The Witch Queen, the highly awaited DLC for Destiny 2, was released a few months ago. There have been numerous improvements and adjustments to the game as a result of this DLC. Destiny 2 players have returned to the game and may now enjoy this fantastic new DLC. And while people try to keep up with the changes in the game, they also aim to enjoy the campaign and quests by obtaining the most powerful weapons.

In today’s article, we will list the most popular and powerful Exotic weapons in The Witch Queen DLC. With this tier list, you can learn and grind the best weapons in the game. These weapons have the most outstanding Power in the game and will be of great help to you in most campaign quests or raids.

This tier list is designed to start with the most versatile, which can be used in a variety of situations, and then work its way down. Therefore, they were examined in four different categories as S-Tier, A-Tier, B-Tier, and C-Tier. If you have dropped a weapon while playing Destiny 2 and are wondering about its Tier, you can find your weapon in our list and learn about it. The tier list is mainly reliant on legendary weapon power as well as seasonal mods and events.

Before we start the Tier list, we would like to briefly explain what the Tiers mean so that you can understand the rest of the article fluently without getting confused. Let’s learn and explore the best and most useful Exotic weapons in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen DLC together!

Our criteria for each tier are as follows:

S-Tier: Exotic weapons that are quite unique and extraordinary types are S-Tier. That’s why these weapons are the most awesome items you can get in the game. Dropping and purchasing these is more challenging than others but definitely worth the effort.

A-Tier: A-Tier Exotics are highly useful and potentially game-changing weapons at specific points. These weapons will be enough for you to progress easily in the game and complete most quests without difficulty.

B-Tier: Only when specific criteria are met is it good. It’s difficult to justify a unique spot for them. However, since they are not the worst Tier in the game, we can say that they are still one point above the bad, although they are not very useful.

C-Tier: Weapons that are either impractical or specialized nice instances. It’s difficult to justify an exotic slot when there are better ones available that are both easy to obtain and absolutely outclass them.

Tier List of the Best Exotic Weapons in Destiny 2

S-Tier

  • Kinetic Weapons: Ace of Spades (Hand Cannon), The Chaperone (Shotgun), Osteo Striga (SMG), Witherhoard (Grenade Launcher)

This slot is dominated by some excellent PvP weapons, such as Ace of Spades, which are incredibly reliable and popular. You also have several unique weapons, such as Witherhoard and Osteo Striga, that are difficult to replace with other exotics.

If you like using Kinetic weapons and you believe they are the most powerful weapons in the game, we definitely recommend you to try these weapons. While some of them are difficult to obtain, we have no doubt that they will benefit you greatly at the end of the day.

  • Energy Weapons: Vex Mythoclast (Fusion Rifle), Trinity Ghoul (Combat Bow), Divinity (Trace Rifle)

If you prefer energy weapons, you shouldn’t be surprised to see Vex. The Vex is an energy weapon that has long been a favorite of most people. Despite being constantly nerfed over the years, it still manages to be an S-Tier. Others are just as powerful weapons as the Vex.

If you are preparing for Vow of the Disciple, the first raid of The Witch Queen DLC, we definitely recommend that you enter with an S-Tier gear or it can be very challenging. In addition, since the drops are random, it is a bit of luck to get the drop you want. But no problem! Here we come into play. Thanks to the Vow of the Disciple raid carry service provided by our expert and world-class team, we complete this raid easily and in the fastest way. You can take advantage of the advantages we offer and open the door to significant rewards.

  • Heavy Weapons: Heir Apparent (Machine Gun), 1k Voices (Fusion Rifle), Gjallajorn (Rocket Launcher)

We can say that Gjallajorn, an easily obtainable and deadly weapon, is the shining star of this list. Although it is not as powerful as in Destiny 1, you can be sure that you will definitely get the job done. The rest are fully raid-friendly weapons that deserve to be S-Tier in Heir Apparent and 1k Voices. It’s really satisfying to see them in the S-Tier.

A-Tier

  • Kinetic Weapons: Thorn (Hand Cannon), No Time to Explain (Pulse Rifle), Dead Man’s Tale (Scout Rifle), Izanagi’s Burden (Sniper Rifle), The Last Word (Hand Cannon)

In Destiny, there are a variety of good kinetic weapons. Some are fantastic for PVP, while others are fantastic for PVE, or both. You should feel free to use whatever you want here because your preference can go a long way. Some, like Izinagi’s Burden and No Time to Explain, are truly one-of-a-kind.

  • Energy Weapons: Jötunn (Fusion Rifle), Lorentz Driver (Linear Fusion Rifle), Duality (Shotgun), Wavesplitter (Trace Rifle)

You’ll find several fantastic energy weapons here that do their job well—both Jötunnn and Lorentz are fantastic for all content. Because it’s a void season, Wavesplitter makes an unexpected entrance!

  • Heavy Weapons: Deathbringer (Rocket Launcher), Eyes of Tomorrow (Rocket Launcher), Thunderlord (Machine Gun), Sleeper Simulant (Linear Fusion Rifle).

The Heavy weapons on this list are more awesome than you might think, and they’re a big deal in Destiny 2. Even though they are A-Tier, they are no different from an S-Tier Heavy weapon and they are always in the foreground. Especially Rocket Launchers, Deathbringer, and Eyes of Tomorrow, can surprise you in boss fights.

B-Tier

  • Kinetic Weapons: Fighting Lion (Grenade Launcher), Vigilance Wing (Pulse Rifle), Arbalest (Linear Fusion Rifle), Wish-Ender (Combat Bow)

Weapons in this tier can be extremely useful in certain situations. Especially if we are talking about Kinetic weapons, you know better how powerful they are. You can come up with some weird specialized synergies and setups. Even though they are not as powerful as the Kinetic weapons in the other tier, they are still playable.

Weapons in this tier have distinct uses in the game, such as Hard Light’s versatility against various shield types. In some cases, we can say that they are quite helpful.

  • Heavy Weapons: Black Talon (Sword), The Colony (Grenade Launcher), Legend of Acrius (Shotgun), The Queenbreaker (Linear Fusion Rifle)

Weapons like Parasite and Tractor Cannon have specific applications that can be useful in certain situations, such as with certain types of material. The problematic aspect about the Heavy weapons is that it’s difficult to justify a slot for something you only use once in a while unless it’s a game-breaker.

C-Tier

  • Kinetic Weapons: The Jade Rabbit (Scout Rifle), Sweet Business (Auto Rifle), Cerberus+1 (Auto Rifle)

They are not as strong as others. You can understand this from the fact that they are C-Tier. They can still work for you in a certain part of the game.

  • Energy Weapons: Borealis (Sniper Rifle), Coldheart (Trace Rifle), Prometheus Lens (Trace Rifle)

Compared to others, these Energy weapons are quite weak and useless. You can still use them temporarily until you get better.

  • Heavy Weapons: Leviathan’s Breath (Combat Bow), Truth (Rocket Launcher)

These weapons aren’t unique enough to deserve an exotic slot. Therefore, they are not preferred much. You can still use it temporarily in the beginning parts of the game.
