D.A.R.C.I is one of the most underwhelming Exoticsin the entire game, while Whisper of the Warm is the shadow of its former self due to the blanket nerf all snipers received a few seasons ago.Īs you can see, the Meta can completely change in a heartbeat. Heavy Exotic Snipers are far from being meta right now. ► Current State: Finally, we have Exotic Sniper rifles, a very niche choice represented by only 2 weapons, D.A.R.C.I and Whisper of the Worm. The list starts with S Tier and moves down until it reaches the bottom Tier: PVE Primary weapons meta D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.B Tier – Average: Decent choices that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapon types, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapon types.These are the different Tier levels used for these Tier lists: Generally, these weapons are the most used because they are the most powerful/efficient. We now covered the absolute best PVE weapons this season, but it’s still important to understand how the different weapon types compare with each other.ĭestiny 2 Meta refers to the most used weapons for a particular activity. PS: If you’re looking for the complete rundown of the state of the current Meta for PVP and PVP, check out our Destiny 2 Meta weapons guide. You can read all about it in our DPS guide. And while we love to criticize Bungie for not changing the meta often enough, the last few seasons have significantly altered the hierarchy of PVE weapon types in Destiny 2.Ībout DPS: DPS, or damage per second, is important for PVE, because the higher the DPS, the more damage you can deal to a Boss or Major. All of that combined with its intrinsic tracking makes Palmyra a great pick anywhere in PVE.Įvery sandbox change comes with a new meta. Auto-Loading Holster allows you to use special weapons while Palmyra is reloading, and its damage perks boost this weapon further above its competition. ► Rockets are S-tier options for boss damage in PVE, and Palmyra-B is the best of the bunch. PVE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster + Explosive Light (also good: Lasting Impression) Slot: Heavy | Ammo: Heavy | Archetype: Precision
