Destiny 2: 3 Best Weapons in Echoes

Originally posted on Total Apex Gaming | By Yusuf Haroon | Last updated Oct 2, 2024 2:39 PM ET

Destiny 2 released the first-ever Episodic content called Echoes, and it also released The Final Shape expansion. This Episode introduced many new weapons that rose to popularity thanks to their extremely good perk combinations. Old weapon archetypes as well as Exotic also received notable buffs. This list will go over three of the best weapons that dominated the PvE sandbox. Though it is hard to make a definite list, these three were the most popular during Echoes.

Outbreak Perfected

Outbreak Perfected is an Exotic Pulse Rifle that has no elemental affinity and fires at 450 rounds per minute. This weapon is one of the highest DPS Exotic in Destiny 2 and features primary ammo. This weapon was also made Craftable in the Lightfall expansion, introducing perk options and making the gun more potent. This weapon has the Intrinsic Trait called The Corruption Spreads. It allows the weapon to create SIVA Nanite swarms upon getting rapid Precision hits and kills.

This weapon also has an Exotic perk called Parasitism. It increases the damage of Outbreak Perfected based on the number of SIVA Nanites attached to the enemy combatants. The weapon also features the perk options of Headseeker, Rewind Rounds, Rapid Hit, and Outlaw. The weapon also has the option of an Exotic Catalyst which increases the damage of the Nanites that spawn.

Choir of One

Choir of One was released in Episode Echoes of Destiny 2 and is the latest Exotic. It is a brand-new archetype of Auto-Rilfe that allows the weapon to use Special Ammo. This weapon has Void synergy and is Craftable with the perk options of Destabilizing Rounds, Subsistence, and Onslaught. This weapon has dual firing mode which allows it to fire a volley of Void rounds when firing from the hip. This weapon fires single shots which deals increased damage when aiming down sight.

This weapon also has the Exotic perk Fanatical Lance which allows the rapid enemy final blows to deploy a pool of Radiolarian fluid. This pool damages all the enemies that are present inside and serves as a good crowd-control option. Choir of One is one of the strongest and most versatile Exotic that Destiny 2 has ever released and it goes well with every build across Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans.

Aberrant Action

Aberrant Action is a Rocket-Assisted Sidearm that was released as a seasonal weapon in Episode Echoes. This is the first ever weapon of its archetype to have Solar synergy. Solar is one of the most potent subclass with regards to crowd control and this weapon excels at that. This weapon is also Craftable and has access to some extremely good perk options. It also comes with the Origin Trait which allows the final blows with the weapon to create a damaging pool of fluid.

This weapon has 14 perk options. In the left column, Heal Clip, Ambitious Assassin, Threat Detector, Beacon Rounds, Field Prep, Pugilist, and Strategist are present. In the right column, the perks present are Incandescent, Reverberation, Swashbuckler, Demolitionist, Golden Tricorn, Harmony, and Snapshot Sights.
