Destiny 2 Best Raid Weapons
Updated:
24 Sep 2020

Lots of guns, then more guns, after that, even more guns. One could argue that the best defense is a great offense and the world of Destiny 2 seems to agree fervently. The superweapons from this sci-fi setting draw inspiration from history with cowboy-inspired shooters, too futuristic laser spewing rifles that cause devastating damage; the colorful menagerie of the death-dealing arsenal is vast. The more powerful of these are mostly found doing raids. These drops (or quest items) usually come along with top-notch rolls and higher damage performance than their ordinary counterparts. Gear up guardian and dive into raid mode; find these and become what the darkness fears. Here is a list of 10 raid weapons to keep an eye out for.
