Destiny 2 has a huge selection of more than 160 weapons that players can make themselves. Some of these guns are strong and work well in many fighting situations.
In this article, we’ll look at the 10 best weapons you can craft in the Final Shape event. We’ll discuss what makes each gun special and their cool abilities.
11. Outbreak Perfected
Type: Kinetic Pulse Rifle (Exotic)
Perks: Rewind Rounds
Outbreak Perfected is immensely powerful due to its unique mechanic where precision kills or sustained damage spawn nanites that attach to enemies, increasing damage over time.
Its new craftable perk “Rewind Rounds” further extends its mag size from 44 to around 80 shots. This weapon synergizes exceptionally well with teammates also using Outbreak Perfected, enabling rapid takedown of high-health targets.
2. Whisper of the Worm
Type: Heavy Ammo Sniper Rifle (Exotic)
Perks: Whispered Breathing, Field Prep
Whisper of the Worm excels with its ability to theoretically never reload, thanks to landing three precision shots that refill the magazine from reserves and generate one ammo out of thin air.
Its catalyst, Whispered Breathing, provides a damage buff when aiming down sights for a few seconds. Field Prep further enhances the weapon by increasing the reserve ammo and reducing reload time when crouched.
The weapon’s compatibility with current artifacts enhancing sniper and solar weapons makes it a top choice for long damage phases.
Whisper of the Worm is perfect for sustained DPS due to its unique ammo regeneration and catalyst perks, making it invaluable for extended boss fights.
3. Choir of One
Type: Special Ammo Exotic Auto Rifle
Perks: Subsistence, Destabilizing Rounds, Onslaught
Choir of One is incredibly versatile, functioning as a powerful Auto Rifle when aimed down sights and transforming into a high-damage void attack when hip-fired.
Although it’s slated for nerfing, its current state allows for incredible damage outputs, particularly against Champions and bosses.
You can improve this rifle with catalysts providing “Subsistence,” “Destabilizing Rounds,” or “Onslaught.”
Choir of One remains a top-tier choice for players seeking a reliable exotic auto rifle with diverse utility and exceptional damage output.
4. Aberrant Action
Type: Solar Rocket Sidearm
Perks: Incandescent, Heal Clip
Similar to The Call, Aberrant Action is another outstanding craftable sidearm, bragging solar perks like “Incandescent” for spreading Scorch and “Heal Clip” for self and ally healing upon kill and reload.
This weapon is primarily used for solar builds, and acquiring it is straightforward through the Episode Echo’s seasonal storyline. Its ability to complement other powerful solar weapons enhances its value.
5. Zaouli’s Bane
Type: 140 Hand Cannon
Perks: Incandescent, Explosive Payload
Zaouli’s Bane functions as a craftable, legendary alternative to Sunshot, featuring perks like “Incandescent” for scorch effects and “Explosive Payload” for minor damage boosts.
The weapon’s practicality in retaining ammo through an origin trait that overfills the magazine when reloading near teammates makes it an ideal choice for team-based activities.
While getting it requires running the King’s Fall raid, it remains an accessible and powerful hand cannon.
6. Apex Predator
Type: Solar Rocket Launcher
Perks: Reconstruction, Bait and Switch
This rocket launcher stands out for its no-reload mechanics thanks to the “Reconstruction” perk, which automatically refills the magazine up to double capacity.
It also features “Bait and Switch,” one of the highest damage buffs, which activates upon dealing damage with all three weapons.
Its remarkable damage output in a short amount of time makes it a must-have, especially obtainable through The Last Wish raid.
7. Non-Denouement
Type: Legendary Bow
Perks: Voltshot, Dragonfly
Renowned for its ad-clear capabilities, Non-Denouement is the only bow to feature the “Voltshot” perk, which applies jolt and chain lightning between enemies upon kills.
This weapon also boasts a “Dragonfly” for further area-of-effect damage.
The combination of these perks makes Non-Denouement unmatched for clearing groups of enemies and dealing with Overload Champions.
8. Pro Memoria
Type: Strand Machine Gun
Perks: Reconstruction, Bait and Switch, Target Lock
Pro Memoria is a new player favorite, offering “Reconstruction” for increased ammo capacity and damage perks like “Bait and Switch” or “Target Lock.”
It also has utility perks such as “Hatchling” and “Demolitionist,” making it adaptable for various builds.
Its ease of acquisition and immense power make it a competitor to other high-tier machine guns like Commemoration.
9. The Call
Type: Strand Rocket Sidearm
Perks: Lead from Gold, Demolitionist, Subsistence
This sidearm is gifted to players early in the “Final Shape” expansion and can be crafted with a variety of excellent perks, including “Lead from Gold,” “Demolitionist,” and “Subsistence.”
Its perks can be tailored to virtually any build, featuring roles like “Vorpal Weapon,” “Hatchling,” and “One for All.” The Dealer’s Choice origin trait further boosts its utility by granting extra Super energy with every kill.
The Call’s flexibility in perk options makes it a solid sidearm for various combat roles, providing consistent performance whether in solo or team activities.
10. Wastelander M5
Type: Kinetic Shotgun
Perks: One-Two Punch, Lead from Gold
The Wastelander shotgun is particularly effective in one-two-punch builds. When you shoot, you get a melee buff thanks to its kinetic nature, which slightly boosts its damage over elemental shotguns.
Its lightweight frame allows for faster movement. Notably, it features the “Lead from Gold” perk to ensure you always have ammo at your disposal.
Though similar to the non-craftable Perfect Paradox, the Wastelander stands out with its craftable enhanced perks and accessibility through activities like Dares of Eternity.
The Wastelander kinetic shotgun is optimized for close quarters, especially excelling in one-two punch builds. Its kinetic nature provides a slight damage boost, making it a versatile choice for PVE and high-level activities.
These ten weapons you can make show off the many choices and ways to change your gear in Destiny 2’s “Final Shape” update.
No matter if you like close-range guns, small pistols, long-range rifles, or fast-firing guns, you’ll find a weapon that fits how you like to play and how you set up your character.
