Destiny 2’sRevenant episode is shaking things up for the seasonal grind.
Get your hands on Ice Breaker, Bygones, Chroma Rush, and more in Episode: Revenant.
The good news is that these weapons are so powerful that they’re worth the added RNG.
Let’s dive into the best perks it’s possible for you to find on Revenant’s seasonal weapons.
This has clear synergy withBait and Switchfor a constant 35% damage buff once you swap to this weapon.
Use this weapon correctly, and youneverhave to reload.
attempt to increase Bitter/Sweet’s handling stat.
It makes hotswapping weapons much more consistent.
It’s not quite as strong as using Bait and Switch, but it’s not a bad option.
If you need a good PvP Grenade Launcher, focus Typhon GL5 from Banshee-44 or farm for Wendigo.
There’s nothing here for Crucible players.
44 from Forsaken and outclassing most 120 Hand Cannons.
In PvE, this gun’s claim to fame is similar to Eyasluna.
It’s a solid combination that excels in low-stakes PvE content.
If you want a more generic workhorse Primary, you’re able to’t go wrong withTriple TapandFrenzy.
Buff the gun’s handling and range stats, and you’ll have a Stasis variant of Igneous Hammer.
Exuviae also has great Airborne Effectiveness stats if you want to fight in the air.
The main draw here isAuto-Loading Holsterpaired with a damage perkeitherExplosive Lightfor upfront damage orBipodfor higher total damage.
Fire a rocket, slide to load another round, and repeat.
Just be courteous to fellow Guardians while using Slideshot.
Don’t slide inside aWell of Radiancewith this thing.
Strangely, this gun can rollQuickdrawinbothtrait columns.
It’s unclear if this is intended.
Insurmountable
We don’t get many Precision Frame Sidearms in Destiny 2 these days.
The last one we got was Boudica-C back in Season of the Plunder.
Insurmountable is our first new 260 RPM Sidearm since Lonesome.
It can’t get Kill Clip, but it has something close:Harmony.
Get a kill with your other weapon, then swap to Insurmountable for a ludicrous 0.47s TTK.
you’re able to then throw onAir Triggerto greatly buff the gun’s mid-air accuracy.
Throw onSteady Roundsand Icarus Grip to make this gun a PvP beast.
you’re able to pair this withOne for AllorSurroundedfor a sizable damage buffwe suggest One for All.
We find it lackluster in most high-end PvE content, but it’s an option.
This archetype is used exclusively for DPS hotswap loadouts to squeeze out a little more damage in your rotation.
Does that overshadow Wild Style and a good Kinetic Special?
Probably not, but the loadout flexibility is reason enough to get Liturgy.
Rimestealerpairs well withChill Clipif you want to improve your build’s survivability.
It’s arguably a better perk than Voltshot in harder content since it doesn’t have a kill requirement.
you could pair this withLoose Changefor a constant reload speed boost, making this gun a powerful PvE workhorse.
It’s a 200 RPM Stasis Scout Rifle with solid perks, notablyRimestealerandHeadstone.
Land precision kills to spawn crystals, then shatter those crystals to give yourself Frost Armor.
Beyond that, you’re looking at classic combinations likeDemolitionistwithOne for AllorExplosive Payload.Mediocre describes it best.
Scavenger’s Fate
Hey, it’s Dust Rock Blues in a trench coat.
Scavenger’s Fate is functionally identical to the Forsaken classic, although its stat package is marginally worse.
If you’re tired of using Matador, this gun might be a solid replacement.
Throw onSlideshotfor a second range boost, and you have a great Shotgun.
Barrel Shroud
Slideshot
Closing Time
Sovereignty
Sovereignty is off to a bad start.
Even seasonal guns like Locus Locutus and Embraced Identity perform better.
Put another way, it’s Box Breathing’s Void cousin.
It pairs well with virtually any perk in the third column: dealer’s choice.
Sniper mains shouldn’t ignore this gun in PvP either.
It also acts as a stronger version ofSnapshot Sightswhile active.
Anything in the second trait column will pair nicely.
Vantage Pointcanexcel in the Crucible if you give it enough support.
That’s achievable withMask of Bakris,Sanguine Alchemy,Eternal Warrior, or your everyday leg mods.
Vantage Point can then pair the lethality boost withDesperadofor a quick 0.5s TTK orHeadseekerfor more consistency.
