Skill is an extremely important factor in being good in FPS games, but certain games, such as Destiny 2, have one more thing you need. You guessed it, good weapons. This is especially true for PvE, as the level of difficulty continues to go higher and higher the further you get and the more missions you complete.
Worry not, as you’ll find the absolute best weapons to use in PvE down below.
3 Best Kinetic PvE Weapons
3 – Ostreo Striga
Ostreo Striga is an incredibly useful kinetic SMG for those looking for a top-tier crowd control weapon. This crowd control potential makes it so good for PvE content, as the enemies, regardless of how many there might be, will drop like flies in no time.
Of course, that isn’t all this weapon offers, as it also can spread poison almost instantly through huge waves of enemies. This only adds to the crowd control capabilities we mentioned before. Take the tracking capabilities of the rounds it fires, and we got ourselves a kinetic winner. Of course, if you want to take it further, you can pair it with necrotic grips.
2 – Witherhoard
A crowd-controlling kinetic SMG is all good, but what if you’re in the mood for some explosive chaos? Well, that’s where the Witherhoard comes in. This kinetic weapon is a grenade launcher that’s also one of the unique weapons in the game.
This is because this weapon fires Taken Blights, which create a field that deals damage over time to any enemy brave (or stupid) enough to walk in it. With this, you can clear large hordes of enemies in no time and deal damage over time to bosses, making PvE raids a breeze.
1 – Arbalest
If you’ve played the late-to-endgame content of Destiny 2, you know how much of a pain it is to deal with enemies with barriers shielding them. Of course, seeing as how most players enjoyed the postgame content of Lightfall more than the actual story, chances are a lot of you must have rushed to the postgame as well and are dealing with barrier enemies now.
Well, what if we told you there’s a linear kinetic fusion rifle called the Arbalest that can destroy shields and barriers in just a single hit?
Now, add this info and add that you can auto-reload your Arbalest every time you break an enemy’s shield or barrier, and you got yourself the best kinetic weapon in Destiny 2 for PvE.

3 Best Energy PvE Weapons
3 – The Fourth Horseman
The third-best energy weapon for PvE in Destiny 2 isn’t even a weapon that originated in this game. Instead, it first came out in its predecessor, the first Destiny, and continues to be a powerhouse today.
Of course, there’s no surprise why it’s so loved. This exotic shotgun fires 360 rounds per minute, which is exactly four rounds per second. Because of this, not only is it a beast when you’re trying to take down beefy enemies, but also when you’re up against bosses with a lot of health. Just fill them with shotgun shells, and you’ll be ready.
2 – Tarrabah
The Tarrabah might sound entirely average at first. After all, it’s a regular energy SMG with decent stats, right? Well, that is until you take down around a hundred enemies. That’s when the real fun begins.
You see, the Tarrabah is a weapon that stores energy whenever we either deal or receive damage. This energy can then be activated by holding the reload button to give the weapon some insane buffs, such as headshots dealing double damage, faster reloading, a faster fire rate, increased sprint speed, and body shots dealing three times as much damage.
Although the duration of the buff is initially only 7 seconds, it can be extended by either damaging bosses or taking out even more enemies. This makes the Tarrabah one of the best energy weapons for PvE missions and raids where there are many enemies or bosses with a lot of health.
1 – Trinity Ghoul
Last but definitely not least is the best energy weapon for PvE in Destiny 2, the Trinity Ghoul. This bow has insane damage-dealing and crowd-control capabilities. This is because a single precision kill with this weapon is enough to create a chain-lighting effect that can take out hordes of enemies in no time.
Although this weapon has been out for years, it didn’t become a fan favorite until it got a catalyst, and what a catalyst it is. Players who get the catalyst for this bow can activate its chain lightning capabilities much more easily than they would without it. Because of it, the Trinity Ghoul is on the list of the top 10 best exotic weapons in Lightfall.
3 Best Power PvE Weapons
3 – The Other Half
Come on, you know we had to add a sword for power weapons. If you want to zoom around the map all the while slicing away at enemies for some really good damage, then this is the sword for you.
The mobility this sword provides players with is enough to land it a spot on this list, as many players have claimed that their gameplay feels too sluggish without it.

2 – Commemoration
A bit of an overlooked machine gun in Destiny 2 is Commemoration, but many players don’t know that it has some insane potential to be a very good weapon. After all, all you have to do is use reconstruction to not only give the weapon a way to auto-reload but also to overload the magazine.
Pair that with Killing Tally, and you have a way to increase this gun’s damage to an unbelievable degree.
1 – The Hothead
Finally, the best power weapon for PvE, as well as the best rocket launcher you can get your hands on in Destiny 2 is the Hothead. Of course, it already has some insane damage output capabilities. Still, you get the god roll for this weapon, specifically the Solar Warlock one, and watch as even the toughest enemies fall victim to your rockets.
