Here since Haunted, Burden has fought off all the nerfs and somehow taken them as buffs, now standing neck and neck with precisions and even some high-impacts for one burst ranges. | Season 17 | Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvP God Roll: Killing Wind + High-Impact Reserves (also good: High-Impact Reserves) | Top-tier |

This weapon fires  staggering projectiles. Strong against Unstoppable Champions."►A recent rework has brought Bastion back into the limelight. Maintaining its old functionality, it now has two additional melee-focused traits, with one acting like a One-Two Punch and the other like a melee-activated Controlled Burst. Perfectly synergizes with many Titan builds! | Season 9 | Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Special | Archetype: ExoticExotic Perk: "Charge to fire 3 spreads of Kinetic slugs. This weapon fires staggering projectiles. Strong against Unstoppable Champions." | Top-tier |
| Glacioclasm |  Glacioclasm Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | High-Impact | Special | Void | Free-to-Play | Timed-Event | A › Strong | Event: Dawning | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Event: Dawning Free-to-Play | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: High-ImpactPvE God Roll: Subsistence + Reservoir Burst ► A refreshed perk pool has breathed new life into Glacioclasm, and while it is held back by its charge time, the introduction of Repulsor Brace and Golden Tricorn allows for a perfectly synergized Void 3.0 build. Pair it with your favorite Void exotic and go to town. | Season 12 | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: High-ImpactPvE God Roll: Subsistence + Reservoir Burst | Top-tier | |
| Cartesian Coordinate |  Cartesian Coordinate Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Rapid-Fire | Special | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | World loot pool | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-FirePvE God Roll: Lead from Gold + Vorpal Weapon ► As a Solar weapon, Cartesian Coordinate synergizes perfectly with a powerful Solar Heavy weapon to generate lots of Elemental Surges.

| Aurvandil FR6 |  Aurvandil FR6 Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | High-Impact | Special | Stasis | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Gunsmith | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Gunsmith Free-to-Play | Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Special | Archetype: High-ImpactPvE God Rolls: Reconstruction + Chill Clip ► Aurvandil shines in its ability to roll with Reconstruction, a formerly raid-exclusive perk. Doubling the magazine allows Chill Clip to have a higher uptime, and the punch of a High-Impact frame will help take down larger targets. This is an exceptional PvE weapon. | Season 19 | Slot: Stasis | Ammo: Special | Archetype: High-ImpactPvE God Rolls: Reconstruction + Chill Clip | Top-tier |
| Royal Executioner |  Royal Executioner Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Solar | Lightfall | Yes | A › Strong | Avalon | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Avalon Lightfall | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvE God Rolls: Envious Assassin + Reservoir Burst (also good: Incandescent) ► One of two craftable fusions with Reservoir Burst, Royal Executioner is an Adaptive fusion that heavily outshines all others. With Envious Assassin, Reservoir Burst has a high uptime on this fusion, and Incandescent provides synergy with Solar 3.0 builds. | Season 20 | Slot: Solar | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvE God Rolls: Envious Assassin + Reservoir Burst (also good: Incandescent) | Top-tier |
| Nox Perennial V |  Nox Perennial V Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | High-Impact | Special | Strand | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Lost Sector | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Lost Sector Free-to-Play | Slot: Strand | Ammo: Special | Archetype: High-ImpactPvE God Roll: Envious Assassin (also good: Lead from Gold) + Controlled Burst ► While Nox lacks the highly sought-after Reservoir Burst, it is the only Kinetic slot fusion rifle that could be considered a backup DPS weapon. Controlled Burst only deals 5% less damage than Reservoir and also decreases the charge time, letting it eke out that extra damage that could make or break a DPS phase. | Season 22 | Slot: Strand | Ammo: Special | Archetype: High-ImpactPvE God Roll: Envious Assassin (also good: Lead from Gold) + Controlled Burst | Top-tier |
| Resounding |  Resounding Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Aggressive | Special | Strand | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Playlist: Pursuit | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Playlist: Pursuit Free-to-Play | Slot: Strand | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AggressivePvE God Rolls: Subsistence + Reservoir Burst ► Sporting the rare Aggressive Frame, Resounding is an interesting but powerful fusion rifle. Now firing in 3 bursts, it's a bit odd to get the hang of, but once you do, you might find yourself enjoying it a bit too much. The only downside is the static roll, which is strong, if not a bit overused. | Episode 3 | Slot: Strand | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AggressivePvE God Rolls: Subsistence + Reservoir Burst | Top-tier |
| Afterlight |  Afterlight Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Void | Episode 3: Heretic | Yes | A › Strong | Heretical Activities | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Heretical Activities Episode 3: Heretic | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvE God Rolls: Discord or Lead from Gold + Reservoir Burst or Destabilizing Rounds ► While it might lack the raw DPS of its contemporaries, Afterlight shines in major ad clear thanks to the broken combo of Discord and Reservoir Burst clearing rooms with ease. | Episode 3 | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvE God Rolls: Discord or Lead from Gold + Reservoir Burst or Destabilizing Rounds | Top-tier |
| Cruoris FR4 |  Cruoris FR4 Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Aggressive | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | World loot pool | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AggressivePvE God Roll: Discord (also good: Clown Cartridge) + One for All (also good: Successful Warm-up or Elemental Honing) ► Yet another Aggressive Frame, Cruoris FR4 has a lot to offer. Rolling with Discord means it has "infinite" ammo, and while One for All is the only consistent damage perk, Successful Warm-up or Barrel Constrictor will let you get just as much use out of Discord. | Episode 3 | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AggressivePvE God Roll: Discord (also good: Clown Cartridge) + One for All (also good: Successful Warm-up or Elemental Honing) | Top-tier |
| Zealot's Reward |  Zealot's Reward Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Rapid-Fire | Special | Void | Shadowkeep Pack | Yes | A › Strong | Garden of Salvation Raid | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP | Garden of Salvation Raid Shadowkeep Pack | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-FirePvP God Roll: Under Pressure + Kickstart or Closing Time ► While Zealot's might have lost High Impact Reserves, it gained two very powerful perks in Kickstart and Closing Time. Having a rapid-fire fusion charge even faster and do more damage or hit from way farther than expected is something any PvP fusion user will enjoy. | Season 8 | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-FirePvP God Roll: Under Pressure + Kickstart or Closing Time | Top-tier |
| Main Ingredient |  Main Ingredient Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Precision | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | World loot pool | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: PrecisionPvP God Roll: Under Pressure + High Impact Reserves (also good: Tap the Trigger) ► With great stats and an insane perk selection (that had to be nerfed due to its potency), Main Ingredient is one of the most used weapons in the Crucible right now, and with reason. | Season 11 | Slot: Arc | Ammo: Special | Archetype: PrecisionPvP God Roll: Under Pressure + High Impact Reserves (also good: Tap the Trigger) | Top-tier |
| Snorri FR5 |  Snorri FR5 Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Precision | Special | Void | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Gunsmith | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP | Gunsmith Free-to-Play | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: PrecisionPvP God Roll: Firmly Planted + High-Impact Reserves (also good: Successful Warm-up) ► With tons of good perks for both PVE and PVP players, Snorri FR5 is arguably the most well-rounded fusion rifle in the game. With extremely high range, Firmly Planted, and Successful Warm-up, this is an obvious pick for PVP. With good range and stability, the Snorri FR5 can be the perfect tool against shotgun apes or just map people from surprising distances. Plus, with the great combination of Compulsive Reloader and Reservoir Burst, Snorri can excel in PVE too. | Season 16 | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: PrecisionPvP God Roll: Firmly Planted + High-Impact Reserves (also good: Successful Warm-up) | Top-tier |
| Pressurized Precision |  Pressurized Precision Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Strand | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Iron Banner | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP | Iron Banner Free-to-Play | Slot: Strand | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Discord) + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Hatchling) PvP God Roll: Firmly Planted (also good: Perpetual Motion) + High-Impact Reserves ► Thanks to some changes to damage falloff, Pressurized Precision is one of the best PvP fusions, hands down. Excellent stats let it one burst considerably farther than most would expect, and Discord is sure to be a hit once Checkmate becomes the norm. | Season 21 | Slot: Strand | Ammo: Special | Archetype: AdaptivePvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Discord) + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Hatchling) PvP God Roll: Firmly Planted (also good: Perpetual Motion) + High-Impact Reserves | Top-tier |
| The Epicurean |  The Epicurean Fusion Rifle | Fusion Rifle | Precision | Special | Void | Witch Queen Dungeon Key | Yes | A › Strong | Duality Dungeon | | Strong ❘ A | Duality Dungeon Episode 3: Heretic | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: PrecisionPvP God Roll: Quickdraw (also good: Well-Rounded) + Moving Target (also good: Backup Plan) ► With the right roll, The Epicurean can have a base stability that matches Main Ingredient's god roll, and when using Counterbalance Stock, can achieve 100 recoil direction. If that isn't enough, consider that Well-Rounded x2 adds 20 range and stability, and you can see why this gun is so powerful. | Season 17 | Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: PrecisionPvP God Roll: Quickdraw (also good: Well-Rounded) + Moving Target (also good: Backup Plan) | Top-tier |

Best D2 Fusion Rifles Today
If you’re prepared to only chase the best of the best, these are the 5 absolute best Fusion rifles in Destiny 2:
5. Techeun Force
Excels in PvE and PvP
► From zero to hero, Techeun Force is yet another example of a reprised weapon done right. While most adaptives are looked over, Techeun Force breaks the mold with both solid stats and solid perks for any content. And yes, it can still get double damage perks.
- PvE God roll: Reconstruction (also good: Rewind Rounds) + Controlled Burst
- PvP God roll: Under Pressure (also good: Kill Clip) + High Impact Reserves (also good: Kickstart)
How to get it: Techeun Force can be acquired from the Last Wish Raid.

4. Zealot’s Reward
Excels in PvP
While Zealot’s might have lost High Impact Reserves, it gained two very powerful perks in Kickstart and Closing Time. Having a rapid-fire fusion charge even faster and do more damage or hit from way farther than expected is something any PvP fusion user will enjoy. These are the top Zealot’s Reward God Rolls:
- PvP God roll: Under Pressure + Kickstart or Closing Time
How to get it: Zealot’s Reward can be acquired from the Garden of Salvation Raid.

3. Scatter Signal
Excels in PvE and PvP
Scatter Signal is the Fusion rifle everybody’s talking about in Season of the Wish. With amazing PvE perks, including Overflow and Controlled Burst, and the benefits of the Rapid-Fire Frame, it’s easy to see why Scatter Signal is one of the most sought-after weapons this season. These are the top Scatter Signal God Rolls:
- PvE God roll:Overflow + Controlled Burst (also good: Slice)
- PvP God roll: Perpetual Motion + Under-Over
How to get it: Scatter Signal can be acquired from the Starcrossed Exotic Mission.

2. Riptide
Excels in PvE
Thanks to Crucible focusing and Chill Clip’s ability to combat all champions, Riptide is not only a must-have weapon; it’s also extremely easy to get. Riptide currently dominates the PvE meta, and TTK changes to Rapid-Fire fusions mean this could be a welcome addition to a PvP loadout. These are the top Riptide God Rolls:
- PvE God roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Compulsive Reloader) + Chill Clip
How to get it: Riptide is a Crucible Weapon that can be acquired from Activity completions, Engrams, and/or rank-ups.

1. Burden of Guilt
Excels in PvP
Burden of Guilt is proof that adaptive fusions are the rising stars of PvP. Here since Haunted, Burden has fought off all the nerfs and somehow taken them as buffs, now standing neck and neck with precisions and even some high-impacts for one burst ranges.
- PvP God roll: Killing Wind + High-Impact Reserves (also good: High-Impact Reserves)
How to get it: Burden of Guilt is a Trials of Osiris Weapon that can be acquired from Trials completions, Engrams, and/or rank-ups.

Fusion Rifles and the Meta
How do Fusions compare to other Special weapons in PvE and PvP?
The PvE Meta
| Weapon Type | Rank | Tier | Trend | Role ❘ Current State | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Fusion Rifles | S › Best | Best ❘ S |  | ►Fusion Rifles are brilliant right now. Outside of Sniper Rifles, Fusion Rifles are the traditional 'backup damage' weapons due to options like Scatter Signal or Cartesian Coordinate. On top of this, you can use Fusions like Riptide for some utility instead, or even Merciless as a unique burst DPS option. ► Best Archetype: Rapid-Fire (500ms Charge Time) - Example: Scatter Signal | PVE Specials |
 Sniper Rifles | S › Best | Best ❘ S | | ► Sniper Rifles have continued to grow into a strong Special Weapon subtype. With options like The Supremacy, Ikelos Sniper Rifle, and Still Hunt, it's very common for Sniper Rifles to be included in DPS rotations. ► Best Archetype: Rapid-Fire (140 RPM) - Example: Supremacy | PVE Specials |
 Shotguns | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A |  | ► Shotguns are pretty decent right now. Slug Shotguns aren't as strong as they once were, and Shotguns have mostly been demoted to being a funnel for One-Two Punch Melee builds. However, they are definitely still capable, and can be used in a general loadout. ► Best Archetype: Lightweight (90 RPM) - Example: Wastelander M5 | PVE Specials |
 Grenade Launchers | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | | ► Grenade Launchers are brilliant right now. They are versatile and are arguably the best pick in almost all areas. GLs have excellent ad control through Blinding Grenades or Wave Frame GLs like Forbearance, and they also have good boss damage in certain hot-swap builds due to Spike Grenades. Simply put, having a strong arsenal of Grenade Launchers is something you should definitely try to do as a player looking to get into high-level content. ► Best Archetype: Wave-Frame - Example: Forbearance | PVE Specials |
 Trace Rifles | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► With the nerfs to the double-special ammo economy, Trace Rifles have been knocked down a notch. Using a Primary weapon is just more efficient these days. However, they remain solid utility weapons and a go-to if players still want to run double-special lodouts. They also have a couple of solid Exotic options too, making them a decent pick right now. | PVE Specials |
 Glaives | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► Glaives require a bit of getting used to, but when you do, they can grant you crazy levels of damage resistance. However, they are quite a risky pick, especially if you haven't learned how to master them first. Glaives are also one-dimensional. There is basically no reason to use their melee attack, which is unfortunate as that is probably the most fun part of the Glaives. ► Best Archetype: Adaptive (55 RPM) - Example: The Enigma | PVE Specials |
 Linear Fusion Rifles | C › Weak | Weak ❘ C | - | ► Linear Fusion Rifles are difficult to rank as there are only two of them. While Arbalest is definitely a powerful weapon, it is by no means a must-pick anymore. And Lorentz Driver isn't exactly a serious contender for PvE. Overall, this archetype is quite weak, especially now that Arbalest isn't the top-pick it used to be. | PVE Specials |
Remember that DPS is one of the most important factors when it comes to PvE. As you know, the higher the DPS, the more damage you can deal to a Boss or Major. This DPS chart includes the DPS numbers for every weapon in Destiny 2.
The PvP Meta
| Weapon Type | Rank | Tier | Trend | Role ❘ Current State | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Shotguns | S › Best | Best ❘ S | - | ► With the introduction of fixed (and consistent) pellet spread patterns per archetype and the reversal of some widely disliked nerfs, Shotguns are finally back. With consistent changes in the right direction, Shotguns are once more a staple pick among many PvP players. ► Best Archetype: Precision (65 RPM) - Example: Matador 64 | PVP Specials |
Fusion Rifles | S › Best | Best ❘ S | - | ► Fusion Rifles have been at the top of the meta for a while now, and it doesn't seem to be changing. Fusions can cover the close to medium ranges excellently, and a good Fusion Rifle player can be incredibly frustrating to play against, no matter the range of the engagement. ► Best Archetype: Precision (780ms Charge Time) - Example: Main Ingredient | PVP Specials |
Sniper Rifles | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | | ► Sniper Rifles are still remarkably powerful, but due to certain flinch changes, they've become slightly harder to use. All this, as well as how strong certain Shotguns are, it's natural for Snipers to fall down a tier, but they are still strong, especially in Trials of Osiris. ► Best Archetype: Adaptive (90 RPM)- Example: Beloved | PVP Specials |
Linear Fusion Rifles | A › Strong | Strong ❘ A | - | ► The special ammo Linear Fusion category of weapon is rather barren, but the two weapons that occupy it, Arbalest and Lorentz Driver, are both forces to be reckoned with. While they have received some deserved nerfs throughout Seasons 17-19, they remain a solid choice for many players wanting a long range option. | PVP Specials |
Trace Rifles | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► Trace Rifles are quite a niche pick and will fall short as a competitive option in most players' hands. Even once you learn to master Trace Rifles, you'll be better off with a Special weapon that can provide a one-hit-kill t rather than one that can be out-dueled by a Primary weapon. ► All Archetypes are 1000 RPM - Best Option: Coldheart | PVP Specials |
Glaives | B › Average | Average ❘ B | - | ► With their buffs in Season 19 and the hit registration improvements they've seen, Glaives can be quite annoying to play against. That said, they are outclassed by other mid/long range options and can't compete at close range due to their lackluster melee. ► Best Archetype: Adaptive (55 RPM)- Example: The Enigma | PVP Specials |
Grenade Launchers | C › Weak | Weak ❘ C | - | ► Grenade Launchers are annoying to play against, and that's about it. They can be used in a hot-swap loadout, but you'll be better served by a Bow like Le Monarque. Grenade launchers can put pressure on your enemies, but they can't bring the heat like some other Special Weapons can. ► Best Archetype: Lightweight - Example: Truthteller | PVP Specials |
Remember that when it comes to PvP, TTK is perhaps the most important factor. As you know, the lower the TTK, the faster you can kill your opponent. This TTK guide includes the TTK figures for every weapon in Destiny 2.
