Sometimes, even the top weapons in the game won’t be good enough if they are not the right element. This is especially true for Master and Grandmaster content. For that reason, knowing which weapons per element are best in class is extremely important in Destiny 2.
In this guide, we cover the best Solar weapon in Destiny 2 and provide you with a comprehensive list, including every Solar weapon in the game.
Updated as of Season of the Wish (S23).
What are Solar weapons in Destiny 2?
Solar weapons can sit on either the Energy or Heavy slot on your character. As their name implies, they can deal Solar elemental damage, which makes them perfect for activities filled with Solar enemy shields. Solar weapons can come in all flavors, including Primary, Special, and Heavy ammo weapons.

As a reminder, these are the different Tier levels used for our rankings:
- 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.
