Destiny 2 Gunsmith: Weapons and Rotations

Banshee-44, also known as the Gunsmith, finally has a relevant role in Destiny 2. Sure, he offers bounties, upgrade materials, and weapon mods. But as of Season 23, he also offers several Foundry weapons. These weapons were not only elusive to farm until now but are considered some of the best weapons in the game.

This guide covers what weapons can be focused at the Gunsmith this season.
