Destiny 2will see a lot of its current meta leaving soon with the departure of Season 9, as a lot of popular weapons, likesnipers, will be receiving a nerfonce the game’s next season goes live.
As such, fans have started discussing what new weapons will be on top onceDestiny 2’s Season 10 moves into full swing. One new YouTube video, in particular, kicks off a conversation by trying to predict what weapons will be the most optimal to use out of the bunch available at the season’s start.

As a disclaimer, most of these predictions apply to PvE and not PvP, the latter of which will be a big focus in Season 10 since it marks thereturn of the Trials of Osiris. The video, belonging to YouTuber Ehroar, provides an in-depth explanation.
Essentially, Ehroar predicts thatWhisper of the Worm, Wendigo GL3, and Izanagi’s Burden will make up the meta going into Season of the Worthy. All three of them share high DPS and cover the majority of situations and scenarios that most players would find themselves in during both six- and three-man fireteam events.
To go along with these weapons would be the Two-Four Punch combo, which is the One-Two Punch shotgun perk stacked twice. The One-Two Punch perk increasesmelee damagewhen all the pellets of a shotgun blast make contact with the target. The Two-Four Punch combo, then, involves shooting a target with one shotgun and then immediately switching and shooting with another before using a melee. The DPS fluctuates depending on the shotguns involved but remains great overall.
Outside of these weapons, honorable mentions include:
While all of these weapons are viable, they don’t surpass the combo and guns mentioned before them.Season of the Worthyis sure to introduce new exotics and legendaries throughout its lifespan, though, so whatever the actual meta ends up being remains to be seen.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
