The Best Sniper Rifles For Your Destiny 2 Arsenal

The Best Sniper Rifles For Your Destiny 2 Arsenal

Its seal is titled Brave, as expected, and is probably one of the most accessible seals in the entire game. It doesn't require the completion of a Legend version of Onslaught, which is difficult, especially for solo players, so most of the triumphs can be completed in normal, matchmade mode. The hardest one for more casual players is the completion of The Whisper Exotic mission, which has returned to the game and is still in a timer. Those hopping in for the first time might struggle with The Whisper's challenging platforming and non-linear pathing, coupled with the time restra

Aiding players greatly is its White Nail, an Exotic Perk that not only grants this weapon high precision damage at the base but also refills the magazine when landing three quick precision hits. As such, Whisper of the Worm becomes an incentivizing weapon for snipers who don't want to reposition often and can take advantage of its extra sh

Few maps are as iconic in terms of its middle arena as Altar of Flame. In 6v6 it's a pretty nice, linear map where the lines between the two teams are easy to identify, with three different push points available depending on how close or long-range players want to

For 3V3, it's the same principle. Teams spawn across from each other in a way that lets them easily choose the approach they want to take, with the opportunity to poke at the enemy from the sides or go in guns blazing through the middle where the large Vex pillar

In 6V6 Rusted Lands provides a playground where gameplay is guaranteed to be fast-paced. Getting to the enemy won't take forever, and the long lines of sight areas are limited by a huge abundance of cover. As such, there are countless opportunities for shotgun lovers and those who enjoy a good mid-range hand cannon du

One of the more artistically savvy of the Sniper Rifles in the game, Beloved is easily one of the best Snipers in terms of reliability and consistency. Aside from impressive impact and aim assistance, the rifle also boasts one of the fastest RPMs in the game, making for a quick-hitting Sniper Rifle perfect for skirmis

Destiny 2 gamers battle Grask in an attempt to liberate Earth from the grasp of the Taken. Virgos may be disappointed by Grask, The Consumed being a relatively middle-of-the-road boss in comparison to the oth

A fallen Servitor, The Warden is a boss incorporated into the Forsaken expansion. The enemy is stubborn and longs for inclusion in the world after being trapped in this strange glowing orb, which is reminiscent of another Bungie creation in 343 Guilty Spark from the Halo ser

Outside of the new story, locations, enemies and Gambit, most of Forsaken’s changes lie in its quality-of-life improvements. From the addition of in-game lore to random rolls for weapons and gear to an in-game accomplishment tracker, Bungie has done an excellent job bringing back popular features they nixed when jumping from Destiny 2 Replayability to Destiny 2. The good news is that all players can enjoy these improvements whether or not they own Forsaken.

Every title is prestigious in its own right, but not every title is created equal. Some titles are much harder to earn than others, whether that's due to time-gated triumphs or the activity itself being hard to excel in. Here are all of Destiny 2's titles ranked based on how hard they are to e

Capricorns are hard workers who are stubborn and far from content when they are not the top-dogs. Accordingly, Thaviks, the Depraved's inferior size and power in comparison to other bosses is compensated by his stubborn quickness and laser gun shoot

Endless Vale has a nice variety of pressure points for both sides, with three, round mini arenas in the middle. Shotgunners might struggle here as well, as mid-range and sniping reign supreme, at least for the middle and cliff-side poi

At the time of writing, Cirrus Plaza has been in the game for roughly a week, which means that it's too early to make a hyper-informative judgment on it. What is clear is that this bright, colorful, arcade and mall-themed Neomuna map looks incredible. It's also a nice respite from bigger maps like Disjunction that favor extremely long-range gameplay and might not be everyone's cup of

If there’s one problem with the Dreaming City, it’s the Blind Well. Working like the Court of Oryx and Archon Forge, players make sacrifices to draw out powerful enemies and, hopefully, earn powerful rewards. As in The Taken King, it’s an excellent idea for a mode that’s unfortunately executed poorly. As Fireteams can only hold three players outside of Crucible and Raids, who else you’ll get, if anyone else, is up to chance. It’s possible six other players with high-level gear will show up. It’s also possible for under-leveled players to hop in or even no extra players at all. The problem started with The Taken King and it’s disappointing Bungie hasn't addressed all these years later.

female_holding_a_christmas_gift-1024x683.jpgThis Destiny 2 boss is a Hive God, so it only makes sense that having such supreme power causes his pride to get the best of him at times. Nokris's uniqueness within Destiny 2 's lineup of mostly robotic bosses is also indicative of a Leo, who tend to be confident in themselves and passion
