Beyond that, Forest of Echoes has quite a few mid to long-range engagements, so you’ll want to consider running Hand Cannons, Pulse Rifles, or even Scout Rifles to deal good damage from a distance. The second beacon is arguably the hardest part of this mission, so consider a crowd control build utilizing Stasis or some defensive subclass for this miss

Hollow Denial is a Void trace rifle that gains the Extrovert Origin Trait. Crafting it is the best course of action to gain access to some of the desirable Enhanced perks. Players should look to craft it with Projection Fuse, Light Battery, or Tactical Battery. For the two perks of choice, go for Surplus or Heating Up in the first column, then Killing Tally or Wellspring in the second column. Adaptive Munitions is also a solid cho

How To Get: Exotic engrams and random Exotic world drops

Some might gasp at the fact that the Prometheus Lens ranks this high, given how ‘common’ of an Exotic it seems to be. Just like the Wavesplitter, it can drop randomly as an Exotic engram, or from Xûr’s special weekly Exotic engram. Either way, it’s more accessible than some of the other weapons on this list, which puts it at an average position. Though it has seen some very niche use in PVP, like most trace rifles, it remains very much a useless weapon in difficult PVE and PVP cont

Damage the Ogre until the first 33% of its HP is removed. It’ll then go immune. Taken Blights will begin to spawn. Break a Blight to spawn a Taken Captain that, when slain, will drop a Taken Essence . Use this Taken weapon to break the Ogre’s shield. Repeat this process until the Ogre is sl

Best Roll: Shoot To Loot or Subsistence and Incandescent

Since it’s not an Exotic and not limited to a set of perks, there are a few rolls players should focus on getting for this Solar trace rifle. For battery, Projection Fuse or Tactical Battery are both great. Then, Shoot to Loot or Subsistence. And finally, for the last slot, Incandescent and Demolitionist are great options. It’s definitely a PVE weapon above all, and even then, it’s unlikely it will see much use given the weak state of trace rifles in the first pl

One type of weaponry that’s often forgotten among players is trace rifles. These weapons are so rare that all of them are in fact Exotic-tier weapons, found through various quests or through random Exotic engram drops. Despite being a bit niche, they are grossly underrated in Destiny 2 updates 2 , and some of them have surprising potent

**Updated October 26th, 2021, by Charles Burgar: ** The Forest of Echoes now has a Legend variant that can be cleared for additional season gear and progress towards the Realmwalker title. We’ve updated this guide to cover the basics of this Legend variant, including all modifiers present, the types of shields you’ll face, and which weapons you’ll want to bring to make this mission as easy as possi

Bungie added a second difficulty variant to Astral Alignment partway through Season of the Lost. Known as Legend difficulty, this variant features additional modifiers and a higher Power requirement. Clearing the Legend version of Astral Alignment has a higher chance of dropping the Ager’s Scepter Catalyst. Additional seasonal gear also drops from the final chests, although they don’t seem to drop with high stats or additional perks to select betw

Best Roll: Shoot to Loot and Voltshot

Path of Least Resistance was the first legendary trace rifle to roll with an Arc-specific perk, in the form of Voltshot. This perk allows the weapon to spread Arc jolting effects to enemies if the player reloads after a kill, arcing lightning around the battlefield and dealing large damage to a huge a

The Stars in Shadow is a High-Impact Energy Pulse Rifle that can only be earned from Crucible matches and Engrams. The Stars in Shadow has a massive perk pool that makes acquiring any one specific drop hard, but, luckily, there are many viable drops for this weapon. Since the Stars in Shadow is a High Impact Pulse Rifle , this weapon is going to find its best uses in PvP. However, there are still plenty of perks that make this weapon a great choice for PvE in Destin

Completing a Lost Sector in a fireteam voids the Exotic armor reward. As for the second point, Legend and Master Lost Sectors rotate their Exotic drops daily. This rotation is predetermined. If a Legend Lost Sector is dropping helmets, for example, it will drop leg armor on the next day. Drops rotate in this or

Vanguard Ranks refer to your reputation with Commander Zavala at the Tower. Playing Vanguard Strikes, Battlegrounds, and Nightfalls will increase your Vanguard Rank, allowing you to acquire Masterwork materials and Exotic Engrams from Zavala after you’ve reached certain ranks. After you’ve reset your Vanguard Rank once, all future rank 16 rewards will be one Exotic Eng

Best Roll: Reconstruction or Rewind Rounds and Incandescent or Target Lock

Acasia’s Dejection is yet another Solar trace rifle option, available from the Root of Nightmares raid. With the right setup, this weapon feels like a legendary Prometheus Lens, freeing up an exotic slot for something more powerful. While getting this weapon is off the table for some players, it is well worth crafting for those who can r
