In collaboration with many top players and their opinions, I ranked all 85 (non-heavy) Destiny 2 Exotic Weapons into a tier list! This video explains the rankings of each weapon to give you an idea of which exotics are worth grinding for and using in PvP. We really invested a ton of time into making this video as good as possible, so I hope you enjoy it!
The tier list ranks are determined by each weapon’s overall viability, potential, and overall effectiveness in all PvP modes ranging from Iron Banner to Trials of Osiris. This means we evaluated the perks, stats, and the “feel” of each weapon in order to reach a definitive conclusion about the rankings.

I would rank necrochasm highers. I use it ALOT it's pretty damn good
Can you add a chart of all the exotic weapons from f tier to s tier, it will be easier to view and understand
Am I the only one who would say that rat king belongs in. s tear especially on a invid hunter build
We need PVE lists bro😢
Cold Heart actually got a buff, where the damage ramp up transfers to multiple targets within a second. So against multiple people you just delete them and only need to ramp up on the first target. Makes it actually really viable for pvp imo
So sad that hierarchy of need is so bad. I really thought Bungie would give it a new secret effect once warmind cells went away since we only had it for 1 season with the secret interaction they could just update the secret perk so shooting any "construct" gives a larger ring. And they could use tangles or possibly fire sprites and void breaches. It's also just a cool looking bow so I want it to be good.
It is actually very good in PVE, especially paired with solar warlock.
@@connormcateer7125 it's good on one build with warlock. That doesn't make it a good weapon. Delicate tomb has okay arc builds on all classes but that doesn't mean it's good.
yeah, it's SUCH an amazingly cool weapon, it's unfortunately just painful to use in its current form. Maybe next year when I make this video it will have been buffed!
@@x9x9x9x9x9 Apex predator is good at one thing in DPS. Just cause it fulfills one use well doesn’t make it a bad weapon. It’s a meta GM build for warlocks using it to refuel the arguably most important super in the game since it has the extra perk of giving a ton of super energy on kill. You can get a 2nd in your own well. Additionally it can work on multiple classes, it just pairs best with warlock bc it has a ton of synergies. Universal-ness doesn’t make a weapon good or not good. It’s Solar this season too, so it can give the radiant buff making it basically intrinsic anti barrier, so the only other bow possibly worth running (for warlock, the other classes still benefit from wish) is le monarque, and hierarchy is better suited for most synergies.
@@connormcateer7125 Sister. No.
As an Ostio Striga fan, I agree with the original ranking on here, at least when in most Crucible games. However, it becomes a LOT of fun in Momentum Control.
I agree with most of this list - But having Wishender in B-tier, in the current meta, is wild. Easily an S-tier weapon, one of the most oppressive weapons in the game in 3v3s, at least until its upcoming nerf in a few weeks. Having it in the same tier as Bad Juju is laughable.
Its B tier now after rework
This list basically reminds me that all my favorite weapons will never be nerfed.
exactly what i thought, until you remember that stuff like Wishkeeper is getting absolutely gutted because of other bows being good
@@kyanmatena3948idk about gutted it’s still quite good but free wall hacks is a bit absurd
Thank you! Great basis for anyone new walking into pvp or someone looking for a refresher. 🤜🤛 Lion not S Tier is a definetly a different perspective. 💪
Nobody cares about pvp
@@reggielacey2235 i came here for pvp reasons 🙄 sounds like u just had a bad day 🤷
Yeah but that's what a lot of people still play because sadly the gaming industry forgot how to make decent games. @@reggielacey2235
Love the content shadow! Do you think you could do this but for pve as well? Keep it up❤
One thing you forgot about Polaris Lance: It also causes your kill to explode if it was a precision kill. Situational, of course, but fun when enemies are stacking up. Also, good vs rift-camping warlocks
i'd personally say coldheart is on the border of d tier if used correctly, the cold fusion perk is just a better target lock since it only needs hits and not headshots, and it was updated so the charge up to that effect is preserved for a few seconds after releasing the trigger, so you can tap fire it to preserve ammo kinda like div and the bubble, it's far from the best but e tier doesn't seem accurate, but that's just my thoughts on it and ultimately i have no say in it's placement
Target lock doesn't need headshots though....
Helped a classmates of mine get his heads hots for Lunas Howl by using div. It was a great time lol 😂
feels illegal to be this early - great content as always, keep up the good work Shadow!
thank you
Except he's biased
I made it to the end and can't thank you enough. I have a lot of weapons to pull out of the vault to play with.
thanks for watching!
I would love it if you did a video like this on legendary weapons like 1 video on each class of weapon. This video was a massive help thank you so much.❤
I will make that video! Thanks
@@ShadowDestiny2 awesomeness thanks i appriate it
Izanagi's is my favorite sniper by far. Idk why, but it feels great to use
Yooooo! Video idea, can you pleaseee rank legendaries for trials and comp pvp :)
Shadow u have to try final warning again but hipfire... there is a learning curve to this sidearm and it's crazy if u get the hang of it. Just aim at the enemy till it locks, turn the corner or go behind cover, hip fire at the air, profit
Too much setup for too little reward. It’s not a good exotic
@@ShadowDestiny2Idk if its “little reward”. Some of the best tracking in the game, multi targeting, synergy with strand, potential to instantly switch to a .27 ttk
@@electrogamer7325 devils fills a similar role and is much easier $ consistent
@@electrogamer7325a 0.27 ttk after a 1 second charge time is a 1.27ttk which is terrible
@Blackarot. yes but you get the advantage of being behind cover.
As I said, it's a learning curve but if you get the hang of it, you can mess gaurdians up because they don't expect it.
I love Malfeasance in both pve and pvp. And The Huckleberry in pvp and free roam pve. Both such great weapons and require little to no effort to pull off the perks to their glorious maximum effect.
For the homing bullets with final warning U MUST HIP FIRE THE WHOLE CHARGING PROCESS AND STAY IN HIP FIRE WHILE FIRING
Im not a pvp main but this was very informative. Thanks for the input.
From seeing Wallahs video on coldheart, its probably better than the other exotic traces rifles in 6v6 modes
Vigilance Wing over Centrifuse is wild😂😂 Thanks for the video man👍
We need some “360 no scope 50m drop headshot” compilation 😆
Thanks!
I use a verglas curve build in pvp and it is possible the best thing I've ever tried.
I LOVE doing this game where I guess which sponsor is for the video. I hear and recognize the transition from video to sponsor and pause before the sponsor is shown or seen. I guessed Factor for this video. Damn it.
Buried Bloodline actually slaps in PvP but it’s all about the situations you’re In… like sure if they’re moving around or floating not great… but mid range or steady long range can kill easily… 2 tap to the head provided they’re not being all shifty with their movement
I think i liked how you proposed the AD the most, probably the best AD ive seen from a content creator
Thanks
@@ShadowDestiny2 you’re very welcome
I enjoyed your video I 100 percent agree with your video. The thing for me I'm a returning player,I've been on and off destiny 2 for years I finally got all the content except final shape and upon loading up was instantly overwhelmed by missing content not knowing what to do and what weapons to delete as my inventory is almost full (really want help on this) I'm attempting another go at it your kids help so much thanks
Cold heart did get buffed so you now have a second after leaving the target to keep the damage and it still increases as well
Wish Ender at B tier is wild. Easily an S-tier weapon or the very least A-tier. Free wall hacks + team shot potential for a 2tap
Id love to see you go back and do a list for Destiny 1
Sounds very fun, but I’m not sure it would get the views unfortunately 😂
@@ShadowDestiny2 pwease? For me?
🥺
👉👈
@@ShadowDestiny2 Really though, I understand where you're coming from.
Delicate tomb with fallen sunstar is SO GOOD in high level content, used it in grand masters and it SHREDS
You’re using the wish keeper wrong, the trap is meant to be set before hand. Expect where the enemy is gonna be and set the trap, they also will get disoriented from the sudden shift in hight
Hey I would like to let you know your miss using final warning the point of the gun to make it way better is by hipfiring
Close to 800 pvp kills with ticcu after only 2 months using it, very fun and slept on
Can I still get malf the normal way? I've reset my gambit rank twice and haven't even seen meatball spawn.
I’d suggest that Wishender is better than a B-tier given how common it is in Trials.
LETS GOOOOO
edit: alright after watching the entire video i can say its a certified banger (as per usual)
appreciate you vohvo!
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see Skyburner's Oath mentioned. Is it really so bad that it wasn't even worth listing?
Rat King in the tier list below Jotunn hurts my feelings. Great list though. Would live to see legendary weapons ranked too ( you could omit some, there are a metric ton of them).
this list is extremely opinionated by this guy. rat king is a significantly better option to take to the crucible
so no one saw how clean that transition was at 40:00?
Cold heart actually melts if you use it right. You need to use mask of bakaris and tap fire it and the thing melts. 👍🏼 ide put in at least C tier
i might have a crazy request...
how about you make a tierlist(or top 50) for every sunsetted pve and pvp weapon
Hmm I just did something similar on my main channel, it’s not a tier list but it covers many sunset weapons
I just got conditional finality to drop this past weekend and MAN, it slaps so hard. Im a mainly pve player and i absolutely love how it feels so i know ill love it in pvp as well. Heres praying they dont nerf it at all dur to pvp dominance 😭
Heararchy of needs, cast that ring and flank, out of the box strat thou works
Yeah Cold Heart is actually really good now. And fun.
ToM is very good vs well as the blight 1 shots. Also, yes, Devil's ruin has around a .3 ttk and pierces hunter arcstaff block
Thank you!!!
The fact that shadow mixes up horizontal and vertical is SO frustrating!
hey shadow we did every exotic weapons what about every exotic armor ?
the wishkeeper feels like it doesnt get enough recognition, i have about 1500 kills on mine and it was for a while the most fun ive had in the sandbox, bit since theyre gutting bows and changing everything i might just go back to my wicked implement(ations) of stasis
holy i didnt even know this vid was an HOUR long. i quit d2 like 2 years ago because i got bored, and wanted to see what to use when i come back, and i just watched, thought 15 ish minutes passed, and its been AN HOUR. great vid, i really liked it, and im kinda glad most of the exotics i liked for pvp are in A tier, since as a f2p i never got those SSS++ rank weapons
Also when polaris lance gets the fire shot it wont crit.i have been one head shot away from the kill and the fire shot came up and would not finish.
Sweet Business + Actium War Rig my beloved
I find use in Cerberus. I do decent with it unlike things like Trace Rifles, Last Word, some Shotguns and Snipers.
Something you forgot to mention about Huckleberry: it has the original version of rampage, not the updated weaker one.
I love Cryosythesia 77k I’m working on the catalyst but somehow I’ve encountered people who were immune to my charge shot and didn’t freeze to a direct hit in crucible
It’s kinda luck based it seems
Conditional Finality the shotgun that got me to use shotguns in pvp...i hated using them until i got my hands on it...i call it the super shotgun of destiny 2 not only due to it being a sawed off double barrel but it works very very similar to the super shotgun from doom! it is currently my favorite exotic weapon and hasn't left the inventory of my hunter since getting it!
Lowkey, i know its not a heavy weapon ranking, but salvation’s grip is so much fun and kinda good
Thank you for making a pvp video. It doesnt get as much love as pve, but its still my favorite mode.
Symmetry should definetly be higher on this list. The best use for it is mid-range flinching your targets.
Honestly I think it should be there
I havent played rift in while and i forgot convergence existed as a map
Great Video! I'm rearranging some of my PVP loadouts to include the S and SS tier weapons, but Graviton Lance will always remain in at least one loadout due to the disrespect it shows opponents that are sent tumbling when they are destroyed by it.
How do you have two dodge charges at 17:20?
Hey shadow, in your opinion, with the health changes and ammo changes, do you still think this is accurate?
Yes
I was really hoping for a pve list. But i agree with this list in pvp either way
The drink ctrl was an advert I can say I watched lmao the drink stats were 🤣
I see Hierarchy of Needs used and use it myself in GM's. It does a ton of damage for a primary. I can definitely understand it going into F for PVP. It's not F for PVE.
*casually sips tea with almost 1k pvp kills on divinity*
Next rank every exotic catalyst
Delicate Tomb on an Arc Warlock is a ad clearing machine
thorn + necrotic grips is insane
Final warning is S tier. You’ll all see soon enough
I love using touch of malice in the crucible
I could be dumb, but I don’t recall seeing Bad Juju.
oh also the exotic glaves you can use 3 extra charge mods and only have to hit 2 shots and it auto charges the last sliver over like 5 seconds of holding the gun
did they change it then? i thought with 3 charge mods it gave (roughly) 34% per hit so you could fully charge it in 3
@@kyanmatena3948 mostly refering to pvp where while running around getting to a fight you can hold the glave and then have it only require one kill to fully charge in s short amount of time should have been clearer mb
I must have missed the bad juju somewhere.
Yeah! Thank you
0:33 wow looks so funny to play with! Reminds of Dead Space
Ok but why does the drink have Jagged Edge and Enduring Guard?
In my opinion touch of malice would be more useful on warlock due to the fact that warlocks have their healing rifts
Hey what is the song playing for ace of spades
I love Vergales Curve in PvP, as well as skyburners. I also destroy with Ruinous Effigy, It makes people so mad. Use Ruinous with Astrocyte Verse and a nice handcannon and you destroy.
Remember how good Lord Of Wolves was on Forsaken launch?
17:23 Arctum war wig+sweet business=Destruction
I recently acquired Wish-Ender and it has now become my weapon of choice for PvP, especially Trials. The ability to see through walls is invaluable. I know my opponents are wondering how I consistently get those head shots when they come sneaking around the corner. Even if it doesn't kill them it scares them into backing off and playing defensively, so the other guys on my team can move in and finish them off.
Chances are they’re not wondering lol.
agreeing with juice. No one is wondering, odds are when they see Wish Ender they are groaning in pain knowing someone is just running around with a 2 tap weapon with wallhacks.
It trivializes most games and just makes it unfun for the people fighting it. But since there is no ban list or anything. Anything goes, so wallhacks it is.
Nice vid Shadow. I appreciate you putting out stuff like this & I aggreed with most of it, but....I have some notes: Hawkmoon not S-tier because it can be outclassed by legendary handcannons..Rose exists
Last Word is outclassed by SMGs
Sunshot...you mentioned all of the weaknesses so why is it S-tier?
Crimson is used in comp all of the time
NTTE is outclasses by any high impact pulse with headseeker (no higher than A-tier)
i was here watching this
Divinity at F is so insane, it’s easily one of the best raid exotics
I feel like this list is definitly how good the weapon is exclusively in pvp sadly
i left destiny before destiny 2 came out, back when thorn was an op monster and would 2 tap kill. i come back nearly 10 years into the games life and to my horror they buff the gun i escaped all those years ago 😭😭😭
Delicate Tomb is somewhat right but its a god at add clear in PvE. Pair it with Geomag and you got a 30 sec cd on Chaos Reach
Could you pls do a video on exotics tier list for pve pls
Symetrie in PVP is actually quite strong 2 reasons. one you are not permitted to use alt fire mode all the time which gives you slower autoaim shots that also deal a bit of aoe damage. as it is not very common used it is quite efficient on long range encounters as people often missjudge how it functions. However its drawback is that the slow fire mode in close combat is extremly bad to use.
Overall I would say C-Tier in PVP even it can reach a solid b tier with the right builds
I heard cold heart is making a comeback right now. Cammycakes mentions it basically has rampage on hit in his newest video..
I love Osteo and Trinity Goul. :D
Guess I play different than most players 😅
As a thorn user i can agree
Symmetry actually just doesn't have damage fall off at long ranges randomly for some reason lol
Wooo didnt expect sweet business to make it so high
Make it better with actium war rig no reload needed
