In this segment, the video focuses on the best solar weapons for dominating PvE in the current meta. The emphasis is on solar builds due to their synergy with radiant and restoration abilities. The creator highlights key solar weapons across various classes.
For submachine guns (SMGs), the callous mini tool and bugout bag are praised, especially if they have the incandescent perk. Hand cannons like Z’s Bane are recommended, with explosive payload and incandescent being ideal traits. Bows such as the new seasonal bow, the prosta annex, and the Vanguard’s strident whistle are mentioned, with the prosta annex’s Archer Tempo and incandescent being particularly valuable. The segment concludes with a brief mention of auto rifles, hinting at further discussion on specific choices.

In this part of the video, the focus is on recommended solar weapons and their best configurations for optimal gameplay. The speaker starts by mentioning heel clip and its limited value in solar subclasses, which can achieve restoration or cure through other means. For scout rifles, the Staccato-46 is suggested, frequently sold by Banshee. For pulse rifles, the Jurassic Green, obtained from the Festival of the Lost event, is highlighted for its incandescence and subsistence perks, with the Battler from Dares of Eternity also being a strong option due to its craftable enhancements. Sidearms such as the Drang and the new heliocentric QSC from Season of the Witch are recommended for fans of that weapon type.
The segment then transitions to solar special weapons, noting the less ideal glaives and recommending the Judgment of Kelgorath and Lubrae’s Ruin. For sniper rifles, the Eologos Version 3 with four times the charm and focused fury is singled out as a top choice, especially with its upcoming 15% PVE buff. Trace rifles like the Retraced Path and Acasia’s Dejection with suitable perks are discussed, although the speaker advises against using incandescent on trace rifles due to their ammo consumption.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various Legendary special weapons and their optimal rolls for gameplay.
For grenade launchers, the “Explosive Personality” is mentioned, with a preference for perks like auto-loading holster and frenzy, and suggests “Empty Vessel” from Vanguard for solid performance with perks like spike grenades and vorpal weapon.
For shotguns, the “EOS Version 3” is recommended despite its lack of good reload perks in the third column; it has strong fourth column options like trench barrel and one-two punch.
Fusion rifles discussed include the “Cartesian Coordinate” with an optimal roll sold by Banshee, and the “Aramite,” a craftable high-impact frame from the current season. The preferred setup includes envious assassin and controlled burst for sustained DPS.
Finally, the segment touches on solar heavy machine guns, highlighting “Unwavering Duty” from Trials with perks such as subsistence or auto-loading holster, and incandescent in the fourth column.
00:09:00
In this segment, the speaker passionately advocates for the “Fixed Odds” weapon, highlighting its high impact and enhanced incandescent perks, and its availability from the Duality dungeon. They express a personal preference for this gun over others like “Unwilling Duty,” despite the latter’s commendable loading holsters. The discussion then shifts to the “Apex Predator” rocket launcher from the Last Wish raid, praising its combination of reconstruction and bait and switch perks. Also mentioned is the “Caretaker” sword, noted for its weaker impact but effective perks like Relentless Strikes and Surrounded. Briefly, the speaker acknowledges the challenges with grenade launchers, favoring rocket launchers due to their superior performance. Finally, they give a nod to the solar grenade launcher “Marshall and SE” for its decent perks but note it’s not as powerful as others like the “Cataclysmic Frag Strand.”

In this segment, the video discusses the Cataclysmic, a top-tier solar linear fusion rifle particularly effective in certain high-level Destiny 2 activities, like the Ghost of the Deep dungeon. Despite a general decline in the effectiveness of linear fusion rifles due to recent meta changes, the Cataclysmic remains valuable due to its ammo efficiency and the ability to fire up to 10 consecutive shots with the “four times the charm” perk. The video advises that the Cataclysmic can be obtained from the Vow of the Disciple raid and praises its utility, despite nerfs.
