I RANKED Every Exotic Weapon for PvE - Best Exotics for Solo Players - Destiny 2 Season of the Deep

Quicksilver Storm and Conditional Finality should be S Tier. Although Quicksilver relies on artifact mods for champions, it is by far the best exotic primary with how much damage it can pump out, and Conditional Finality has great damage for champions (also can stun unstoppables) and ad clear with the shatter/ignite damage. A bonus point is that both guns feel really good to use.

One way I think the Vex could be greatly improved: Make the alternate fire stun barrier champions

Osteo does have a catalyst. Poison kills refill and overflow the mag.

At 1:11:39 talking Osteo striga (my personal favorite gun at level 1005) it already DOES have a Catalyst. If get a kill with the poison it overflows the magazine (+29 rounds) with every kill stacking up to around 115 rounds in the magazine. So sadly it'll probably never get a normal catalyst box

Trinity Ghoul synergizes DISGUSTINGLY well with warlock arc soul. You can focus big targets and shock little targets at the same time. On top of that, arc soul re-procs lightning rod. The bow generates a TON of traces. The bow gets Arc multikills which gen a TON of orbs (with mods) and even more orbs because of the kills while amplified. Combine this with fallen sunstar, pulse grenade, and a grenade build and it becomes crazy.

I know its niche, but Malfeasance with Lucky Pants is solo friendly and erases stuff. Then reload, put it away, and next time you see something that needs gone switch back. With Vorpal its eating good today

Dead Messenger definitely deserves to be in the C or B tier. Also, a lot of the kinetic exotic primaries are listed lower because “you’re gonna be using the special slot for an SMG”. There are tons of great legendary special weps in the energy slot. Wave frames are far and away the best, one-two punch shotties or blinding GLs are great, trace rifles are wonderful, and there are plenty of good fusion rifles for majors or backup boss dps these days.

I also really like Trinity Ghoul... but at least in the past, I found it dropped off hard when red bars get tough enough such that you might not get a kill with a shot--especially when you were shooting at a major surrounded by red bars and looking to crowd control that way. Ticuu's, on the other hand, manages it's perk without a required kill, which I always felt like it did superior damage when you were dealing with a major and still continuously damaging nearby red bars. But it's been a while since I've used it heavily, so perhaps I should go to Neomuna and try it again, as that is the epitome of tough red bars :)

Quicksilver Storm is (at the moment) the most busted exotic in the game, granades hit close to rockets, they grant an easy woven mail/tangle explosion, and it can unravel. Absolutely nuts.

If you put just the slightest thought on using Collective Obligation, it's easily a higher tier, Night stalker w Gyrfalcons / Void Demo Titan w Second Chance both can give volatile and weaken(plus the 15% damage buff from void leach), the gun also has infinite ammo if you equip devour or use stylish executioner.

The titan exotic glaive is a life saver solo and in a fireteam. The amount of times I saved myself from death is massive, and also I wouldn’t have gotten all 3 catalyst’s for the new exotic glaive without it...

Final warning is interesting this season because of the artifact perk that increases void and arc damage from abilities if a target has a strand debuff. It gives a solo player a way to apply strand debuff while on arc/void if you don't already have the navigator.

Thank you for the video. There are some that I haven’t been using that I will, as well as cleaning that vault!! Keep up the great work!!

Graviton Lance slaps pretty hard in high ad areas, I was farming kills through Shuro chi for guardian games, and decided to double up by unlocking catalysts and this one literally would decimate all the ads when I killed only one of them lol

Final warning was amazing last season with anti barrier sidearm. It does a really good job blasting majors once they are suspended and the unravel helps with adclear a ton

thank you for the great recap! luckily I have most of the Stiers except for the bows. Thunderloard is my personal favorite lol!

Black Talon just needs to have suppression added to the heavy projectile on direct hits but currently it is the best void sword that's not Falling Guillotine. Damage Combo is 2 heavy projectiles + 2 light attacks. Also good in Gambit.

You definitely should give rat king a chance for solo play. While the exotic perk is built around multiple people having the gun equipped, invis and healing on kill + reload on any class/subclass can be great in solo flawless dungeons and other scenarios

For ad clear, cryosthesia is pretty good. The shatter damage paired with stasis seekers can clear a large group of low level enemies easily. Especially for public events like terminal overload, this thing is VERY good.

Osteo Striga does have a catalyst, you have to level up the weapon enough and you can reshape it with the catalyst.
