Destiny 2’slatest episode, Heresy, has brought dozens of new weapons to the sandbox.
From Palindrome to Fatebringer, here is every new and returning weapon in Episode: Heresy.
There are some absurdly good weapons added to playlist content this season that you won’t want to miss.
The damage perk you choose in PvE will mostly boil down to preference.
For that, useDemoralizeor Withering Gaze.
Pair it withLone Wolfto improve the weapon’s sluggish handling.
But that’s to be expected; this weapon comes from a ritual activity,not a raid.
Crucible players are mostly stuck usingReplenishing AegisandUnstoppable Forcefor some solid neutral game buffs, nothing particularly unique to Backfang.
For PvE, stick with Jolting Feedback.
Haft
Auxiliary Reserves
Accurized Rounds
Replenishing Aegis
Jolting Feedback
Shield Duration
Unstoppable Force
Boondoggle Mk.
Boondoggle should be treated as a typical 720 RPM SMG, nothing more.
Cruoris is one of a select few Fusion Rifles to roll withDiscord, refunding ammo on kill while active.
Consider using this alongside on-kill perks like Barrel Constrictor or Successful Warm-Up in PvP.
PvE players are likely to use Fusion Rifles as backup DPS or for major slaying.
This stacks up to a whopping 35% damage buff if your build uses five unique damage types.
You only need to inflict four unique damage types for Prismatic Honing to match Bait and Switch.
That’s easier said than done, but multi-element Exoticsand Prismaticmake this feasible for hardcore PvE players.
Throw onEnvious Arsenalto bypass reloads, and you have a monstrous PvE DPS weapon for raids and dungeons.
You could also runSlideshotwithMagnificent Howlfor a potential infinite damage buff, although it’s somewhat impractical in use.
Calling this gun stacked would be a serious understatement.
Keen Thistle can get both roll combinations, so pick your favorite.
And if you hate Supers, this is the only Sniper archetype that can one-tap any Super withVorpal Weapon.
Alternatively, you may opt forRepulsor BraceandDestabilizing Roundsfor constant Volatile explosions and Overshield uptime.
You might opt for more damage instead, but that is generally overkill for the vast majority of content.
It’s far from bad, just not meta.
Qua Furor V
Mediocre describes Qua Furor V best.
There aren’t any notable perk synergies worth chasing here.
Unless this archetype gets changed, expect Redrix’s Estoc to dominate the PvP sandbox for the foreseeable future.
The chain lightning from Jolt will make this a perfect weapon for double Special loadouts and general add clear.
Throw onRewind Roundsto minimize your time spent reloading.
Rewind Rounds
Farming Iron Banner?
Keep your eyes peeled for these rolls.
