Destiny 2: All Weapons of the Trials of Nine – How Good Are They?

In Destiny 2, we take a look at all the weapons from the Trials of the Nine. How powerful are they? What are the perks? And are they worth it?

Trials of the Nine takes place every week from Friday to Tuesday. Those who dare to enter this PvP event and achieve some victories can earn Trials-specific weapons, armor pieces, and shaders.

All weapons are designed in a simple, elegant style. The dominant colors are white and gray, with blue highlights in the form of circles on each weapon, representing the symbols of the Trials of the Nine:

But can these weapons be effective, or do they just look extravagant?

This question was examined by the weapon expert Mercules904, who amazed the community with competent and detailed “weapon breakdowns” back during Destiny 1. We summarize his findings in English and see how the Trials weapons perform in PvP.

Notes in advance regarding terms in this article:

• The optimal time-to-kill, or TTK, is the time it takes to eliminate an opposing Guardian under optimal circumstances in PvP, assuming that the opposing Guardian has 200 health points.
• The Aim Assist helps to make targets easier to hit (in simple terms, high Aim Assist enlarges the hitbox of the opponent)

Prosecutor – Auto Rifle from the Trials of the Nine

The Prosecutor is a legendary auto rifle in the energy slot. It has a rate of fire of 450 and a impact of 29. Therefore, the Prosecutor belongs to the same archetype as the Origin Story or Uriel’s Gift.

The range is very high, and the stability and reload speed are also above average compared to other representatives of this archetype. Downsides include low aim assist (44) and magazine size (32). Here are the stats:

These are the perks:

• Compact Precision: The recoil pattern is more vertical.
• Hip-Fire Grip: When firing from the hip, accuracy and stability are improved.

You have the choice between:

• Whoosh!: When you slide, the magazine is partially loaded, and handling and stability are temporarily improved.
• Just Tap: When pressing the trigger for the first time, stability and accuracy are increased for a short time.

Additionally, you can influence stability, recoil, range, and weapon readiness speed with the sights.

The Prosecutor is a top weapon in PvP, although it is overshadowed by the outstanding energy auto rifle Uriel’s Gift. However, for those who are unlucky and do not yet possess Uriel’s Gift, the Prosecutor is definitely a recommendation.

The optimal TTK is just 1.07 seconds, which is identical to the Origin Story and Uriel’s Gift. For that, 8 critical hits and one body hit are required.

The Prosecutor is strong not only at medium ranges but also thanks to the hip-fire grip at close range. When you take it into battle, you can’t go wrong!

On the following pages, we will introduce the other “Trials of the Nine” weapons. Next, we move on to the pulse rifle!
