Destiny: The 12 Best Legendary Primary Weapons for PvP

In Destiny we take a look at the best legendary primary weapons for the Crucible. Which auto rifles, pulse rifles, scout rifles, and hand cannons should you rely on?

The Guardian Mercules904 is known for his precise weapon reviews. He regularly publishes in-depth review articles on PlanetDestiny, where he highlights several weapons of a particular category.

Now he speaks up via Reddit with an overview that is particularly interesting for fans of the Crucible: He presents three weapons from each primary weapon class that he considers the best guns in PvP. We show you his recommendations and provide perk tips for each weapon. This way, you’re well-equipped in the “Guardian versus Guardian” battle.

Note beforehand: The “Times to Kill” refer to Guardians with 200 health points.

SUROS PDX-45 – Pulse Rifle

Let’s start directly with a pulse rifle that not everyone might have noticed: The PDX-45 from SUROS. It is a “Pulse Rifle” with low impact and increased fire rate. The stability is very high, as is the reload speed. The aim assist is great at 70. However, the range is low. Here are the stats:

You obtain the SUROS PDX-45 through the gunsmith Banshee-44. It is one of the best all-around primary weapons in Destiny. Guardians waited for months for the gunsmith to bring a “God Roll.”

For the God Roll, you want an extremely stable pulse rifle: Perfect Balance is a must. Balance Modulation is also excellent. Additionally, the perks Enhanced Barrel, Smallbore, and High-Caliber Rounds are interesting.

SUROS PDX-45 can kill with 8 critical hits (2.66 bursts are required for that). A critical hit deals 25 damage, a body hit 17. The time-to-kill is 0.87 seconds.

On the next page, we continue with a pulse rifle whose time-to-kill is even lower.
