There are so many weapons in Destiny 2, exotic or otherwise. So, it can be very difficult to know which weapon is best for PVE, Crucible, or Gambit. Of course, you can always check what your teammates are using, but it's actually not a very interesting way to figure out what works best. In this guide, we share the best PVE weapons in the current meta so that you could think about your gear before diving into the game.
Raise Your Gaming Powers
There are three types of weapons in Destiny 2: kinetic, energy, and power. All of these guns look very similar, so what's the difference? In our guide, we will tell you in detail about the features of each weapon type and will give you recommendations on choosing weapons for specific combat situations. We suggest that you start with the basics, then you can buy Destiny 2 exotics and move further with guns modifiers and synthesis.
First, open your inventory. There, you will find three slots reserved for different types of guns. You can switch between kinetic and energy weapons at any time by pressing the triangle or Y. To get the power weapon, you need to hold down the triangle or Y.
#1 - Kinetic Weapons
This is your primary weapon for the vast majority of combat situations. The choice of guns is wide enough: from machine guns and pistols to pulse rifles. We recommend trying each of them and then decide what is more convenient for you to run with.
The main advantage of this type of weapon is its excellent crits. That is why we recommend keeping it ready at all times. To inflict critical damage on an enemy, you need to shoot at their weak points. On the other hand, kinetic weapons are practically useless against opponents with energy shields. Of course, you can knock them down with due persistence, but it would be better for you not to do so. Iron shields are another matter. Here they have a luminous point in the center, by shooting at which you will quickly neutralize this very shield. Nothing can be broken through white shields, you need to wait until a gap appears in them.
#2 - Energy Weapon
This type of weapon is great when fighting opponents with energy shields. If you suddenly notice that a colored force field began to flicker around the target, immediately switch to an energy weapon. In this case, color also matters. Please note that the power of energy weapons can be painted in three colors in the inventory: blue, orange, and purple. Shields will have exactly the same colors. If you shoot at them with the appropriate weapon, then you will not only knock down the shield faster but also inflict significantly more damage.
#3 - Power Weapon
Power weapons are the most powerful in Destiny 2. Consider them the final argument in a very heated debate. Such a gun usually has few cartridges in the store; it takes a long time to reload, so this gun should be kept for bosses. By the way, ammunition drops out too little. So, to freak out and spend everything on weak trash is a bad decision.
