How Many Weapons Are There In Destiny 2?
There are over 90 weapons currently in Destiny 2, with plans to increase the range considerably in future updates. We’ll update this guide with each weapon release and place them into our ranking system.
Our Tiers Explained
Here’s what our tiers mean.
S Tier List
The best weapons in the game, and deemed the strongest when it comes to their abilities. We recommend trying to obtain an S-tier weapons as soon as possible.
A Tier List
Fantastic weapons and great replacements if you don’t manage to get your hands on an S tier. They can be used alongside S-tier weapons and can easily help you clear content.
B Tier List
Not the best in terms of strength but they’re good fillers at the start of the game. They can be used as a support choice to aid your A-tier and S-tier weapons.
C Tier List
It’s best to avoid placing these weapons in your collection, especially if you want to clear content efficiently.
D Tier List
Not worth upgrading or using at all and should be avoided completely.
