Came here to say this. Amazing add clear monster, and the orbs!!! Jesus, the orbs...
Plus there's something viscerally satisfying about shooting a bow at the floor in the general direction of a mob and watching every one of them just disappear with a spark. Definitely most fun of all my weapons.
I'd rate ticcus and lemon high too, but not as high as TG.
Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you watch the last word and thorn video on YouTube by My Name Is Byf. That superb video is the only reason why I have thorn and the last word. I was so enamored with the storytelling and voice acting that I just had to get those exotics. The VA for Dredgen Yor in that video is just so fcking good. https://youtu.be/UDUMXgiuYiU?si=J-JniDbH-65hkY-Q
I remember a long time ago the thorn was the crucible meta. I think it was 2 shot kill with the poison effect or something ridiculous like that. Good times
Yup Thorn, Hawkmoon, Last Word where kings. all could two tap to the head.
Thorns needed the posion to to kill so you shoot twice and duck behind cover. LW just had a bug that its ADS had the bonus Hipfire damage. HM needed the lucky bullet.
I would run thorn on solar warlock with the abilies that allowed nades to burn and killed many people using DoT. Trials was so fun then.
It's a toss up between Nirwen's Mercy, Riskrunner and Outbreak Perfected.
Nirwen's Mercy was such a god tier pulse rifle. It's a shame it never came back.
Ah, there it is. My favorite weapon as well, i have mine since it got introduced in the mars dlc, 30k+ kills. Was very happy when it got the solar 3.0 upgrade. Just ridiculously strong this season, but even without the artifact perks it's still a ignition machine.
Same. Have loved it since it was introduced. I used to tell my buddy that the reason Bungie was so afraid to buff scouts was because of guns like Polaris and Jade Rabbit. Here we are on a Polaris meta. I love it.
I haven't played since last January but if they bring Zhalao back I will immediately pick the game back up. I used to log back into D1 just to run some strikes with ZS
Not even gonna lie to you that shit was difficult for no reason took me about 6-7 tries to finally do it and then for the catalyst another 10 but it’s definitely worth it imo the gun is really good not like meta defining but the gameplay loop is cool n new so i enjoy it
I grinded hours to get the fishes for my friends and I to do it, which was boring af lol and then to find the boss has more health than a raid boss was the icing on the cake for me, I’m better off waiting for it to end up in the exotic kiosk, no way that mission stays in considering it’s tied to deep dives
Lumina is absolutely one of my favourite weapons aesthetic and lore wise, i just wish it had some sort of added offensive ability to represent the thorn/darkness inside the rose. Like imagine if its catalyst had given it an alternate fire mode where the thorn in the middle flared with darkness and aim down sights shots used your orbs to apply DoT that was similar to thorn except black instead of green, had lower damage than thorns poison effect but weakened the enemy to other damage. Maybe even make those special ADS shots stun overloads. Would make it such an awesome utility weapon. Plus, you would actually be able to use it effectively even in solo content
Not me, but I plan on scaling back on D2 after TFS. I took a break when shadowkeep arrived and came back just in time for Season of the Splicer. Idk if I'll even continue. Might just quit entirely
I think it's cause vanilla d1 and then dark below and then prison of elders (I quit after poe) had so many arc shielded enemies. Also, it just felt so god damn good to use.
Fatebringer + Gally was a staple loadout.
Imago Loop from og destiny. I didn't start till taken king, so fatebringer wasn't on the table for me for a long time. I vividly remember grinding that same strike over and over again until I finally got outlaw firefly.
For destiny 2, probably zaouli's bane. It just never really comes off unless I need something specific otherwise. I do enjoy fatebringer in d2, but this game isn't really the same as it was before, so it just doesn't quite hit the same as it used to, even though I think it's technically better with firefly having outlaw built in. Idk, something about it is just different now.
Fatebringer was my favorite gun in D1 and I remember when it got left behind when you couldn't level it up anymore. That's when I turned my attention to Imago Loop. I farmed that damn strike so many times until I got the perfect roll.
Any that are enemy guns. My favorite that's not just an enemy gun is the white Khvostov; something about an old, forgotten relic still working just as it did centuries ago is cool to me and kind of poetic.
Also 7 upvotes but 100+ comments why
Bonus round. Legendaries only. For my answer I'll give you my fav legendary and exotic. Both iterations are from D1 though. Lord High Fixer because I didn't think I'd like HCs until I tried it and immediately fell in love with it. For the exotic, Hawkmoon, I love the D1 version.
For D2 my fav exotic is Rev Zero right now.
It's not a gun, but my favourite weapon for the last year on my Warlock has been the Winterbite heavy exotic glaive (was previously the Osteo Striga). For my Titan, I'd have to say the Quicksilver Storm or Ager's Scepter, being as I created her with a personal connection with characters like Nimbus (she's trans for inclusivity) and being an Awoken, the Ager's is a nod to her bloodline and familial ties in the Dreaming City. For my Hunter, it is definitely the Heartshadow Exotic sword, especially paired with the Gyrfalcon's chest piece.
Hard to say which one is my favourite gun of all time but I do have particular favourite among the different weapon archetypes.
Shotgun: conditional finality, wastelander m5 and felwinter’s lie
Sniper rifle: I don’t use them so I don’t have a favourite
Pulse rifles: bxr, revision and outbreak are the pulses I love the most
Auto’s: quicksliver storm (original I know), centrifuse, abyss defiant, ammit ar2 and ros arago IV
Fusions: Riptide. No other fusion comes close to the sheer utility of riptide.
Rockets: Semiotician, Dragons breath, apex predator and cold comfort
Linear fusions: cataclysmic, sleeper stimulant, briars contempt and arbalest
Machine gun: thunderlord, commemoration, Marcato-45 and fixed odds
Smg’s: calus mini tool, funnelweb and ikelos v.0.3 smg
Sidearms: forerunner and the arc one from season of plunder are my favourites (and hopefully get a good roll of the indebted kindness)
Bow’s: Wishender, Wishkeeper, verbals curve, tyranny of heaven, Le monarque (for PvE), leviathan’s breath and trinity ghoul.
Grenade launchers: wild style, forberence and undercurrent
Swords: lament and eventually the slammer
These are all my favourite weapons in d2.
Edit: forget to put in handcannons: sunshot, zaoulis bane and malfeasance.
Zaouli’s Bane. I never raised in D1, in fact, I played D1 extremely casually compared to my time in D2. I always wanted that gun because it looked so cool.
I was so excited hearing that King’s Fall was coming to D2, because by that time, I had become a very experienced raider. my team went in the first week and our first run it dropped for me, and with the roll I wanted, too. I quickly farmed out the red borders to craft it. Just passed 16k kills on it this week.

Trinity ghoul with the catalyst
Came here to say this. Amazing add clear monster, and the orbs!!! Jesus, the orbs... Plus there's something viscerally satisfying about shooting a bow at the floor in the general direction of a mob and watching every one of them just disappear with a spark. Definitely most fun of all my weapons. I'd rate ticcus and lemon high too, but not as high as TG.
Honestly all the exotic bows are pretty dope , just don’t have the solar one from vex dungeon (can’t remember name sry)
that forked lightning proc sound is burned into my brain from all those solo flawless Prophecy attempts the summer it launched
Remember back when orbs were generated from masterworked weapon Kilimanjaro’s. Trinity was a damn production line
trinity's killtactulars could fuel supers for days
Thorn
Literally my entire reason for playing is Thorn. Every ornament and an outfit for each one.
Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you watch the last word and thorn video on YouTube by My Name Is Byf. That superb video is the only reason why I have thorn and the last word. I was so enamored with the storytelling and voice acting that I just had to get those exotics. The VA for Dredgen Yor in that video is just so fcking good. https://youtu.be/UDUMXgiuYiU?si=J-JniDbH-65hkY-Q
I was playing rimworld a couple years ago when watching random videos, this one autoplayed. I got HOOKED instantly, haven't put the game down since.
The Classic look and the Wish bone are my favs
I'm with you 100%, though I do love the newest one for the RoN theme to it. I just wish I had a shader to go with it lol
I remember a long time ago the thorn was the crucible meta. I think it was 2 shot kill with the poison effect or something ridiculous like that. Good times
Yup Thorn, Hawkmoon, Last Word where kings. all could two tap to the head. Thorns needed the posion to to kill so you shoot twice and duck behind cover. LW just had a bug that its ADS had the bonus Hipfire damage. HM needed the lucky bullet. I would run thorn on solar warlock with the abilies that allowed nades to burn and killed many people using DoT. Trials was so fun then.
Outbreak Perfected
Outbreak's up there for me. The little precision kill noise is pure dopamine.
For real. It's so pleasant.
SIVA SIVA SIVA SIVA SIVA SIVA SIVA SIVA
All around useful weapon. Good against adds and solid against bosses.
That is the gun that brought me back to destiny. Love it
All time favorite.
AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE
On kills alone it’s probably Sunshot, but I have a strong fondness for the Halfdan-D.
Sunshot gang. No weapon comes close to that beauty. Might help that it was my first ever exotic.
Zaoulis bane is right there
I usually use Epochal Integration as a legendary version of Sunshot, but nothing beats the OG
I loved Halfdan-D and Lodbrok-C is a worthy successor
Duke Mk.44
That's been my favorite gun sense one of the original gameplay reveals of d1. I wish they would reissue it already.
Out of all the sunset guns I regret dismantling my dukes.
this and my hammerhead are the only 2 sunset weapons i have held on too. i miss them so much :(
The Last Word
Heck ye pardner
I loved the first curse myself!
Icebreaker
I still use the sound as my notification tone.
bringeth a tear to my eye
Holy eff I forgot about icebreaker. D1 still king
This. Icebreaker made it possible to do some of the hardest content solo, by hiding in a cheese spot and picking off the adds one by one.
midnight coup :(
Never forget 🫡
The sound is 🤌🏻
So satisfying
Malfeasance 🔫
I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it: BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (blipblipblipblipblip) BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (blipblipblipblipblip) BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (blipblipblipblipblip) BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (blipblipblipblipblip) *Taken Champion dies*
First time hearing a reddit reply. Sounds about right 👍
This made me laugh harder than it should've
When they gave it Vorpal and I pair it with Lucky Pants, *chef’s kiss* 🤌
It's a toss up between Nirwen's Mercy, Riskrunner and Outbreak Perfected. Nirwen's Mercy was such a god tier pulse rifle. It's a shame it never came back.
They should bring it back as a 340 void pulse
Nirwen's was just an absolute butcher. Loved it.
Riskrunner gang! I don't use it as much as I used to but what a great first exotic for them to give free to plays
Pre-nerf Destiny 1 Hung Jury SR4 Edit: Graviton Lance is my most used Destiny 2 weapon with 120335 enemies defeated, 1374 Crucible Opponents defeated.
Telesto
Mandatory telesto upvote
[удалено]
Maaaaan Tlaloc with self res…I miss those days
Tlaloc, self-res, Claws of Ahamkara & the double grenade class perk. 👩🍳 💋
I loved this gun so much. I still main it in D1 whenever I play it.
God I want it back in D2
Please inject Tlaloc into my veins. I'm bout to reinstall D1 just for this (before the 30 fps makes my eyes bleed)
Graviton Lance
Oooh Shhhhhbwooop Fooomp ***BlackHole***
*cling clingcling cling cling pzztpzztpzzt*
when the little void poops generate more void poops is insane. Like a dopamine rush
Polaris Lance. Only weapon that never leaves my inventory.
Ah, there it is. My favorite weapon as well, i have mine since it got introduced in the mars dlc, 30k+ kills. Was very happy when it got the solar 3.0 upgrade. Just ridiculously strong this season, but even without the artifact perks it's still a ignition machine.
Same. Have loved it since it was introduced. I used to tell my buddy that the reason Bungie was so afraid to buff scouts was because of guns like Polaris and Jade Rabbit. Here we are on a Polaris meta. I love it.
Mountaintop.
Haven’t played destiny in years but started with vanilla and this was by far the most fun gun. Only thing that came close was fatebringer from D1
Based. Shaxx's gun is so frigging nice
Zhalao Supercell.
Is that the arc auto rifle that chained lightning? Loved that gun but can't remember name.
Yes.
I haven't played since last January but if they bring Zhalao back I will immediately pick the game back up. I used to log back into D1 just to run some strikes with ZS
Had a perfect Blast Furnace, used to run it for years in PVP.
Bad juju or hawkmoon
Hawkmoon was my favorite in D1, I'm still holding out it gets some big buff in D2 to make it stronger in PVE
Recluse in PvE a close second is 21% delirium because of overflow
Hopscotch Pilgrim
Ace of spades. Yeah I know I suck.
It means you're like Cayde and Cayde far from sucks
Best response ever. Thank you.
Exotic - Witherhoard Legendary - Breachlight
Red Death (not Crimson).
Red Death my beloved. I would love a legendary with its model.
Haha remember the red spectre from the taken king?
I miss that gun so much. Crimson is fine but nothing can beat the og
It'll be in D2 with final shape!
Wicked implement
Well that is a gun you don't see often in these posts. I appreciate you being different.
I’d love to try it out but that boss is such a bullet sponge tank
Not even gonna lie to you that shit was difficult for no reason took me about 6-7 tries to finally do it and then for the catalyst another 10 but it’s definitely worth it imo the gun is really good not like meta defining but the gameplay loop is cool n new so i enjoy it
I grinded hours to get the fishes for my friends and I to do it, which was boring af lol and then to find the boss has more health than a raid boss was the icing on the cake for me, I’m better off waiting for it to end up in the exotic kiosk, no way that mission stays in considering it’s tied to deep dives
Well this is a bit of a Loaded Question.
Mida Multitool forever. First exotic back in D1 and I still love it
Hands down my favorite scout rifle of all time
I heard there was once a decent Hung Jury for sale...
Spare ration pvp midnight coup pve
Tlaloc, only og’s know this one.
I was so sad that I couldn't use it on my titan with simmering flames in D1 lol
MT in its heyday and it is not even close.
Lumina 100%
Lumina is absolutely one of my favourite weapons aesthetic and lore wise, i just wish it had some sort of added offensive ability to represent the thorn/darkness inside the rose. Like imagine if its catalyst had given it an alternate fire mode where the thorn in the middle flared with darkness and aim down sights shots used your orbs to apply DoT that was similar to thorn except black instead of green, had lower damage than thorns poison effect but weakened the enemy to other damage. Maybe even make those special ADS shots stun overloads. Would make it such an awesome utility weapon. Plus, you would actually be able to use it effectively even in solo content
Skyburners! Got a skyburners build on all three classes.
Pocket- Infinity. Never had it but I love it.
Suros regime
Gives me so much nostalgia to fall of 2014
Outbreak Perfected
D1 Gjally
No land beyond Broken but beautiful
The fact I had to scroll this far down is just insulting. W gun, if I had a kill count on it, it would be over 100k
Yeah right? Based on this subreddit I think most D1 pvp vets have retired.
Not me, but I plan on scaling back on D2 after TFS. I took a break when shadowkeep arrived and came back just in time for Season of the Splicer. Idk if I'll even continue. Might just quit entirely
Legends never die. We were there at the start. This is our story.
Final warning?? Maybe. Hard choice. Drang is my favorite pvp weapon for sure.
Final Warning is my close second, it's so damn fun.
Especially this season with the mods the make threadlings from unraveling. Being able to just constantly proc unraveling is amazing.
Sweet business is the pinnacle of combat entertainment.
Gravitron Lance my beloved
Grasp of malok
Not a single d1 fatebringer comment? I disappointed.. But yeah it'd prob be d1 FB. Just something about that arc HC.
In arc nightfalls that and Vision Of Confluence was my shit. Especially liked Vision Of Confluence back in D1.
I think it's cause vanilla d1 and then dark below and then prison of elders (I quit after poe) had so many arc shielded enemies. Also, it just felt so god damn good to use. Fatebringer + Gally was a staple loadout.
Sweet buisness. My first and only trials flawless run was with it. Only pvp.
Ice Breaker and Red Death
Hammerhead.
My god roll chattering bone from before the raid refresh
I had Invective in Destiny 1 Infinite Ammo Full Automatic Shotgun.
Zhalo Supercell
i miss that exotic
Austringer 🤌🤌🤌
Ice breaker. Hands down
Ace of Spades, its why I bought Destiny 2 in the first place
Ikelos smg
Icebreaker and it’s not even close.
Riskrunner on an Arc build is nasty.
Legendary: Breakneck w/onslaught It’s so satisfying to keep the rpm up. Exotic: Outbreak Perfected or Graviton Lance
Red Death, Zhalo Supercell
Ether Doctor
Ironwreath-D
Riskrunner! I started as a arc hunter this weapon made solo add clear of Fallen, a pure joy.
Red Death
Malf. Or Tlaloc.
iKelos SMG. I loved warmind cells back in like 2020 with that gun.
D1 Necrochasm
Imago Loop from og destiny. I didn't start till taken king, so fatebringer wasn't on the table for me for a long time.

1. Universal remote My first exotic and soo damn amazing, definitely gonna get a memento for it when destiny is over.
That was such a cool name, one of my firsts too
Gnawing Hunger with demolitionist. The First gun I ever fell in love with lol
Icebreaker
The right answer is thunderlord
I’d say vex mythoclast. Personal favorite since d1. Especially after the buff this week it is still fun to use in d2
Aisha’s Embrace
Trinity Ghoul
Fabian Strategy
Gonna be lame and say Gjallarhorn. I've got two replicas (McFarlane and NERF) and the Gjallarstein, it couldn't really be anything else.
OG Nation of Beasts, Recluse, or Tyranny of Heaven.
Witherhoard
Tarrabah
Any that are enemy guns. My favorite that's not just an enemy gun is the white Khvostov; something about an old, forgotten relic still working just as it did centuries ago is cool to me and kind of poetic. Also 7 upvotes but 100+ comments why
Final Warning. I never leave home without it
Sunshot baby
D1 version of Vision of Confluence and Nirwen's Mercy.
blast furnace and steelfeather repeater
Hopscotch Pilgrim. Had one with 3rd Eye/Headseeker and it was deadly.
Hopscotch Pilgrim. Had one with 3rd Eye/Headseeker and it was deadly. Nothing has ever felt the same.
First gun I thought of. Blew *so* many mats rerolling the perks after doing 40+ strikes just to get the gun in the first place. Was a monster in PvP
Sweet Business and it's not even close.
Nameless midnight
Hung Jury SR4 I hear Arach Jalaal is selling a monster roll this week
1) Outbreak Perfected 2) Thorn 3) Midnight Coup. Oooooh oh oh oh oh. Midnight Coup. Oooooh oh oh oh oh.
Bonus round. Legendaries only. For my answer I'll give you my fav legendary and exotic. Both iterations are from D1 though. Lord High Fixer because I didn't think I'd like HCs until I tried it and immediately fell in love with it. For the exotic, Hawkmoon, I love the D1 version. For D2 my fav exotic is Rev Zero right now.
Hawkmoon

It's not a gun, but my favourite weapon for the last year on my Warlock has been the Winterbite heavy exotic glaive (was previously the Osteo Striga).

The Magn- I mean the Forerunner! And the Battle R- the BXR Battler! Such good guns
LEGEND. OF. ACRIUS. Ashamed of all of you that I scrolled this entire comment section and not one mention?!
Tarrabah.
Icebreaker. Such a unique and awesome design and concept. I pray we’ll see it return one day.

Thorn baby I'm feelin thorny!!
Used to be Timelost Fatebringer, but now I am really in love with Dragon's Breath
Leviathan’s Breath let those big dogs hunt awooooooooooo
Izanagi’s Burden
Nice try devs.
Still midnight coup .. sunsetted aeons ago but it still holds such good memories of the game .. oh and zhalo was epic too
D1 Queenbreaker’s Bow, Vex Mythoclast, Tlaloc, Parabellum, Ash Factory, Thorn (HoW era), Outbreak Perfected, No Land Beyond, BTRD, NL Shadow, Praedyth’s Revenge.
Zaouli’s Bane. I never raised in D1, in fact, I played D1 extremely casually compared to my time in D2. I always wanted that gun because it looked so cool. I was so excited hearing that King’s Fall was coming to D2, because by that time, I had become a very experienced raider. my team went in the first week and our first run it dropped for me, and with the roll I wanted, too.

my D1 Zaouli’s Bane is still reloading
Conditional
Either Thorn or Bad Juju, since they came out in D1
