ly.
But for those that aren't all about the meta and would rather have some fun shooting some rockets, the Bad Omens is for you.
Now, with the new randomized perk system, it is absolutely crucial to roll either Tracking or Cluster Bombs on this bad boy༒. Preferably both, but Cluster Bombs are a must have. The Bad Omens has a great blast radius stat as well as being a mini Gjallarhorn with the right perks.
26 Best: Tigerspite ꦫ
The Tigerspite automatically gets a gold star in my books for somehow managing to both look e⛄legant 💖and intimidating.
It's a weapon that is very well designed. It's also something that is primarily used in PvE.
That's not a bad ♛꧑thing mind you, and if you manage to roll Outlaw, you could even bring it into PvP justifiably. The biggest flaw is its weak impact, but with high impact rounds, that can be fixed. Honestly do whatever you need to do in order to use this weapon, just because it looks so dang good!
25 Weak𝓰: Subtle Calamity
The Subtle Calamity isn't a bad weapon, 𒀰it's just not the best option for a bow. If you can wait until you pull an exotic, the Oath Keeper is incrediꦚble.
But if you'd like a Legendary bow that's better for you, the Arsenic Bite is your choice.
The Subtle Calamity's main draw i﷽s that you can hold the arrow for longer and it'll do more damage the longer it's held. But that's for someone who can charge up an arrow, in PvP, it's pretty chaotic and you don't get the time to charge anything up much.
24 Best: Crooked Fan🐻g ജ
The Crooked Fa🐈ng is a downright intimidating Linear Fusio🐟n Rifle. The barrel has a great design and the touch of green is classy.
The Crooked Fang is on this list because with the right rolls it's just the absolute best Legendary Fusion Rifle.
With Liquid Coils, it'll do tons more damage in the same amount of time. And if you're lucky, give it High Impact Reserves and Boxed Breathing. You'll then ha💮ve a weapon that'll never let you down.
23 Best: Ancient Apocolypse𝔍 Sꦓet
So this is the oddball ent𒁏ry into this list, but the Ancient Apocolypse Set looks really good. It's actually a poor set considering each of its pieces gives Mobility (the worst stat for a Titan). But, it just looks so great!
Personally, I think it looks like a Halo armor set with a bit of Dead Space mixed in.
The helmet is by far the best part of the set and if you use it in combination with a mixed armor set, it's still completely viable. So yeah, this is on the list purely ♊on its appearance. But can you really blame me?
22 Weak: Claws Of👍 The Wolf
The Claws of The Wolf is a disappoi൩ntment because it's probably the best looking Iron Banner weapon.
And yeah, it fires real darn fast, but the damage is incredibly poor.
That'd be fine if you could easily land every shot, but it's accuracy isn't great either! Overall there are higher RPM weapons in this article alone that do more damage. It seems like Bungie was building a niche wea🦂pon here, but they built more than one, and this version ended up at the bottom of the lis🤪t.
21 Best: Misfit ꦐ
And speaking of rifle's that shoot fast and do the job, here we have the Misfit. Honestly a pretty poor name, considering it fits in my lo🅰adout so well.
The Misfit shoots absurdly fast, especially for an Auto Rifle.
It's essentially an SMG in disguise. But unlike an SMG its power is strong, and with the right mods, it can get even stronger. Armor piercing rounds definitely help, and it's accuracy isn't bad either. Overall it's like the Claws of the Wolf, but b🤡etter in almost every way.
