🚀 Top 5 Weapons in Episode Echo: A PvE God Roll Overview

The introduction of the video explains that Episode Echo is coming to an end, and the host, Rick Kackis, is showcasing the top five weapons from this episode along with their ideal PvE God Rolls. These weapons are poised to be influential in future builds and metas in Destiny 2. The segment opens with an honorable mention for the Faithkeeper rocket launcher, which has excellent perks like Clown Cartridge and Explosive Light. However, due to the abundance of strong rocket launchers currently available, it does not make the top five.

05:02

💥 Lost Signal: The Best Stasis Grenade Launcher

The Lost Signal grenade launcher ranks fifth and is unique as Destiny 2's only area denial frame grenade launcher. It fires multiple projectiles that deal damage over time, similar to mini-Witherhoard shots. This weapon excels in crowd control, wiping out groups of enemies or securing spawn points. Its God Roll includes Autoloading Holster and One for All, making it easy to activate One for All by damaging three enemies. The weapon synergizes well with Stasis builds, providing high Darkness energy regeneration for abilities like Transcendence.

10:02

🔥 Martyr’s Retribution: Healing with Every Shot

Coming in at number four, the Martyr’s Retribution is a Solar wave frame grenade launcher with a rare perk combination, including Heal Clip. This perk, combined with Incandescent, makes it a powerful support weapon for healing allies while simultaneously dealing damage. Heal Clip’s buff provides massive healing for the user and nearby teammates, while Incandescent causes enemies to scorch and spread damage to others. The combination makes it an incredible asset for Solar and Prismatic builds.

🥊 Perfect Paradox: The Ultimate Melee Build Shotgun

In third place is the Perfect Paradox, a reprised rapid-fire frame shotgun from Season of Dawn. This shotgun shines in melee-focused builds, especially due to its combination of Pugilist, which grants melee energy, and One-Two Punch, which boosts melee damage. The weapon’s origin trait, Cast No Shadows, synergizes by reloading a portion of the ammo when dealing melee damage, making it extremely efficient for melee builds. Perfect Paradox is a top-tier weapon for any class that relies on powerful melee attacks.

☀️ Aberant Action: The Best Solar Sidearm

Ranking second is the Aberant Action Solar sidearm, one of the few rocket-assisted frame sidearms and the only Solar version in Destiny 2. The Aberant Action features Heal Clip and Incandescent, making it a fantastic choice for aggressive gameplay and synergy with Solar builds. Heal Clip keeps players alive with constant healing, while Incandescent causes enemies to scorch and ignite, spreading more damage. This weapon excels in most PvE content, providing excellent survivability and lethality.

🎯 Choir of One: The Best Exotic Auto Rifle in Episode Echo

At the top spot is the Choir of One exotic auto rifle. Although it's an exotic weapon, it has customizable perks through crafting, making it highly versatile. The rifle is extremely powerful, with the ability to melt enemies and bosses alike. Its catalysts offer upgrades to its intrinsic perks, such as increasing damage output and reload speed. Despite a minor upcoming nerf, the Choir of One remains one of the most efficient and deadly weapons in Destiny 2, especially if Void builds become popular in future seasons.

Transcripts

what is up guys it's your boy Rick cacus

Kus cacus and today with episode Echo

coming to a close very soon we're going

to be showcasing the five best weapons

from episode eeko and their

corresponding PVE God rolls if you are

someone who bought episode Echo this can

serve as a checklist if you have all or

most of these God rolls you could feel

pretty confident that your account got a

massive boost this season these are

definitely the five weapons and the god

rolles most likely to show up in builds

and in metas within the future of

Destiny 2 and so let's get started first

of all an honorable mention right here

uh and it's going to be for the rocket

launcher from this season the

faithkeeper this thing can get some very

good roles I mean clown cartridge plus

explosive light is actually crazy the

reason it didn't make the list is simply

because there's so many good legendary

rocket launchers in the game right now

you have the apex predator like if you

need a good one the faithkeeper is very

good and craftable but again it's very

crowded in terms of uh good rocket

launchers in the game now moving on from

there to spot number five and that's

going to go to the lost signal legendary

stasis grenade launcher now this is an

incredibly unique weapon it's literally

one of one the first and only area

denial frame grenade launcher in Destiny

2 so we've had the Wither horde as an

exotic grenade launcher that provides

damage over time these are going to

shoot like 10 mini wither horde shots a

bunch of different projectiles that will

provide damage over time when they hit a

surface so it has some advantages and

disadvantages compared to the Wither

horde but overall area of effect has

proven itself to be very very useful

within destiny too shoot this amongst a

group of red bars it can annihilate them

shoot it at a place where enemies are

spawning it's fantastic and when we take

a look at its God roll which I think is

going to be first of all autoloading

holster combined with one forall the

lost signal is maybe the easiest gun in

the entire game to trigger one forall

you just need to damage not kill damage

three enemies and when you're shooting

10 wither hord shots with every single

press of the trigger it is not hard to

be damaging three enemies like seriously

especially with the lost signal actually

and this plays into autoloading it will

trigger one forall off on its own even

when you don't have it out so you can

whip it out spread it over a massive

area of enemies switch to your other

guns like be damaging guys switch back

and often you're going to have one

forall active immediately and then you

can like shoot the other shots so very

very good not to mention the origin

trade is also going to cause another

damage overtime effect with the

radiolarian fluid when you get kills so

just overall incredibly unique very very

good and also especially good I found

when you're running Prismatic because

this is stasis it provides so much

Darkness energy because again you're

spreading a bunch of dot effects all

over the place you're essentially

shooting you know 20 guys at once

basically so your Darkness energy in

terms of getting Transcendence will just

shoot upwards with this thing it is

crazy but guys moving on from there to

the number four position we've got

actually another grenade launcher it's

the martyrs retribution solar legendary

grenade launcher now this is not going

to be craftable it's one of the reprised

season of dawn weapons so you just got

to luck out and get the god roll like

the good old days but man this thing is

powerful so it's a solar wave frame

grenade launcher and really the power is

coming from its God roll because no

other grenade launcher in the entire

game can get first of all heal clip with

a grenade launcher you are reloading

after every single shot so unlike other

weapons where you know you're halfway

through the Meg you get a kill and then

you're reloading on purpose to activate

heal clip you just use this weapon

completely normally you don't have to

change your gameplay whatsoever and

you're just getting heal clip activation

heal clip activation heal clip because

it is a wave frame grenade launcher it

is incredibly easy to get kills with

this thing and so heal clip is just

busted remember heal Club got a buff

somewhat recently it's going to give you

cure times two which is basically all of

your health back and it's also going to

give cure times one to nearby allies so

this is a great like support weapon for

healing throw on a warlock with Ember of

benevolence and you're triggering that

all the time it is fantastic now combine

heal clip with what I have here

incandescent so that when you do kill

those enemies they're now going to be

scorching it builds even more into

synergies within solar builds and even

some Prismatic builds not to mention if

you get a kill with incandescent so if

the enemy dies from The Scorch caused by

incandescent it will also count for heal

clip so you can reload after that and

still get the heal clip activation um

this is one of many potential God rolls

with this thing but yeah heal clip

finally on a wave frame it is

disgustingly good moving on from there

guys to position number three we have

another season of dawn reprised weapon

it's going to be the perfect Paradox

kinetic legendary shotgun so this thing

is unreal and this is a clear best in

slot in my opinion here's why so it's a

rapid fire frame shotgun and importantly

it can get well first of all pugilist so

in the left column it's kind of a

freebie perk with the scenario we're

going to be describing now you're

getting your melee back when you're

getting kills but then you have one two

punch so this is going to boost your

melee damage and there is a ton of

builds out there for all three classes

that require a onew punch shotgun to

function like you need a onew punch

shotgun to be doing enough melee damage

to make the build worthwhile so that's

already incredibly important but if

you're looking for a one-w punch shotgun

and you have an open kinetic slot I

think again the perfect Paradox is

literally the best in slot because again

you have pugilist but then you also have

the origin trait which is cast no

shadows and this is where things get

absurd because this says dealing melee

damage increases the handling and loads

a small amount of ammo from reserves so

let me get this straight you're using

your onew punch shotgun in your god tier

melee build and now when you're getting

melee kills you're instantly reloading

your perfect Paradox it's basically like

getting a free grave robber but then you

also o get to have pugilist giving you

melee energy so the perfect Paradox is

quite literally doing everything you

want for a melee build and so this is a

really valuable weapon to have for your

account because whenever there's a super

op melee build this is probably going to

be something people are running with it

now moving on from there guys for the

number two spot we actually have the

aberant action solar sidearm now this is

one of the only rocket assisted frame

sidearms in the game it is the first and

only solar one and this archetype is

insane like rocket assisted frame

sidearms from the indebted kindness to

the call and now the aberant action have

just been pillars of the meta they shred

they're fantastic so if you're going to

use a rocket assistant frame sidearm the

aberant action lets you use one with

heel clip all right I already busted my

load for how good heel clip was talking

about the martyr's retribution so I

don't really need to do it again heel

clip is god tier especially when it's

here in the left column like just

keeping you alive improving your

survivability so much while also letting

you get a right column perk that

increases your lethality and again with

the abin action similar to the Myers

retribution with its archetype with it

being a rocket assisted frame it's so

easy to get kills and so you're

activating heal clip all the time then

in the right column guys

incandescent so again exact same Spiel

with the Mars retribution you can now be

getting that increas in lethality by

covering all enemies around the guys you

kill with Scorch eventually you're going

to trigger ignition explosions and The

Scorch deaths will also trigger heal

clip like just overall such a fantastic

and Powerful package like just a busted

weapon arguably like the best solar

weapon in the game right now just for

general purpose what should I use as my

special right if I want to use a solar

abon action like for just running

through most things of content unless

you're like doing a raid boss DPS AB

action is just going to be so good it's

going to do everything you want out of a

special just unreal so how the heck is

it in the number two spot well coming in

at number one guys we have the choir of

one exotic Auto rifle now you may be

saying what the heck is an exotic doing

here I thought this was God rolls I

thought this was a legendary weapons but

I think the choir of one absolutely

qualifies guys because it is craftable

you can go back into the Encore exotic

Mission and earn three different exotic

catalysts for for the choir of one and

also unlock upgrades to its intrinsic

perk to be able to put on you know a

custom Barrel Meg slot and stock this is

incredibly important because the choir

of one I think overall is arguably the

best overall weapon coming out of

episode echos it absolutely shreds and I

don't think the community has like fully

realized just how insane ly powerful

this thing is because it came out at the

end in act three you know the game is

going through a lot of turmoil right now

there's a lot of people not playing the

game they're kind of ignoring the choir

of one but I mean as you can see right

here you can cheese Riven with this

thing like that is how much damage this

special weapon can do normally you got

to be all six Behemoth Titans you know

trying to get shatters or everyone using

the best swords in the game non-stop

this is a special weapon that we just

cheesed Riven with now you may be saying

well this thing is getting a Nerf isn't

it yes to the really up close damage

that's more than normal and also to the

reserves but that has nothing to do with

that cheese like we're pretty far away

from Riven we are not like Barrel

stuffing her so this just is going to

carry even through the Nerf r made boss

melting amounts of damage it absolutely

shreds in hipfire mode and when you're

not using it a hipfire mode even with

the uh ammo reserves Nerf coming it's

incredibly ammo efficient it just melts

most enemies you find in the game like

it is just such a powerful weapon and

then being able to put on you know I

have small bar here to improve the range

and stability a bit more uh flared

Magwell for the reloads and then you can

even get onslot which is going to

massively boost your rate of fire and

just let this thing cut through enemies

now after this season we actually have a

season artifact perk right now that

reloads auto rifles automatically but

after this season uh subsistence could

be a real choice to use with this weapon

as well but no matter what guys it is

100% worth it to go back into Encore and

unlock the different exotic catalysts

for the choir of one this is an

incredibly powerful weapon and like if

we ever see void as an element boosted

in a future season this thing is just

going to be like the only thing people

use like remember when it was solar that

was boosted and the sunshot was like the

you would just use the sunshot for

everything in the entire game cuz it was

so good that's going to be the choir of

one for void weapons like that's how

good this thing is guys that is it for

the video I hope you enjoyed and found

this informative if you did please
