dps weapon?

[vernal kernel]

what is the best dps weapon for raid bossess dmg phase

[rugged sky]

crafted apex or the trials gl with bns

[vernal kernel]

what

can u say the weapon names please?

[steel phoenix]

apex predator

and that gl weapon that people keep bringing into rocket groups to look cool and then they ruin the point of having gally

[vernal kernel]

is this a heavy weapon

[steel phoenix]

ye rocket

[vernal kernel]

rocket launcher?

anything else? that can be used against bossess

i dont like rocket launchers, bossess move around too much

[steel phoenix]

they are kinda boomy, you can aim for the floor

what do you want, sword? lfr/whisper?

[vernal kernel]

what is lfr/whisper?

[vernal kernel]

tracer rifle, beause infinte ammo

for raid boss dps

[steel phoenix]

linear fusion rifle/whisper
use heavy wep for bosses, those are precision weps for long damage phases

trace is a red bar weapon that's kinda eh ok at majors

[vernal kernel]

how do u know this

[steel phoenix]

?

[vernal kernel]

LIke what? other than a rocket launcher

[rugged sky]

you are saying you want something good for dps yet you dont want to use whats good for dps

i think i remember you, and if im correct the last time you asked something it went the exact same way

[vernal kernel]

rocket launcher isnt the only good dps weapon

[steel phoenix]

for what type of boss

[vernal kernel]

any boss

[steel phoenix]

it depends on boss

rocket most bosses
precision weps for long damage phases like lfr/whisper/also levi
sword for sword range
lmg good on clearing lots of ads

[red igloo]

rockets can usually just be default ez dps for most bosses not all

briars or cataclysmic for precision bosses like oryx

[rugged sky]

but its the best for most bosses

and very easy to use

and its what most teams default to when it comes to dps

[woven zodiac]

@vernal kernel do you have crafting unlocked

[vernal kernel]

yea

[vernal kernel]

most bossess move around too much its too difficult to aim a rocket launcher

[woven zodiac]

Palmyra-b with autoloading holster + explosive payload (rocket that tracks) and taipan with triple tap + firing line (linear fusion rifle)

[vernal kernel]

i used taipan once and i was kicked from the raid

[woven zodiac]

Were they using rockets

[vernal kernel]

no idea

[woven zodiac]

Did they ask you to swap

[vernal kernel]

yes and just kicked me

it happened in this discord lol

[woven zodiac]

Do you remember what they asked you to swap to

[vernal kernel]

IDK

why do u wnat to know?

[woven zodiac]

Because they were probably using rockets and you didn’t switch to a rocket

Very few bosses in the game move too much to be killed with rockets

[vernal kernel]

but it made me think it was a bad weapon

the taipan

[vernal kernel]

I have thunderlord but it takes way too long for it to start firing

IMO

[woven zodiac]

What are the perks on your taipan

[vernal kernel]

cant post pic here

[woven zodiac]

Use words

[vernal kernel]

how do u get a crafted one

[woven zodiac]

3rd and 4th column

What

[vernal kernel]

IDK what do u want to ask me so many questions

[woven zodiac]

That’s the first gun you craft isn’t it

[vernal kernel]

i just wanted to know where i could get a good dps weapon

[vernal kernel]

i never crafted one

[woven zodiac]

Then go to the enclave on savathuns throne world and craft one

[vernal kernel]

i cant

[woven zodiac]

Why

[vernal kernel]

not enough

enchantment cores

[woven zodiac]

Ok then buy the rocket launcher that banshee is selling and it’ll be fine

[vernal kernel]

i just said i didnt want to use a rocket launcher

[woven zodiac]

Get better with rocket launchers

They’re not hard to use

Best damage for most bosses

[vernal kernel]

what is the 2nd best then?

[woven zodiac]

Adaptive and aggressive frame rockets are #1, high impact frames are #2, precision frames are #3

[robust inlet]

Trials GL

[woven zodiac]

Everything else is cope

[robust inlet]

After that, you’re either playing support with Tractor Cannon or GHorn, or otherwise you’re being an active detriment to your team

[wheat sapphire]

Most raid and dungeon bosses are stationary. The only one that moves around is rhulk and you are not ready for vow

Nez moves around a little but you just wait until he stops moving

[woven zodiac]

Just shoot rhulk feet and you get full damage

[wheat sapphire]

I’ll just hit him in the body because im built like that

And because its not hard to keep rhulk in one place if you move around in a circle

[woven zodiac]

I shoot the feet because he always desyncs and teleports for me haha

[robust inlet]

Yeah you can have your tractor guy just sit in a well and kite his melees repeatedly

[wheat sapphire]

Mhm

[steel phoenix]

Do ppl not div rhulk anymore?

[rugged sky]

not really, since div fell off and people use rockets more

[woven zodiac]

Div is for Linears

[wheat sapphire]

I mean you can just have one hunter on teather and div and everyone else use lfr or whisper or sum and have the same effect as pre nerf div

Its just a bit more

[sharp bolt]

Get a crafted Apex and Taipan.
It will cover most if not all DPS scenarios. If you need to go more niché, you would already be at the point to understand how to setup a decent dps loadout.

But generally speaking; the less you have to reload, the higher the dps.

[molten reef]

Div is awful

[molten reef]

Yeah man just run 2 debuffs that dont stack

and one of them forces you to do awful damage

[modern badge]

Pls don't get taipan

Supremacy(a special weapon) with rewind rounds and fourth time the charm is better dps and almost the same total dmg lmao

[untold hamlet]

this game might not be for you @vernal kernel

[vernal kernel]

lol

everybody is saying 2 completely different things

[vernal kernel]

why?=

[untold hamlet]

You're refusing to take advice despite having asked for it. You don't want a solution. You just want someone to feed whatever view you already hold

[vernal kernel]

i want one but i just said that i thought rocket launchers are too much

and then 1 guy says taipan is good and now another guy said taipan is worse

[untold hamlet]

Taipan is mid. Use rocket launchers.

On some bosses u can use lev breath with catty or a lfr.

And if u struggle with rocket launchers, then learn to use em

[rugged sky]

if you really need to use an lfr, go get a cataclysmic or briars. taipan is dogwater

[vernal kernel]

i have done raids before and i almost never see anyone use a rocket launcher

[rugged sky]

also, from a previous encounter with them in another post, i can tell you this wont change either. same deal last time aswell

[vernal kernel]

what does LFR stand for

[rugged sky]

Linear fusion rifle

[vernal kernel]

i dont HAVE TO

i just meant anything thats not a rocket launcher or sniper rifle

they require too much aiming

[rugged sky]

you dont have to, but if you dont want to drag the team down you should

rockets require wayy less aiming than linears or anything

[untold hamlet]

brother in christ, you have done 7 full raids. you do not know what ur taking about. also what did you use for all ur nez clears then if not a rocket?

[rugged sky]

probably taipan, since that requires less aiming on nezzy than a rocket does

[untold hamlet]

taipan on nezzy 😭

[vernal kernel]

thunderthunderlord

[rugged sky]

ew

[untold hamlet]

yea see so ur what we call garbage. now either you accept our advice or move on and keep using tlord

[modern badge]

A blue rocketlauncher does more than thunderlord

[vernal kernel]

lmao but like i said im not the only 1 doing raids there are 5 other people , never have i seen a rocket launcher

[modern badge]

Btw that is acctualy tested and not just a joke

[rugged sky]

at this point ill just assume that you are trolling and stop trying to help

[untold hamlet]

yea you were raiding with bums as well lmao

[vernal kernel]

in game LFG

[untold hamlet]

if ur taking 3 hrs to clear ron

i can tell why yall are bums

[vernal kernel]

1st time it was 7 hrs

[untold hamlet]

even my ron sherpa runs dont take 3 hrs

[rugged sky]

[untold hamlet]

wear it as a badge of honor 🥂

[vernal kernel]

nobody here grew up playing destiny 2

[untold hamlet]

okay old man

[vernal kernel]

or grew up reading the destiny wikipedia

[rugged sky]

no, but they learned to be good, unlike you

[modern badge]

What

[untold hamlet]

get with the times or fall behind. youll be kicked out of almost every normal raid group if u pull up with tlord

[vernal kernel]

how am i bad? I said i didnt want to use rocket launchers because they require too much aiming

[modern badge]

That has to be top5 lfg sentences

[rugged sky]

thats exactly how

[untold hamlet]

skill issue. it takes 5 mins to learn to "aim" with a RL

[rugged sky]

no it doesnt, you look you click and you done

[untold hamlet]

u dont even aim with a RL. bosses take up 20% of ur screen if not more

literally

bro is adsing with a rl 😭

[modern badge]

If u can confidently use ur mouse to install destiny 2 and play it u can aim a rocketlauncher

[untold hamlet]

please refrain from raiding tyvm @vernal kernel

[rugged sky]

also, everything you need to know is either in the game or is general knowledge when playing the game on a non solo level

[vernal kernel]

u have to aim, u cant just start firiing

or else u would kill urself or completely miss ur shots

[vernal kernel]

....like u can with any other weapon

[untold hamlet]

brother nezzy is up in your face during dps what are u aiming at

[untold hamlet]

u kill urself if ur shooting the ground below u

[vernal kernel]

he jumps and moves, like every other boss what do u mean

[rugged sky]

you have to look at the boss anyways, and with a crit based weapon you have to aim at the crit spots, with rockets you can skip that last step

[untold hamlet]

he doesnt perma jump n move u baboon

[vernal kernel]

im not just talking about 1 boss

[untold hamlet]

he jumps > stationary >jump stationary

[rugged sky]

also if he jumps you can just blast the ground under him

the loss of impact damage is neglegible compared to if you stopped shooting

[untold hamlet]

u have done one raid around 4 times. thats the most experience you have

[modern badge]

Nezarec has like 1 hardcoded jump all others u can negate by staying in the correct spot

[untold hamlet]

i dont think you should be talking about boss movement

[modern badge]

He rly must be the toilet cleaner of any raidgroup

The amount of shiit coming through his mouth is unbelievable

[untold hamlet]

i wish raid report showed dmg numbers

[rugged sky]

okay, from your message history its clear you are either trolling, or trolling....

[quartz imp]

Damaged travelers chosen best for dps

[rugged sky]

💯

[red igloo]

What is this thread😭

[vernal kernel]

is this a troll

?

[untold hamlet]

its meta

[vernal kernel]

a pistrol for boss dps

[red igloo]

It's best yea

They buffed it last patch

[untold hamlet]

after the exotic verison of it was dropped the broken version was given some love

[vernal kernel]

im confused

[untold hamlet]

about what

[red igloo]

Fr

[quartz imp]

Would I lie to you?

[robust inlet]

If you want/need to learn how to rocket swap just practice the timing of things in the relic room in the enclave

Take the rocketpill my dude, I promise it’s worth it

Either that or live with being tractor/Ghorn guy for the rest of your life

[wheat sapphire]

Its not the timing bro has issue with, its the aiming.

Purely a skill problem

[robust inlet]

What aiming lmfao

I mean I guess on stuff like rhulk or nezzy if you don’t know his weird teleport hitbox, but stuff like caretaker, daughters, taniks, most damn bosses literally stand still

[robust inlet]

Okay no I get it

This guy only plays RoN lmaooo

1 clear on VoG, 1 on KF, and 1 on Vow

[vernal kernel]

it was just because i wanted the rufus

and

u guys are still saying rocket is the best

so there are no 2nd options that are just as good

because like i keep on saying u can never aim a rocket launcher at a boss because of the movement and reload time

all rockets only have 1 ammo

other weapons at least have 50+ ammo

[robust inlet]

The second best options are other rockets

[robust inlet]

SO DONT RELOAD IT???

[vernal kernel]

but other than rockets what is there

[robust inlet]

That’s what ALH is for

[vernal kernel]

thats what i am saying

[vernal kernel]

what is that

[robust inlet]

Autoloading Holster

Or similar passive reload perks

Shoot, swap off, shoot a couple shots with another gun, swap back, your rocket gets passively reloaded

[vernal kernel]

ok thats a perk what i said was, any other weapons than just rockets lol

[robust inlet]

Tractor Cannon, assuming you count GHorn as a rocket

Though tbf that job is probably more dangerous at times

[vernal kernel]

so you cant think of anything else than rockets

[robust inlet]

I mean stuff does exist, but learning how to use rockets is more important than cruching on stuff like Linears

No competent team runs LFRs except for the few encounters where they’re debatably more effective, such as golgoroth

And assuming you don’t like using rockets you probably also wouldn’t want to use a GL, much less play Trials for the only halfway decent one

[red igloo]

bro just use envious/recon/alh on a rocket 😭

plus rain of fire exists too 😭

[robust inlet]

You don’t need to aim for direct hits on most stuff, if you really struggle with aiming you can also spec into velocity with something like a crafted Apex Predator

[red igloo]

ngl the trials gl is goated, envious/bns and spike is amazing

plus you dont even have to be good enough at trials you just gotta be willing to play trials for hours

[robust inlet]

I’ll say that even with a non-spike nades roll it works really well, I find it competes with stuff like wolfpackless apex if I’m running stuff like Coil

Hell if OP owns SoDefiance the GL from that is honestly quite good as well, although it definitely won’t carry in endgame

[molten reef]

Whisper is better than levis now

And it’s not framerate dependent

[red igloo]

depends on the encounter

[wheat sapphire]

Nuh uh

Whisper 🐐

[red igloo]

you will use xenophage for dps NOW!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[molten reef]

it does not

[untold hamlet]

Cuz of the 15% sniper buff thing?

[molten reef]

Unless its a master raid and it’s void surge and not sniper overcharge or solar surge you should use whisper over levis

[red igloo]

rather use levi over whisper for chimera

levi celestial :3c

[molten reef]

Is that the final dungeon boss?

[untold hamlet]

Does whisper really do more dps?

[red igloo]

yes

[untold hamlet]

Than Levi now?

[molten reef]

why are you not using surronded gl for that?

[molten reef]

Yes

[untold hamlet]

Incredible, I dont even have the cat lole

[red igloo]

using that malf lucky pants for dps frfr

they should give whisper the taken damage buff that malf has tbh

[robust inlet]

Is the Ron Gl actually good for that

[molten reef]

it's literally the best gl in the game

[vernal kernel]

gl?

[robust inlet]

Girlfriend Left

Because I play too much D2

Jokes aside it’s an abbreviation for Grenade Launcher

Like how people say GHorn or Gally to mean Ghallarhorn, or LFR to mean Linear Fusion Rifle

[modern badge]

aegis spreadsheet says otherwise

it might be bc the optimal setup and shoot timing is assumed

but without that its at least next to equal

[molten reef]

it could be pretty much equal

but levis also benefits from high fps

[robust inlet]

I just don’t want to have to make a macro for frame perfect levi usage man

I don’t care if I’m throwing

[modern badge]

its almost like i said it would be pretty much equal even without perfekt setup

[vernal kernel]

so nobody has any suggestion thats not a rocket launcher

[rugged sky]

wow, its almost as if rockets are the undisputed meta right now (also there were some suggestions, good gls, or levi/whisper)

the latter only for specific bosses though like oryx, that have increased crit multipliers and suboptimal hitboxes for rockets

[robust inlet]

Tractor Cannon or convincing your entire team to run a subpar option that most people dislike using

[robust inlet]

Or really long damage phases like Ir Yut or Golgy

[rugged sky]

golgy can be nuked by rockets though, same as ir yut

though ir yut is a little annoying to hit, but thats with everything not just rockets

[red igloo]

just use a rocket cuzzo 😭

[vernal kernel]

no

their too hard to aim when bossess move around and not enough ammo

[untold hamlet]

use retrofit with fttc and target lock 🔥

target lock is very easy and fttc means u fire 300 bullets for a lot of dmg

[pine ember]

Is that Lucio from hit games overwatch 1 and 2

[pine ember]

Cataclysmic is a great solution for both of those

Linear are good for long DPS and easier to aim

From the Vow of the disciple raid!!

[robust inlet]

Don’t use cata

[pine ember]

They doesn't like using rockets for some reason

[robust inlet]

Please god realize that this guy needs to either learn how to use rockets or he needs to quit raiding altogether

[pine ember]

A linear is a good substitute

[robust inlet]

It’s a substitute, it’s most certainly not a good one

[pine ember]

He does but idk I felt bad

[robust inlet]

Loaf I know you mean well but don’t tell this man to use purple thunderlord

[pine ember]

Red herring is better then t lord

[untold hamlet]

my bro cant aim with a rocket or a lfr 😭 let him use purple tlord and get kicked out of every raid group until he decided to learn to "aim" a rocket

[pine ember]

How can you not aim a linear

You shouldn't play a shooter if you can't aim an lfr

His only option is to run well and ceno with div

[modern badge]

rather that than a linear

[untold hamlet]

he is toiler cleanner

[wheat sapphire]

“Hit game” and “overwatch 2” dont really belong in the same sentence

[modern badge]

run a ||strike||

[wheat sapphire]

Whisper best substitute

Me like whisper of the werm

[pine ember]

Shhh let me cope about onetricking Lucio

[red igloo]

genuine skill issue

wait for the boss to stop moving

[woven zodiac]

@vernal kernel literally just craft palmyra-b and taipan

[red igloo]

dawg delete this shi 😭

[woven zodiac]

He’s not gonna stop complaining about aiming rockets and I don’t thinks he’s good enough to get better linears

[modern badge]

not the taipan effect again

[woven zodiac]

So a rocket that aims and a linear that everyone has

[modern badge]

.

[woven zodiac]

I doubt he has supremacy

[modern badge]

that does not speak for taipan

[woven zodiac]

??

[modern badge]

my woring might be weird

i want to say that supremacy doing more doesnt mean he should use supremacy but rather tapian is bad

[woven zodiac]

What other linear does he have

[modern badge]

(dont use a linear)

[woven zodiac]

He’s not gonna change his mind about rockets

[modern badge]

yh wont change that a linear is litterally bad

he can run of to the boss and shotgun him

it would do more

[west sky]

Having to AIM?? To do DAMAGE?? In a SHOOTER GAME??

What?!!

[steel phoenix]

[merry arrow]

There's not many options. LFRs are the 2nd best with leviathans breath and whisper. Outside of that you very rarely have the option to use swords and/or Acrius

It's literally just those 2 weapon types and the occasional exotic outliar that dominate the dps meta

[robust inlet]

The dude doesn’t know how alh or recon works though, so he might unironically do better dps with a linear

[modern badge]

wait guys i found the solution

he cant aim at all

that is the problem

so he has to use osteo , final warning or like a sword

tractor cannon

some might say ghorn

[robust inlet]

Unironically if he just fired Ghorn into the skybox while conserving shots he’d help his team more than using a linear

[west sky]

Use the Khvostov-7G-O2

It’s the top pick in pretty much all speedrun raid teams

[smoky pilot]

me when i lie

[wheat sapphire]

Nope, its better thats all, if you dont use it you are dum and stoopit and shove pencils in your nose because you think its funny and will attract women

[vernal kernel]

lol

so many TROLLS

[pine ember]

Lucio if you can hit crits with Lucio projectiles then you can hit a rocket

[vernal kernel]

briars contempt for lfr and crafted apex for rocket

[untold hamlet]

have u tried damaged travelers chosen

[vernal kernel]

no

[untold hamlet]

ok lol ur missing out, i just solod the new dungeon with it yesterday lmao

its so fkn broken jesus

[merry arrow]

Only viable weapons outside of rocket launchers are LFRs, leviathans breath and under specific circumstances whisper

And the trials GL, but not many have that

[latent reef]

Viable and meta are not the same

[merry arrow]

LFRs are definetly not meta, that's why I said they're viable

[modern badge]

Whisper/levithans breath > linear

This troll thread is getting boring

[red igloo]

Queensbreaker better fr😭

[pine ember]

Fourth is viable

I think

I think the easiest possible way to do damage would be malfeasance and lucky pants

Or wardens law but I doubt he has either of those

[robust inlet]

Only if you have instant reload so rdm or rof ic dash

And even then on beefier bosses you just chip them a little and are useless

[pine ember]

It's viable doesn't mean it's good in all situations

[merry arrow]

yeah for the few cases it has, it performs good

[pine ember]

Idek what to use it got

For*

But I've heard it's used in DSC and echtar

[merry arrow]

Crypt security, Atraks (parasite is better), Hotswapping with rocket and sniper

ectar id use acrius over horseman

Supremacy+Horseman+Apex is a good short damage dump.

empty horseman, shoot supremacy once, empty apex and continue supremacy until apex reloads

triple arc holster reloads horseman during the sniper/rocket cycle

[pine ember]

This guy's only choice is rat king tbh

[merry arrow]

yeah i dont get what OP has against rockets, learn to pre-aim or stand close enough to not miss

[pine ember]

Use a linear at least

This guy wants a DPS weapon that doesn't exist

What has he said no to so far

[merry arrow]

rockets

[long oriole]

Taipan is the equivalent of hothead

Its good because its easy to get

[robust inlet]

Well I mean hothead was easy to get good rolls of now it costs 5 damn engrams to focus

[pine ember]

Ikr

Why did they do that

[molten reef]

@modern badge chat gpt recommended the whisper of the worm and izi for dps

Didnt say anything about levis

[modern badge]

me omw to hotswap izi and whisper

[molten reef]

Mhm

I dont think it would ever lie

[molten reef]

It also recommended to use gls for dps with spike nades

Such as the swarm

[wheat sapphire]

Whisper is life. Unfortunately i’ve yet to find it useful in strikes, pvp nor general play.

[red zealot]

TLDR and no troll answer

Apex is what most teams use and rockets are more optimal for most bosses and most teams using them want to stack them to get more out of g horns buff

Apex is craftable and easy to get if you farm kali if a boss is hard to hit or you do not like/are bad at aiming rockets the team will ethier run linars or if they want to run rockets anyway be the one to run g horn

g horn has built in tracking and your not expected to get high numbers with it if the team is running linears Briars from ron with surrounded is the best option for total damge but inconstistant due to needing ads

Cataclsymic from vow is the best option overall but Taipan is also a good option if you cant/dont want to farm Vow

The information above will apply for 99 percent of raid boss damage 😄 read/take this infomation if you want to and I would advice getting rid of this post so you do not get spammed with trolls

good luck

[modern badge]

me when special weapons straight up outclass taipan

[sage plinth]

supremacy with fttc and rewind rounds

[molten reef]

new strand fusion is insane

[vernal kernel]

this game is just kids and immature people

U can’t ask any questions without being made fun of

[vernal kernel]

Ok thanks

[red igloo]

actual crybaby 😭

[merry arrow]

400th message 🥸

[pine ember]

We ain't trolls this dude is he hates using rockets and linears

[warm depot]

nah boys can confirm this man is a troll

do not engage with toilet

[vernal kernel]

im not

i asked 1 question and said i didnt want to use rocket launchers

and 1 guy said i was trolling and now everybodys agreeing with him

makes 0 sense

[steel phoenix]

you said you wanted to use a trace rifle for a boss dps
that's def troll

[merry arrow]

You've heard the same answers a dozen times now, I think it should be clear on what to use

[vernal kernel]

ok i got that

but i was just talking about, what was said

rocket launcher is the best

[dusk copper]

if you need help with figuring out best dps weapons and load out's DM Me. I have a spreadsheet i made for that exact purpose.

[lean scroll]

Just look at aegis's spreadsheet for the meta for this season

[vernal kernel]

but u can only get in weekly exotic mission

[red igloo]

Do not use a mg for dps😭

[lean scroll]

Please never speak again 💀

MGs are awful 😭

[west sky]

trace rifle >>

[molten reef]

retrofit does really bad dps

you will do more dps with special ammo weapons

[long oriole]

This guy is the embodiment of a lfg

[west sky]

Pulse rifle thunderlord destiny dad gameplay

Eager edge = speedrunner and cheater

Rockets = try hard = kick

[lean scroll]

The unfortunate reality 😭

[west sky]

tlord dps

[vernal kernel]

may i suggest minecraft or roblox instead of destiny

[woven zodiac]

We don’t like their kind here :) we discriminate against dirty dirty speedrunners
