Now with the ability to roll with Incandescent (and the ability to craft it), this pulse rifle continues to dominate most areas of the game.	30th Anniversary event	Slot: Solar | Ammo: Primary | Archetype: Legacy PR-55 PvE God Roll: Outlaw (also good: Demolitionist) + Incandescent (also good: Kill Clip) PvE God Roll: Killing Wind (also good: Perpetual Motion) + Kill Clip	Top-tier

With more perk flexibility while also coming with Eager Edge, it is one of the best swords in the game for general play, and every player should look to have The Other Half in their arsenal.	30th Anniversary event	Slot: Void | Ammo: Heavy | Archetype: Adaptive PvE God Roll: Eager Edge + Whirlwind Blade (also good: Frenzy)	Top-tier

With a unique Hip-Fire reticle and an overall 'snappy' feel, many players will still opt for the Wastelander, despite Lightweights not being in the best of spots right now.	30th Anniversary event	Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Lightweight PvE God Roll: Subsistence + One-Two Punch PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Slideshot) + Opening Shot	Top-tier

While it's often overlooked by newer options and exotics like Path of Least Resistance and The Navigator, Retraced Path continues to hold its own—especially when combined with a strong Solar build.	30th Anniversary event	Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Adaptive PvE God Roll: Subsistence (also good: Feeding Frenzy) + Incandescent (also good: One for All)	Top-tier

The old god rolls still work here, though you might be slightly disappointed to find out Danger Zone was removed from the pool. If you happen to have one with this perk, keep it!	30th Anniversary event	Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Lightweight PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Ambitious Assassin) + Vorpal Weapon	Top-tier

Dares of Eternity weapons now come with the following Origin Trait: Hot Swap.

Tier levels used for this ranking:

• S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapon types.
• A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapon types, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
• B Tier – Average: Decent choices that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.
• C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.
• D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.

How to farm Dares of Eternity loot

With The Witch Queen, Strange Coins can no longer be earned from completing activities in the game. This means farming Dares of Eternity loot became much harder. That said, the situation is finally improving. With the release of Season of the Haunted (S17):

Increased Strange Coins earned from the reward chest in Dares of Eternity from 1 to 3. This does not affect the number of Strange Coins earned from Lightning Round chests.

This won’t bring us back to when Bungie’s 30th Anniversary launched, but it will certainly help ease the process.
