Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine Weapons to Farm for the Edge of Fate

Spire of the Watcher lacks a true standout to farm for in Destiny 2. With Long Arm and Liminal Vigil struggling to keep up, we recommend Terminus Horizon and Wilderflight.

Terminus Horizon – High-Impact Frame Arc Light Machine Gun

Terminus Horizon is not the best Light Machine Gun in the game, but it has handy perks. The best all-around option is Reconstruction and Killing Tally, while you can opt for Rolling Storm or Jolting Feedback for Arc builds. We recommend the more stable use case of Reconstruction and Killing Tally.

• Barrel: Fluted Barrel
• Magazine: Extended Mag
• Left Column: Reconstruction
• Right Column: Killing Tally
• Masterwork: Stability
• Origin Trait: Gravity Well

Wilderflight – Double Fire Frame Void Grenade Launcher

Wilderflight has many options for players to utilize. The one we recommend is for Boss Damage scenarios with Envious Arsenal and Withering Gaze. If you would like to check out the other options for Wilderflight, have a look at our God Roll guide for the Grenade Launcher.

• Barrel: Volatile Launch
• Magazine: Spike Grenades
• Left Column: Envious Arsenal
• Right Column: Withering Gaze
• Masterwork: Handling
• Origin Trait: Gravity Well

Ghosts of the Deep Weapons

The Ghosts of the Deep dungeon has the best weapons out of the twelve Rite of the Nine options. Cold Comfort is by far the most chased after, with No Survivors being a solid Solar option.

Cold Comfort – Aggressive Frame Stasis Rocket Launcher

Cold Comfort remains a competitive option for Rocket Launcher damage in Destiny 2. While Hezen Vengeance might outclass it in most use cases, the Restoration Ritual Origin Trait and it being a Stasis Rocket give it a niche that Hezen can not fill. Choose between Bait and Switch or Elemental Honing, depending on how you want to use the Rocket.

• Barrel: Quick Launch
• Magazine: Impact Casing
• Left Column: Envious Arsenal
• Right Column: Bait and Switch/Envious Arsenal
• Masterwork: Handling
• Origin Trait: Restoration Ritual

No Survivors – Aggressive Frame Solar Submachine Gun

No Survivors is not the best Solar SMG, but it is an option for players who do not have a Calus Mini-Tool. The leg up it has on Mini-Tool is the perk Heal Clip, which provides players with additional sustain. Attrition Orbs is a more utility-based option that players can choose depending on what they drop.

• Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling
• Magazine: Flared Magwell
• Left Column: Heal Clip/Attrition Orbs
• Right Column: Incandescent
• Masterwork: Reload Speed
• Origin Trait: Gravity Well

Prophecy Weapons

Prophecy sees one of the best perk combo weapons in A Sudden Death, but the rest of the pool tends to lag behind most of the other Rite of the Nine weapons. The Prosecutor is the most respectable of the other three options.

A Sudden Death – Aggressive Frame Void Shotgun

A Sudden Death is the only Shotgun in Destiny 2 with the perk combination of Trench Barrel and One-Two Punch. The combo is deadly for any players who want to utilize Melee-centric builds, which should become better in the Edge of Fate with the revamped Stats system.

• Barrel: Barrel Shroud
• Magazine: Assault Magazine
• Left Column: One-Two Punch
• Right Column: Trench Barrel
• Masterwork: Reload Speed
• Origin Trait: Gravity Well

Prosecutor – Precision Frame Arc Auto Rifle

The Prosecutor is not the ideal PvE frame Auto Rifle in Destiny 2. However, its Arc synergies make it an attractive option for players farming the Prophecy dungeon in the coming weeks. We recommend players choose Attrition Orbs over Dragonfly and then decide between Jolting Feedback and Rolling Storm, depending on their preference.

• Barrel: Smallbore
• Magazine: Flared Magwell
• Left Column: Attrition Orbs
• Right Column: Rolling Storm/Voltshot
• Masterwork: Handling
• Origin Trait: Gravity Well
