Destiny 2: Endgame Loadouts for Beginners

In Destiny 2, raids and dungeons represent the peak of content available. Whether battling The Witness in Salvation’s Reach or confronting Rhulk’s terrors aboard his vessel in Sundered Doctrine, the experiences and tests you’ll encounter within Destiny’s endgame are unparalleled.

As a fellow enthusiast, let me emphasize the importance of having the appropriate equipment to tackle the obstacles ahead. Remember, raids and dungeons are brimming with formidable threats and substantial health bars that your basic Khvostov might not be enough to handle. Therefore, ensuring you’re well-equipped for your initial foray into endgame content is absolutely crucial.

It can all seem so overwhelming, and can sometimes even turn new players completely away from wanting to even try out the vast endgame content that Destiny has to offer. But it’s nowhere near as complicated as it seems. That’s why in this article, we’re going to go over everything you need to be able to start tackling Raids and Dungeons in Destiny in 2025.

Overview

To maximize your success in raids and dungeons, which are intricate and tough content, having powerful equipment is crucial to tackle the most formidable opponents within the game. This will help you avoid unnecessary struggles during encounters and battles. However, it’s important to remember that fearing you don’t have the top-tier gear before venturing in isn’t productive.

Initially, it’s important to note that Raids and Dungeons aren’t intended for the highest-quality gear available in the game. These activities fall under basic categories, not Master or Contest level, so having decent world gear and strong fundamentals should be sufficient to help you overcome most challenges. Consequently, we will primarily concentrate on understanding the essential types of weapons required for various roles. We’ll discuss some top-tier options as well as more accessible alternatives. Usually, you won’t need an exceptional S-tier hand cannon if a C-tier one is serving you well.

Additionally, remember that many superior weapons in the game are found within these activities. Consequently, as time passes, you’ll accumulate more equipment and enhance your overall arsenal. In upcoming guides and tier lists, we’ll discuss the best choices for each weapon category. However, keep in mind that you’re likely to encounter some of the best weapons available, so don’t fret if you don’t currently possess top-notch gear – you’ll eventually acquire it!

To wrap up, while progressing through the game, you’ll find some guns are essential for specific challenges and game mechanics. However, we’ll delve deeper into these requirements in our upcoming raid and dungeon guides. For now, this article will concentrate on general items that can be useful across many raids and dungeons, ensuring a pleasant gaming experience overall.

Buildcrafting and Preparation

Before delving into specific equipment, it’s crucial to grasp how your chosen gear complements your character setup, ensuring that your selected weapons harmonize with the build you’ve chosen. For instance, a Firearm primary weapon wouldn’t be suitable for a Void build, and thus it’s imperative to select weapons that align with the build you want to excel in.

As a fan, I’ve found that not every build needs to be meticulously planned with synergistic elements. For instance, when I’m focusing on abilities like Prismatic, or builds without a clear end goal beyond ‘Well of Radiance’, having a well-rounded collection of effective abilities, items, and weapons is more important. It doesn’t matter if they don’t work together in a specific way. What truly matters is understanding your build and its unique requirements to make the most of it.

Typically, when delving into Raids or Dungeons, you’ll encounter two main types of situations: those that require a lot of damage to be dealt quickly (Damage Per Second, or DPS for short) and those that do not primarily rely on dealing damage (Non-DPS encounters).

In DPS encounters, the end goal of the encounter is to defeat a boss of some kind, using damage from your weapons and abilities to take out their health bar to succeed. These encounters will also usually have some kind of puzzle or activity to complete while also staying alive in the chaos of ‘ad clear’ (having to kill ‘ads’, or additional monsters), to get to the damage phase in the first place.
Non-DPS encounters, however, don’t have a boss that you need to DPS. Instead, you’ll usually have a lot more ads to clear out as you go through the encounter. Generally speaking, these encounters are a lot more common and can be easier, but there are also some challenging ones that you need to truly lock in to clear. Some of these encounters may also have a central mechanic or puzzle that takes focus away from combat as a whole, forcing you to split attention between a puzzle and making sure you stay alive.

To effectively handle various situations, it’s crucial to prepare builds suitable for both types of encounters. Using a high DPS strategy in a room filled with small ads is often excessive, potentially leading to unnecessary damage. On the other hand, insufficient damage during your phase could result in failure for the entire group. Therefore, having builds tailored for both scenarios ensures that you’re always equipped with gear and abilities suitable for the task at hand.

It’s crucial to consider a means for enhancing survival capabilities within your build, particularly during Raids. This is vital as each player gets only one revive token, and dying can significantly impact the team. Developing a survivability plan can greatly aid in staying alive, even with simple strategies like using a Heal Clip on your main weapon. Always remember: “A dead DPS provides no damage.

Exotic Armor

Essentially, the type of Exotic Armor you choose for your character’s setup will significantly influence how your entire playstyle unfolds. There are numerous alternatives available, and it’s crucial to select one that suits your preferences rather than striving for the statistically optimal choice within your class.

To ensure readiness in any situation, it’s crucial to prepare for both DPS (Damage Per Second) encounters as well as non-DPS encounters. However, having exclusively DPS-focused exotic armor isn’t the sole solution. The reason is that increasing damage output is a gradual process, and if your build is entirely focused on the DPS phase, it won’t matter if you don’t even reach that point first.

For instance, many Solar Warlocks often equip Speaker’s Sight to ensure their survival during an encounter, even though it doesn’t boost their damage output directly. However, these players may switch to other exotic weapons for higher damage in other situations. But, at this stage, focusing on damage increase isn’t a concern because using Speaker’s Sight is a more advanced tactic not typically needed for regular encounters. Instead, most firearm-based damage choices are powerful enough nowadays to handle basic content efficiently. So, if you prefer, you can prioritize survivability armor over damage output to help you survive the encounter better.

Let’s explore top-notch exotic armor options for each class, suitable for both damage dealers (DPS) and non-damage players (non-DPS)!

Hunter

Celestial Nighthawk

The Celestial Nighthawk is an exceptional piece of Exotic Armor in the game, particularly for dealing damage (DPS). Enhancing the power of a Golden Gun shot’s damage isn’t something to take lightly. When paired with the Golden Gun: Marksman, this armor transforms your super into an enormous burst of damage that could potentially double the original ability’s output.

Besides that, combining Nighthawk with the “Still Hunt” sniper rifle from “The Final Shape” will additionally boost your Golden Gun shots, resulting in an impressive amount of damage per second (DPS) at a relatively low expense. This configuration was even employed for the first-ever Solo Witness achievement in Episode: Echoes.

Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk

If you’re a Void Hunter, Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk is an excellent choice for durability. Equipping your weapons with Volatile Rounds enables you to effectively utilize the Stylish Executioner trait, providing you with a prolonged period of invisibility. In essence, this allows you to remain hidden from your enemies for extended periods.

Should you decide to utilize the Gyrfalcon, ensure it is equipped with a Void-type primary weapon, for this combination allows you to effectively employ it, since the Gyrfalcon only provides Volatile Rounds for Void weapons.

Relativism

Items belonging to the exotic category in “The Final Shape” are versatile across all three classes, offering numerous combinations of unique abilities derived from other Exotic Armor. Unlocking these and finding the optimal roll might require some time, but the ideal roll can significantly boost your power at a comparatively affordable price.

If you prioritize staying alive, consider using Spirit of Renewal/Spirit of the Cyrtarachne as they enable you to acquire Frost Armor and Woven Mail upon throwing a single grenade for defensive benefits. Alternatively, if you prefer dealing damage, go with Spirit of the Star-Eater, which offers the ability to use Star-Eater’s Scales for extraordinary Super damage, while also letting you utilize additional perks like Spirit of the Dragon for added offense.

Titan

Cuirass of the Falling Star

The “Star-Falling Plate Armor” is an excellent choice for Arc Titans aiming to maximize the potent Thundercrash, as it amplifies Thundercrash damage by a substantial 55%. Consequently, it ranks among the top DPS (Damage Per Second) choices in the game, following several enhancements it has received over the past year.

As a gamer myself, I’d put it this way: “Not only does the Cuirass gear boost my Arc Titan abilities, but it also gives me a nice perk – it refunds a bit of my Super meter with each melee kill against bosses. So, if you’re up for some intense boss fights, don your Cuirass and let’s get smashing!

Hazardous Propulsion

If you’re fond of rockets, the Exotic item called Hazardous Propulsion is fantastic as it offers an immense amount of power in terms of damage per second (DPS) and during enemy clearance. In essence, it encourages weapon hits and final blows, occasionally storing a rocket within your armor. By using your class ability, these stored rockets are then launched towards a nearby target.

Not only is it already quite stylish, but launching those rockets also increases your overall rocket damage significantly, making it an excellent complement to your Damage Per Second (DPS) rocket. Interestingly, this effect isn’t limited to just the new Rocket Sidearms; weapons that fire rockets like the Grand Overture, a widely used and favored DPS choice among many Titans, also benefit from this synergy. This is particularly true in the current trend of Bolt Charge-focused DPS strategies.

Synthoceps

Without a doubt, Synthoceps, the game’s most renowned Exotic, requires no introduction. It increases melee damage when you’re surrounded, and it also enhances your Super’s power, making it even more appealing, particularly in situations with numerous enemies swarming for DPS.

Using Synthoceps combined with the Consecration and Knockout traits on Prismatic equipment offers an effortless way to clear entire screens of enemies. This strategy remains a top pick for endgame content, even among the elite tier players. If you’re a Titan, you might want to consider adopting this approach – it’s currently one of the most effective strategies in the game.

Warlock

Getaway Artist

Getaway Artist is an impressive exotic weapon that allows you to bring a miniature turret companion with you whenever you use your grenade. This sidekick deals passive damage and helps in clearing debris, at the cost of using up your grenade’s energy supply.

Using Getaway Artist on Prismatic offers additional benefits because it allows you to utilize Bleak Watcher and Feed the Void, providing you with two turrets – one Stasis and one Arc. This setup also grants you Devour, enabling you to recover health from any kills your turrets secure. At its release in The Final Shape, this combination was significantly stronger, but even after being toned down, it remains an excellent choice.

Sanguine Alchemy/Speaker’s Sight

These two armor choices complement each other since they are essential elements in the primary Solar Warlock build. Speaker’s Sight is an excellent choice for durability, as it transforms your healing grenade into a self-sustaining healing station, ensuring you and your allies remain vigorous during combat encounters.

Sanguine Alchemy, an exceptional choice for DPS, significantly amplifies your damage when Well of Radiance is active, especially if you’re using a Solar weapon. Many players opt for this Exotic during high-damage situations, but it’s a more advanced tactic that isn’t crucial unless you’re focusing on maximizing your damage output. However, if you don’t possess or prefer not to use Speaker’s Sight, Sanguine Alchemy can drastically enhance your damage potential.

Solipsism

As an avid fan, I’d say the Warlock-flavored Exotic class item, Solipsism, is a treasure trove of unique capabilities that bring endless enjoyment. The perks Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of the Inmost Light are pivotal, as they amplify the use of our abilities, a delightful aspect that resonates deeply with Warlocks.

Nevertheless, Solipsism offers several perks that aren’t exclusive to Warlocks, and these can significantly alter the gameplay experience. The Synthoceps Spirit empowers you to exploit Synthoceps’ melee capabilities, granting you immense melee power that synergizes well with Lightning Surge, allowing you to clear entire rooms. Additionally, the Star Eaters’ Spirit amplifies damage output from supers such as Nova Bomb: Cataclysm to their maximum potential.

Weapons

In any given game, choosing the appropriate tools, or weapons, significantly impacts your chances of victory. Selecting the right weapon can pave the way for a successful encounter, while picking the wrong one might lead to complications, possibly resulting in defeat.

Once you grasp the technique of selecting weapons for various encounters, you’ll quickly find yourself making the correct choices with ease!

In Destiny 2, weapon selections typically fall into two main categories: Damage Per Second (DPS) and non-DPS weapons. High-damage weapons such as Rocket Launchers and Linear Fusion Rifles are ideal for delivering high DPS, while using Eyasluna against Oryx won’t inflict much damage.

The aim is to equip a variety of quality rolls for each type of weapon element, ensuring versatility in any situation. However, achieving this isn’t straightforward, so simply understanding the components needed for your build construction will set you up well for success.

Exotic Weapons

Unique and extremely potent exotic arms are key to shaping your character’s strategy. However, with numerous choices available, not all that appear impressive on first glance prove effective, while some hidden gems often get overlooked by many players.

Here are some crucial unique weapons you might want to acquire for your collection, which will prove beneficial during your adventure’s final stages!

Tractor Cannon/Divinity

Tractor Cannon and Divinity are both fantastic debuffing tools that can significantly boost your team’s damage output. Unlike Tractor Cannon, which you can acquire from the beginning of the game, Divinity needs to be obtained through a Raid. However, it’s highly recommended to prioritize getting Divinity early on because it will make subsequent Raids much more manageable. If an encounter allows for it, Tractor Cannon can serve as an effective debuff option.

Sunshot

If you’re in search of a versatile and reliable choice, Sunshot could be your pick! It’s conveniently obtainable as part of the New Player kits provided by Ikora, and it seamlessly integrates into any Solar-based setup, offering a weapon that delivers consistently.

Choir of One

In the Encore mission, part of Episode: Echoes, you’ll find the versatile and powerful weapon known as the “Choir of One.” Capable of handling a wide range of tasks, from taking down minor enemies to major adversaries, it also provides decent damage per second (DPS) performance. The Choir of One is one of the top Exotic weapons in the game, making it well worth adding it to your arsenal.

Gjallarhorn

Boasting immense firepower to boost your squad’s offensive capabilities, Gjallarhorn is an iconic choice from the early days of Destiny, a must-grab for any dedicated player. It bestows the Pack Hunter buff upon your teammates, causing their rockets to multiply and consequently amplifying overall team damage by a factor of ten.

The Queenbreaker

Currently, The Queenbreaker is one of the game’s most reliable choices for inflicting damage, and its power is further enhanced with the introduction of Particle Reconstruction seasonal perk. Acquiring its latest Catalyst equips Rewind Rounds as a bonus, allowing you to keep firing it without needing to reload again.

Legendary Weapons

Instead of focusing solely on Exotic weapons, it’s crucial to remember that Legendary weapons form the bulk of your arsenal, making them equally significant in your collection.

It’s often exaggerated that having ultra-specific weapon rolls is crucial, but understanding the function of each weapon category and choosing suitable rolls will help you decide which weapons to keep stored away and which ones to bring along for Raids and Dungeons.

Primary Weapons

The main weapons you’ll frequently use aren’t significantly distinct from each other, except in terms of personal preference and comfort. Essentially, it comes down to choosing the ones you prefer the most.

Here, the advantages (perks) are abundant; choosing perks such as Heal Clip significantly boosts your survivability, while area-of-effect perks like Incandescent, Voltshot, and Destabilizing Rounds make short work of swarms of ads with little effort required. Generally, though, feel free to select a gun that appeals to you, and it should suffice.

Without a doubt, there’s a clear favorite in this category – Support Frame Assault Rifles. These weapons are abundant yet offer substantial support capabilities through the perks Physic and Reciprocity. With Physic, you can self-heal, while Reciprocity helps your teammates recover as well. If your goal is to primarily assist your team, these rifles can be obtained either from ‘The Final Shape’ or the ongoing episode.

Special Weapons

Effective specialized weapons offer an excellent blend of versatility and potency, boasting some of the game’s most adaptable choices. Having a dependable special weapon at your disposal can prove highly beneficial in various situations, sometimes even surpassing the importance of your main weapon.

Breech-Loaded Grenade Launchers

Breech-Loaded Grenade Launchers (BGLs) represent a versatile assortment of weaponry with numerous practical applications and promising capabilities. In high-level content, two standout types of BGLs are Area Denial Frame and Wave Frame launchers. Both excel at managing enemy groups, with Area Denial being particularly renowned as one of the most favored specialist weapons in the game right now.

Breech-Loaded Grenade Launchers (BGLs) are a versatile collection of tools that have numerous uses and show great potential in endgame content. Of these, Area Denial Frame and Wave Frame launchers stand out as the best choices. They are effective at managing enemy groups, with Area Denial being one of the most popular special weapons in the game currently.

In the Episode: Echoes, you’ll find an area denial launcher known as Lost Signal, which is convenient to obtain. This launcher offers a fantastic gun that can be equipped with either Auto-Loading Holster and One for All, or Vorpal Weapon. If you’re focusing on clearing waves quickly, the former combination might suit you better. However, if you’re more interested in damage per second (DPS), go for the latter. On the other hand, Martyr’s Retribution, a classic Wave Frame launcher, has been updated and can be obtained from Failsafe. This version comes with Heal Clip and Incandescent as optional mods.

If you’re interested in exploring tactics for movement and need a powerful choice for dealing damage, The Mountaintop is an excellent selection due to its Team Fortress 2-style rocket jump mechanism. You can acquire it through the Onslaught event.

Fusion Rifles

Fusion Rifles offer a fantastic blend of power and versatility, excelling at dealing significant damage while also serving as an alternative source of DPS when heavy ammo runs low. Carrying one of these is essentially indispensable, given their ability to quickly prove useful in virtually any combat situation.

As a gamer, I’d highly recommend going for the Riptide when it comes to fusion rifles. You can grab this bad boy from Shaxx, and he’ll hand it over in exchange for some Crucible engrams. It even has the Chill Clip perk, which is super handy for taking down those major enemies. Plus, it’s got a backup damage option that won’t leave you feeling too disappointed.

Glaives

Initially dismissed as a mere jest, Glaives have gained significant popularity following recent enhancements. These weapons offer robust defense, shielding against an array of threats, and their melee capabilities are impressive enough for clearing minor enemies at the primary level. Additionally, they can fire high-damage shots specifically targeting major opponents.

In simpler terms, a “Rake Angle” is an excellent weapon resembling a glaive that becomes available during Nightfall’s weekly farming period. It has the potential to acquire Chill Clip for enhanced disruption abilities. As an alternative choice this season, the “Refusal of the Call,” another effective glaive, is also recommended.

Rocket Sidearms

Rocket Sidearms are a relatively new addition to the Destiny sandbox and are a must-have.

As a devoted enthusiast, I can confidently say these are versatile additions to my arsenal. They can seamlessly take over as my main weapon in a ‘dual special’ setup, or serve as a dynamic special ammo weapon, significantly contributing to the versatility of my loadout.

In essence, all of these options are excellent, but Tinasha’s Mastery and Aberrant Action truly shine due to the extensive usefulness they offer through their respective perks.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but rave about my prized acquisition – Tinasha’s Mastery, a Stasis rocket sidearm hailing from the Iron Banner. This beauty comes equipped with Chill Clip, an incredibly useful perk that not only momentarily stuns champions but also freezes majors, making them easier to take down. And if you play your cards right with additional perks, it boasts the best ammo economy among all legendary rocket sidearms. It might require some persistence to get your hands on it, but trust me, it’s well worth the grind!

Instead of that, let me rephrase it: Aberrant Action is a sidearm from Episode Echoes in the Solar category. It offers two strong perks – Heal Clip and Incandescent – which provide additional survivability and chances to clear ads, respectively. Moreover, its ammo economy is satisfactory.

Shotguns

As a gamer, I’d say shotguns are my go-to weapons when it comes to taking down tough opponents like majors quickly. They’re like the heavy-duty tools of our virtual arsenal, delivering lethal blows at close quarters with surprising ease. Plus, they come in handy for those short-range firefights where every second counts. If I need to clear a path fast, there’s nothing quite like the satisfying boom of a shotgun!

You might want to consider the “Perfect Paradox” shotgun, which can be found in the Episode: Echoes and boasts impressive roll options such as the popular “One Two Punch” for enhanced melee interactions.

Snipers

As a gamer, I’d say that Sniper Rifles and Fusion Rifles share some similarities, but the former packs quite a punch when it comes to damage potential. A well-aimed Snipershot can serve as an excellent secondary DPS option, offering more damage than most other weapons in its class. However, compared to Fusions, Sniper Rifles offer less versatility in terms of their usage. But remember, they’re not a must-have by any means; it all depends on your playstyle!

As a gamer, I’ve found a fantastic secondary DPS weapon – the “Succession” sniper – that’s surprisingly easy to grab from Onslaught. It packs quite a punch, making it an invaluable asset in my arsenal!

Trace Rifles

Trace Rifles offer an excellent ammo economy and work well in a dual special weapon setup. They allow you to utilize beneficial perks such as Shoot to Loot. Although not indispensable, they can be quite useful.

In the Episode “Echoes”, the Chronophage stands out as an excellent choice due to its ability to fire both Shoot-to-Loot and Destabilizing Rounds, which makes it a top pick for clearing the battlefield when you prefer to dual-wield Special weapons.

Heavy Weapons

Frequently, the foundation of DPS (Damage Per Second) strategies lies in heavy weapons due to their powerful strikes and associated damage bonuses. Typically, Bait and Switch is the top pick among perks on most heavy weapons. To maintain consistent damage output, we’ll aim for this perk along with a reload bonus.

As a passionate gamer, having an array of diverse heavy weapons, ranging from exotic to legendary, is crucial for me to meet damage requirements and take down bosses with ease.

Heavy Grenade Launchers

As a gamer, I’ve been relying heavily on Heavy Grenade Launchers (HGLs) for their high damage potential until not long ago. However, due to the latest balancing adjustments, they no longer reign supreme. Nevertheless, having one stored in my Vault gives me a reliable and effortless DPS choice when the situation calls for it.

Here are a pair of HGLs that are relatively simple to obtain: “Bitter//Sweet” from Episode Revenant and “Edge Transit” from Onslaught. Both of these weapons have the potential to be equipped with Bait and Switch, while “Bitter//Sweet” can also roll Envious Arsenal, and “Edge Transit” can roll Envious Assassin.

Among the easily accessible HGLs are “Bitter//Sweet” from Revenant Episode and “Edge Transit” from Onslaught. They both can have Bait and Switch installed, with “Bitter//Sweet” potentially having Envious Arsenal too, and “Edge Transit” possibly having Envious Assassin.

Machine Guns

In situations without DPS (Damage Per Second) fights, it’s essential to carry a Machine Gun (LMGs). This is because these weapons allow for swift and effective elimination of enemies, which becomes crucial when there are numerous adversaries to handle. Keep in mind that a high Damage Per Second isn’t particularly useful if there aren’t any DPS encounters, but LMGs offer a large amount of ammunition to deal with wave after wave of enemies.

For Light Machine Guns (LMGs), the specific types aren’t crucial, but Hammerhead from Onslaught’s B.R.A.V.E. Arsenal is an excellent choice due to its ability to roll Destabilising Rounds for a vast area of effect damage. On the other hand, Pro Memoria, which can be crafted, is another fantastic weapon from The Final Shape. It has Reconstruction and Dragonfly perks, making it great for dealing with large numbers of enemies.

LMGs don’t require particular gun types to perform well, but Hammerhead from Onslaught’s B.R.A.V.E. Arsenal is a standout option because it can be rolled with Destabilising Rounds for substantial area of effect damage. Meanwhile, Pro Memoria from The Final Shape is an excellent weapon that can be crafted and has Reconstruction and Dragonfly perks, making it ideal for handling large groups of enemies.

Linear Fusion Rifles

Linear Fusion Rifles (LFRs) serve as excellent choices for precise damage, particularly against targets with compact hitboxes that require consistent shooting. Although they’re not absolutely necessary, given the strength of The Queenbreaker, having an LFR can still be quite beneficial.

On the Nightfall cycle, you’ll find Scintillation, which has the potential to dish out significant damage with abilities like Rewind Rounds and Bait and Switch.

Rocket Launchers

Currently, Rocket Launchers are among the most powerful Legendary Heavy DPS choices. They inflict substantial damage, particularly when combined with Gjallarhorn. When equipped with a reload and damage enhancement perk, if a rocket is available, it often becomes one of the top picks for that specific encounter.

The top-tier rocket, known as Hezen Vengeance, is found within the raid called “Vault of Glass”. I suggest tackling it early to secure the highest DPS legendary in the game. However, before you gain access to that, consider completing Vanguard strikes to accumulate Cynosure. This weapon can also be enhanced with perks such as Envious Arsenal and Elemental Honing for a substantial damage boost.

As a fan, let me recommend Crux Termination IV. It’s capable of firing Reconstruction and Explosive Light, which, while not top-tier, is still quite useful. What I love about it is that it’s easy to obtain – it can drop anywhere and you can focus it at Banshee-44. A solid choice for a casual player like me!

Swords

In certain situations, swords prove crucial, making it vital to have one handy in such scenarios. Consequently, acquiring a high-quality sword should undoubtedly be among your priority items.

Among the available choices, if it’s not found in Raids or Dungeons, the best pick would be the Geodetic HSm (or alternatively, the Double Edged Answer, though slightly less optimal). This world drop can be acquired from Banshee-44. Your focus should be on obtaining Relentless Strikes and Whirlwind Blade for a standard sword DPS combo.

Weapons Checklist

This information is presented in a simple, quick-reference checklist format for your convenience. Use it to monitor your supplies and needs. If you’re not equipped with everything on the list yet, don’t fret – strive for these items as your goal, and before long, you’ll be fully prepared for any raid!

Closing Time

In Destiny, Raids and Dungeons offer thrilling and tough gameplay experiences. However, acquiring the suitable equipment to participate in these activities can sometimes feel like another hurdle. But with this guide, you should now be equipped with the knowledge necessary to dive into endgame content. Moreover, this guide should also provide insights on why particular weapons are worth your attention.

This article is ideal if you’re keen to participate in the Rite of the Nine starting on May 6th, an event where you can engage in remodeled versions of popular battles such as Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghosts of the Deep.

In essence, the final challenges in Destiny are truly amazing, and I hope this encourages some of you to embark on your journey with enough confidence to explore the realms of raids and dungeons.
