Destiny 2 is known for its variety of weapons and gear that provide players with an intense and exciting gaming experience. However, among the many Exotic weapons, there are some that stand out for their unusual abilities and fun usage possibilities. Here are seven of them that you should definitely try out.
Bungie, the developer of Destiny 2, has often distinguished itself through its creative firearms and designs for various Exotic weapons. There are now several weapons that can entertain the player with quirky, humorous effects or synergies.
- You can, for example, shoot real worms with a grenade launcher.
- Other weapons create black holes that suck your enemies into oblivion.
- Or you use the Exotic weapon, which is considered a toaster and fires fiery single shots.
These weapons are of course unique. But if you’re looking for a fun change or just want to annoy your enemies with unusual effects, then this list of the 7 funniest Exotic weapons in Destiny 2 is just right for you. And you don’t even need a crazy weapon glitch for that.
Withered Image – Trace Rifle
What can the weapon do? The Exotic, which is a trace rifle in Destiny 2, has a unique trick up its sleeve.
- When you land death blows with the
Withered Image
, you turn your victims into nothing less than Void Transmutation Orbs. - With these, you or your allies can then play an explosive basketball game against your enemies, but only you have the ball and the tricks.
Withered Image
So if you’re looking for the ultimate slam dunk experience in Destiny 2, you should get ‘Withered Image’ along with its catalyst and utilize its effects.
- You can execute both a light attack and a heavy attack with the Transmutation Orbs.
- Additionally, there’s the option to create a field with the Transmutation Orb that can repel and weaken nearby enemies.
Fun fact about this weapon: Those who use ‘Withered Image’ spend their Light for it. Or as weapons master Banshee-44 puts it in the lore: “It doesn’t use the Light, it consumes it. The thing has a giant appetite. It works kind of like a converter.”
The weapon itself was created from the Tree of Silver Wings on the planet IO. As one learns from the lore, it was one of the branches of the tree that was used for its creation. Additionally, it seems that not every Light bearer can wield the Exotic, like Commander Zavala.
The weapon may have already hinted in Season 11 of Destiny 2 that the Guardians of Darkness are getting closer, and some of them basically have no problem with it. The Darkness corrupts them, but they acclimate to the other side, so that they can accept more gifts it offers at the appropriate time. This more was then the ability ‘Stasis’ in the DLC ‘Beyond Light’.
Perfected Outbreak – Pulse Rifle
What can the weapon do? With this Exotic pulse rifle, you have the unique SIVA nanites on your side in Destiny 2. Through rapid consecutive hits and precision kills, these are generated and then track your enemies like grumpy bees. Moreover, you cause more damage to enemies that the SIVA nanites have attached to.
It might take some practice. But once you are familiar with this weapon, you will find that it can bring perfected fun to your Destiny 2 experience.
Fun fact about this weapon: The weapon is quite popular among players, resulting in some great fan fiction stories about it that even Bungie could not have written better. For example, on Reddit, a particularly plausible scenario around this Exotic weapon has been created.
It states: The city council of the Last City has repeatedly requested the Exotic weapon ‘Perfected Outbreak’ to be banned and destroyed. As long as everything functions normally, the excess SIVA and all particles that hover too long outside the weapon automatically destroy themselves and cease operation to compensate for the continuous nanite production by the engine.
However, there have been reports of Guardians who traveled with the weapon for extended periods, especially Exos. They experienced tingling in their neck, unusually vivid daydreams, bright lights of various colors floating around their heads, and a metallic taste in their mouths. Symptoms of a nanite infection that can spread through the nervous system.
There was also a danger to all life. Because if one were ever to forcibly remove the engine from the Exo, the SIVA nanites remaining in the weapon would enter an infinite replication loop and indiscriminately attack all organic life.
Thus, it was solely the intervention of the Cryptarch that prevented the ban and destruction of the weapon, since the complete mastery of the production and application of SIVA was theorized to be “the most unprecedented leap in human progress since the oil age.”
Workhorse – Auto Rifle
What can the weapon do? The “Workhorse” is a Gatling gun disguised as an auto rifle, meaning an automatic weapon with a rotating barrel. It is carried in the kinetic slot, and with it in hand, you don’t have to worry about anything more and can shoot seemingly forever.
When fired from the hip, the good piece is particularly precise, and its stability can be further increased. To get the most out of this weapon, however, you must hold the trigger down for a longer period. Only then do you reach a maximum fire rate of 900 RPM and can achieve a kill time of 0.53 seconds.
Fun fact about this weapon: Being on your way with this weapon in Destiny 2 is like it says: “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.” So basically the perfect tool to clear the battlefield for what feels like an eternity with a huge grin on your face.
With the exotic armor for Titans, the “Actium War Rig“, you turn the “Workhorse” into a continuous fire adventure monster. There’s hardly anything more satisfying than the constant rattling of this minigun as you plow through hordes of enemies. Works in PvP too.
But even if you’re not a Titan, just picking up special or heavy ammo will instantly reload this weapon.
Tractor Cannon – Shotgun
What can the weapon do? The Exotic weapon is a shotgun in the heavy slot and comes like an unwelcome guest at a party. It arrives unexpectedly but can shake things up quite a bit.
With it, you can repel enemies and simultaneously suppress abilities. In PvP, this means you can not only keep your enemies at a distance but also stop them in their tracks when they attempt to launch a skill counter.
But that’s not all – this weapon is also fantastic in PvE against minibosses and bosses. Again, it’s the debilitation that suppresses boss abilities and makes enemies more susceptible to damage.
Fun fact about this weapon: The name says it all. If you take a shot, it’s like being run over by a tractor. Using the weapon, there’s nothing funnier than when a proud Warlock, Titan, or Hunter, who just activated their ability or super against you in PvP, suddenly flies helplessly through the air.

has to do with the rabbits in Destiny 2.
