This video features 12 INSANELY underrated weapons that can dominate Destiny 2 PvP. These weapons aren't very mainstream and stand out from the usual meta, but they're still really powerful and have a lot of potential in the Crucible... It blows my mind that some of these weapons are so overlooked in the current sandbox.

I would add symmetry, fighting lion, devils ruin, forward path to this list
the forward path is better than the scathelocke for consistency (tap the trigger + dynamic sway). It can also reach up to 40 meters depending on the scope. Scathelocke has rampage though which is amazing with surplus and actium war rig
@@tyranitarxd2819 I'd disagree, I think Scathelocke is miles better
@@ShadowDestiny nah
What have you done?
12. Tommy's matchbook

7. Scathelocke
6. Annual skate
5. Timeline's vertex
4. Burst sidearms (vision)
3. Retraced path
2. Sacred provenance
1. Tarrabah
I love the Cerberus. It destroys anyone using a shield or rift, and if you're running auto rifle targeting, you barely need to aim. The flinch it gives is also really hard to fight through
Yeah but the range is terrible. Great on certain maps for sure
@@ShepardRockstar Only with the alternative firing mode
Ive been running that gun for the past couple of days. I've been beating the hell out of smg's and I feel evil
@@ShepardRockstar it's got inverse damage falloff 😉
As an AVID Soujourner's main myself, I gotta say that Threat Detector/Opening is more effective than Moving Target/Opening. It basically replaces everything that Quickdraw was, and shoots so far with range that my close friend group tends to get REAL upset due to just how far it shoots.
I've started farming for it recently due to needing a slug to main with Eyasluna, so far the best roll I've got is corkscrew light mag / threat detector / opening w range mw. I really wanna have one with assault mag on it tho
haha yeah personally I agree! I just wanted to highlight how it can still reach a high AA value
@@ShadowDestiny oh, of course, I was simply stating my preference. I personally find range to be more effective than AA on slugs, as you're more or less going for that headshot. Of course, more AA never hurts.
Yeah I got an amazing roll on that thing but the sight is disgusting.
I've been using BrayTech Werewolf, Legal Action 2 and Stars in Shadow whenever I decide to play pvp which is not that often and I usually do pretty good
People sleep on the Werewolf because of it's slow rpm but then never realize they aren't playing to it's strength
I dismantled all my Braytechs. Probably not smart.
Legal action is the only kinetic high-impact pulse rn that's not messenger. Also, my werewolf with mulligan and unrelenting is great
Stars is insane but legal is just a worse version of messenger
The BrayTech is really good! I used it all the time in pvp last year.
Been a huge fan of Farewell since all the sidearm improvements. Having the full-auto perk along with RF/Multi-kill clip have made a menace in 6s and 3s to a degree
Trinary System can be even more consistent than Timeline's in everything except zoom. It can roll with slideshot and Tap the trigger. Those 2 perks combined puts it over 100 stability even with out stability MW. Then if you run arrowhead and projection fuse with a range MW, you can get 83 range and 100 recoil with counterbalance mod. You can get it to 92 range of you switch to extended barrel instead of arrowhead, but that doesnt seem necessary.
Of course you're highly unlikely to roll that combo and, like he said in the video, Timeline's can get the highest zoom among fusions. So he right, Timeline's is the most consistent adaptive fusion in the game, but Trinary system is a close 2nd.
great points! :) I wish the chances of getting a perfect Trinary were higher than 0.00000000001%
@@ShadowDestiny so true. I wish Bungie would make Drifter, and the other 2 vendors, similar to Saint-14. If we could turn in the Gambit engrams to the Drifter to get Gambit specific weapons, it would be much more enjoyable. I'd even pay 100 legendary shards, similar to Saint-14, to try to get the perfect Trinary. Oh well.
Love the video man. You are one of my favorite D2 youtubers to watch. I've honestly learned a lot from your channel. Thanks 👍
@@ShadowDestiny I got the tap the trigger and firmly planted one with range MW..best fusion ever
Technically Timelines can outdo trinary due to the fact of scopes pushing out one shot kill distance but trinary is nasty. I have firmly planted tap the trigger and it fucks everything up
Aren’t they needing tap the trigger on fusion rifles?
Awesome list! I actually love using Sacred Provenance pretty regularly.
I know you mentioned all rapid fire fusions, but a specific one to look at from the Garden of Salvation loot pool is Zealot's Reward. This rapid fire fusion is insane and can roll with Under Pressure and Backup Plan allowing for some instant burst kills at unexpected ranges.
11:44
Don't sleep on High Albedo too! It is a great introductory sidearm because of its slim frame, high optics, and a small muzzle flash, giving it a clear sight picture, even while firing. I hate just about every other sidearm because the muzzle either kicks up too much or produces too much flash, both of which obscures my targets, which is incredibly annoying since sidearms aren't for giving in their aim assist on MnK, so High Albedo is a (literal!) breath of fresh air.: Its perk pool isn't as great as The Vision, but if you want to start out and practice with an Adaptive Burst sidearm, Variks is where you go to grind for one.
It’s the only sidearm I’ve gotten that I’ve actually masterworked, and I hate sidearms.
@@FurorAeternumXBL Same. It's the only one I've bothered to masterwork myself.
I like it, but Peacebond has it beat in every way imho
Iron Banner is supposed to start on the next reset so maybe I’ll get a Peacebond that I actually like this time
@@FurorAeternumXBL I've got so many, I can't decide, they all work so well!
Recently been trying out different sidearms with full auto mod and has been some of the most fun I’ve had lately. Absolutely deadly in close quarters
Ive been using the cartesian coordinate newly and I really love it. I was getting bagged by so many sweats using it and im not that type of off-meta guy, I usually use meta everytime but the cartesian made me look more into off meta weapons.
It was also big game in pve that season, as it was the only rapid fire fusion that could roll with Vorpal. Cartesian with Vorpal and Boss Spec alongside Particle Deconstruction was the highest boss DPS during that season.
I have a last breath with killing wind moving target and can confirm 600 autos that break they range mold of an auto, in scathlockes case zoom and in last breaths case rangefinder stacked with killing wind, these are some of the most slept on weapons in the game.
Seriously! Out of all of these, Scathelocke is my personal favorite.
Meant killingwind rangefinder on the last breath.
I’ve been using the contingency plan for the last few weeks and I’m absolutely loving it, definitely one of my favorite scouts for pvp
3:41 that transition 😍🔥
Sojourner’s is my favorite gun in the game right now. Opening shot + tunnel vision is cracked. Racked up over 250 kills in about 8 hours of gameplay last weekend.
Mate your channel is awesome and you should be getting way more attention than you currently have. You’re up there with Cammycakes and some of the older Ascendant Nomad stuff for me. I’ve found their content really helpful and informative. You’ve nailed it!
I'm a PVE main; with literal minutes in PVP arena over D1 and D2. It's never really drawn me to anything.
But I will admit:
Tarrabah has become one of my favorite weapons to use in the PVE sandbox primarily due to its exotic perk. Being able to take care of trash mobs with a higher ROF and higher damage output during that ROF increase makes it a very interesting weapon to use, and even capable of tearing through portions of a champion's health without any artifact mods allocated towards SMG's this season.
The sidearm Farwell is a beast, I have no idea what the ttk is but it really melts people up close.
Ever time I think of the scathlocke, I instantly remember the d2 beta where this thing was crazy and everyone used it, it’s so nostalgic so I was kinda happy to see it return
I used scathelocke in vanilla D2 back when it only had one perk. It was my go to 600rpm and I love auto rifles. My current scathelocke is good too and I've used it a fair bit in the crucible with success
I'll definitely be using these more. Thanks shadow!
3:41 damn, that's a clean edit!!! Had to rewind to make sure I was seeing correctly lol
I'm loving most of the picks on this list, and I fully agree with Tarrabah's placement. Its base stats are terrifying, and Ravenous Beast is just an extra bonus if you get good at using it.
Kinda sad to not see picks like Extraordinary Rendition or Symmetry, since I've been getting a good amount of success with that combination recently, but I'm glad to see weapon picks that aren't just shotguns, hand cannons or pulse rifles.
Don't forget about Mechaneer's Trick sleeves for the sidearms as well, another 100% sleeper optiom that is beyond S Tier for sidearms, giving sidearms some of if not the fastest ttk's in the game.
I love how your channel is growing, keep going G
I was glad to see Vision on here. I switched between The Last Dance and Peacebond for a while but they just weren't performing well before the Shatter dive nerf. I accidentally infused my under pressure, kill clip Last Dance into the Xur Roll but at least the Xur roll makes up for less lethality with consistency. I would add the Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver in here too. Timed Payload feels amazing on it.
I did the entire redrix quest using Sacred provenance with high cal, rapid hit, kill clip. Love that thing.
glorious roll. It's so good!
Finally a video that highlights sacred providence! That is one of my favorite weapons of all time. I hope it sees more use. :)
Suros sidearms are also an amazing sidearm archetype, the only issue is the recoil they have. I personally use a rangefinder + harmony punching out which has came in clutch many times.
Remember that sidearms dont benefit too much from icarus due to their good in air accuracy, so using counter balance gives you perfect 100 recoil direction. Also definitely test a roll with kill clip, it makes the rapud fire sidearms very spooky.
Punching out is so good.
love these video’s 🔥 always makes me want to keep solid rolls of un-“meta” weapons in my vault incase you or someone else discoveres a hidden gem
3:41 that transition is sick
Love my scathelocke. Been using it for a long time. Was using it to compete easily with gnawing hunger when it was king. The stability is fantastic, although the recoil direction isn't perfectly vertical like gnawing hunger has. Still very solid.
That was a beautiful knife throw at 13:13
5:16 Servant leader is also a crazy good scout imo, the sights are clean and it rolls with some pretty good perks.
I have one with killing wind and kill clip and it slaps
Scathelocke is actually insane autorifle. I have one with heating up and rampage with a range masterwork and i was shredding people in control and even trials.
Mine has under pressure, choice between high caliber rounds or tactical mag, and the a I use the Model 8 Red sight. Has a range masterwork on it. Rage stat is 66, and can bump it up to 70. It's a bonkers gun. And rely fun to use.
I’ve been loving Far Future sniper it’s honestly really smooth.
As someone with 5k Chroma Rush kills and 3k Scathelocke kills, thank you for giving them their due!
you're welcome gamer :)
Love me some auto rifles. I got a couple good scathelockes lately despite in vanilla D2 it being my main 600rpm. I honestly prefer precision frames and used the origin story, now seventh seraph but they're all good in their own right
I’ve been using the vision (with mechanners tricksleeves) with agers scepter for a long time and it’s better than a lot of meta loadouts
100% believe it!
Finally someone talks about sacred provenance. I love this thing
I totally agree with Contingency Plan. You just up the stability a bit on that weapon and it feels amazing.
Started hitting more clips after watching your videos. Thank you for all the help!
love to hear it!!
I fully agree with the Retraced Path, but Ruinous Effigy is also criminally underrated. Plus, dunking on people in Crucible is oodles of fun
I was hoping you would’ve given Hailing confusion some rep, it’s really good and super forgiving even if it’s ttk isn’t the greatest it’ll still pretty much always get a 3 burst kill
The Vision!!! Yes! I've been defending this sidearm for months! Its a very underrated sidearm. I nabbed one with Accurized, full auto and kill clip with a range mw. The full auto perk allows me to put icarus grip on the thing. Thing is a MONSTER in PvP, I tell you!
3:41 that was a really cool transition
thanks :)
Keep it up bro these videos are awesome
Ive been using sacred provenance for ages in both pve and pvp, havent got an rh/kc roll, but i have rh/snapshot which i love.
What does it mean that I use about 2/3 of these? I adore my Cartesian. Already racked up over 1100 kills with it over the last couple months. 7th Seraph is still my favorite shotgun to date, though I have more Felwinters kills for obvious reasons. My Rangefinder Kill Clip High Cal Sacred Provenance is dirty, and so is my Firmly Planted Kill Clip Contingency Plan. As a meme I took Last Word and Contingency Plan into several games of IB and somehow it worked. Still hunting for that Swash Biting Winds though. All the game will give me is sympathetic arsenal.
Two weapons that many people sleep on, too:
Devil's Ruin: The meanest meme beam. Its an adaptive frame sidearm, which has a really good TTK already, and its charged shot has deceptively high range and a frightening TTK. If you get some headshots in there, you can one-beam a super. Its variable trigger is a bit finnicky to get used to for some people, as it fires on trigger-release rather than pull (I personally haven't seen it as a huge issue myself, though I'm on MnK)
Sunshot: My most used weapon in any activity, period. The only remaining 150 rpm hand cannon, it's balanced by its sub-par aim-assist stat. However, innate explosive payload for flinching and a surprisingly powerful, simpler version of Dragonfly makes this a very punishing weapon against hand-holders, even in 3v3 modes. I couldn't even count how many times blowing up an enemy on kill has saved my ass in 2v1s from my enemy's buddy coming around the corner just to instantly have their health cut in half by a Sun Blast. Also, it just looks sexy.
Annual Skate took me very much by surprise! Its quite smooth to use.
I use Sacred Provenance paired with Zealots reward almost every single day in Pvp. They are disgustingly good.
you think both of those are in this video? 👀
@@ShadowDestiny lol I saw that all RF fusions came in 11th, and I saw some Provenance + composure gameplay - did you have both in the same loadout? Either way love this vid
Sacred Provenance with Rangefinder+Kill Clip is NASTY. Love using it in PvP.
A gun thst I have been using since D2 (2017? I think) had the 3 groups fight eachother and new monarchy won, I love the Loquitor IV, a hard af hitting, long range 360 Auto rifle that is sadly locked to 1100, but its fun af to use
I’ve got over 5k kills on my Sacred Prov and having used every pulse rifle extensively I’d have to say I think the sacred Provence is the best pulse rifle in the game, super slept on. Thanks for highlighting my favorite weapon!
I got the arrowhead ricochet rapid hit kill clip roll and it's so deadly
@@coreyyoung3482 man I’m so jealous all mine needs is arrowhead so I can put on icarus, I bet yours totally slaps!
Yea it deff is a beast got almost 8k kills on it
@@coreyyoung3482 i have the same roll but high cal rounds.
Shadow is by far the best Destiny PvP player to listen to, m8 doesn't clickbait, doesn't stupidly extend the video, and doesn't call every weapon known to man. This man has single-handedly made better in Crucible. Keep it up 👍
Wow thank you that means a lot!
Time worn spire and gridskipper are criminally underrated. I have destroyed lobbies many many times using these rapid fire frames. It takes some getting use to as far as controlling the headshots but now you have the option for full auto or a counterbalance stock its much easier using these guns
I've fallen in love with Bad Juju. A weapon that's basically if you're accurate and at medium/close range, you can start shredding through enemies. Combined with full auto, great stability, rampage, auto loading after a kill and granting increased Super Energy on more multi kills makes this weapon kinda slept on imo. The Hip-Fire Grip is kinda situational but helps when you're up close. Would recommend giving it a try if you can hit your headshots well!
What is your current sensitivity?
Hey shadow have you tried lonesome? It is beastly! I know you put sidearms at 3, but you only mentioned one of them so I wanted to chime in. I have an opening shot/full auto with almost max range (82 on little lite) and it shreds. I have about 3k kills on it and 1,250 from trials this season. I rarely come across it in pvp, but hey my gain lol. Thanks for all of your videos and keep them coming. I think you're one of the best streamers out there and really appreciate all of your extremely detailed videos. I have used your recommendations on pvp a ton and currently sit at top 10 percent in trials, which is a long way from my .34 k/d over a year ago. Mich appreciated!
Have a sacred provenance with rangefinder/kills clip. Was my first and only drop in that raid. Got around 1300 kills in pvp with it and still like it.
Great video and overall content 👌
3:40 nice transition
Love using outbreak perfected.. I always seem to catch my opponents off guard using it.. 😊👍
I love Scathelock. It just feels good to shoot. I'll have to try Retraced Path!
The vision is so strong, I love paring it with the witherhorde.
Great vid shadow
Sojourners with threat detector opening shot fucks. Just absolutely. I love mine.
I've been using my goated high albedo I got recently, and it is destroying people. I played an "only sidarm" private match with some friends and I was one kill away from first place. My friends were using rat king and travelers chosen and I was decimating them at my guns effective range.
A Swift Verdict is criminally underrated with one targeting mod and a counterbalance mod you can get 100 AA and 100 recoil direction. It can roll threat detector and kill clip and with surprise attack .43 ttk easy and 260rpm sidearms have the most range. It’s easily the best in its archetype and can easily outduel the best last word users.
In one game session maybe 2 to 3 hrs I logged 500 kills on it, that’s when I knew.
P.S. for the edited)
Kill clip and surprise attack stacks .23ttk
HOLY TWO TAPS with a SIDEARM!
Sweet sorrow hits hard
16:16 that was nasty my dude 😂
Sacred Provenance has such a cool model and design and is 1 of a kind. I really want that Rapid Hit + Kill Clip roll.
I’m so glad tommys was on here. Love using that weapon
As a bow main, that Biting Winds clip was incredibly satisfying to watch.
Great video shadow! Curious how do you think the judgement compares to annual skate? They both can roll timed payload and it’s a bit easier to farm!
both very good! I actually put judgement in my top 12 best weapons video, feel free to check it out :)
On the retraced path weapon I just want to mention prometheus, its ttk doesnt get close to that of retraced path but if you like to run blade barrage you can have your dodge up nearly all the time. If you pair that with wormhusk you can have healing whenever you need it. Pair it with gemini and your opponents will basically never have radar. Bombardiers can also work but they arent nearly as good. Retraced path is better for general use but if you want to be a bad person prometheus is your guy.
3:41 sick transition
😳
For the Tommy’s matchbook, Ignition trigger works really well at Low health. And maintaining less than 75%, you do NOT need to go into the red in order to get the full 97% damage bonus. I dunno if this is helpful for anyone, but max ignition actually happens at around 50% of your shield.
I bought the Serengeti Revolver from Xûr last weekend (threat detector and timed payload) and I’ve only had about an hour with it in pvp and it’s already over 100 recorded defeats. I love it soooo much! It is such an amazing dueling hand cannon! That and I use the scout from the lure with threat detector and no distractions for that long range game. I’m a big time off-meta guy.
Your null composure + sacred provenance is my main build. Range finder kill clip sacred is my fav primary weapon substantially better than most if not all legendary pulses.
shadow upload = mood improved drastically
this comment = mood improved drastically
My Death Adder with Rangefinder and Feeding Frenzy is in its own realm of good. I hit 10k crucible kills on it the other day. For me it’s by FAR the most criminally underrated gun in the game. ESPECIALLY if you run Path of Burning Steps or Mantle of Battle Harmony. Sooo good.
I love Sacred Provenance. It is my number 1 favorite pulse rifle and its criminally underrated
ive got a scathelocke with arrowhead/fluted, steady rounds/accurized, under pressure & eye of the storm with a stability mw on top.
its honestly the most satisfying auto ive used in a while and if you’re looking for consistency, definitely try getting your hands on one. i can’t consistently kill vex users, but this gun definitely locks a trade down against one and thats saying something. 👍
100%! that's an awesome roll
I'm so hyped for the tarrabah buff... its going to be an absolute BEAST next season. Havent taken it off since I got it.
My Arrowhead Brake/Accurized Rounds/Heating Up/Rampage Scathelocke, with a stability MW and rampage spec is my baby. Clad with gambit leather for maximum Cheeki Breeki.
Super happy to see my favorite weapon in secound on this list. I've been running rapid hit/kill clip for a long time and whenever people see me using it there are like wtf is that. I have about 1000kills on it and it just keeps going up, got me a 1.9k/d on midtown trials week.
I like to run terraba with bottom hammer and firewalker. Almost constant damage buff and makes the beast perk even quicker
Sojourners talked is my favorite pvp weapon. I have a full bore, light mag, threat detection op shot. Very nice
Thank u seriously 🤯👍👌
Thanks for the awesome content!
Np :)
I got my 4th C-plan with surplus and kill clip and haven't used dmt or servant leader in pvp since
Sacred Provenance is probably my go-to pulse rifle, feels so good to use
Scathelocke has been my bread and butter ever since vanilla D2. Once I got my new one this season you know I put that on.
Try crimson, retraced path, and athrys's embrace. So much fun in iron banner. Any pulse can replace crimson for same effect.
How do you get to that gunsmith page on xbox plz I need to know
love your videos keep up the good work ur my favorite destiny yt channel
that means a lot man, thank so much
I have a Rapid Hit + Kill Clip + Stability MW Sacred Providence that I've been using since the week the raid released... the things busted
Omg that’s a cracked roll
Devil's Ruin is easily hella underrated, at least on controller. The slower discharge then normal fusion rifles makes precharging and adjusting on target as you round a corner much more forgiving. Even if it used special ammo it would still be strong.
I love chroma rush, totally getting a tommy now
I got a roll on Scathelock with range perks in the 1 and 2 slots, Subsistence for ammo back in the mag after a kill, and multi kill clip. Is that as good as I think it is?
3:41 what a transition
Tarrabah was so slept on especially after the buff and I was always mad I never got one but got my friends to start using it and one of them out 1k kills on in a trials weekend
wow awesome! Do they know the trick about how to not lose progress on ravenous beasts when swapping? My vid tomorrow explains it
