Destiny 2 Season 13 Weapons Tier List

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’ll focus on every new weapon released with Season 13, aka, Season of the Chosen.

In this guide, we cover all the Legendary weapons (with their respective preferred PVP and PVE perks, we include free-to-play weapons, Season Pass weapons, and Beyond Light exclusive weapons, and we will tell you which ones deserve your attention the most.

A big thank you to Panda_Pax for helping us put together this resource. Needless to say, his perk recommendations are loved within the community and with reason.

PS: All the recommended perks below all come from Panda_Pax’s insanely useful Weapon Breakdowns on /ShardItKeepIt and Spreadsheet (covering every weapon still viable in the game). If you’re looking for god rolls, those are two great resources to start!

Destiny 2 Season of the Chosen Weapons Tier list

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.

The list starts with the  S Tier and moves down from there:

Ranking criteria

For the record, as much as we try to keep our tier list as objective as possible, they are still based on our personal experience playing the PC version of the game.

Also, even with a thousand+ hours of playtime, I’m far from being an expert nor an amazing PVE/PVP player. This is why I brought Panda_Pax along, to give you a more educated overview and description of all the new Season 13 weapons!

Finally, if you’re wondering what criteria was used to build this Tier list, these are the main factors taken into account:

• Lethality: The higher the effective DPS, TTK and usability, the higher the ranking.
• Consistency: Some weapons may not have the highest DPS numbers, but they are so consistent, they more than make up for their lower DPS numbers.
• Ease of use: Similar to the point above, some weapons are very effective because they are easy to use and don’t require too much skill or setup. This is also rewarded with higher rankings.
• PVE/PVP Performance: High lethality in either PVE or  PVP is equally valuable. However, a weapon that is good at both PVE and PVP should rank higher than one that is slightly better on only PVE or PVP.
• Fun factor: Not the most important factor, but it also helps if the weapon is damn fun to shoot with!
