Best F2P Exotics & How to Get Them Solo

there are tons of powerful exotic weapons in destiny 2 and many of them don't require any paid dlcs so in this video i'll go over the top 10 free-to-play exotics you need to get and how you can get them completely solo i'm marshyx and i make destiny 2 guides for solo players if you enjoyed the video please take a second to click like down below and make sure you stick around to the end to see the number one exotic it might just surprise you coming in at number 10 we have the sunshot this is 150 rpm solar hand cannon the only remaining 150 hand cannon in the game its exotic perk makes enemies explode whenever you kill them this makes it great for add clear and pve it doesn't stop there though if the explosion kills another enemy it will create another explosion and another and another as long as it keeps getting kills and it intrinsically has explosive rounds which makes getting body shots even more forgiving for pvp this is also a great hand cannon option look at these stats and as mentioned before this is the only 150 rpm meaning this has a shorter time to kill than any other hand cannon ace of spades get out of here thorn more like loser this drops randomly from exotic engrams whether it's from an enemy or zir the others are it also has a catalyst that drops from strikes or crucible this will increase the range by 27 and stability by 18. this is definitely a weapon you need to get for both pve and pvp unless you have this next weapon tolesto is an amazing option for both pve and pvp this has ruled pvp many times over the years and broken the game more times than you can count while it currently isn't the best option it's still extremely powerful this fusion rifle's bolts will stick to any surface and explode whenever anyone gets close you can use this to set up traps around corners or you can shoot directly at enemies unlike other fusion rifles its bolts will not have any damage fall off since the bulk of the damage is caused by the explosion of the bolts and not the impact this makes it possible to shoot someone from really far away and still get a kill as long as five of the seven bolts connect in pve this weapon is even better many red bar enemies only need one or two bolts to kill them so you can flail this around and get multiple kills very easily on top of that multi kills will make it reload itself and your kinetic weapon not to mention this season we have the particle deconstruction mod as part of the seasonal artifact this will make it deal up to 40 percent more damage against any enemy and pve this takes an already insane weapon for add clear and turns it into a high dps option much like the sunshot this will drop from exotic engrams so you'll need to either get lucky buy it from zur or stick around to the end of the video for the many other ways to get exotics to top it all off telesto has a catalyst that drops from legend and master lost sectors this will increase the magazine from four up to seven so you'll very rarely need to reload at number eight we have the outbreak perfected this is a kinetic pulse rifle that creates sieve and nanite swarms after rapid hits or after precision kills then you deal more damage to enemies with nanites attached to them so not only does this kill small enemies after getting head shots but it will take out magers very easily and even some bosses and champions this will even stack with your fire team members nanites which makes this weapon's damage rival some of the top tier special weapons i'll be honest this isn't amazing and crucible but once you do get it going you can have your nanites spread to other players and then take them out really fast this comes from the exotic kiosk in the tower it costs 1 exotic cipher and 2 ascendant shards you can get exotic ciphers from the season pass or from zur's weekly quest on the weekends for senate shards stick around to the end for how to get them very easily as a solo player this does have a catalyst that will increase the damage of your nanites even further but it's currently not available to get unless you unlocked it prior to the beyond light expansion don't be upset though because this next weapon on the list can easily take its place number seven is monte carlo i know monte carlo isn't usually considered a good weapon but people really underestimate the potential this weapon has firstly it's an auto rifle with the trait monte carlo method dealing damage with this weapon reduces your melee cooldown and grants a chance to fully recharge your melee ability after each kill this also has markov chain which gives it increased damage from melee kills and kills with this weapon a fancy swashbuckler so basically this is a melee focused exotic pretty much the only one of its kind alone this is alright but when you pair this with things like throwing hammer seismic strike smoke grenade or celestial fire things can get kinda crazy start a fight with your melee to get your damage bonus then as you deal damage you'll quickly get your melee charge back to repeat the process then you can use mods to further increase the build melee well maker can easily set you up for an elemental well build or even something as simple as hands on will give you super energy after melee kills and that's just scratching the surface there's so many combinations you could use this with so be sure to play around with everything if you do manage to get the monte carlo this will drop randomly from exotic engrams coming in at number six is the tractor cannon this heavy shotgun will destroy magers and clear out adds just as good as some of the previously mentioned weapons not only that but it will push enemies away suppress them and apply a 30 debuff to them so you and your allies can deal even more damage this makes it great against bosses with lots of health especially in those cases where you don't have a tether or something like particle deconstruction it also has an additional perk which increases your movement speed after getting a hit on an enemy you don't even need a kill this is great for solo players since you can run in apply the debuff then swap to a special weapon for dps or against champions you can deal a bit of damage then swap to your primary weapon and quickly melt their shields in pvp since this is a heavy weapon you probably won't use it too much but when you do it's great for destroying supers one shot will suppress them out of their super then a follow-up shot should kill them and against normal guardians you'll probably just push them into a wall and physics will take over this is once again a random exotic drop and it does have its own catalyst any kill in pve has a chance to drop its catalyst and it will increase the magazine size from 7 up from 4 and give you additional ammo reserves definitely a great exotic with some good versatility but it's not as versatile as the hard light hard light is an auto rifle that can swap elements by holding the reload button with this you don't need to worry about any shields getting in your way most of the time you can only have one element on your energy weapon one on your heavy and one on your subclass so getting all elements can be a little difficult also this season we have anti-barrier auto rifle so this can also pop barrier shields this is the ultimate weapon against shields and nightfalls dungeons lost sectors and any other activity with shielded enemies in pvp this is also a very good choice with the catalyst giving plus 18 stability it becomes very easy to control it also has another perk that i didn't mention it has ricochet rounds but better your bullets can bounce multiple times and whenever your shots bounce off the ground or off a wall those bullets will deal additional damage you can start a fight with someone then when they try to duck behind a corner you can shoot the wall and potentially bounce it around a corner and finish them off this used to be the best weapon and crucible but it has since been nerfed despite that it's still very powerful and worthy of its number 5 spot in this video you can also get this to drop randomly from exotics much like the majority of the previous weapons if you're enjoying the video a like would be very much appreciated number four is tied between two of the best exotic smgs those being risk runner and huckleberry risk runner is amazing when you have its perk active taking arc damage will overcharge this weapon to make its shots chained between enemies and never run out of ammo it also gives you arc damage resistance to help keep you alive and keep the perk going this is one of my favorite exotics for clearing out hordes of enemies but the downside is you only get the perk to activate against enemies using arc which can sometimes be a little scarce well don't worry about that because in situations where you can't take arc damage we have the huckleberry this is another great smg with rampage and whenever you get a kill it partially reloads itself and the catalyst buffs that even more by making each kill fully reload the magazine you can seriously never reload this thing and be perfectly fine this has so much synergy with rampage each time you get a kill you'll reload your gun and get a stack of rampage since there's never any down time you'll have a hard time not keeping rampage going so how do you get these exotics risk runner and its catalyst both come from the risk reward mission as part of the new light campaign huckleberry is a random drop from exotics and its catalyst drops from the end of strikes crucible or gambit matches getting into the top 3 we have whisper of the worm this iconic sniper rifle has had many names in the past black hammer black spindle and now whisper despite being a sniper rifle this is a heavy weapon so it's going to do a lot more damage than most other snipers its exotic perk is white nail this gives it higher precision damage and after getting three rapid precision shots it automatically reloads itself from reserves this means you can shoot it over and over until you either miss or run out of ammo even if you do miss it has mulligan to give you a second chance of hitting the enemy and to make everything better this has an exotic catalyst that further increases its damage after aiming down sights for a second unfortunately for new players this catalyst is not currently available to earn but the exotic does come from the exotic kiosk in the tower for an exotic cipher two ascendant shards and a few other materials but you may want to save those for this next weapon number two is the sleeper simulant you probably thought this was number one but it's not sleeper is a heavy linear fusion rifle that over penetrates enemies and splits its shots once it hits a hard surface this destroys everything it goes up against especially with the particle deconstruction mod this thing alone can melt bosses and dungeons and even destroy champions in one hit and it's not even bad to add clear if you shoot the ground in front of a lot of enemies the shot will bounce off and probably kill most of them in gambit this snipes other guardians from across the map since it deals so much damage per shot you only need to get a body shot from any distance to kill the other players and it's the same in crucible charge it up as you're turning around the corner and whoever you hit is probably dead just like the whisper this comes from the exotic kiosk in the tower it takes one exotic cipher and one ascendant shard this is currently a top top top tier option for any activity and definitely worth spending your exotic ciphers on however number one is another linear fusion rifle that can do much more i'm of course talking about the arbalist arbalist is a kinetic linear fusion rifle that takes special ammo this has the perk compounding force which allows it to deal extra damage to enemy shields and it gives it built-in anti-barrier this means you can run this alongside a pulsed rifle with unstoppable and a sword with overload and have every champion type covered this is huge for solo content or high level content with lfg players that you can't really rely on it also has disruption break to increase its own damage after breaking a shield pair that with particle deconstruction and you'll be chunking majors champions and bosses i was saying earlier how strong hard light was in activities with shields and this is one step up from that this also leaves your heavy slot open to something like a rocket or a sword or heck even another fusion rifle to double the benefit of your ammo mods in crucible this is actually really good especially on console it's very forgiving with its headshot registration and since it takes special ammo you'll be able to use it often and just a few weeks ago it was given a new catalyst this will give it genesis to reload itself after breaking a shield and regenerate ammo when shooting a shield so you'll be able to shoot an enemy break their shield and have a full magazine to dump into them with the damage bonus from disruption break what else could you possibly ask for if you're interested in farming exotic solo check out the video on the left if you need ascendant shards for the exotics in the tower check out this video on the right do you agree with this list let me know down below thanks for watching i'm marshx and i'll see you next time
