[toc] One of the biggest questions we get after a new Season is: What are the best weapons in the game now?
While we’ve answered that question before, this time we focus on every new weapon released with Bungie’s Season of the Haunted (S17).
In this guide, we cover every Legendary weapon (with their respective PVP and PVE god rolls) released this season, including free-to-play, returning weapons, Season Pass exclusives, and we tell you which ones deserve your attention the most.
A big thank you to all the amazing content creators that helped us put together this resource. Needless to say, their perk recommendations are all excellent and I’m grateful they are part of this.
Destiny 2 Season 16 Weapons: PVE and PVP God rolls
The list starts with the S Tier and moves down from there:
⛔ Reviews ongoing… As you can see, we’re still working on our god roll selection for Season 17 but stay tuned for the update!
| Name | Weapons | Type | Archetype | Ammo | Element | Requirements | In loot pool? | Rank | Source | Available? | Tier rank | Source ❘ DLC | Final Verdict | Released | Perks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hung Jury SR4 |  Hung Jury SR4 | Scout Rifle | Precision | Primary | Kinetic | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Nightfall: The Ordeals |  | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvE + PvP | Nightfall: The Ordeals Free-to-Play | Slot:   PvE God Roll: Rapid Hit + Explosive Payload (also good: Firefly) PvP God Roll: Rapid Hit + Box Breathing ► Hung Jury was already a good Scout Rifle in PvE. However, with the recent changes to Scout in Season 17, Hung Jury can now hang with the best in PvP. Box Breathing allows for an easy 3 tap, giving it a fast and reasonably forgiving time-to-kill. Hung Jury is an excellent pick for everyone. | Season 14 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rapid Hit + Explosive Payload (also good: Firefly) PvP God Roll: Rapid Hit + Box Breathing |
| Drang (Baroque) |  Drang (Baroque) | Sidearm | Together Forever | Primary | Solar | Season 17 | Yes | S › Best | Derelict Leviathan | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvE + PvP | Derelict Leviathan Season 17 | Slot:  PvE God Roll: Wellspring + Incandescent PvP God Roll: Moving Target (also good: Swashbuckler) + Rampage ► One of the strongest sidearms in the game, Drang (Baroque), is back and has excellent rolls for every part of the game. Incandescent alone makes it great for PvE (although not as good as CALUS Mini-Tool), and its high zoom stat and well-rounded first column make it a good PvP pick too. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Wellspring + Incandescent PvP God Roll: Moving Target (also good: Swashbuckler) + Rampage |
| Riptide |  Riptide | Fusion Rifle | Rapid-Fire | Special | Stasis | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Playlist: Crucible | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvE | Playlist: Crucible Free-to-Play | Slot:   PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Compulsive Reloader) + Chill Clip ► Riptide's large perk pool makes it annoying to grind, but it's undoubtedly worth it. You can slow and freeze combatants instantly with incredibly synergistic combinations such as Auto-Loading Holster and Chill Clip. Additionally, because of Riptide's quick charge time and deep ammo reserves, you can stun-lock enemies (including Champions!) with its back-to-back freezing potential. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Compulsive Reloader) + Chill Clip |
| Strident Whistle |  Strident Whistle | Combat Bow | Precision | Primary | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Playlist: Vanguard | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvE | Playlist: Vanguard Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Archer's Tempo + Incandescent (also good: Successful Warm-up) ► Bow players have been waiting long for the next Solar bow, and Strident Whistle doesn't disappoint. With new S-Tier perks like Successful Warm-up and Incandescent alongside old but reliable ones like Archer's Tempo and Explosive Head, this bow can fit any role you need. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Archer's Tempo + Incandescent (also good: Successful Warm-up) |
| CALUS Mini-Tool |  CALUS Mini-Tool | Submachine Gun | MIDA Synergy | Primary | Solar | Season 17 | Yes | S › Best | Derelict Leviathan | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvE | Derelict Leviathan Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Unrelenting (also good: Moving Target) + Incandescent ► Able to roll with the excellent perk Incandescent, CALUS Mini-Tool immediately cemented itself as a top-tier pick with the release of Solar 3.0. Plus, it's one of the few craftable SMGs currently in the game, meaning it's one of the easiest to get as well. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Unrelenting (also good: Moving Target) + Incandescent |
| Stormchaser |  Stormchaser | Linear Fusion Rifle | Aggressive | Heavy | Arc | Deluxe Edition | Yes | S › Best | Duality Dungeon | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvE | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot:   PvE God Roll: Rapid Hit (also good: Clown Cartridge) + Firing Line (also good: Vorpal Weapon) ► The first linear fusion rifle to not be a Precision Frame, Stormchaser and its three-round burst is as unique as they are fun. And with S-Tier perk combinations like Rapid Hit + Firing Line, this already-strong linear fusion rifle easily competes with top picks like Reed's Regret. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rapid Hit (also good: Clown Cartridge) + Firing Line (also good: Vorpal Weapon) |
| Horror's Least |  Horror's Least | Pulse Rifle | Rapid-Fire | Primary | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Nightfall: The Ordeals | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvP | Nightfall: The Ordeals Free-to-Play | Slot: PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Heating Up) + Kill Clip ► Able to dominate in the Crucible at mid-range, Horror's Least is one of the best pulse rifles in the game. With great stats, an Adept variant, and a well-rounded perk pool, this weapon is a beast and worth grinding if you're a pulse rifle fan. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Heating Up) + Kill Clip |
| Without Remorse |  Without Remorse | Shotgun | Lightweight | Special | Solar | Season 17 | Yes | S › Best | Seasonal activity | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvP | Seasonal activity Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Threat Detector + Elemental Capacitor (also good: Well Rounded) ► Without Remorse is making a lot of noise, with many PvP players frantically grinding it as the first craftable Lightweight shotgun in the game. With Threat Detector and Elemental Capacitor, Without Remorse has become the go-to option for Guardians looking for a super high-handling Shotgun. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Threat Detector + Elemental Capacitor (also good: Well Rounded) |
| Beloved |  Beloved | Sniper Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Solar | Season 17 | Yes | S › Best | Derelict Leviathan | | Best ❘ S Excels in: PvP | Derelict Leviathan Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Snapshot Sights + Moving Target (also good: Quickdraw) ► Arguably the community's favorite legendary sniper in the entire franchise, this "beloved" weapon is back and better than ever before. With low zoom, high aim assist, the ability to be crafted, and Snapshot Sights, it's no wonder Beloved is so popular in PVP. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Snapshot Sights + Moving Target (also good: Quickdraw) |
| Trespasser |  Trespasser | Sidearm | Exotic | Primary | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Season Pass | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE + PvP | Season Pass Free-to-Play | Slot: Exotic Perk: "Reloading after defeating a target causes the next burst to be a longer, more powerful superburst. Final blows with Unrepentant superbursts automatically reload your weapon and provide an Unrepentant superburst." ► Our favorite sidearm in the game, Trespasser is a monster with its exotic perk active. While it won't be the best choice in Master or Grandmaster content, it's exceptionally powerful and fun everywhere else, including PvE and PvP. | Season 17 | Slot: Exotic Perk: "Reloading after defeating a target causes the next burst to be a longer, more powerful superburst. Final blows with Unrepentant superbursts automatically reload your weapon and provide an Unrepentant superburst." |
| Austringer |  Austringer | Hand Cannon | Adaptive | Primary | Kinetic | Season 17 | Yes | A › Strong | Derelict Leviathan | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE + PvP | Derelict Leviathan Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Outlaw + Rampage PvP God Roll: Eye of the Storm + Opening Shot (also good: Rangefinder) ► With a fanbase that rivals that of Spare Rations, nearly everyone was waiting for the day that Austringer came back. That day has come, and Austringer is once again a great pick for anything in the game. With amazing stats, even better perks, and the ability to be crafted, it's hard to not see why people love this weapon. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Outlaw + Rampage PvP God Roll: Eye of the Storm + Opening Shot (also good: Rangefinder) |
| Lingering Dread |  Lingering Dread | Grenade Launcher | Lightweight | Special | Stasis | Deluxe Edition | Yes | A › Strong | Duality Dungeon | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE + PvP | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot: PvE/PvP God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Ambitious Assassin) + Chill Clip ► Lingering Dread is the first of its kind. It's the first Special Stasis Grenade Launcher, and it comes with one of the newer Stasis perks, Chill Clip. However, despite the potential nuance that Chill Clip may bring, Lingering Dread doesn't shake up the meta. It is merely another 'pretty good' option. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE/PvP God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Ambitious Assassin) + Chill Clip |
| New Purpose |  New Purpose | Pulse Rifle | High-Impact | Primary | Stasis | Deluxe Edition | Yes | A › Strong | Duality Dungeon | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE + PvP | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Headstone (also good: Desperado) PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Tunnel Vision) + Desperado ► For those not wanting to grind out The Messenger, New Purpose is the next best thing. Desperado was recently nerfed and is now significantly less potent, but it's still crazy fun in both PvE and PvP. Plus, New Purpose's Stasis element and Headstone can also play an integral part in a PvE Stasis build. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Headstone (also good: Desperado) PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Tunnel Vision) + Desperado |
| Skyburner's Oath |  Skyburner's Oath | Scout Rifle | Exotic | Primary | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Exotic Engram | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Exotic Engram Free-to-Play | Slot: Exotic Perk: "This weapon lobs large, explosive, seeking slugs when firing from the hip. When aiming down sights, the slugs travel fast and straight, with higher damage and a lower rate of fire." ► Skyburner's Oath received a significant buff with the launch of Season 17. Hipfire shots now apply scorch, which, when stacked high enough, causes an ignition. However, you are locked to hipfiring your weapon to take advantage of this. To maximize the potential of Skyburner's, you also have to run a Solar subclass, limiting you further. | Season 1 | Slot: Exotic Perk: "This weapon lobs large, explosive, seeking slugs when firing from the hip. When aiming down sights, the slugs travel fast and straight, with higher damage and a lower rate of fire." |
| Enyo-D |  Enyo-D | Submachine Gun | Precision | Primary | Kinetic | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | World loot pool | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Rampage (also good: Multikill Clip) ► Often regarded as "Antiope 2.0" by the community, Enyo-D has everything that makes an SMG good. With a great feel and S-Tier perks, this is one of the best kinetic PvE SMGs currently available. Enyo also has an above-average zoom stat, making it an alright PvP pick as well. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Rampage (also good: Multikill Clip) |
| Fixed Odds |  Fixed Odds | Machine Gun | High-Impact | Heavy | Solar | Deluxe Edition | Yes | A › Strong | Duality Dungeon | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot: PvP God Roll: Field Prep (also good: Feeding Frenzy) + Incandescent (also good: Rampage) ► With some scattered good picks in the first column and an almost-perfect second column of perks, Fixed Odds is one of the better PvE machine guns in the game. With the recent buff to machine gun damage and unique perks such as Incandescent and Killing Tally, Fixed Odds is a great choice anywhere. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Field Prep (also good: Feeding Frenzy) + Incandescent (also good: Rampage) |
| Heartshadow |  Heartshadow | Sword | Exotic | Heavy | Void | Deluxe Edition | Yes | A › Strong | Duality Dungeon | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot:  Exotic Perk: "Heavy attacks made with full Sword energy turn you invisible and fire exploding Void projectiles. Remaining invisible grants this weapon increased damage. Hitting a target with this weapon’s projectiles while invisible weakens them." ► While Heartshadow does require you to change your playstyle a bit due to its unique perks and heavy attack, it can be extremely useful in the right hands. Not only are Invisibility and Weaken irreplaceable buffs for PVE, but they also allow this sword to have great synergy with a Void subclass. Plus, Heartshadow is extremely fun to use! | Season 17 | Slot: Exotic Perk: "Heavy attacks made with full Sword energy turn you invisible and fire exploding Void projectiles. Remaining invisible grants this weapon increased damage. Hitting a target with this weapon’s projectiles while invisible weakens them." |
| Unforgiven |  Unforgiven | Submachine Gun | Aggressive | Primary | Void | Deluxe Edition | Yes | A › Strong | Duality Dungeon | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot: PvE God Roll: Demolitionist (also good: Feeding Frenzy) + Adrenaline Junkie (also good: Rampage) ► The only SMG in the game that can roll Demolitionist in its first column, Unforgiven is one of the many unique weapons to come from the Duality dungeon. Plus, its second column is full of tons of S-Tier damage and utility perks, making Unforgiven an easy choice for any Void 3.0 build. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Demolitionist (also good: Feeding Frenzy) + Adrenaline Junkie (also good: Rampage) |
| Lord of Wolves |  Lord of Wolves | Shotgun | Exotic | Special | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Exotic Engram | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP | Exotic Engram Free-to-Play | Slot: Exotic Perk: "Fires a powerful short-range burst of Solar damage. Hold to swap to a longer, more powerful burst." ► Lord of Wolves dominated the meta for a good part of early 2022. But Season 17's changes to the Special ammo economy and a specific nerf to the weapon, hurt the Lord of Wolves. However, despite the nerfs, it remains an extremely easy shotgun to use with very high levels of lethality. | Season 4 | Slot: Exotic Perk: "Fires a powerful short-range burst of Solar damage. Hold to swap to a longer, more powerful burst." |
| The Last Word |  The Last Word | Hand Cannon | Exotic | Primary | Kinetic | Forsaken Pack | Yes | A › Strong | Exotic Kiosk | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP | Exotic Kiosk Forsaken Pack | Slot: Exotic Perk: "This weapon fires full auto. Hip-fire shots deal bonus precision damage while increasing reload speed and accuracy." ► While The Last Word has been crazy on controller for years, mouse and keyboard users haven't had the same experience. Luckily, this weapon got buffed on M&K in Season 17, meaning you'll probably see a lot more of it. | Season 5 | Slot: Exotic Perk: "This weapon fires full auto. Hip-fire shots deal bonus precision damage while increasing reload speed and accuracy." |
| Forgiveness |  Forgiveness | Sidearm | Aggressive Burst | Primary | Arc | The Witch Queen | Yes | A › Strong | Trials of Osiris | | Strong ❘ A | Trials of Osiris The Witch Queen | Slot: PvE God Roll: Demolitionist + Adrenaline Junkie PvE God Roll: Moving Target + Adrenaline Junkie ► The first sidearm with an Adept variant, many have been waiting for something like it. Sadly, it only partially lived up to expectations. Its base stats are easily best in class and can benefit even more from Adept mods, giving it a great feel at base. However, its perks are fairly niche for PvP, making a lot of players pass on this weapon for now. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Demolitionist + Adrenaline Junkie PvE God Roll: Moving Target + Adrenaline Junkie |
| Burden of Guilt |  Burden of Guilt | Fusion Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Stasis | The Witch Queen | Yes | B › Average | Trials of Osiris | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE + PvP | Trials of Osiris The Witch Queen | Slot: PvE God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Stats for All) + Chill Clip PvP God Roll: Elemental Capacitor (also good: Killing Wind) + High-Impact Reserves ► Considered average by the bulk of the community, Burden of Guilt hasn't seen much popularity since its release. Some players love it, and it can roll with great combinations, but there's no reason to step into Trials to grind this over something else. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Perpetual Motion (also good: Stats for All) + Chill Clip PvP God Roll: Elemental Capacitor (also good: Killing Wind) + High-Impact Reserves |
| Nezarec's Whisper |  Nezarec's Whisper | Glaive | Adaptive | Special | Arc | Season 17 | Yes | B › Average | Seasonal activity | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE | Seasonal activity Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Demolitionist (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Unstoppable Force (also good: Adrenaline Junkie) ► Nezarec's Whisper is the first glaive to roll with some S-Tier PVE perks (such as Demolitionist), but that isn't saying much since it's only the third Legendary glaive to be released. Because of those unique perks, it can be used in ways the other two glaives can't, putting it above some of the rest. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Demolitionist (also good: Impulse Amplifier) + Unstoppable Force (also good: Adrenaline Junkie) |
| Staccato-46 |  Staccato-46 | Scout Rifle | Precision | Primary | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | World loot pool | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Outlaw (also good: Shoot to Loot) + Incandescent (also good: Explosive Payload) ► Staccato-46 contains some exceptional new perks, including Incandescent. However, its rolls aren't very useful in high-end PvE content (where scout rifles are primarily used). Unless you're a huge scout rifle fan, there isn't a reason to run this weapon over something like Strident Whistle or CALUS Mini-Tool. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Outlaw (also good: Shoot to Loot) + Incandescent (also good: Explosive Payload) |
| Bump in the Night |  Bump in the Night | Rocket Launcher | Aggressive | Heavy | Stasis | Season 17 | Yes | B › Average | Seasonal activity | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE | Seasonal activity Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Field Prep) + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Chill Clip) ► While Bump in the Night does have various top-tier PvE perks, it gets drowned out by all the great options we currently have. Unless you want to use Chain Reaction or Chill Clip for fun, crafting a Palmyra-B or farming for The Hothead will be more worthwhile. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Field Prep) + Vorpal Weapon (also good: Chill Clip) |
| Chain of Command |  Chain of Command | Machine Gun | Adaptive | Heavy | Stasis | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | Exotic Kiosk | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE | Exotic Kiosk Free-to-Play | Slot: Static Roll: Adrenaline Junkie + Demolitionist ► Chain of Command is a "jack of all trades, master of none" weapon. From complimenting a grenade-centric build with Adrenaline Junkie + Demolitionist to focusing on elemental shields with Osmosis or Adaptive Munitions, this machine gun can fit any role you need. That said, if you have a good Corrective Measure or THE SWARM, there's no reason to use this instead. | Season 17 | Slot: Static Roll: Adrenaline Junkie + Demolitionist |
| D.F.A. |  D.F.A. | Hand Cannon | Adaptive | Primary | Kinetic | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | Nightfall: The Ordeals | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE | Nightfall: The Ordeals Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Outlaw + Rampage ► A community favorite back in Year 1, D.F.A. has been brought back in, sadly, a pretty average state. This weapon doesn't have the stats or perks to carry it in PVP, and while it can roll Outlaw / Rampage, there isn't too much here for high-level PVE content either. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Outlaw + Rampage |
| Something New |  Something New | Hand Cannon | Aggressive | Primary | Stasis | Free-to-Play | No | B › Average | Event: Solstice |  | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvE | Event: Solstice Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy (also good: Stats for All) + Headstone (also good: Multikill Clip) ► Only available during the Solstice seasonal event, Something New is relatively inaccessible and doesn't have the stats or perks to make up for it. Eyasluna is still the best Stasis hand cannon by far, and numerous other 120RPM hand cannons excel further than Something New. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy (also good: Stats for All) + Headstone (also good: Multikill Clip) |
| Tears of Contrition |  Tears of Contrition | Scout Rifle | Precision | Primary | Kinetic | Season 17 | Yes | B › Average | Seasonal activity | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvP | Seasonal activity Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion + Explosive Payload ► Even though Tears of Contrition is easily outclassed in PvE, it can excel in PvP. A 180 RPM weapon with Explosive Payload is always deadly, but with a 1-second TTK, it can be hard to justify. But if you play into it and are a good shot, it can work. For the vast majority, however, sticking to a Hand Cannon or SMG is best. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Perpetual Motion + Explosive Payload |
| The Wizened Rebuke |  The Wizened Rebuke | Fusion Rifle | High-Impact | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | Iron Banner | | Average ❘ B Excels in: PvP | Iron Banner Free-to-Play | Slot: PvP God Roll: Under Pressure (also good: Moving Target) + Backup Plan (also good: Iron Grip) ► Like The Epicurean, The Wizened Rebuke is alright in PvP but doesn't stir the pot much. With the right roll, this fusion can excel to great heights; however, there are easier-to-grind options with arguably better rolls. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Under Pressure (also good: Moving Target) + Backup Plan (also good: Iron Grip) |
| Gallu RR3 |  Gallu RR3 | Sniper Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | World loot pool | | Average ❘ B | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: PvP God Roll: Steady Hands (also good: No Distractions) + Snapshot Sights ► Having amazing stats and great PVP perks, Gallu RR3 seems like a good choice on paper. However, this sniper hasn't caught the community's attention, most likely because of Beloved's return and the lack of a direct farming method. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Steady Hands (also good: No Distractions) + Snapshot Sights |
| The Hero's Burden |  The Hero's Burden | Submachine Gun | Adaptive | Primary | Void | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | Iron Banner | | Average ❘ B | Iron Banner Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Kill Clip ► The Hero's Burden has a solid perk pool, but its average stats prove to be its downfall. If you don't have a better SMG, this one will get the job done. However, with how many S-Tier SMGs there are already, there's no reason to run The Hero's Burden for too long. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Feeding Frenzy + Kill Clip |
| Lunulata-4b |  Lunulata-4b | Combat Bow | Lightweight | Primary | Stasis | Free-to-Play | Yes | C › Weak | World loot pool | | Weak ❘ C | World loot pool Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Shoot to Loot + Headstone (also good: Successful Warm-up) ► Besides its Stasis element (the first of its kind), Lunulata-4b is pretty disappointing due to its Lightweight Frame and weak overall perks. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Shoot to Loot + Headstone (also good: Successful Warm-up) |
| Hollow Denial |  Hollow Denial | Trace Rifle | Adaptive | Special | Void | Season 17 | Yes | C › Weak | Seasonal activity | | Weak ❘ C | Seasonal activity Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Lead From Gold + Swashbuckler (also good: Killing Tally) ► Hollowed Denial initially sparked some interest in the community through its unique perks, such as Killing Tally. However, now that the weapon has been in the wild for a while, most people have lost interest. Its intrinsically low damage and ammo reserves make these perks hard to use, resulting in a mediocre weapon. | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Lead From Gold + Swashbuckler (also good: Killing Tally) |
| Dead Weight |  Dead Weight | Shotgun | Rapid-Fire | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | C › Weak | Playlist: Gambit | | Weak ❘ C | Playlist: Gambit Free-to-Play | Slot: PvP God Roll: Subsistence + Frenzy (also good: Demolitionist) ► Dead Weight could have all the perks in the world (and it nearly does, having 12 options per slot), but it would still struggle because Rapid-Fire frame shotguns are notoriously weak in both PvE and PvP right now. However, Dead Weight can fill a niche "ad clear" role with the right perk combination. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Subsistence + Frenzy (also good: Demolitionist) |
| The Epicurean |  The Epicurean | Fusion Rifle | Precision | Special | Void | Deluxe Edition | Yes | C › Weak | Duality Dungeon | | Weak ❘ C | Duality Dungeon Deluxe Edition | Slot: PvP God Roll: Quickdraw (also good: Well-Rounded) + Moving Target (also good: Backup Plan) ► With no good PvE perks and very scattered picks for PvP, The Epicurean comes in slightly below average. It still isn't a horrible choice for the Crucible, but there are so many better fusion rifles right now that there isn't a point in running this one. | Season 17 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Quickdraw (also good: Well-Rounded) + Moving Target (also good: Backup Plan) |
| Firefright |  Firefright | Auto Rifle | Precision | Primary | Kinetic | Season 17 | Yes | D › Worst | Seasonal activity | | Worst ❘ D | Seasonal activity Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Threat Detector + Surrounded ► Firefright was a massive disappointment. Part of the recently buffed Precision archetype, Firefright still can't be saved due to its atrocious perk pool. In other words, any other auto rifle will serve you better than this... | Season 17 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Threat Detector + Surrounded |
These are the different Tier levels used for this Tier list:
- 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.
