How good is Raconteur?

While bows have never fully made it into the meta, they’ve always been a solid pick in all aspects of the game. They deal high damage per shot, feel amazing to fire, and are some of the best picks in high-level PvE content.

Raconteur is no exception; it contains all the perks that make bows extraordinary while bringing something relatively new: a Stasis element.

Overall, Raconteur is an A-Tier weapon. If you’re looking for a bow that’s easy to get and that excels in all areas of Destiny 2, Raconteur is the one for you.

Raconteur God Rolls, Destiny 2

Raconteur PvE god roll

• Barrel: Elastic String
  Arrow: Fiberglass Arrow Shaft
• Perk 1: Archer’s Tempo
• Perk 2: Headstone (also good: Explosive Head or Successful Warm-Up)

The first three traits will be kept the same for PvE: Elastic String, Fiberglass Arrow Shaft, and Archer’s Tempo. In the final column, you can go a couple different routes. Headstone is the clear winner for Stasis synergy, while Explosive Head can provide some extra punch in high-level content. Successful Warm-Up is still a great option too, especially for low-difficulty activities.

Raconteur PvP god roll

• Barrel: Elastic String
• Arrow: Fiberglass Arrow Shaft
• Perk 1: Archer’s Tempo
• Perk 2: Successful Warm-Up

In PvP, it’s best to reduce draw time and reload speed as much as possible while not losing out on any damage per shot. Because of that, we’ll start with Elastic String and Fiberglass Arrow Shaft. For perks, you’ll want Archer’s Tempo and Successful Warm-Up. These drastically decrease the time it takes to draw an arrow while not reducing impact damage, increasing TTK exponentially.

How to get the Raconteur

Previously part of the Season of Defiance (S20) loot pool, the Raconteur can be acquired from the Avalon Exotic Mission.

Exotic Missions offer several rewards: An Exotic weapon, a Catalyst, and several Legendary craftable weapons, including the Raconteur. Avalon uses the same reward structure as the other Exotic Missions on rotation:

• The first completion of the mission on Standard or Expert difficulty will award the Exotic Deepsight weapon associated with the mission.
• Each weekly completion of the Exotic mission (any difficulty) will award an intrinsic upgrade to be used when crafting the Exotic weapon.
• Each completion of the Expert version of the Exotic mission will award a Catalyst upgrade for the crafted Exotic weapon.

🛑 Avalon requires ownership of the Lightfall DLC.
