reviews the top 16 legendary weapons in Destiny 2 that will remain strong in the upcoming Edge of Fate expansion, even if they do not receive new damage buffs. It provides recommended rolls and how to acquire each weapon, focusing on legendary options only.
Meta Legendary Weapons for Edge of Fate
Using new weapons in Edge of Fate grants a damage buff, but some current weapons are so strong they will remain meta.
The list excludes exotic weapons and features only legendaries for brevity.
For many weapons, specific perk combinations (rolls) are crucial for maximum effectiveness.
Weapon List and Recommendations
#16 VS Chill Inhibitor: Strong DPS grenade launcher; recommended roll: Envious Arsenal & Bait and Switch. Easy to get from Banshee after completing the Vesper's Host dungeon.
#15 Corrective Measure: Top machine gun with Destabilizing Rounds & One for All. Obtainable and craftable from Vault of Glass raid.
#14 Any One-Two Punch Shotgun: Used for melee DPS builds; changes are coming to melee scaling but still recommended. Sudden Death (from Prophecy dungeon) is a good craftable option.
#13 The Call: Rocket frame sidearm (Strand); look for Lead from Gold + One For All or Vorpal Weapon. Obtain via Pale Heart with Deep Sight weapon focusing.

#1 Unloved: Strand hand cannon; very strong PvE primary weapon. Best perks: Hatchling + Frenzy or Dragonfly + Frenzy. Obtainable from Sunder Doctrine dungeon.
Acquisition and Availability Notes
Some weapons are easily obtained for free at the Gunsmith/Banshee due to recent Bungie actions (e.g., Multimok, VS Chill Inhibitor).
Certain weapons are temporarily unavailable until future events (e.g., Tanasha’s Mastery from Iron Banner).
Focused loot from vendors (Zavala, Failsafe) or dungeon/raid completions are primary acquisition methods.
Recommendations / Advice
Prioritize farming or crafting these weapons before Edge of Fate launches.
Use Deep Sight Harmonizers wisely—save them for top-tier weapons like Hezen's Vengeance.
Check vendor inventories and upcoming weapon rotations (e.g., Nightfall weeks) for farming opportunities.
Act swiftly to claim any free god roll weapons currently available at Banshee.
Adjust perk choices based on your build and preferred playstyle within the evolving sandbox.

Legendary Weapons in Destiny 2
howdy y'all i'll cut to the chase even though using new weapons in Destiny 2 in the Edge of Fate will give you a damage buff there are still some weapons that exist in the game right now that are so good they'll still be meta in the Edge of Fate even without getting a damage buff today we're going to go over my entire list of what those weapons are and how to get them take note though this list will only cover legendary weapons because adding in exotic weapons would make the video way too long however if you want another video for exotics only be sure to leave a comment down below and let me know okay we got 16 weapons in total here we go number 16 the VS Chill Inhibitor should be no surprise that this weapon is on the list because one it is a strong DPS weapon and two it's insanely easy to get the Chill Inhibitor is a rapid fire frame grenade launcher and the role you're looking for is what else envious arsenal and bait and switch dealing damage with both your other weapons before taking out the inhibitor will both auto refill the mag from reserves and set you up to activate bait and switch after your first shot which will make the rest of your shots all do an extra 30% more damage if we get a new grenade launcher in the Edge of Fate that can drop with the same roll then obviously use that launcher instead to get the additional 10% damage buff for using a new weapon in the new season that will soon be a thing but if we don't get a new GL with that roll chill inhibitor will remain an awesome damage dealing option remember that if you have fully completed the Vesper's host dungeon just one time you can actually just go to Banshee at the tower and pick up a free chill inhibitor with this exact role it's basically a gift from Bungie after the whole weightgate fiasco that happened a while back but yeah TLDDR do the dungeon one time go to Banshee and get the god roll do it number 15 corrective measure there's a lot of pretty damn good machine guns in D2 right now but if I had to pick just one to recommend to other players it would probably be corrective measure it has a lot of fun perk options on the table but it's the only machine gun in the game capable of rolling both destabilizing rounds and one for all together making it able to blow through entire rooms of people with little to no trouble the time lost magazine origin trait is also incredibly good more super energy for free and then after you use your super you double your mag size gg remember it's okay to use heavy weapons for AD clear because you can just change to a DPS loadout when you reach a boss not to mention some DPS loadouts straight up have you using special weapons to begin with you can get the corrective measure by doing the Vault of Glass raid and remember it's also craftable something to keep in mind for your Deep Side Harmonizers although don't use them until you've watched the whole video because there are other weapons you could use them on too number 14 any one two punch shotgun i'm keeping this one kind of broad to make sure your farming is a little bit easier if you've been away from D2 for a really long time or you're out of the loop one-two punch shotguns are used in a unique very fun DPS strategy where you activate the perk one two punch and then literally just beat the be Jesus out of a boss it is important to know though that Bungie did release a twid not too long ago that mentioned how melee damage buffs are getting reworked in the edge of eight they are now going to be additive instead of multiplicative translation they're tweaking a bunch of things so players in theory won't be able to omega nuke a boss with insane over-the-top melee builds that being said though even with these changes one two punching will still likely be a thing to some degree in the Edge of Fate so you probably want to have at least one good option to do that there are many craftable shotguns you can get capable of rolling this perk i'd say just make sure you have at least one of the following weapons if you have absolutely none though you can easily go get a sudden death shotgun from farming the first boss encounter of the prophecy dungeon that shotgun can roll with one two punch and trench barrel which is what I would say you should be on the lookout to get number 13 the call spoiler alert there will be many rocket frame sidearms on today's list as if you didn't already know because without a heavy nerf they will remain incredibly good in basically every PvE activity they've got good damage output and great ammo economy to the point where you can pretty much use them as a primary weapon the call is your strandflavored rocket frame sidearm and the role most players gravitate towards is led from gold in column 3 and either one-forall or vorpal weapon in column 4 one forall is a great perk that I'm a big fan of but if you find it too micromanagy to use you could always just run with vorpal for a head empty way to deal an extra 15% damage to bosses and mini bosses to get the call head to your ghost over in the pale heart and remember as long as you have the deep sight weapon focusing upgrade purchased then every reset your first selected weapon will be a guaranteed deep sight that should help you get your crafted version of the call faster number 12 Praith's Revenge yet another Vault of Glass weapon makes today's list praith is a sick weapon that falls under the category of backup DPS if you don't know what that means then okay hypothetical scenario you've entered a DPS phase for a dungeon or a raid but you're about to run out of ammo with your main damage dealing heavy weapon you need backup DPS with Praith being a strong option with either bait and switch or elemental honing you can continue to dish out respectable damage even after you've run out of heavy ammo bait and switch is good but remember you do need some heavy ammo left to activate bait and switch on Praith so that role will only help you if you literally finish the mag on your heavy weapon then swap to Praith and start shooting right away elemental honing though can be taken advantage of even if you've run out of heavy ammo completely it's a little bit weirder of a perk to proc but kinetic weapons get a good damage buff from it you only need to hit a target with three different elements in a 20-se secondond window to get the same damage buff that you would with bait and switch aka 30% in theory you can get up to a maximum of 40% extra damage with elemental honing but that's a bit harder and requires a little extra build crafting a great perk for Praith though no matter what for column 3 you could go with Envious Arsenal if you want but it would probably just be easier to go with fourth times the charm for auto refunded ammo just be sure to hit your shots obviously to get one just go ahead and finish up your crafting pattern in the Vault of Glass raid go get one today and you know what else you should grab today a Star Forge PC sponsor of today's video totally nailed it star Forge's customuilt gaming PCs are excellent they're delivered quickly and best of all they come with a 2-year warranty are you a gamer on a budget no problem they have a wide variety of gaming PCs in different price ranges so you can look for the PC that suits your needs and budget the most not to mention they have some of the sickest cases and plate lights in the business that Freerin case good lord anyway there's actually a summer sale going on right now where you can take off up to $200 on PCs sitewide don't wait treat yourself to a brand new beast of a gaming machine hit up my link in the pinned comment to check them out thank you Star Forge all right number 11 indebted Kindness yep another rocket sidearm i told you there would be more indebted Kindness is the arcflavored rocket sidearm and like the others it's very good the perks you should probably aim to get are led from gold in column 3 for better ammo management and Voltshot in column 4 to spread around a jolt which is always fun and great for crowd control indebted Kindness is only mildly annoying to get it's from the Warlords Ruin dungeon but you can get it from farming the first encounter which isn't really that hard number 10 VS Velocity Baton the baton is an area denial frame grenade launcher and if you haven't played D2 in a long while and you don't know what that means it is basically a legendary wither horde the baton is great in PvE and the role I'm going to recommend is often referred to as quote the orb printer by the D2 community at large demolitionist in column 3 and attrition orbs in column 4 demolitionist just because it is a strong PvE perk in general but attrition orbs will allow you to use the baton to truly make a lot of orbs of power for your fire team pair together with a void siphon armor mod on your helmet and your team will literally be tripping over orbs of power in any adri activity you go into to get the baton you got to farm the Vesper's host dungeon it will not be as easy as getting the VS Chill inhibitor which as we mentioned earlier you can just go get at the gunsmith after beating the dungeon you can farm the first encounter of the dungeon which last time I checked you can still use the whole out-of- bounds farming method thing I made a video on way back when or you can just farm the encounter normally your choice number nine the scatter signal a rapid fire frame strand fusion rifle the scatter signal can be used either for backup DPS against a close-range boss or just deal heavy damage to beefy orange or yellow bars at your discretion the role most folks go for is overflow in column 3 and controlled burst in column 4 activating overflow means you can fire your fusion rifle longer before eventually needing to reload and controlled burst gives you a handy 20% damage output buff for a brief duration overall a very reliable weapon because scatter signal was a weapon introduced in Season of the Wish if you don't have one right now then the only way you can get one is by doing the Starcross exotic mission no the gun is not an exotic but you can't really run Season of the Wish activities anymore so yeah Starcross Exotic Mission it is good luck with that and hope you finish the crafting pattern gg number eight Multimok CCX the Multimok is a relatively old weapon at this point but it's still pretty good and one of the better primary weapons in the sandbox in D2 in the event that you're not rocking a double special loadout the role that the vast majority of players look for is attrition orbs in column 3 and kinetic tremors in column 4 with those two perks together you can generate kinetic tremors and generate a lot of orbs of power for your team i'm actually really looking forward to using this multimock roll together with the new armor in Edge of Fate that has the tech armor set bonus if you remember from my video featuring pre-release Edge of Fate footage I was allowed to record at Bungie makes it so that you can release a disorienting kinetic shockwave seems like it would be a really fun pairing okay I have bad news and great news about getting the multimok the bad news is it dropped from Iron Banner and there are no more Iron Banner events between now and the Edge of Fate but the great news though is remember earlier I mentioned that Bungie gave the gunsmith a few god rolls to flat out give away to people for free due to the whole weightgate fiasco well one of those is a multimok with attrition orbs and kinetic tremors i kind of doubt it'll be available after the edge of fate so if you haven't gotten it yet for whatever reason stop what you're doing go to Banshee right now and get your free god roll number seven apparent action yeah we're not quite done yet with uh rocket frame sidearms boys so get ready for more anyway Aarent action is our solar flavored rocket sidearm which was originally released during episode echoes you can definitely roll with strategist or ambitious assassin in column 3 if you want but the role that almost everybody goes for is heal clip and incandescent that way you get a little bit of extra survivability paired together with better crowd control all on a handy hard-hitting rocket sidearm the aarent action can be acquired by doing episode eko's content and you can also go talk to fail safe at the helm and directly focus the weapon through her and on that note number six lost signal outside of apparent action many of the other episode echo weapons are extremely forgettable but one you definitely should go get is the lost signal grenade launcher like the VS velocity baton it's an area denial frame launcher so just spit hot fire all over the floor gg easy crowd control go ahead and take your pick between either lead from gold and autoloading holster in column 3 and demolitionist or vorpal weapon in column 4 either combo you take should be fine but gun to my head I'm going with autoloading holster and vorpal weapon i'm just a big fan of the set it and forget it auto reload vibe again you can get the lost signal by doing episode echo's content and you can go focus them directly from fail safe at the helm number five rake angle we've got some info not too long ago about how glaes are finally going to get damage increases from things like synthesis knockout and so on in the edge of fate that all sounds pretty awesome to me and I think if you get one glaive right now it should probably be the rake angle i'd say you can take your pick between overflow or led from gold in the left column and pair that together with either close to melee if you're looking for a more melee heavy build or chill clip in the right column i should point out that ChillClip is getting a little bit of an indirect nerf in the edge of fate as mentioned in the most recent twid frozen enemies shattering via stasis is no longer going to stun unstoppable champions starting in July this does hurt the viability of chillclipip a little bit meaning it can only deal with overload champions now I think it'll still be a rockolid perk moving forward though so gun to my head I'm going to go with overflow and chill clip for the rake angle unfortunately it doesn't look like rake angle will be a featured Nightfall reward weapon between now and the edge of fate thankfully you can always go to commander Zavala at the tower and focus one directly from him number four he's vengeance i feel like I don't really need to explain myself a lot here but for those who might be out of the loop for a long while he's basically a god tier DPS machine if you're confident in abusing elemental honing you can go for that but the combo that 99.999999% of players go to for uncomplicated straightforward DPS is envious arsenal and bait and switch what else oh and uh don't forget impact casing in column 2 easin is very straightforward to get just run the vault of glass raid and be sure to grab the quest thing from Hawthorne for a guaranteed deep side drop on completion and then finish the crafting pattern if you have a bunch of deep side harmonizers definitely use them on the heen before any other craftable weapon i would say it really is that good number three Tanasha's Mastery almost done with the rocket frame sidearms and the list would of course not be complete without Tanasha this is our stasis flavored rocket sidearm and even though it has a lot of interesting perk options available in column 4 the heavy favorite is Chill Clip remember a while back when PvE players far and wide were basically glazing the Riptide for being a great utility weapon and one of the best users of Chill Clip in the game well Riptide caught a nerf from Bungie and Tanasha became the new Chill Clip user on the block again Bungie did just nerf the overall viability of ChillClip as moving forward it'll only be able to handle overload champions not overload and unstoppable however a chill clip will still be a great utility perk overall and B sidearms are getting an unstoppable champion mod in the Edge of Fate anyway meaning Tanasha for the next half year will still be able to deal with unstoppable champions and like the multimach it kind of pains me to say this but Tanasha is only available in Iron Banner and as of right now there is literally no more Iron Banner until September so if you don't have a Chill Clip Tanasha laying around in your vault you're kind of out of luck and hey before you get mad at me for not getting today's video out sooner I did put out a YouTube short telling people to grab Tanasha during the final Iron Banner event before Edge of Fate if you didn't see that short I am sorry but that is also why we ring the goddamn bell around these parts so hit it to avoid future catastrophes like this okay how about a rocket sidearm you can still actually get number two Lotus Eater our final rocket sidearm to go over today is Lotus Eater our void flavored option and my personal favorite out of all the rocket sidearms like the other sidearms it hits hard has great ammo economy and that is why people use rocket sidearms a ton in the current meta lotus Eater has a few great options like One for All Withering Gaze and Shoot to Loot but I really love the tried andrue role of repulsor brace and destabilizing rounds that offers you really good ad clear and a little extra survivability it's a fantastic roll on a great gun that I've used a lot ever since I got it and I recommend it highly the Lotus Eater is a weapon in the Vanguard loot pool meaning it's actually focusable via Commander Zavala at the tower or if you want to run Nightfalls the week of July 1st bungie has given us the heads up that it will be the featured weapon that week meaning hey you can go farm for an adept role if you wish number one unloved with the exception of the multimok you might have noticed that every weapon on today's list has either been a heavy or special ammo weapon that is until now unloved is a strand hand cannon and arguably one of the best primary ammo PVE weapons in the D2 sandbox right now it's a heavy burst hand cannon so it hits hard and it also has some quality weapon perks available the cherry on top for unloved though comes from the origin trait subjugation your weapon adapts to targets when dealing damage to a weak target shots explode when dealing damage to a strong target the target becomes exhausted aka they deal reduced outgoing damage in short we have a very good origin trait that makes an already solid gun extra great not to mention that we know the artifact in the edge of fate will be relatively strand heavy so yeah roll-wise go for either hatchling and frenzy or dragonfly and frenzy both are good you can get the unloved hand cannon by running the Sunder Doctrine dungeon might I recommend farming the Shrier encounter to try to get a good roll and that's it if you want me to do a follow-up video on the best exotics to have between now and the Edge of Fate let me know down in the comment section thank you very much for watching peace
