TL;DR
Exotic Weapons
The Queenbreaker is highlighted as a top DPS weapon this season, especially when used with its catalyst and the three-burst mode [1]. It benefits from particle reconstruction, making it a strong choice for high damage output
[1:2]. Another exotic worth considering is the Rat King, which is noted for its effectiveness in both Crucible and PvE content due to its unique mechanics
[3:2]. Graviton Lance is also mentioned as a powerful option, particularly effective in current meta
[2:10].
Legendary Weapons
For legendary options, "The Call" is recommended as a versatile Strand sidearm that fits well in kinetic slots [2:1]. The Khvostov, available in both legendary and exotic versions, offers customization and is highly recommended
[2:1]. Additionally, Midnight Coup is suggested for its excellent hand cannon performance
[2:3].
Weapon Synergy and Builds
When selecting weapons, it's important to consider how they synergize with your Hunter build and subclass. For instance, the Queenbreaker pairs well with Void invisibility, enhancing its utility in various scenarios [1:6]. Additionally, focusing on weapons that complement your playstyle and the specific activities you engage in can greatly enhance your effectiveness. For example, combining The Call or Sunshot with Edge Transit or Pro Memoria provides a balanced loadout for standard PvE content
[2:7].
PvE and PvP Considerations
In PvE, having a reliable heavy weapon like Gjallarhorn or crafting a Promemoria with recon/bait and switch can be crucial for dealing with bosses and large groups of enemies [2:4]. For PvP, weapons like Ace of Spades and Last Word are often cited as top choices due to their consistent performance and ease of use
[5:2].
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, the best weapons for a Hunter will depend on personal preference and playstyle. Experimenting with different combinations and paying attention to how each weapon feels during gameplay can help you find the perfect setup. Keep an eye on seasonal changes and buffs, as these can significantly impact weapon viability and effectiveness.
sold under "strange gear" offers for 23 strange coins
this weapon is currently in the top DPS for the season, especially with the catty and 3 burst mode
Is Queen breaker good?
It is now. Gun was majorly buffed and benefits from particle reconstruction, probably the best lfr rn
Yes, the 3 round burst with particle reconstruct is fantastic
The catty gives rewind rounds, u don't have to reload
I got the catalyst and unlocked it, but I’m not sure how it works exactly?
Could anyone give some tips on the best way to use it? I’ve been putting it on the single-burst and it definitely shreds, but I feel like I’m missing something lol
Use the 3 round burst. Particle deconstruct on the artifact stacks up to 5x. Each pellet of Burt's adds +1 to the debuff
Only use the single shot for sniping / blinding a group of ads at range
Everybody said, " you gotta get it. " So i did. Some of you might like to know its like a fusion sniper rifle. Shoots in paused bursts. If i had known this i would not have wasted my strange coins on it. Its only as good as i will use it.
#MakeRatKingOPAgain
It's in a great spot! The recoil is fixed, makes you VOID invisible so it synergized with subclass things
Too bad I’ve run over 20 nightfalls 20 crucible matches and like 10 gambit games and have yet to see the catalyst. And only have two catalysts on my back log to finish.
Returning player, I got the Still Hunt on hunter with celestial hawk but for everything else I just have no clue what to use. Every time I come back I go through this struggle, the amount of weapons and methods to acquire them is just totally overwhelming.
I typically just use whatever legendary primary and heavy I have picked up. Anytime I look up videos on best weapons or highest dps they’re all exotics.
What are a handful of good legendaries I should focus on getting? Anything from the arena breach? Or even exotics, are there any must haves?
For just standard PVE, The Call / Sunshot or Graviton / Edge Transit or Pro Memoria is a great all round combo.
What about for more advanced PvE?
I often feel like a dead weight in Nightfalls, Dungeons, Raids. Maybe the questions is more complex than “what gun?”. I know there are builds like the Still Hawk which go over super build, gear, and dps boss weapon but they don’t really go into the primary or heavy you pair with it.
I would aim for this:
The Call Your choice of a kinetic
Then for heavies: Craft a promemoria with recon/bait and switch
Farm onslaught for edge transit with a good roll, look online
Keep an eye out on crux termination for good rolls, it's a world drop, or use gjallahorn
My list is not exhaustive, but rather covers the vast majority of situations and necessary components of loadouts. There are some weapons which are side-grades or work for specific strategies not listed below. (Ex. Cataphract is a sidegrade to edge transit, but strand). Here’s my list:
Rocket sidearms The Call - TFS destination Indebted Kindness - warlords ruin dungeon
Auto Rifles Khvostov - TFS quest (also has an exotic version) Rufus’ fury - Root Of Nightmares raid No Hesitation - TFS destination
Hand cannons Midnight Coup - onslaught Fatebringer - vault of glass raid Zaouli’s bane - kings fall raid Sun shot - exotic Malfeasance - exotic Wardens law - nightfalls (only needed if you’re a hunter) Ace of spades - exotic Thorn - exotic
Pulse rifles Blast furnace - onslaught Nullify - Salvation’s edge raid Outbreak perfected - exotic (zero hour mission)
SMGs Riskrunner - exotic Calus mini tool - season of the haunted/ banshee Submission - vow of the disciple raid
Sidearms Forerunner - exotic Drang - season of the haunted/ banshee
Scout rifles Hung Jury - onslaught
Bow Trinity ghoul - exotic No denouement - salvations edge raid Leviathans breath - exotic
Sniper rifles Supremacy - last wish raid Succession - deep stone crypt raid Izanagis burden - exotic Still hunt - TFS quest exotic Whisper of the worm - exotic (whisper mission)
Shotguns Heritage - deep stone crypt raid Conditional finality - root of nightmares exotic Ikelos SG - season do the seraph / banshee Tractor cannon - exotic
Trace rifles Agers Scepter - exotic Appetence - season of the wish / banshee Acasias deception - root of nightmares raid
Fusion rifles Riptide - crucible Cartesian coordinate - world drop/ banshee Bastion - exotic
Swords Ergo sum - exotic sword from TFS The other half - eager edge sword from 30th anniversary pack Falling guillotine - onslaught Lament - beyond light exotic
Grenade launchers Mountaintop - onslaught Forbearance - onslaught/ vow of the disciple raid Witherhoard - exotic Edge transit - onslaught
Machine guns Commemoration - deep stone crypt raid Xenophage - shadowkeep dungeon exotic THUNDERLORD - exotic
Linear fusion rifles Euphony - Salvation’s edge exotic Briars contempt - root of nightmares raid Cataclysmic - vow of the disciple raid Arbalest - exotic
Rocket launcher Apex predator - last wish raid Gjallarhorn - 30th anniversary
Hope this helps.
Nice thanks
No prob. If you’re looking for general loot, my suggestion is to start with onslaught as there’s a lot of good loot there. Then move onto TFS destination weapons. Then try and get some raid weapons. Deep Stone Crypt and Root of Nightmares are the easiest raids to do and both have plenty of good loot. Then go for the Vow and Salvation’s Edge when you’ve got a bigger arsenal.
I've also found Graviton Lance slaps hard right now. Been enjoying that quite a bit but I'll have to give ol Outbreak a go.
Basically anything from The Pale Heart destination is amazing. The Sidearm, Hand cannon, and Auto Rifle especially
That machine gun goes brrr too
This is my favorite machine gun besides retrofit escapade
Yeah I love the machine gun
The Call is fantastic. It’s a strand sidearm that shoots grenades. It goes in the kinetic slot. Once you get one, you will see why. The Khvostov legendary and exotic are both great as well. The legendary is very customizable. They both take some work to get but I highly recommend acquiring them.
I feel like a lot of my time spent in this game is trying to find weapons that just feel good. It’s not weapons that are necessarily optimal, but they just click with you.
Weapons I clicked with are Death Adder and the now sunset Trophy Hunter. What are your weapons?
Rat king. I’m not a very good crucible player but I absolutely pop off with this gun.
Probably the most underrated exotic in the game, super great for end game content with anti champ capabilities with its catalyst, and really fun in lower tier content cause you just make everything explode.
Let me tell you I hated that gun until I actually played with it and understood what It did. My go to for void burn barrier champ mods.
getting close to 60k kills with mine, and hopefully it'll be tweaked just a little bit for better Solar 3.0 synergy (fifth round shot spreads scorch?)
Dead Weight. Love the look, sound and feel especially with Subsistence. Plus it describes my role in PVP.
Still after a good PvE roll with subsistence. Got an auto loading/vorpal roll which I’m enjoying but I imagine it absolutely shines when mowing down adds without having to reload haha
I got a subsistence/golden tricorn roll that's pretty good. I'd never actually tried rapid-fire shotguns until this one came out and when I did it was a bit of a mindblower, had no idea we had full-auto super fast firing shotguns.
I found it existed yesterday and I have to say it reminds me of the Black Armory weapons with how it sounds. Nice and chunky sounding and it's a rapid fire frame like the IKELOS SG plus it's arc too. Arc 3.0 around the corner I hope there is something good for arc weapons. : )
Old weapon but for me it is Arsenic bite 4b!
I still have one in the vault I pull out when bows are the barrier.
Same. But the stasis bow from this season. Reminds me of the good times I had with that bow. (I miss you arsenic. You were my star)
YUP. I had a rampage/explosive shot with 30K kills that I just refused to take off pre-witch queen but the string and masterwork were not great. Then a few months ago Banshee sold the PERFECT godroll that I could ever want. Cant wait to bust it out for Arc 3.0.
Having pretty much gotten every IB weapon roll I wanted over the past season/episodes. I was just curious what everyone else is grinding. Any off meta or “sleeper” rolls that don’t get a lot of discussion? I figured it could help players with a ton of engrams that have already gotten there 5/5s in the final shape.
I’m personally looking for a strategist / slice Guiding Sight. Main reasons that I play warlock and the rift cool down is a bit longer than most other classes and the second reason was that I was absolutely getting my butt handed to me a few weeks ago by a player using it in comp. I felt like I was “severed” the entire match.
Slice stuff is generally thruster titan and hunter exclusive. Every time I try with warlock the uptime just doesnt seem worth the hassle.
One exception could be if you’re running hellion spam on Phoenix dive but yeah RDM Hunter is by far the best.
[Fluted/accurised/slideways/adagio/range MW] Crimil’s
150ish rolls deep, no dice so far. Been using one I got a while ago but with the wrong MW and mag (missing out on 20 range).
I feel stupid. I got a slide/adagio crimils a few days ago and broke up down because I thought adagio sounded stupid on a 120 HC. I thought everyone was going for a precision instrument one.
PI is also a popular choice, adagio is just better imo on 120s however since it turns it into a 2 tap (does the perfect amount of damage where it just about doesn’t break shield on the first hit too so people often don’t realise the next shot will kill). Even ignoring the 2 taps, for team shot purposes doing 120dmg on a crit with a HC is insane. It also allows you to headshot melee for a fast CQC kill. The snowball potential is just crazy too, it lasts for 9seconds enhanced IIRC. It can be helpful especially when you’re trying to do a bit of a carry when paired with OEM for example, winning a duel can give you a 2 tap + over shield which makes the next fight (even if it’s peek shooting against 2 people) quite winnable indeed.
I have this roll except I prefer Zen/Opening shot over adagio, so thats what im still chasing. More difficult than I expected so far.
Ive spent over 2m glimmer atp focusing it, its not funny any more BUNGIE!
Wrong masterwork but unless a lucky drop I am done.
Buckle up. Odds are 1 in 2268 Crimils to land this roll .
Sorry mate, just enjoying Severance shit posting wherever I can ^^' My real answer for your post is a Kill Clip Frontiers Cry and a Slice Lethal Abundance.
An adagio crimlins with enough handling to not need to slide first in order to swap to my shotty inside 3 business days.
If only it got snapshot.
Recluse, sunshot, any trace rifle really, ace of spades, last word, izanagi, truth. Just to name a few, and you need to do quests, or get a random drops.
Did the buff make sunshot that much better. Loved it in year 1 but it got overshadowed in year 2.
It's always been amazing, but now you have 12 shots, which is really good. Also the damage fall off nerfed the other hand cannons, but the explosive rounds damage never falls off. So it inadvertently got a little buff.
21% delirium from gambit grind. Ace of spades from banshee if you have forsaken. Jotun from black armoury
Recluse - Sell your soul to the Devil or reach Fabled in Comp.
Run survival, reach Fabled, get 100 wins in any crucible mode, collect THE Recluse. Profit
Took a long time with multiple long breaks with the game but wanted to share this milestone. Hands down my favorite and most used gun on Destiny 2. Anybody else with high kill counts ?
If anyone is interested, there is a rat king ornament currently in the bright dust shop
I like the cut of your cheddar.
Almost 8k here :)

Nice work!
I’ve been using it pretty much consistently for about three months. I only have 2500 kills though.
I'm new to Destiny 2, only been playing for about over 2 months now, absolutely enjoying myself. Just thought I'd throw up a picture of where I'm at with my new Hunter build. Any recommendations on weapon choices and armor? I am really enjoying the Third Iteration, especially with the catalyst equipped. I'm not sure where to go from here, I have yet to finish The Edge of Fate, but I am almost finished everything up until The Finale Shape. I just need to finish a few things in that DLC then its on the The Edge of Fate! Let me know what you think of my Hunter!
As a hunter main not too shabby, but for solar hunter that exotic chest isn’t too shabby but id recommend shards of galanar, atheras embrace, celestial nighthawk, or star eaters scales just as other options for solar hunters. also id recommend not focusing on the health stat as it doesn’t increase your health just how much orbs heal you id put more into super and weapons cus extra damage is always helpful. otherwise youre doing good if you ever want help with anything you can hit me up i dont mind teaching anything, bungie name is Toxicdev#1028
Thanks man, I was thinking of turning from solar to void but Im still unsure which I should choose, ill keep an eye out for those items. I will rework my hp stat and focus weapons or super like you've advised. Thanks for the tips and comments!
grab the choir of one from encore if you haven't yet. All of my friends that are newer to destiny crutch it.
Well dlc and story wise, The witch Queen was awesome! Build whatever you like or feels good! Maybe a build for each subclass is another goal? Maybe just 1 at a time?
Invisible void hunter? Mc'splosion gunpowder gamble throwin bomber boy? The darkness subclasses are fun too, but behind dlc stories, so just get em if there's a sale.
I got an ice titan whose sole job is frost armor from the ice fridge unit looking arms and ice everywhere for frost armor galore!
I dunno you can hunt down what weapons and exotic armor you want to make a fun build with, then fashion it up til it's something you love and enjoy.
Also the other classes eventually, I main titan, 2nd is my hunter, and my sad warlock is third, you can find something fun in each of them though! (Besides the warlock jump, I am ashamed to say I'm horrible with it :(
I was a Titan main, but I decided to try a Hunter class and it is fun! So glad I decided to swap over. Still unsure of which i enjoy more but my Titan is like level 215? But I too do not enjoy the jump that comes with a warlock class lol
Now that I have some downtime in the game without new stuff, I am trying to make sure I do not miss anything from this year. I already unlocked all seasonal patterns, but are there any good weapons that I should farm that are easier to get right now? Specifically, I was think of the reprised reckoning weapons from season of the deep or red war weapons from witch, but any weapon recommendations with fun perk combos is appreciated
fioritura-59 with offhand strike and hip-fire grip is my unicorn. Very rare to even have one drop, much less with those exact perks. After a kill it's the gun TLW's gf says not to worry about.
Now THAT is a quirky role. Can you target farm it?
Sadly, not. I got to see a dude on the wild use it (against my team) to great effect, which is something.
Careful there bud, coming up with your own personal god rolls is "toxicity" according to light gg and they will permaban you for criticizing that its classified as a C tier at best. Good roll though.

I’m thinking my crafted Imperative with Substience + Explosive Payload,Forbearence with Demolionist + Chain Reaction, and Grand Overture as my Heavy weapon, of course I’ll probably end up switching it up as I unlock Prismatic and it’s fragments
Ace of Spades
”The Man They Called Cayde” starts playing
I'll probably rock Ace, my crafted Beloved and either my Crux Termination or level 96 crafted Fire and Forget
Bro had to throw in the level lol
I it depends on what gets nerfed, but I suppose Wardens law, Eremite, and Dragon’s breath, because they served me well in the witch queen campaign recently.
Dragon’s Breath is a great pick
I usually will only use the weapons that I get to drop during the campaign but starting loadout will be Midnite Coup with firefly + one for all (if I can get one to drop), Indebted Kindness with beacon rounds + voltshot, and Parasite. Guna start with arc titan with Cannon Brace. But I’ve got a full legendary set ready for when I get a solid exotic class item.
MT Recluse Anarchy.
Really depends on what gets changed or buffed, what kind of champs we might have to deal with.
My gut response is le Monarque for gyrfalcons because it makes soloing content much easier and has great damage output. Being able to disappear and reposition when playing new content is a godsend.
Then there’s my trusty quicksilver/suspend strand warlock that has amazing damage and CC and lets me bring my volt shot indebted kindness which has proven to be one of the most clutch weapons in the game.
Finally there’s Titan. Lately been running a devour/banner build with old sterling and buried bloodline. You get banner going, threadlings for damage. Buried gives you devour and weaken for harder enemies. Pair with abeyant leap for more CC.
Really excited to run through the campaign on legend with these builds and tweak as needed.
