Four of the best power weapons from Destiny 2 have been put through a damage test. You can watch the clear comparison in this video by VeneroTV. Which weapon deals the most damage in PvE?
The well-known German YouTuber VeneroTV directly compared four of the currently best power weapons for PvE in a damage test.
The following weapons were used in the DPS comparison:
- The new exotic sniper rifle Whisper of the Worm (with and without catalyst). The Whisper sniper has only been in the game for a few weeks, but has quickly established itself as one of the most popular power weapons in Destiny 2.
- The exotic sniper rifle D.A.R.C.I.. This sniper was the strongest sniper in the game before the introduction of the Whisper of the Worm.
- The exotic linear fusion rifle Sleeper Simulant. The already known Sleeper from Destiny 1 is still one of the most popular alternatives in Destiny 2 when facing Yellow Bars or bosses.
- The legendary shotgun IKELOS_SF_v1.0.1 from the Escalation Protocol. This shotgun is among the most popular power weapons when fighting against Yellow Bars and bosses at close range.

All four weapons are arguably the most powerful representatives of power weapons for PvE. Which firearm has the greatest damage output in which situation and under what conditions can be seen in a detailed analysis in the video by VeneroTV.
