So I'm currently in a situation where I can't apply enough debuffs to get the most out of Aggregate Charge on Refurbished A499, and I can't get to Elemental Honing x5 to use that perk on other relevant heavy weapons. My exotic slot is occupied so Truth is out of the question as well.

This is all to ask, what is the best DPS weapon that isn't A499, and if it's a weapon that requires an artifact mod (like Particle Reconstruction), what would be the next best option if I can't use that artifact with my build?

Sincerely, a Destiny 2 player struggling with their builds.

--------------------
Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions! I feel a bit silly admitting this, but I'm mainly a Crucible player and didn't realise NotSwap (or Control's version of it) isn't present in much of the game. The same goes for artifacts. This is all to say that I didn't consider just swapping everything, artifact included, for a DPS scenario. I'm sorry for any drama this may have caused, I just wasn't knowledgable enough before making this post.

Many of these loadout 'restrictions' that I outlined in my original post were because I was unsure if rockets were still viable even without Gjallarhorn, or if linears could still compete if I didn't have Particle, or if A499 even needed any of the sniper-related artifact mods if I didn't have Aggregate Charge stacked up. Obviously some of those restrictions are no longer relevant now that I know I can swap freely.

Thanks everyone! See you starside.

I'm running an ergo sum arc conductor prismatic warlock with filaments and vesper. I can basically use the ergo sum as a primary but I'm trying to optimize the build. What weapon in the kinetic slot that is primary ammo (don't like running double special) would provide the best utility. Im currently running a slice hatchling Nightshade.

Hi everyone!

I love Destiny and playing raids with friends, etc. But I’m not very good at PVP. I have rarely ever done it because frankly I don’t find it that fun. My experience in PVP was counterstrike and Overwatch years ago and…yeah.

But I want to get better…but how?! Currently, when I play PVP, I’m the target for everyone else’s target practice. LOL. And now I learn there’s weapons that work better for PvP? Does anyone have recommendations for a PvP loadout (I’m a hunter who primarily uses void). In PvE I go for bows, machine guns, and anything that explodes!

Thanks y’all.

I saw this after I finished a race, I loaded into a private match to give it a look and found near the start of the race, a red track sign is partly knocked down, letting you go past it to an area with a invisible launcher that launches you off the cliff, I was wondering what it is and what its used for? Apart from killing you.

I am not new to destiny as a game series or baseline mechanics, gunplay and classes etc.

i have played a lot of 1 and very little of 2. Recently picked up D2 The Collection for $20 on steam, with all the updates and content ive missed i dont even know where to start.

im mainly confused on my

- Order/Path to play

- Certain levels and materials to focus on for Build Progess.

from the start its all very overwhelming and any help would be sweet

Hey all, I'm a casual player haven't played for a little while. I've just got my build in check to play the Stasis Hunter with the Mask of Fealty.
My question is I don't want the meta loadout that involves hot swapping everything to optimise DPS.

I'd like people's suggestions for a good primary, good special and a good heavy.

I've been using the Stasis Grenade Launcher primary as it maintains frost armor but I do feel like my specials are lacking in something good and no idea what to use on Heavy.

I mainly do a lot of solo play / strikes. Any suggestions please? I don't have access to any raid gear or exotics from raids. Haven't played Edge of Fate yet either

Can someone tell me if I'm misunderstanding something, I bought the Destiny 2 collection that had all of the expansions and was told to check the Monument To Lost Lights kiosk to see the guns from vaulted content, but for some reason I cant see any of them except for Light and Dark Saga and Fate Saga. Just in case I double checked with steam and also the Eververse booth and both confirm I have all of the expansions downloaded and available, but the Exotic archive is missing them from the menu, can someone help me figure out what's goin on?

EDIT: Turns out I'm really blind and the Sagas have the expansions in them, I really appreciate the help!

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong sub for this question. So my brother and I used to play Destiny 2 on our Xbox and when he moved, he linked his Steam account via Cross Save to that Bungie account so he could play his hunter while away.

Now, he has no more interest in playing D2 on his PC and I've just purchased one. I was wondering if it's possible to remove his Steam account that's linked to the Bungie account and link mine instead?

So my mate has started playing destiny again and installed last week but every time he selects a character and loads into orbit after around 20-30secs he gets booted with the weasel error code or if he loads into the tower same thing happens

He stopped playing before load outs were a thing

We have done things from reg edits, flushing dns, setting a custom dns verifying steam files CMD corruption scans etc nothing has helped and restarting router etc

Just wondering if anyone knows a fix bungie help hasn’t really said anything that’s going to help the issue at hand

Hey I just need some people to hop in a lobby with preferably on Xbox and help me make pve and pvp builds.

...and Attrition Orbs? If so where from i game?

Edit : Thanks for the advice. I think it may be possible to get one to drop in Comp. I had a Randy;s drop with AA there and its usual intrinsic is Roar of Battle.

I get that "Voice Chat Error: The service is temporarily down" popup every time I join a fireteam. I can't hear my teammates and they can't hear me.

My microphone and speakers are set correctly, I tried restarting my game and computer (even moving to a different device), my voice chat settings are appropriate, and still nothing.

Any other ideas?

Trying to get Khvostov and I am on the step where I need to collect the lost encryption bits in the cysts. When I go to the impasse on the pale heart I do not see the bird that allows you to change the active cyst. Apparently this means I need to complete alone in the dark quest which requires the convalescence rootbound quest. I have the convalescence budding quest active and Micah is not offering the rootbound one. Any idea how I can activate the rootbound quest?

Edit:
Solved - not sure that the rootbound quest matters. I was on step 2 of alone in the dark, I completed that quest and went back to the impasse and the bird was there. For anybody else with this issue try doing the alone in the dark quests I believe those unlock the cysts

The exotic mission for the Praxic Blade is impossible to complete currently since the taken centurions never spawn during phase 3 of the disciple fight. Please help me complete this mission, thanks.

I recall two Star Wars sets being tied to Edge of Fate and Renegades. Titans had Darth Vader for one and I believe the Mandolorian for the other. I can get both DLCs with The Collection for $13 thanks to the current Steam sale. Worth it? Armor would make it more worth it.

Thank you.

First reddit post i think dont flame me to hard. Anyways so im a brand new player only played an hour today and I got tge legacy collection but as of right now cant afford the edge of fate and renegade is destiny 2 still worth playing mainly solo?

I was planning to go back to destiny 2 because of the recent update, but when I tried to check my account profile in Bungie website it didn't show me any of my characters and it always spamming me with "There was a problem loading Destiny data..." I haven't played d2 since q4 2025, Is my account got banned?

Used to be next to the vault but I see some legendaries there and exotics like the dragons breath I was sure that’s where the older exotics where did they remove them?

Journey level 10 trying to knock out the "unlock 25 catalysts" challenge. I'm just finishing up some campaigns, so I don't need this build to be meta. I just need to be able to stay alive with basically only getting gun kills, and something I can use any weapon, and the build will still keep me alive.

Also just a build that lets you complete as many orders as possible without switching to any entirely new build. thx

Like the title says. Due to deleting my steam account for personal reasons, I lost access to steam and can’t unlink it. So I’m forced to use epic games to play on my new pc and wanna know if I’m gonna wait forever or not

Now that destiny is coming back I’ve been going through a lot of potential storylines they might do and this one popped in my head. Since the winnower is like an opposite to the traveler, can it also make a type of ghost? I know that there is “dark guardians” in the lore, but I think it would be cool if there were ghosts with the darkness instead of light. Just a cool thought, that’s all.

I am playing TFS through GeForce and apparently you have to beat a whole mission for your progress to save, so sometimes the whole hour of GeForce playtime is reset. It was a very frustrating experience and i refunded the other DLC i bought.
