In Destiny 2, some weapons have collector’s value and are incredibly rare. We have selected the biggest rarities from each category for you.
Here’s what it’s about: There are now over 700 weapons in Destiny 2. In this list, we take a look at the rarest representative of each category. We will explain why the weapons are so rare and whether these rarities are useful guns or dust magnets with collector value.
How did the list come about? To find the collectibles, MeinMMO sifted through Warmind.io. Thanks to the API interface, there are many details and analyses available regarding the Destiny universe.
Additionally, we used the database Light.gg. Registered guardians can rate weapons and indicate whether they have obtained an item. Keep in mind that not all players register with such a database, but the results provide a clear direction.
The rarest primary weapons of each category in Destiny 2
Primary weapons constitute the largest number of all weapons in Bungie’s loot shooter. A total of 7 categories are listed here.
The rarest pulse rifle: Redrix’ Claymore
Why is the weapon so rare? Redrix’ Claymore is the original top weapon from Destiny 2. In Season 3, the pulse rifle was a rare rank reward from competitive PvP. It can no longer be obtained. Ultimately, only 20,140 guardians managed to acquire the trophy.
To score points in the competitive playlist and rank up, you have to achieve win streaks almost without losses. Especially in the higher ranges, this task becomes very difficult, as only strong opponents face each other. With Season 4, Bungie relaxed the conditions, also because Redrix’ was so rare and hard to obtain.
Is the gun worth it? Since the weapon lacks a perk slot, it currently cannot really compete. However, there is a successor version: Redrix’ Breitschwert – and that one indeed holds up well.
In the upcoming Season 11, a buff for this archetype is on the way.
The rarest auto rifle: Dark Decision
Why is the weapon so rare? Dark Decision was introduced in Season 3 as a new Iron Banner weapon. At that time, the Iron Banner introduced the token system for the first time. One of the rewards from the packages was Dark Decision – the weapon has disappeared from the loot pool and has not been reissued.
Is the gun worth it? No! Even though auto rifles dominate the current meta, Dark Decision cannot compete at all. The weapon is not up to date due to its release date.
By the way, just behind it is the current Trials auto rifle of the Summoner (1.3%), which we recommend as a real alternative to the nerfed PvP tyrant:
The rarest hand cannon: Finite Impactor
Why is the weapon so rare? Finite Impactor is also among the Iron Banner weapons from Season 3. The hand cannon was then randomly rewarded in the token package and was not reissued.
This placement is a small surprise, as the top weapon Not Forgotten is only slightly behind at 1.2% but is miles harder to obtain. However, the weapon is currently still obtainable, unlike Finite Impactor.
Is the gun worth it? The weapon sits well in the vault, but you shouldn’t use it on the battlefield. Neither the archetype nor the perks currently justify its use.
The rarest bow: Silence
Why is the weapon so rare? The bow Silence is available as a top weapon from the Gambit mode. Here you have to score a number of bow kills and medals.
Although the weapon from Season 7 is still obtainable, bows are not favored by many guardians – this could be one of the reasons why not many pursue the longer quest.
Is the gun worth it? A clear recommendation cannot unfortunately be given for every guardian. Although the weapon is up to date, it pushes an unusual playstyle: The bow is fully designed for hip-firing – exactly the opposite of its precise counterpart species. If you master this playstyle, Silence can definitely impress.
The rarest scout rifle: Application for Coercion
Why is the weapon so rare? Application for Coercion was one of the Trials weapons from Season 3, which only 22,799 guardians own. At that time, the brutal PvP mode was quite unpopular and later went into hibernation for revision.
It took 2 years for the Trials to confirm their return in Season 10.
Is the gun worth it? Although the weapon comes from a very tough activity, it is currently not recommended. Upon its release, it couldn’t convince anyone due to its slow fire rate. The weakness of Application for Coercion is probably also a reason for its rarity.
The scouts have the first truly recommendable option at rank 7 with 3.8%: the ritual weapon Randy’s Throwing Knife.
The rarest pistol: Spoiler Alert
Why is the weapon so rare? The pistol Spoiler Alert was available in Season 3 from Commander Zavala. Interestingly, no hair-raising quest or particularly tough activity was necessary for this. You just had to spend tokens, increase your Vanguard rank, and hope for your loot luck.
Is the gun worth it? The lack of interest in the pistol speaks volumes. On Light.gg, the weapon was not even rated. In plain text: no recommendation from MeinMMO.
The rarest submachine gun: Application for Injunction
Why is the weapon so rare? Those who wanted to obtain the rare SMG Application for Injunction had to vigorously play the Trials of Nine in Season 3. Since then, the weapon has disappeared from the loot pool.
37,903 players fought their way through the unpopular variant of the Trials and have Application for Injunction in their collection.
The submachine gun Tarrabah is also the second rarest SMG in the game with 0.9%, and the rarest raid exotic overall – but in the eyes of many, also the weakest.
Is the gun worth it? Back then, the weapon could definitely impress and was a good choice. Today, however, every SMG has to compete with the Lonesome Spindle, which remains an absolute top choice even after its nerfs.
On the next page, we’ll continue with the rarest weapon in the entire game.
