Ranking EVERY Exotic Weapon in Destiny 2 PvP
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2024
- Today I ranked all 83 of the 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! Since this is such a large tier list, I also broke down the rankings into other tier lists based on ammo type, weapon slot, and the overall difficulty required to effectively use the weapons. I 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 perks, stats, and the “feel” of each weapon is being evaluated in order to reach a conclusion about its rank in the list. Please let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree with any of these rankings (and explain why)!

The 10 Stages of Every Warlock Main: th-cam.com/video/-dEryFG6GaQ/w-d-xo.html
This video took months of planning and 100+ hours of work so I really hope you guys like it!
Fun fact: sky burners rips through heir apparent shields
I honestly didn't know that the ACD/0 Feedback deaths were Dunes, i thought i was dying to a teammate meleeing someone xD
I like the vidio but outbreak perfected on D tear and Terrabah on A+ 😪 i have both and outbreak its just perfected . 💯
RIP Ascendant Nomad whos been trying weapons for the past 2 months lmao
WAIT CRYO IS GETTING A BUFF WHERE CHARGED SHOT DOESNT USE ALL AMMO O I THINK YOU SHOULD MOVE IT FOR WHERE IT COULD BE AFTER THE BUFF
This is the most effort anyone has ever put into a tier list. Holy hell you legend.
Lol I really went all in on this one 😂
DMS?? You are the last person I thought that would be into destiny. Love the headphone reviews and hopefully see a new LCD review!
@@brugley1090 yooo haha awesome! Yeah believe it or not DMS and I run Trials every now and then :)
love to play with you two some time or at least out in the crucible!
Just below on my recommended list is a 2h video on just Hunter exotics
When you said the chaperone is an exotic sniper rifle, I died! 🤣🤣🤣
well it is
@@seaworthybow7316 no it’s a shotgun
@@ethanwilkins7001 didn't catch the sarcasm I take it.
@@ethanwilkins7001 yeah that's the entire joke, it has a maximum range stat, basically making it a sniper
its a shotty and i thaught that it was a sniper
#CloudstrikeCollat
Each clip has 4, 4, 3, (1, 1), 3, 4, 3 kills in addition to the snipes themselves. So depending on how you count the snipe itself, there are either 23 or 31 collateral kills.
Nice
Bread
I counted 31 in total lol
I'm a year late 😂
Definitely gonna be sharing this with some friends, always love your takes on pvp. You’ve made me a better player and have become my go to when people ask about pvp youtubers.
thanks so much!
I think Outbreak deserves some more love. Nanites can turn a lot of gunfights in your favor and the weapon itself feals like a laser gun. That's of course from my experience with this gun. Huge respect for the work put into this tier list, absolutely loved it :)
“Speaking of crimson, that ‘subscribe button is looking pretty Crimson for about 85% of you”
That was genius. I’d sub again if I could without breaking ToS
LMAO thank you
I am so glad you ranked Heavy Weapons in this. It seems like no one ranks them anymore even though they can be powerful options with some of the legendary primaries and specials we have.
I got back to destiny literally 2 days ago, haven't played since forsaken and came to watch some videos about d2 and found your channel. This is one of the best d2 channels i have seen, if not the best. Congratulations!!!!!
Wow thank you that means a lot!!
Great vid Shadow, as per ushe! I agree with most of your rankings +/- a tier EXCEPT for rat king. You didn't mention it in the video (not to say you didn't consider it) but the health regen on reload that the catalyst provides makes it very good IMO.
That's a great point man, thank you!
This is the only tier list I have nodded in agreement to every choice. Not only that, but wow the effort taken to make this is insanely commendable; fantastic work!
*and unfortunately I typed those last two words with Shaxx screaming in my head. Ugh
Haha thanks so much, comments like this one make it all worth it
This video was epic! Thank you for putting the time in to do this video. You are amazing!
I love the dedication on each weapon, nice job!
Rat King triggering health regen and invisibility on kill is amazingly strong IMO. B tier at least
I think I was a tad too harsh on that one. Mayyybe I'd put it in the C tier, but at the end of the day I don't think sidearms are particularly fierce competitors in this meta
@@ShadowDestiny i use sidearms way more then i should and do amazing sidearms are underrated
Tommy's is DEFINITELY slept on, just as you said. I've been using it occasionally since it was put into the game and it's always been a comfortable and fun weapon to use.
Wonderful effort Shadow and great list, surprised to see travellers chosen not higher on the list!
Dude so much work went into this video. Thanks ❤
Glad to see Thorn in S tier. I just got the necrotic grip exotic gauntlets for warlock, and they elevate Thorn to S+ tier imo. Great vid as always, Shadow.
Thanks so much! Yeah I think the thorn is awesome
Been using thorn all day and I feel like no one expects getting no health regen for so long
I kinda disagree on the controller placement of Dead Man's Tale. I've always been a treat it as a scout rifle first, hip-fire hand cannon extraordinar second.
It's very appealing to just yeehaw the thing all the time, but I think if you treat as a scout that's very easy to use it goes up a little.
Not S tier until the buffs possibly, but definitely higher in my opinion.
I love this video still, really on point rankings.
Thanks! I actually agree with you especially with the new buffs. I’d probably put it A- or A+
@@ShadowDestiny Oh, certainly! The buffs make me very happy on controller. I've been practicing with it in its current state. So I'm excited to see with its buff if I feel a notable difference. Until then though I'll hold my breath.
Love the video! Just wanted to point out that in the special ammo tier list at the end you forgot arbalest. Thank you for making the entire tier list so I can see someone else's pov other than my own.
Dude. Great video man. That's an epic amount of work right there, and I had a fun time watching it. Of course, I disagree with about 10 placements, but those are pretty great odds, eh?
haha yeah! I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you disagree with though, I'm always open to new perspectives :)
!! this video is amazing, thank you so much ! it must have taken a lot of work, you have my utmost respect from this. I do really think symmetry and wavespliter are slept on tho, but in the right hands they can be amazing !! symmetry starts slow but it can easily wipe a team after a couple headshots. trace rifles in general are slept on, but if you pair them with a bow or a sidearn like peacebond they can be super good.
Thanks!
I’m so happy that Eyes made it into A tier. Very underrated in PvP.
fr it's pretty good :)
you’re prob my fav pvp youtuber so far other than cammy, your voice is really soothing to hear in things like tier lists and i genuienly agree with a lot of this list
thanks so much!
@@ShadowDestiny of course! if i ever play against you i will probably get destroyed cause you’re way smarter than me, but beware my aim😤(jk obvi lol)
The amount of effort you put into this vid earned an automatic sub from me. Keep up the great work
Really cool list! Personally Im a trace rifle simp so I think you went kinda hard on them, but I do totally understand that they are not at all optimal. If you get the chance, maybe give them some more time Coldheart is my personal favourite, and whilst not the best option, I'm sure that a trace rifle in your hands would make them look S+ tier!
Love me some wavesplitter action.
You didn't mention Rat King's catalyst healing you when you reload after a kill, it's genuinely one of the best dueling weapons in the game because you essentially have the advantage in any gunfight you get into whether thats from the invisibility or the health regen.
I'm happy to see another upload man, keep it up
This is the most helpful video I’ve found so far and super easy to follow 10/10 watched the whole vid ❤️
thanks so much!
Love that he called the chaperone a sniper
I gotta call it what it is brother
WATCH THE UPDATED 2023 TIER LIST HERE: th-cam.com/video/HN8XzqPHZKU/w-d-xo.html
I notice that lorentz driver is not changing at all in your rankings. They literally gave it a pve nerf while everyone was complaining about it in pvp.
Ehh heir apparent will now get ohkod by the majority of supers and its arc shield will be taken out in less than a half second by most arc guns now. As of right now i believe itll be a solid A- maybe A+
Oh and another thing. Leviathan's breath one shot bodies all supers including titan in buble and well (via knockback). And it's "soo bad cuz slow waaaa" stompyes/shadow hunter mentality. If i can't get easy killfeeds, it's useless. All other proprieties be damned. Shit list contents from the perspective of that guy who only looks to stomp in 6's while using ace with fellwinters alongside shaterdive.
@@vLaD3r5 The meta in PvP is literally speed. The exact reason why movement exotics and high handling stats are what you want. I dont know which one I would choose for when i get power ammo, a legendary machine gun where i can easily get 4-5 kills fast, or a huge ass bow where i can get maybe 1 or 2 kills after 3 years.
@@vLaD3r5 yea i love levis, in 6s its a guaranteed two kills if you use it roght, and in trials its an easy one kill with good potential for 2.
This list is just what I was hoping for - Thank you for your effort!
Thanks so much!
Your videos are helping me tons keep up the good work
No matter how much i dodge or hide behind cover or jump out of the way the jötunn’s spash damage finds a way to kill me
Funny thing is, coldheart doesn't deal stasis damage not because it didn't in year one(well, that too) but because omolon wasn't given access to stasis in beyond light. Side note, electricity can be generated by cold
Edit:fixed a typo
Cold heart doesn’t deal stasis damage because it isn’t cold. It is so hot in fact, that omolon had to build a ‘cold heart’ into the weapon so that it doesn’t instantly overheat.
@@Dumpkimump oh yeah must've mixed it up lol. But yeah
Your hard work paid off. Excellent video bro!
thanks!
Thank you for this awesome video! 🙌 I’m still quite new to Destiny and I’ve found my calling with Crimson Hand Canon in pvp thanks to this
Glad it was helpful!
I love that you recognize that Auto Rifles are not up to par with their competition.
Any time I see a thread on Reddit or comment about improving the weapon type , there is almost always a dog pile of players that will tell you how awful it would be for the game and would ruin crucible if they get any more buffs.
Remember season of arrivals 600 rpms? That was a painful time in pvp
@@nathanflinchum1153 people forget every time, it's because Hand Cannons got nerfed and had a range of cap less than Auto Rifles. That paired with the damage buff to body and crit TTK for autos at the time.
Even then they were the top weapons used in the more competitive PvP modes.
I'm not gonna lie and say Rat King is A tier or something but it definitely deserves better than E when you have the catalyst! The archetype has a good ttk, is forgiving since the body ttk is still pretty fast, and gives a nice health bump after kill
Yeah catalyst completly changes the gun's viability. It makes clutching an unfair fight so much easier
Insane work man. Thank you for the list. I started playing since September. I needed this list
awesome, thanks for watching!
To the Coldheart sounding like a gun that should do stasis damage thing, the only cold thing about it is the core of the weapon itself, that is used to fire the megabeam of electric death.
although i do think coldheart does need some sort of buff to compare to the other trace rifles
Yeah the gun gets way too hot that’s why it deals increasing damage and you can even see it in action cause the gun releases more steam the longer you deal damage
Doesn't need a buff at all, if anything Prometheus and Wavesplitter do. Coldheart is one the highest DPS'ing specials in the game and has been for a long while.
I imagine it's because it uses cold fusion which, contrary to popular belief, isn't actually cold.
Man, how is everyone missing this? Like it physically hurt when people ask CoLd HeArT ShOuLd DeAL StAsIS DmG, BuNgLe...
Coldheart is called that not because the laser is cold, but because the core is cooled which allows for the beam
Yeah it's literally in the name. ColdHEART. As in the inside of the gun is cold, not the beam it fires. I'm not sure why so many people say "Coldheart should be stasis!" when it makes no sense AND would just be an unnecessary nerf to the gun.
@@pluto3194 cause its called cold heart and they released it b4 stasis kind of just bad planning. Make an arc gun and name it cold-heart even though we plan to bring stasis... duuurrrrr.... Should have just named it arcwave or some shit.
I just started to watch the video but already thanks for the effort. This is a bunch of work you did there!!!
thanks!
That’s a dope ass list bro. Very well done. Thank you for the time and effort keep up the good work
thanks!
This is really unfortunate, that this video isnt getting the attention it deserves. This video was awesome. I hope you dont lose motivation, this is one of the best tier list out there
Much love
everyone says Ace hits like a truck, but has anyone actually done a side-by-side comparison between the flinch recieved while getting hit by a truck?
😂😳
As much as I love symmetry, wish ender, and cerberus, your placements are understandable (as much as I hate to admit lol.) Love the amount of work! Keep it up, you've earned yourself a like and sub!
Thanks for this. Appreciate all the time and information.
Thanks for watching!!!
The F tier actually secretly stands for Funny tier
Leviathans breath is actually great in gambit. Regular crucible not so much
What was that explosive joke for Malfeasance? Lol
Also, I’m looking forward to (per this week’s TWAB) the 50% increase in Malf’s explosion damage; I love the thing in pve with Lucky Pants and if 180s ever rise above garbage tier in PVP…
lol yeah if 180s become good malfeasance will be insane
God damn man, that was a lot of work! Loved it! Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
@@ShadowDestiny no man, thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping others!
You just earned a sub, you are the first creator to create a video that addresses both console and PC. Many of these other creators, as good as they are only focus on their gaming device, which makes the reviews way less accurate than it should be.
❤️❤️ tyvm
FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT DUNEMARCHERS
Am I the only one who never knew about kinetics pointing to the left and energy to the right?
Your level of commitment and thoroughness got my subscribe and like
Hey, really appreciate it!
Love this. I would also love to see something for those of us who can grind all the god rolls for legendaries, TimeLost, or Adept versions of weapons. Like even with the worst perks you should consider using Scathlocke because of x, y, z and it is good even with out those perks. Anyway, keep up the great content and great use of CTA's in your video! Keep rockin'
100% disagree with Rat King placement- with good movement, the invisibility from the vermin perk can really make for a chaotic fight for your opponent. Also, the catalyst makes it heal on reloads after a kill, which is very powerful
mm fair enough, I respect it
Definitely, up close it really melts and still is good in mid close range. The perks are really good, especially with the catalyst and if you are with your mates and using this gun together it is really underrated. (Last time the map was anomaly me and the boys used all Ratkings for a really fun flawless, pissing off a lot of players)Though I have to say the range on rat king is not overall good, especially compared to some legendary sidearms, forcing you to play much closer with it. Even with that I would have at least rated this for D tier, and in B tier personally.
It also should be taken into account that sidearms are just way stickier on controller too.
I really love the Ace, almost more than Cayde seemed to. Seen it on S tier almost made me cry in joy.
I feel ya my friend.I keep a slightly diverse selection of Hand Cannons on me at all times.Aside from the Ace of ♤ just being Awesomely Devine based on performance alone.Then you factor in how GD cool it looks.Yeah it's appearance is mesmerizing to those with any sense of style at all,but for those looking down the business end.Id bet their experience isn't nearly as pleasant as ours..lol..
Fantastic work and great video!
Thanks! ❤️❤️
This is insanely awesome thank you! 🤩
Your "Dornröschen" is the most accurate of all the DestinyTubers who attempted to pronounce it.
Once again you’ve helped me with a weapons build.
Thank you for making this video, i haven't played destiny 2 in a while so there's many exotics that i haven't seen the perks of or in action, so thank you
Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️
Putting Rat King in E tier feels like a cardinal sin. It's honestly an amazing sidearm
28:00 yes your pronunciation of Dornröschen was on point. Props to you for not falling for the trap of pronauncing sch as sh
I love your vid but I also have to say that due to the 3.0 versions that are out now that when arc 3.0 comes out you may want to make another ranking vid. Given that the devs and mods are finally going the "pick what feels right to you" route and giving blessings to many different weapon types and rpm due to trying to creat a diverse weapon pool instead of a meta weapon pool. Love your vids and I watched the stages of guardians when it came out and decided to sub to you. Your voice definitely keeps me focused and videos entertaining. Keep up the good work!
YO
First clip with bad juju on burnout the rank 16 warlock jumping out the rift was me! I just realized that, thats crazy. Much love
Wow you’re the second person to say they saw themselves in the video haha! Ggs
@@ShadowDestiny ggs man
Thanks for doing all of this work! Love the channel. Keep it up. Also rat king is far stronger than most people give it credit. It definitely takes a lot of skill but I combine it with bakris and it breaks people's neck on a regular.
Great video my man, subbed
I really appreciate it!
Your a good TH-camr with quality videos keep up the great work
I know it's pretty late, but great job on this tier list. You the Goat ❤️
no u the goat
Thank you for this video!
I was really surprised of your pronaunciation of Dornröschen, it was great.
Greetings from Germany
Thank you for your amazing work 👍
Just subscribed! Love your videos
Love the vids shadow
that dunemarchers joke got me, good video man
Fun fact with hawkmoon: hand cannon holster mods and lucky pants can reload it without wasting paracausal shot, so you can have x7 paracausal shot in your first bullet, so in theory, you can abuse the extreme range paracausal x7 gives from bullet 9 to 2 and then stow the weapon for a bit until it's all the way up, and then if you need a quick kill you just do the ca-caw shot
This is the firsy video in which i have purposely watched all the ads. You deserve it bro
Great list!
Thumbs up for simply the info about barrels pointing denoting kinetic or energy slots.
:)
@@ShadowDestiny Damn man, awesome you liked my comment on a video you made 2 months ago.
Immediate sub, this guide is amazing
Actually your pronouncation of "Dornröschen" was pretty much spot on. Good work ;)
Haha POG
This List is awesome and i show you my deep respect 💪🏻👍
Thanks so much!
Absolute legend
Great video
Thanks so much really appreciate it
Well done on the tier list bro, outstanding. I agree with your pvp list 💯. Would love to see you do a pve tier list ;)
Thank you so much man. Your videos have single handedly saved from quitting this game. Thank you so much.
Brilliant video fair play 👍
Shadow I love your videos and this tier list is fantastic.
That said Rat King was definitely robbed. It's a 0.07s slower TTK than Last Word, you can ADS with it or not without penalty, you only need to hit one headshot for a 0.8s TTK, it gives you invisibility and health on a kill, it has a perfect 100 recoil direction and thus very manageable recoil, unlike TLW it has great in-air accuracy, it has 15 in the mag and a faster reload than TLW so you're much less ammo-starved, and it has cool little rat eyes that glow when a friend has it equipped. All that for having a couple of metres less range, 16 vs 20. Sure it could use a buff but it's definitely not E tier when paired with a good sniper, similar to Last Word.
Great video, automaticaly liked and deserve more views 👍 now maybe rank those exotics performance but in pve ?!
My favourite is Ace of Spades thanks for making this vid
You got a like and sub for just informing me what the orientation of the weapon icon meant.
:)
Kinda late to the party, but im German and you actually spelled the Dornröschen perk right haha. Great video after all, thanks for all of the content :)
Thank you
I really liked this vid it probably took a long time to make, for exotics I think are more about fun or spice
Love your content, you deserve more love than Kackass
Thanks. I love Kackis though, he deserves everything he's got
Damn this is legendary work
much love
Just want to add something. that the effort put into this video is beautiful. Thank you for this art. liked and subbed
Much appreciated, means a lot
Thank you so much. Thank you. Subbed immediate
God damn 50 minutes video of Shadow? This is a great day.
Definitely earned a sub
