a couple of years ago, i did a video which went over the best legendary weapons in every slot, for every element for the average player in the average situation. today, we’re doing an update.
i stupidly left out energy SMGs in the middle, so here’s a text breakdown for PvE:
arc smg was split between ikelos (season of the seraph) and subjunctive (season of the wish) basically dead even, with noxious vetiver coming in 3rd (from episode 2). get jolt related perks.
solar SMG is still dominated by calus mini-tool (incandescent), but we haven’t had a ton of development there, so that makes sense. parabellum (world drop) came in 2nd.
void SMG went to the recluse (into the light) because it’s really all we’ve gotten that’s been a contender since funnelweb, which is still considered the 2nd best anyway because of subsistence/frenzy, which recluse can also get, but with other stuff available too.
intro – 0:00
kinetic slot – 2:30
energy slot – 14:09
power slot – 28:23

Mahees is underrated.
Thought I was watching an Aztecross video with all the mispronouncing 😂
IMO liturgy is better than lingering with slideways and blinding than lingering
called out lingering dread for chill clip + disorienting but not liturgy from THIS SEASON? liturgy is also a better frame for pve
Dam Datto i want to watch, but destiny is so over.
34:15 slammer with eager/cold steel has completely replaced my other half. Cold steel does decent damage with all the shatters while also being able to stun both overloads and unstops with a single click. It slows with a single light attack which stuns overloads and because it's a vortex frame the heavy attack hits enough times to freeze in 1 heavy attack for unstops. So it's imo the most versitile sword in the game, the ONLY time I ever use something else is on the first Salvation's Edge boss where I swap to Summum Bonum if I'm the only one using it(highest dps of a legendary sword but doesn't play well with 2 or more for some reason) or Guillotine with double damage perks if someone else is on the Summun.
Someone please give a text list summary.
If u want another community, Halo lnfinite would love to have you. It’s Bungie adjacent and the blueprint for postmodern shooting games. They need a popular workman who can bring attention back to Halo.
The community needs a hero. Someone they can rally to.
A Google sheets of this would be pro!
Still dont appreciate this Kept Confidence slander. Best 140 PVP cannon
When is someone going to tell him that Legato exists? 😂
Glad he at least mentioned Veleda my pick for PvP, embraced for PvE.
Fantastic video as always, only thing I thing is egregiously wrong is the strand shotguns. I actually think Swordbreaker is the WORST of the 3 strand shotguns and probably only won beause it provided easy acess to 12 punch before Perfect Paradox came out.
Good content
I can't believe that Datto wouldn't cover every single possible permutation and scenario into a single video so I could have my opinion delivered on every single possible permutation and scenario where legendary weapons are concerned.
Guy got lazy.
damn we are spoilt for amazing weapons now
We are in an ability spam meta right in pve alot of these primary weapons are so weak and not worth using what so ever
18:10 Manannan sr4 gang I see you, glad to see my year 1 goat still getting some love
Datto, forgive me if I‘m wrong. But I believe you may have forgotten energy-slot handcannons. And I‘m pretty sure it is a close battle between Word of Crota, and Zaouli‘s
Forthcoming Deviance is the best glaive in the game because of Demolitionist giving 20% energy back per kill.
This will be made largely irrelevant next week when the new season drops and better weapons arrive. I love and hate the chase. In reality, there's only a small number of weapons you need of each type and each season that comes along, a new weapons overshadows all others in that slot, aka power creep. There's a few arc sidearms but only 1 is the best, so why have the others? A "god roll" Timelost Fatebringer is harder to get than a Midnight Coup but MC has better perks AND an origin trait while Fatebringer has no trait, making Fatebringer the most iconic HC in Destiny redundant (leaks show VoG is being updated soon but still). You only need one kinetic scout, one energy scout, one kinetic AR, one energy AR in reality. Damage type is mostly irrelevant.
Me being the only one to vote for Seventh Seraph SI-2
Love these kind of videos! I hope your planning on doing this with exotic weapons! Would love to see it.
Wow great edit love all the graphs and perks pop outs
Demo wellspring on something new has been one of my favorite things recently, but i get why it wouldnt be a topic of discussion
Damn… i wish i would care 😢
Bro I just bought from Logitech two days ago why you gotta drop a code now 😢
Qua Xaphan not being mentioned on void machine guns is criminal that thing shreds if used right
The liturgy disrespect
at 13:45 I liked that 'who uses legendary bows lol' got a statistically relevant number of votes.
Love that type of content! I hope weapons will be again the center of that looter shooter game, for now we can spam abilities and generate transcendence with area denials..
People that use hand cannons in PvE and aren’t using the two-burst hand cannons are sleeping at the wheel. They’re beast!
I've been running a Deafaning Whisper with Ambitious/Rampage on my void builds for forever now. Volatile really pushes it into top tier
My opinion is here
Luna Regolith III from Vanguard has quickly become my favourite PvP sniper, it took seasons to get Snap Opening on it, but once i finally got a 5/5, it feels so so crispy, just a shame it was a massive pain in the ass to get a good roll on it
The 10 people still playing this game got some good options to use for this seasons reskinned pve activity 🔥
You meantioned Lingering Dread at 11:10 with disorienting grenades and chill clip (which I've been trying to obtain for a long time)
Well i just noticed in the season pass at rank 131, you can get Liturgy with disorienting/slideways/chill clip… Cheering!
I’m a huge fan of Lethal Abundance when it comes to strand ARs
Kept confidence so situational but one of the strongest weapons for strand builds when picked right
It’s👏not👏called👏kinetic 👏slot👏anymore 👏THERES ELEMENTS THERE NOW, call it as it is it’s a primary weapon datto. I know you the dad of destiny keep making this mistake imma make you my bitch
Any way to get a sheet / link to the poll results? (Would make it easier to go through a vault and see what can be done?)
Glacioclasm isn’t in the kinetic slot 10:36
Not sure if you are going to read this as i am a little late, but i think the format on these videos could be a little better. Separating the weapons into kinetic/solar/void/arc/strand/stasis is not very useful, there are not many moments where i wonder "i wish i had a void hand cannon now" versus "i wish i had a good hand cannon now". Talking about each weapon type as a whole and citing best options for each slot seems to me to be more useful, but i guess thats just preference
As someone who has farmed a judgment with headstone and a damage perk, I can confirm that stats alone make eyasluna the superior choice by a wide margin, even without an origin trait
And people say DSC is meh they had a gun in damn near every slot
Thanks so much to you and your community for putting this list together! 1. It validated that the weapons I already was using (and their rolls) are best in slot and 2. It helped me clear out my vault of weapons that I realistically was never going to use. Very much appreciated!
