In Destiny 2, "void" is one of three kinds of elemental damage, along with solar and arc. Furthermore, each weapon type has various archetypes with distinct stats and benefits to suit different play styles and tastes. Some weapons may have intrinsic perks that increase their void damage output or provide additional benefits linked to the Void subclass powers.
Using void weapons strategically can be particularly effective against enemies with void shields or vulnerabilities to void damage, making them an essential part of a Guardian's arsenal in Destiny 2 activities such as strikes, raids, and Crucible matches.
What are the best Void Weapons in Destiny 2?
Bungie continually introduces new void weapons into the game each season, making it challenging to determine the absolute best among them. However, here's a curated list of the top 10 void weapons currently available.
10. Doom Of Chelchis
Regarding Void scout rifles, two prominent contenders stand out: Aisha's Embrace and Doom of Chelchis. Obtaining these weapons isn't straightforward, with Aisha's Embrace now unavailable in the Trials of Osiris loot pool and Doom of Chelchis exclusive to the King's Fall raid, for those fortunate enough to have the chance, acquiring the Harrowed version of Doom of Chelchis from the Master difficulty King's Fall raid is highly recommended.
This variant offers a combination of perks suitable for PvP and PvE engagements. However, perks like Firefly or Explosive Payload in the first column are almost essential for PvE activities, greatly enhancing the rifle's effectiveness in dealing with enemy hordes and delivering impactful precision shots.

9. Exalted Truth
The Exalted Truth void hand cannon in Destiny 2 is a recent addition with excellent stats and perk combinations explicitly designed for PvP combat. Thanks to its outstanding stability and handling, it immediately became a preferred choice for competitive encounters. Its main feature, SUROS Synergy, sets it apart by significantly improving handling and eliminating flinching after reloading.

8. Collective Obligation
Collective Obligation, the raid Exotic from Vow of the Disciple, continues to be somewhat overlooked by the Destiny 2 community. However, it received significant buffs during Season of the Plunder, elevating it to a formidable choice for void builds, especially among Void Hunters.
One of its standout features is its ability to store Void Leech, which, when activated, debuffs targets. This newfound functionality essentially positions Collective Obligation as a substitute for Divinity as a weakening weapon. Moreover, it shines as a primary weapon capable of dealing substantial damage, particularly with the Void 3.0 update.
Exotic Perk:
This weapon leeches Void debuffs when damaging targets that are suppressed, weakened, or volatile. Once charged, [Alternate Weapon Action] will be used to swap firing modes. In this mode, damage from this weapon applies the same Void debuffs that were leeched.

7. The Hero’s Burden
The Hero’s Burden, an Adaptive Frame Submachine Gun from Iron Banner, has undergone several perk updates. However, the Season of Defiance introduced a significant refresh, granting it a brand-new perk known as Destabilizing Rounds.
Destabilizing Rounds have the unique effect of causing nearby targets to become volatile upon kills. This bestows the wielder with volatile rounds without necessitating them to be on a Void subclass. Additionally, if the user is on a Void subclass, it further enhances their void builds, amplifying their effectiveness in combat scenarios.

6. Taipan-4FR
Linear Fusion Rifles have emerged as the go-to choice for boss damage in the current meta, dominating activities like GM Nightfalls and raids. While many LFRs are challenging to obtain, often requiring raid or Trials of Osiris participation, Taipan stands out as an exception. By completing a brief Enclave quest, players can unlock the ability to craft Taipan-4FR, offering a solid DPS option.
Sporting the same notable perk combination as its Stasis counterpart, Reed's Regret, Taipan combines Triple Tap and Firing Line, an S-tier combination for endgame PvE content. This allows players to unleash massive damage while occasionally benefiting from partial reloads courtesy of Veist Stinger, the weapon's origin trait.

5. Le Monarque
Le Monarque, an Exotic precision-frame Bow, has Snapshot Sights and the unique feature of Poison Arrows. It's a leading contender for endgame challenges thanks to its ability to shoot toxic arrows that cause a poisonous spray when conditions are right. These deadly clouds can be generated with great accuracy and timing, causing substantial damage.
In PvE situations, Le Monarque is very effective against Overload Champions and majors. Combined with Volatile Rounds, it becomes an effective weapon in Match Game activities, capable of eliminating Champions.

4. Leviathan's Breath
Leviathan's Breath is the only bow in Destiny 2 that uses heavy ammo, having been added as a seasonal weapon during the Season of the Undying event. Despite its impressive damage potential, the long draw time initially limited its efficacy. However, with the revised catalyst following the Lightfall DLC, which offers an improved version of Archer's Tempo, this weapon saw a huge alteration, particularly in PvE encounters.
With the release of Void 3.0, volatile rounds become a fixture in almost every activity. Leviathan's Breath emerged as an excellent alternative for endgame content, perfectly combining with ad-clearing void builds.

Graviton Lance received a massive transformation in Season of the Deep, including a considerable increase in fire rate and an astonishing 67% damage boost.

Warlord's Ruin, the latest dungeon introduced in Season of the Wish, allows players to obtain its coveted Exotic drop, Buried Bloodline, if luck is on their side. This Sidearm stands out for its unprecedented archetype and has swiftly become a staple in the Destiny 2 meta.
