The 10 BEST Exotic Weapons In Destiny 2

[@MadDunhill]

as a Destiny 1 veteran who hasn't played Destiny 2 in a few years, seeing Dragon's Breath even mentioned in a top 10 exotics list was wild lol

[@PureColumbianCocainum1949]

D1 was so fucking good 😢

[@Dakinekine]

It is insane especially if your using a fusion grenade spam build. Builds the fuel fast along with running a solar special

[@subzero308]

I mean granted Destiny 2 sucked compared to destiny 1

[@geordiematches3468]

Right? Back then it would just bounce off from shooting at a boss lol. But it was useful for ad clear mostly. But glad it changed and used more than it was back in d1

[@stewie3k_]

​@@subzero308d2 is significantly better than d1.

[@GloverGaming3]

Every time I hear "Wish Ender can one-shot barrier shields," I always feel "why can't Eriana's? It's a freaking special weapon!"

[@itztizzle]

agreed haha. Though it can on crits I believe. They need to fix not being able to hit crits on barrier knights. Super annoying

[@GrandmaDestiny]

Yup! So sad!

[@AnonYmous-hu7jo]

@@itztizzleEverytime barrier enemy decided to use its effect… I’m f**king reloading my Erianas Vow most of the time😂😂

[@Colossaltree]

All the footage consists of the best example of how solid each selection is in different scenarios. Plus things like "fun to use.." matters too!

[@Nepptoone]

Just wanted to say thank you for you these videos! I took a several year hiatus from D2 and I just started playing again in January so these videos have been helping me a lot to know what weapons to get and use. You’ve got yourself a new sub, keep up the good work!

[@Its_Nori]

Asked for this vid in your heavy exotic build, glad you made it.

[@James-km7yz]

With the right fragments, Sunshot hits very hard in the current sola meta.

[@SavvyMon4]

You don’t even need to be on Solar to dominate w Sunshot. It’s the best exotic primary in the game for a reason

[@Zvxers7]

Ad clear feels very satisfying​@@SavvyMon4

[@shadyrebob5999]

It's a good list! Conditional Finality, Sunspot, and maybe Malfeasance feel like they should be on the list bit I'm not sure which ones to bump from the list.😂 Maybe you could do exotic armor top 10 by class and overall top 10 after?

[@Nekyo7788]

Sunshot is hugely overrated. Its decent for ad clear against at-level red bars but so what? Ad clear is so easy to accomplish that sunshot doing what it does, is really nothing special. Its damage isnt very impressive, either. Wouldnt even make my top 20

[@vanmorlo8380]

Conditional top 5

[@damsdee2214]

CF is good but i feel like its held back by the fact you need to be very close to the enemies to land the pellets. Malfeasance is one of my favourites but I feel like while its super strong, it only supersedes all other exotics with LP.

[@Twist-kj2fb]

@Nekyo7788 Efficiency, unstop, and good major damage for a primary

[@Leauxf]

@@Nekyo7788accessibility. Polaris lance needs crits, and the catalyst takes a long time. Sun shot doesn’t. skill ceiling vs skill floor, sun shot isn’t “over rated” majority of players are average, and it’s a great weapon for those players.

[@deadlyalliance8281]

Dragons breath has never left my builds since it came out. Once I cleared the end of a master lost sector with one freaking rocket-ads included, I knew that shit was meta. It was scavengers den. Hit the boss with dragons breath, killed some ads down below while the rocket went to work, went to go up top to fight the ads and kill the boss, they were all dead. I was like... Wtf... The boss is dead too?!?! If ads are close to the boss, it's the best weapon in the game and it's not even close. It's like jolt but x50, literally.

[@Foxholeatheist]

I'm a big fan of running Wish Keeper in a strand build. I'm a pretty decent shot, and with a lot of headshots on ads I get LOTS of threadlings running around, lots of tangles, and lots of suspend bursts.

[@damsdee2214]

Final warning is slept on. It hits like a truck and can unravel so it feeds into strand builds. This season is even better being AB and the strand mods on the artifact.

[@natcoo8153]

Same with devil ruin but Final w is better

[@aethistman4952]

This video is good because usually people will be like, "Dude look how good this weapon/build is!!!" And proceed to do the lowest gear req easiest baby content in the game and obviously destroy everything. I appreciate the GM showcases or raid showcases only. Actually digestable information. Good work.

[@BudderDog]

Your content has been immensely helpful in my transition into the endgame. That being said, I've noticed that for these list videos (I suspect it's when you have a script), your delivery is a bit monotone. Every sentence has basically the same cadence and tonal pattern, where you start on a low note, go higher until the middle of the sentence, leave a small pause and then go back down to the low note at the end. This doesn't happen in your commentaries, which makes them feel more natural. I think these list videos would be noticeably more engaging if your narration was as natural/conversational as it is for the commentaries. Sorry for nitpicking, all in all these are still among the most useful Destiny videos regardless.

[@FancyD2]

5:47 with the clean ass transition omg

[@iSquibz]

Witherhoard will probably always be in my top 3. Such a fun exotic for any content

[@JWickyJr13]

Osteo single handedly got me through a tough ass boss battle. That gun will forever stay with me.

[@archadawga6114]

I stepped away from the game a few months ago; I never expected Polarance Lance to be a good weapon. Crazy

[@calaabo]

I’m surprised graviton lance isn’t here. I use it with my void warlock and it’s godly. It hits hard and just completely washes away ads

[@BigPlay84Gaming]

I was thinking the same thing

[@shkwvplz]

Oh lord, ME TOO! Mixed with Nezarec's Sin. It's the BEST void combo, prove me wrong

[@smallestroar4966]

@@marcianosummers3582 sorry but a weapon that’s used in over 90% of raid damage scenarios and is one is the best exotics to use in ability centric builds absolutely deserves a top 10 spot. Especially over Polaris lance 💀

[@dougcarey2233]

Anyone remember the days of the fearsome four? Arbalest, Gjallerhorn, Witherhorde, and Izzy? I think T-Lord should take the place of either Levi's Breath or Osteo. Edit: the top 4 actually looks pretty similar in function, if not form. Wish Ender a better Arbalest, Dragon's Breath is a better Wither. Izzy isn't there because Quicksilver is a primary that deals heavy damage with an alt reload, while Izzy is a special that deals heavy damage with an alt reload.

[@kylarflint4205]

I always try new exotics but if im wanting to finish a level quickly or i know im in for a difficult game then i always use Quicksilver Storm. Ive watched a few videos of people saying its useless but its so versatile. I run a bow as a secondary though for the long range shots though

[@C.AxelJorgensen]

Here's my take: 1) Quicksilver Storm 2) Wish Ender 3) Dragon's Breath 4) Witherhoard 5) Malfeasance 6) Izanagi's Burden 7) Polaris Lance 8) The Lament 9) Osteo Striga 10) Sunshot Honorable Mentions: - Leviathan's Breath - Graviton Lance - Conditional Finality Special shout out to: - Gjallarhorn - Divinity - Lumina - Tractor Cannon I have no gripes with your list other than no mention of Malfeasance ;)

[@jgadventures4161]

I just unlocked osteo a few days ago as a new player and I'm disappointed from the hype I feel let down I even made a necrotic grip build before using it because I thought I was going to be god tier 😂

[@C.AxelJorgensen]

@@jgadventures4161 Careful about hype. I was led astray a couple times by looking at hype from a year+ ago and there are so many changes made all the time certain things just aren't quite as devastating as they used to be. Osteo is still a massive weapon though and once you have it fully crafted and masterworked it will pack quite the punch. If you haven't masterworked it yet you haven't really unlocked the full potential of the gun at all.

[@Ysl489]

Not mentioning tractor is a crime.

[@C.AxelJorgensen]

@@Ysl489 Right you are. Added to the special shout out section where it belongs.

[@jgadventures4161]

@C.AxelJorgensen makes sense I looked and haven't touched it at the enclave for some reason all the crafted exotics had slipped my mind that I could upgrade them but for me osteo is in an odd spot it's hard to equip it when quicksilver sits in that slot I will upgrade it tonight and try again oddly enough I did have some success in supremacy using it but I'm so green at pvp it could have been accidental success

[@yutre8216]

Mad this game actully never changes i used to use these weapons time ago ahha

[@subzero308]

Gally, witherhoard and Outbreak prime r the only 3 exotics i really use on all 3 charcaters... Other exotica r just meh imo... Wish they would get rid of catalyst and just give us the full exotic when we get it.

[@patrickoakley7890]

Great list, but personally I'd put Malfeasance in the top 5. Intrinsic anti Unstop and destroys any activity with Taken in it. Anarchy is like 80% back to where it was before it got hammered with nerfs and you can stack it with other people running it unlike Dragons Breath, but 1v1 I agree DB is superior.

[@maestrosyrex]

Awesome list! But i'd only change 2 items, The ranking on the wish-ender should be higher, #2 or even #1, the ability to solo high tier content with ease on top of the huge primary raw damage, it's a must have. And 2nd, i'd switch the Leviathan's Breath for Wish-Keeper. that weapon with Threadlings is an adclear monster and can stun multiple enemies. other than that, All good :D

[@HenryMatthews-x9r]

please do Armour as well

[@brianlutz7813]

Malfeasance and Wish-ender should be at the TOP of the list

[@LukeFadeWalker]

Ostio is fun add clear but graviton lance was always my favorite, the range and cascading explosions is just too much fun. Plus with the recent buffs this thing is a true monster.

[@Breazy954Baby]

I love quicksilver have never really found a weapon more satisfying dragons breath has never left my loadout either

[@UnnamedThinkTank]

I would rate Conditional Finality on definitely top 10 but the problem it has to be obtained from RoN. That is a difficult sell for a lot of players because it is a raid and you can raid many times and don't get it to drop. At least these weapons are easily obtainable with only Wish Ender being slightly more troublesome with that mini-game in Shattered Throne.

[@curtisgeist6122]

Dragon’s Breath is the best season pass exotic we’ve gotten in years and it’s really not debatable

[@CharlesRussell-zj3jp]

Outbreak perfects still rocks

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

To this day I still have my osteo striga in my inventory to swap to if I need it The weapon is just to good and can pump some ridiculous amounts of over time damage into enemies Izinagi is one of my most used weapons in this game it goes hard

[@king_of_darkness2357]

bro what about eyes of tmr like that is probably the best ad clear and really good in any situation

[@iKentine]

The fact that graviton lance wasn't mentioned is a crime

[@MaoriMufasa]

Fixed your list. 1) No land beyond. 2) Edge transit. 3) Khvostov (White). 4) Driving through enemies with your sparrow. 5) Fall damage. 6) Skyburners oath (No catalyst). 7) The Eververse store. 8) Khvostov (Exotic). 9) Dregs promise. 10) A bag of strange coins.

[@bounty5218]

Still hunt, Sunshot, Thunderlord, Deterministic….. Are also good exotics

[@ExWitDaFacts]

2nd post on this video but oh well. My top 10 1. Witherhoard 2. Gjallahorn 3. Quicksilver Storm 4. WishEnder 5/6. Divinity/Tractor Cannon (gotta give them some love) 7. Izanagis Burden 8. Malfeasance 9. Osteo Striga (hate this gun 😒) 10. Vex Mythoclast

[@Obi482]

Bro everyone in this comment section doesn’t even think of graviton huh

[@Astrapionte]

I wish One Thousand Voices was among the best, but, unfortunately, they refuse to buff it! I’d say +8 in reserves and at least a %15 damage increase would do wonders for 1k. The ignition and scorching was cool, but not enough.

[@itztizzle]

One of my friends said it should get a catalyst with particle deconstruction and I totally agree. Would be awesome! But if not, it def needs a reserve buff at minimum

[@viking6237]

I have most of these and use ostro and witherhord a lot, but what I struggle with is that since they are exotics what do I use in the other slots to complement these weapons in higher content PVE and dragons breath does not seem to drop a lot of ammo bricks in higher end content.. your feedback would be appreciated…thanks 👍👍👍

[@ExWitDaFacts]

My opinion on these exotics. Leviathans Breath is good but idk if it’s good enough to have to use special ammo. Osteo Striga- fuck Osteo Striga and anyone who uses it (in Crucuble) Polaris Lance- ‘hot take’ but I don’t think it’s that good. Izanagis- absolutely fantastic, great long range for bosses like Oryx, Riven (kinda) etc… Witherhoard- the greatest Exotic Destiny has ever had, how is it #6 ? Gjallarhorn- the overall 2nd best exotic Destiny has ever had, how is it #5? Lament- Eh it’s whatever. WishEnder- best weapon for Legend Lost Sectors and GMs if it Barrier. Quicksilver- okay I know I’m contradicting myself (kinda) but when it comes to just using a gun in literally anything and not feel like using the “meta” guns for that encounter, it may just be the overall best gun ever. But whatever. Dragonsbreath- way overrated. Good. But super overrated.

[@anthonycharles1930]

Very nice soothing video!

[@MrAndy76101]

I got to number 2 and was like, no Dragons breath and no Malfeasance yet...

[@elgermin519]

Dragon's breath has to be used on solar to get the max potential, and malfeseance is niche cause it's usually used only on lucky pants builds.

[@sutnack7537]

[@badvibez6602]

[@vanfl9911]

The way I'm taking the next dlc as a returning Player this season (played off and on the past 2 dlcs...play the release of expansion do about a months worth of grinding and then dies off for me) anything is possible because of the mash up of subclasses upgrades you can do. Add exotics into that mix along with the exotic class item you'll be able to make some crazy builds

[@James-km7yz]

thanks.

[@kirasternenfeuer6198]

I would argue that the list is bias for the most of its benefits comes from current artifacts. I can say for sure that there are way stronger weapons like Malfeasance which burns Bosses like crazy ( solo broken throne with it was the way to go and because of the fact that the triggered shots do not take range on considderation you can easely take down big enemys from afar as well. I melted both of the bigshot bosses Oger and Dra Cul with this baby and as it is a bosskillerweapon it does its job perfectly. On top of it it has no ammo issues, a 20 shot clip that allows for 3 times the explosion to trigger and this is also a small aoe as well not even Gjallahorn can compete when it comes to consecutive damage. the biggest flaw is that reloading takes a bit of time if not properly build this can be frustrating. By the way Dragon breath is not even able to kill a normal lost sector boss in one shot therefore not worth it you probably gain a lot of its use from your build. Wishender vs Malfeasance bythe way is also in favour of Malfeasance even I like the mechanic for Wishender it is not as strong as Malfesance overall but stil a good option for champions
