In the MMO shooter Destiny the Trials of Osiris are currently running. Which weapons and armor give an advantage?
On reddit, there’s a player named SpiffyJr who enjoys analyzing statistics. He has his own database where he directly collects data from Bungie and creates statistics. He has some interesting numbers regarding the ongoing “Trials of Osiris”. These come from 400,000 analyzed matches.
Red Death is popular
Among the exotic weapons, “Red Death” is leading. “Red Death” is used the most by all 9 subclasses of exotic weapons. With self-healing after a kill, many Guardians seem to rely on “Red Death” in Destiny when the going gets tough.
The weapon also seems to work well. With every single subclass, players using Red Death have a better K/D than the overall average.
It is particularly popular among Gunslingers. 21.6% of them run around with “Red Death” and achieve a K/D of 1.13. This is a top value for K/D; such a good ratio between “kills and deaths” is also achieved by Blade Dancers and Voidwalkers with the pulse rifle. Defenders can do the least with it, achieving a K/D of only 1.01 with Red Death. Nevertheless, that is still above the class average of 0.94.
The Top 4 Most Popular Weapons in Destiny’s Trials of Osiris
The overall most popular weapons in the Trials of Osiris are:
- The sniper rifle Empty Gaze
- followed by Red Death,
- the Iron Banner pulse rifle Nirwen’s Mercy
- and the shotgun Conspiracy Theory D. This comes from a typical Vanguard quest that most Destiny players have probably completed.
