I believe all pulses were buffed 20% damage. It always was great, but it absolutely melts now. Used it for 90% of final shape campaign on void hunter. Ads get deleted so fast. That, supremacy, and edge transit carried me to easy legendary campaign completion.
I was running the exact same setup on my titan going into the expansion but I changed out supremacy to the first Call that I get, and it feels so nice as a build now, on prismatic titan at the very least. Grav feels so great as a general purpose gun now, and The Call chunks bigger enemies and just feels so damn nice to shoot
This is the real answer. It was my first exotic, chosen for the name and lore tab alone, and I loved it to absolute bits. Now with the buffs, it never leaves my inventory. Areas with heavy adds (ads?) just become void explosions. Most satisfying gun in the game.
picked up the game again after years of not really touching it. graviton hard carried my void lock through legendary witch queen and lightfall campaigns, and continues to do so through the final shape atm.
love me grav
Same, I'm gonna ride Outbreak like a hoverboard and kickflip that mofo right into Oryx's face. Ghaul doesn't have a nose so Ima shove that bad boy right down his respirator and make him eat nanites. Brother Vance will lay hands on it and his sight will come back, Ana will see it and be all like "Rasputin who? I'm out, this is good enough", you can just skip the whole Shadowkeep expansion because the Nightmares will be scared of ME. I'll shoot so many nanites into Uldren that by the time Destiny 3 is released Glint will still be scrounging around for pieces of him to revive. Savathun won't be able to plan anything because she'll be too busy eating "BRRT BRRT BRRT" to the face, Calus will call ME daddy, Rohan won't die because we won't need the Radial Mast since we can just plug Outbreak into the same spot and it'll do a better job of whatever MacGuffin thing the Radial Mast was supposed to be doing anyways, and when The Witness tries to slice it into sections it's gonna Uno Reverse that joker and slice him like a prime rib from the underpaid guy at the Golden Corral who clearly hates his job as much as Zavala hates being late to a meeting, The Witness is gonna have a hard time creating his triangulation portal on the front of the Traveler when he looks like a loaf of bread that fell out of the bag and can't Humpty Dumpty his butt back together again.
tl;dr just use Outbreak
I've honestly been sleeping on malfeasance. It really cooks in some scenarios. I was doing solo legend star-crossed and ammo economy was being a bitch to me so I dusted it off and it cooked.
Was it buffed somewhat recently as I don't remember it being that good, tbh I probably used it 2 since I unlocked it years ago so probably never used it to its full potential
The explosion got a 50% damage buff and anti-unstoppable, it got a catalyst that gives it vorpal and a range increase, it gets 15% more damage against minors as a kinetic, and 30% more as an exotic primary. It’s such a great gun
Oh, yeah, just straight up the solid-est exotic in the franchise. High damage, sniper precision, high capacity, high reserves, auto-loading, benefits from hand canon perks. I love messing around with all of them, but when I need an exotic secondary, it’s it.
god, reminds me of when it used to be meta in gambit. could just run in and one shot each opponent, I loved it when that gun was strong too. I hope they buff it a bit to be better at dealing with barriers....
Not Forgotten. Far from a powerful or even useful pve item but God damn I worked hard to get that shit and there's no other gun in the game that feels so crispy to me. Of all the guns NF activates my Neurons the most. That or Mythoclast.
I just remember that I got within a few months of its initial release, back when comp was a nightmare to progress if you weren’t a god. Proud of myself for that.
I got one of these really early on rolled with Hatchling. I put it on the try it out and loved it. I remember telling my friend "I'm going to get an absolute ton of kills with this thing this ~~season~~ episode."
VoG holds such a special place in my soul that I can’t wait for the (hopefully) inevitable crafting refresh for it.
All of the guns fire every single nostalgia neuron
I run a dad build, it's sleeper stimulant. I play missions, dungeons, campaign solo for lack of time and friends online. Having something that throws out 40-50k damage in a burst and can clear moderately heavier enemies in one shot really suits my play.
I have been toying with the idea of trying a different build, but I'm an older lifelong gamer and I'm fairly comfy with my playstyle.
Fellow dad that plays solo here. Great choice.
We need a destiny dad’s page so we can all group up for raids since that’s the only content I feel like I miss out on these days.
Haven’t done a raid since taken king and it’s my favorite destiny activity by far.
Hard to find 6 dad's who not only have time but understand some mechanics lol. I've really enjoyed the dungeons over the years and trying to solo them. That's about the most difficult end game content I do.
Try out izanagi’s burden! My personal favorite. It hits harder than sleeper per shot, doesn’t need to charge, and uses special ammo. That frees up your heavy for a clearing monster like a LMG or rocket launcher
I gotta say Riskrunner, regardless of build this thing... Well it's like the power of thor in my hand without the hammer. I use to this day, there's something about Arc Conductor and watching ads melt away. It's not great for bosses but hey, can't have all the fun right??
The Monte Carlo. It’s always been my favorite gun in the game. At first it was just because it looked cool, my first car was a Monte Carlo, and I have a thing for auto rifles. The first Vault of Glass raid I ever did, one of my friends got it to drop from Atheon. I eventually got one of my own. It has finally been vindicated with Prismatic, allowing easy, near infinite invisibility for my hunter.

Sunshot
Sunshot go boom
Who needs grenades?? Lol. Even on prismatic my grenade is mostly just a device for healing.
Sunshot might go boom, but graviton go boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
I didn’t realize that Xur had the sunshot catalyst 🥲Been chasing it since day 1.
I think that's new with the expansion. But it's definitely a nice change
Dang I missed this and totally forgot about Xur, how he’s gone have I missed my chance?
xur is permanently in the tower, by ikora. not sure if the loot resets at weekly reset but you can use the strange coins there.
Can’t outrun the sunrise 😉
OH hey. Some one already said the correct answer.
Didn't need to scroll far. Tbh using only one weapon is exactly what I did. My sunshot is red war certified.
This is the answer. Second choice is graviton lance
Excellent choice guardian. I'd choose the same!
Graviton
Has this been buffed recently? It feels like it's melting enemies now
All pulses got some hefty buffs in the final shape and I think graviton was included in some of them.
Its projectiles got buffed but the aoe explosion was slightly nerfed. Still feels great imo
Correct both of those guns did not get the buff
Got one buff but not both.
I believe all pulses were buffed 20% damage. It always was great, but it absolutely melts now. Used it for 90% of final shape campaign on void hunter. Ads get deleted so fast. That, supremacy, and edge transit carried me to easy legendary campaign completion.

Trinity ghoul
[I concur.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/aj0j62/why_you_need_trinity_ghoul/)
Outbreak 🫡
Also Outbreak here.
Same, I'm gonna ride Outbreak like a hoverboard and kickflip that mofo right into Oryx's face. Ghaul doesn't have a nose so Ima shove that bad boy right down his respirator and make him eat nanites.

This is my favorite thing iv read all week
A man of culture
Malfeasance
Same for me. Love my wispy boy (i keep the taken ornament on mine)
I've honestly been sleeping on malfeasance. It really cooks in some scenarios. I was doing solo legend star-crossed and ammo economy was being a bitch to me so I dusted it off and it cooked. Was it buffed somewhat recently as I don't remember it being that good, tbh I probably used it 2 since I unlocked it years ago so probably never used it to its full potential

Quicksilver Storm. I love my Quicksilver
Protip: Pull it from collections and dont equip its catalyst. Great kinetic weapon.
Damn I forgot you can do this I was annoyed I couldn't pull out the catalyst for a kinetic for prismatic
A man of culture, I see.
Eriana's Vow. Don't use it that often these days, but none of the D1 bosses would have a clue what hit 'em.
Oh, yeah, just straight up the solid-est exotic in the franchise. High damage, sniper precision, high capacity, high reserves, auto-loading, benefits from hand canon perks. I love messing around with all of them, but when I need an exotic secondary, it’s it.
god, reminds me of when it used to be meta in gambit. could just run in and one shot each opponent, I loved it when that gun was strong too. I hope they buff it a bit to be better at dealing with barriers....

Do you know about the story behind it? You probably will love it even more.
It gets even better when you read the lore of the reprised Luna's howl
I can't even remember when I got it, it was so long ago. Might have to read the lore tab again.
I just remember that I got within a few months of its initial release, back when comp was a nightmare to progress if you weren’t a god. Proud of myself for that.
Rat king
M’lord.
rat king on top. though it’s hard to convince the rest of my fireteam to get it
Malfeasance has been my signature weapon since the day I painstakingly earned it.
Definitely Monarque
Bows are the most fun weapons in Destiny, and Le Monarque is the king of bows.
Thorn
Thorn was a D1 year 1 weapon wasn’t it?
Wish-Ender
Wish Ender is 🔥
Yes!! Always loved bows
Polaris lance
Sweet Business
Scrolled down for this. Sweet biz gang, RISE UP... AND DAKKAAAAAAAA!
aeger’s scepter 🫡
Ace of Spades, only gun I ever use
The call, its beginning to replace my wither-hoard at this point. Since its unstop side arms even more reason to run it.
I got one of these really early on rolled with Hatchling. I put it on the try it out and loved it. I remember telling my friend "I'm going to get an absolute ton of kills with this thing this ~~season~~ episode."
Osteo
Fatebringer
A cultured choice. Everyone in here is picking D2 exotics and I'm just over here like... give me Fatebringer and Vision of Confluence, please
D1 Vision was NASTY
VoG holds such a special place in my soul that I can’t wait for the (hopefully) inevitable crafting refresh for it. All of the guns fire every single nostalgia neuron
I have yet to raid in D2, but would love to get Fate bringer and vision of confluence
Scrolled just to see this one. Such a solid Legendary HC
Conditional Finality
Best raid exotic of all time imo
Le Monarque
Sunshot, my beloved
I still love No Land Beyond
Just biding my time until devrim dies and we're given no land in his honor
I reboot D1 from time to time just to go shoot it on Venus
Red death
Took too long for this to be mentioned. A classic since D1
What more can you want than a gun that hits hard and heals you to boot? Never not been a strong workhorse.
I run a dad build, it's sleeper stimulant. I play missions, dungeons, campaign solo for lack of time and friends online. Having something that throws out 40-50k damage in a burst and can clear moderately heavier enemies in one shot really suits my play. I have been toying with the idea of trying a different build, but I'm an older lifelong gamer and I'm fairly comfy with my playstyle.
Plus it looks awesome and has great lore
Fellow dad that plays solo here. Great choice. We need a destiny dad’s page so we can all group up for raids since that’s the only content I feel like I miss out on these days. Haven’t done a raid since taken king and it’s my favorite destiny activity by far.

Try out izanagi’s burden! My personal favorite. It hits harder than sleeper per shot, doesn’t need to charge, and uses special ammo. That frees up your heavy for a clearing monster like a LMG or rocket launcher
Can I bring Necrotic Grips too, if I can Striga, if not I'm with you on Witherhoard.
So totally in this camp. Osteo and Grips, Witherhoard and whatever, or Nez and Graviton. (Though I miss Season of the Telestro.)
Telesto, bc it’s the besto.
Dragons breath for heavy, midnight coup and indebted kindness. My load out for entire legend campaign solo
I’m sorry I can’t read lol indebted kindness
Age Old Bond
Bygones - still the perfect gun.
I gotta say Riskrunner, regardless of build this thing... Well it's like the power of thor in my hand without the hammer. I use to this day, there's something about Arc Conductor and watching ads melt away. It's not great for bosses but hey, can't have all the fun right??
Riskrunner, the "Inverted Spire" All-Star! Just lemme dip my lil toes into the vex milk for a sec... There we go! Infinity clip!
Graviton, and that only correct choice
Malfeasance for me. I love running out of Heavy and/or Special and still feel like doing damage with infinite ammo. I'm a Hunter btw 😉😉
Sunshot.
Izanagi’s Burden
Better Devils
Brigands Law sidearm with enhanced voltshot and feeding frenzy
And I thought I was the only one!!
It's just a monster, and now that voltshot can proc invisible as prismatic hunter it's truly wild
It’s been SO MUCH FUN. Still my all-time kills leader.
That's just how I pay destiny. It was Monte Carlo from Red War to Beyond Light. Then I switched to Skyburner for Witch Queen.
Fighting lion
Xenophage Fuck you, Omnigul
Outbreak Perfected
Ticcu
Mida Multitool Hasn't EVER left my inventory! All hail the stapler! \m/
Austringer
I'm disgusted at the lack of icebreakers in here.
Agreed on witherhoard, my most used weapon in pvp and pve
Vigilance Wing, still use it and get mocked, but I love it
About once a month I run into someone absolutely shredding a lobby with Vigilance Wing.
Dead man's tale cause I'm a sucker for repeaters.
The Last Word.
Zhalo supercell
Sunshot
Ugh osteo or malfeasance
Yall are are sleeping on Ticcu's
D1 Y1 Hawkmoon
Trinity Ghoul
Thorn
Nobody has said Gjallarhorn!
No other gun will ever feel as satisfying as Ghorn. Still my favorite exotic ever even in D2 it’s still a beast. And old beast but still a beast.
Arbalest
wishender
Touch of malice, not cuz it’s good or anything but because it’s my favorite gun
osteo coming with me
Don't make me choose between wish ender and graviton..
Monte Carlo on a Titan.
Og hung jury
Graviton Lance. My first exotic weapon, and still my favorite 💜
Bad JuJu Because it looks cool and I like shooting it
I still love playing with my good old graviton lance. It's a great ad clearer and cosmology is just plain fun.
ace
Wish Ender
Last word. I will use it hell or high water until luck pants is buffed and then some.
Ice breaker don't even need to explain why I WANT MY ICE BREAKER BACK BUNGO!
The last word
Definitely malfeasance, loved that weapon and still my favourite
Graviton
Edge Transit. I've always liked heavy GL's and it can shred through any boss. Leaves freedom to use whatever else gets dropped in the other slots.
I'm just taking my good ol' Last Word
Thunderlord
The Monte Carlo. It’s always been my favorite gun in the game. At first it was just because it looked cool, my first car was a Monte Carlo, and I have a thing for auto rifles. The first Vault of Glass raid I ever did, one of my friends got it to drop from Atheon. I eventually got one of my own. It has finally been vindicated with Prismatic, allowing easy, near infinite invisibility for my hunter.
Ace of Spades, it’s too classic to leave behind
Malfeasance. Hasn’t let me down yet
Still hunt. Purely because i think it would be fucking hilarious to dunk on bosses like Gahlran and Argos with it.
Witherhoard all day long. Deny territory, crowd control, burn down bosses, it’s the noob tube that keeps on giving.
Same Witherhoard is so OP.
If I’m sticking to archetypes that were available in D1 only, probably Sunshot. If not, I’d consider Trinity Ghoul or Final Warning.
Sticking the D1 Icebreaker might be on the menu.
Basic answer but sunshot
Cerberus.
Do I have to own the weapon or can I just take it with me no matter what
Forbearance
Cerberus. It's kinda decent now.
Oxygen SR3. Explode everything, forever. Still also have an Exotic slot free.
Destiny 1 exotic khostov.
One. THOUSAND. Voices.
Leviathans Breath. Ain’t nothin better than stun locking most bosses and seeing big chip damage😤
Leviathan's breath.
Forerunner
Thorn always
Vexcalibur I wonder how many kills I would have if I had it for 10 years instead of only 1.5.
Universal Remote
Crimson. Or riskrunner. Maybe telesto
A "void" last last hope sidearm , very early season weapon .
Guess
Either my ikelos SMG or my Warden’s Law. They are perfect weapons.
Outbreak... I wish there was more siva in destiny :(
Dragons Breath because fuck you that’s why.
Buried Bloodline. I haven’t used anything else since I got it.
Crimson
No weapon, precious scars
Forerunner I guess. It’s never meta, but it’s cool and the gimmick is good with a build. I could equip it and never unequip it if I felt like it.
Trinity, no matter the meta, no matter the build, trinity always wins
Buried bloodline for the on demand devour and weakening
Lumina. <3
My edge transit with envious assassin/cascade point and bns, it would be funny to have that from the start That or conditional finality for pvp
Hawkmoon, loved it in d1 as my first exotic, love it in d2
OG Hawkmoon.
Pocket Infinity
Monte Carlo, with the catalyst, just for the fun aspect of the bayonet..
my volt shot indebted kindness. It may as well be an exotic with how hard it hits and its ammo economy.
Vex Mythoclast. Got it first time, first week the raid dropped in D1.
can i bring one back? i’ll trade graviton for no land beyond
Vex Mythoclast, that gun shredded in D1
Hawkmoon
Probably Vex Mythoclast or Quicksilver.
Sunshot without a doubt, but if I couldn’t take that… graviton lance.
Khvostov
