THE BEST Alternatives TO META WEAPONS In The Final Shape Destiny 2 | Final Shape Weapon Guide

one of the biggest terms going around the destiny 2 Community is the word meta guns there are so many different guns in the game but only a certain few are the actual meta and these guns are basically the guns that players think you should be using otherwise you're pretty much bad at the game the reason these are the meta guns is yes usually because they do the most damage or they have the best perk set however there are plenty of alternate guns that can pretty much do the exact same thing minus a few per in damage or minus a couple perks here and there however these alternate guns can still be used in your loadouts to perform just as well as some of the other guns and just because you have this perfect God roll you still have to be a half decent player and actually know how to use it properly to take full advantage of the gun you could be a semi-decent player with an off meta gun but you could still be doing more damage than the average player with the god roll so in today's video I want to go over the best alternate weapons to use if you don't have some of the meta guns in the game now just a quick disclaimer these alternate weapons aren't the best weapons in the game but they're a decent alternative to use until you get that God roll meta gun in certain ways these alternate weapons won't be as good as the god roll meta version but they are usually very easy to obtain and great for your average solo player to use until they get the weapon that they want so anyway without further Ado let's get into the first gun one of the best and most solid hand cannons in the entire game that pretty much every second player seems to be using is the Z Bane now this is a solar crafted hand cannon from the Kings full raid and if you either haven't done the master raid and got the Dept version or you haven't got it crafted yet you're probably sitting there suffering and not being able to use a decent solar hand Cannon now the overall consensus of the god roll version of this is explosive payload and incandescent making it one of the best hand cannons in the entire game for massive ad clear now obviously one of the best alternatives to use in this case would be the sunshot however with the Z Bane being legendary there's a good chance you want to keep that slot in legendary and save your exotic for another section obviously the sunshot is very good but it's not my recommendation one of the best and easiest hand cannons to obtain that is very similar to the Z Bane is the ocle integration now this isn't a new weapon this has been in the game for quite a while now this one actually came out with lightfall so in order to get this gun you will need the lightfall DLC but I'm pretty sure most players would actually have this to obtain this gun there is just a short and quick Quest from Nimbus on Neptune just like the Z Bane this weapon will roll with incandescent and it is a fixed roll so you don't have to worry about any RNG luck just finish the quest and you get the gun the second perk on this gun is keep away which is pretty decent in PVE it's going to give you a bonus to reload speed overall this is definitely a solid gun and it's great to use until you can actually get that Z Bane crafted or you get the god roll Adept version one of the staple weapons in Destiny 2 is their SMGs things like the callous mini tool the iOS SMG or the recluse all of these great 900 R per minute SMGs have been reigning Supreme in Destiny 2 for quite a long time unfortunately most of these guns required you to play in a certain period of time to get them actually crafted and I still see a lot of people posting in my comments about not having these weapons crafted so don't worry I've got two great alternatives to use for these weapons one amazing SMG that has come out this season is the perfect pitch now this is this seasonals ritual weapon so it is extremely easy to get all you have to do is reset one of the seasonal vendors whether that be Vanguard Crucible or Gambit this is usually extremely easy to do I've done this already this season especially this week with double GM Loot and also XP it's very fast to level up now ever since I saw this gun actually up for grabs I have been dreaming about getting it it looks extremely useful and very fun to use in the first perk column I would definitely be running subsistence however in the second column we have the choice of either incandescent or Onslaught both of these perks are amazing incandescent would definitely be very useful for clearing out ads however Onslaught just increases this weapon's DPS by a lot it doesn't matter what you use whether it's Onslaught or incandescent this weapon is amazing and I definitely recommend you give it a try if you don't have something like the callous mini Crafter now the other SMG that I recommend you try and get is The Unforgiven now this weapon is dropped from Duality one of the easiest dungeons in the game to farm out when it's on rotation this is a void SMG so it works very similarly to the recluse there is an amazing perk pool on this gun depending on how you like to play you can use something like demolitionist you can pair it with Feeding Frenzy you can use frenzy golden trior Repulsor brace dragonfly whatever perk roll you want on this gun it pretty much has it overall this is just a great void SMG and I find myself using this from time to time coming up next we have a heavy weapon in the grenade launcher slot one of the best and meta grenade launchers in the game right now is The Edge Transit now unfortunately if you didn't play into the light or you missed out on a god roll Edge Transit don't worry there are two other Grand launchers that you can get right now that are still very decent they won't perform the same as Edge Transit but they'll get pretty close first of all we have the wendigo this used to be the best Grand launcher in the game and it is extremely easy to obtain all you have to do is get some Vanguard ingrams go and talk to Zavala and just buy one there is plenty of God rolls out there of this gun and it will perform just as well as a decent Edge transit in my opinion the best rooll for the wendigo is clown cartridge and explosive light unfortunately I am still chasing this God roll I still haven't got it but that is what you should be aiming for however if you don't like either of these perks that is all good there are still plenty of other perks on this gun that you can go for autoloading holster and Cascade point is another great combination that I would definitely recommend but if you want to get a damage boosting perk you're going to need to get explosive light either way this is still a very solid grenade launcher to replace if you don't have something like an edge Transit now another great option to use is the marilan C grenade launcher which is completely random well drop one role that I've had in my Vault for the longest of time is a Cascade point and envious assassin roll now don't get me wrong this is still a very decent grenade launcher roll and it will work very well for Boss DPS you can also go for an nvs assassin explosive light which is honestly very good with baen switch being nerfed down to 30% explosive light is 25% damage boost so you're only really missing out here on about 5% damage boost overall it's not that bad it's still a decent grenade launcher to use if you don't have an edge Transit jumping over into the rocket launcher category obviously one of the best rocket launchers in the game right now is the apex predator this weapon can be quite hard to obtain considering it comes from The Last Wish raid so if you don't like raiding or you just don't have one crafted for some reason it's all good I got some great alternatives for you starting the list off with the hotthead this is very similar to the wendig go just get some Vanguard ingrams and go and buy one one of the best roles for this gun is autoloading holster and explosive light this is overall still a great rocket launcher it's adaptive frame very similar to the apex predator so both Rockets will do very similar damage this is also a very easy role to use as it doesn't require you to you know proc bait and switch explosive light is just going to be there after you pick up an orb of power the hotthead is my first pick of weapons to go for however if you don't have this or you don't want to use it the Palmyra B is also another decent option now I will warn you this is a precision frame rocket launcher so this means automatically it does 5 to 10% less damage versus an Adaptive frame rocket launcher so just by using this gun it is a damage loss however it is extremely easy to use and it is craftable and you probably already have it crafted this is the same as the hotthead just look for an autoloading holster and explosive light roll or craft it with it and finally the last recommendation is the Crux termination now don't really want to recommend this one as it is a random well dropped gun and it can be quite rare to get the exact perk combination you need however if you do get the guard roll CR termination I would definitely keep it and definitely use it as it can still be one of the best rocket launchers in the entire game there's plenty of God rolls to go for you can go for clown cartridge explosive light EnV assassin explosive light reconstruction explosive light reconstruction surrounded there is plenty of perks on this gun that you could use and that can be very useful one of the highest DPS perks in the game is slid shot and it can roll on this gun however I wouldn't recommend using sluder on a rocket launcher you're probably going to blow yourself up starting to wrap the list up here another great hand cannon in the game right now that every person is using is the midnight coup this is amazing for prismatic as it is kinetic and it builds lots of Prismatic energy with an amazing perk pull on it this makes this gun amazing and I'm so glad I got my God roll however if you didn't play into the light and you missed out on this gun I have an alternative for you the fatebringer still one of the most staple and best guns in the entire game and also extremely easy to obtain before the midnight cou came in and took over as the best hand cannon in the game for kinetic the fatebringer was definitely in that slot and the fatebringer is still very decent one of the best roles on the fatebringer that you can get is explosive payload and Firefly making it a absolute Workhorse now if you can do the master vog raid and get the Timeless version you will automatically get this God roll however with vog being extremely easy to do you can definitely get this gun very easily however if you can't do raids I have another suggestion for you and that is the warden's LW now just like the hotthead you can also buy this one from Zavala in the tower just bring some Vanguard ingrams and you can focus plenty of warden's laws depending on the play style you like to use there is plenty of God rolls out there and different perk combinations this weapon is also kinetic so it's going to help you in building that Transcendence bar and finally I just have two weapons here to wrap the list up that I definitely recommend every Guardian tries and gets these are just two great and very easy to obtain weapons the first one is the heliocentric this is a well drop weapon and you can also Farm it in Lost sectors when it's on rotation this is an amazing side up to use in both PVE and PVP one of the god rolls that I have is incandescent and Hill clips making this an amazing PVE weapon I find myself using it all the time and another great weapon is the darkest before pulse rifle from the dungeon prophecy this one can also roll with heel clip and incandescent making it a great Workhorse for PVE content but anyway guans that will wrap the video up there thank you so much for watching if you did
