☕The 7 BEST Season of Plunder Weapons

The Season of Plunder added some of the best weapons in Destiny right now.

• Best-in-slot DPS weapons

• Ridiculously strong add clear

• And a new perk that does BOTH

Today, I’m going to share how to get the 7 best weapons this season.

While still playing Destiny like a hobby (so your boss and family don’t hate you).

The 7 Best Season of Plunder Weapons

Outside of endgame content, these are the best weapons everyone should get. All of them are craftable, except Yesteryear. It’s so good that I’m actively playing Gambit (something I never thought I’d say).

1. Taipan-4FR

2. Brigand’s Law

3. Tarnished Mettle

4. Sailspy Pitchglass

5. Yesteryear

6. Ammit AR2

7. BxR-55 Battler

Taipan-4FR

Linear Fusion Rifles are the top DPS options in Destiny. Taipan-4FR is near the very top of that list. And it’s possible the easiest God Roll to get.

To craft your God Roll Taipan, head to the Enclave. You’ll be given a quest that gives you the Deepsight versions to craft. It’s a straightforward quest for a weapon everyone needs to have.

Here’s the God Roll you want to craft:

• Arrowhead Brake

  • Perfect recoil for easy precision damage

• Ionized Battery

  • Larger magazine size

• Triple Tap

  • More damage in-between reloads

• Firing Line

  • +20% precision damage when near 2+ allies

Every piece of content has enemies you’ll want Taipan-4FR in. It’s powerful against Champions in Nightfalls or Raids, minibosses in Ketchcrash, and bosses in pinnacle playlists.

And it’s basically handed to you.

Brigand’s Law

Voltshot is an underrated perk. Everyone sees how great it is for add clear, but it’s surprisingly powerful for DPS. I’ll explain under Sailspy Pitchglass.

Brigand’s Law is almost like a legendary version of Riskrunner. It’s arc chaining with Voltshot is more consistent than Riskrunner and almost as effective. This God Roll pairs perfectly with your favorite Arc 3.0 builds, but any subclass will enjoy it.

You’re looking to craft:

• Hammer-Forged Rifling

  • Range significantly helps with damage falloff

  • Controllers may prefer Smallbore for the added stability

• Accurized Rounds

  • Further improves damage falloff

• Feeding Frenzy

  • Faster reloads after kills

  • You may prefer Pugilist if using a melee build

• Voltshot

  • Huge add clear

This is a little harder to farm for. You’ll need to play Expeditions and Ketchcrash to get 5 Deepsight versions. Anecdotally, I got most of mine from progressing the weekly story quest.

With Plunder Umbral Energy, you can also focus engrams for Deepsights.

Tarnished Mettle

Tarnished Mettle is everything great about Brigand’s Law, but for endgame content. This Scout Rifle with Voltshot is shockingly good in Nightfalls or upcoming Arc Burn Grandmasters.

You’re looking for:

• Arrowhead Brake

  • Easies to land precision damage

• Accurized Rounds

  • or Flared Magwell for faster reloads

• Demolitionist

  • To fuel your builds with more Grenades

• Voltshot

  • Great add clear

Just like Brigand’s Law, you’ll be playing Plunder’s seasonal content. Each week, it’ll get easier to get Deepsight versions. If you play more casually (like myself these days), you’ll get

Sailspy Pitchglass

Most people are using the wrong roll. You probably saw the perk options and think Vorpal Weapon is the best. You may even think Voltshot is a bad perk on a Linear Fusion Rifle.

You’d be wrong.

Not because Vorpal Weapon is bad, but because most don’t know how Voltshot works. This perk applies Jolt after you defeat a target, reload, and then land a shot.

When a target is debuffed by Jolt:

• They chain lightning to nearby targets (after additional damage is dealt to the target)

• The target also takes additional damage when they receive damage

The second part is very important. Jolt works almost identically to Void 3.0’s Volatile debuff. On Sailspy Pitchglass, these extra ticks of Jolt damage add about 20% more damage.

This also stacks with all buffs or debuffs.

Don’t forget. Vorpal Weapon is only 10% on Linear Fusion Rifles. Joltshot is more damage AND the Arc chain kills nearby enemies.

Craft this roll:

• Arrowhead Brake

• Enhanced Battery

• Clown Cartridge

• Joltshot

Yesteryear

Yesteryear is the only weapon on this list you can’t craft. To get Yesteryear, you need to play Gambit. Normally I avoid this mode, but this Pulse Rifle has the best Void 3.0 perk.

Currently, the only Primary weapons in destiny that roll with Disruptor Brace are:

• Doom of Chelchis (King’s Fall Scout Rifle)

• The Hero’s Burden (Iron Banner SMG)

• Unforgiven (Duality SMG)

• Yesteryear (Gambit Pulse Rifle)

Disruptor Brace gives you an overshield when you defeat a Void-debuffed target. This overshield lasts for 8 seconds (9 with the Enhanced perk).

The best Void 3.0 builds are constantly debuffing targets. That’s a lot of overshields, even in endgame content.

Try to farm this role:

• Arrowhead Brake (use a Counterbalance mod for perfefect recoil)

• High-Caliber Rounds

• Subsistence

• Disruptor Brace

Ammit AR2

Solar 3.0 is still one of the strongest subclasses. Ammit AR2 is an extremely easy weapon to craft. While completing the quest line for Taipan, you’ll also be working towards crafting Ammit.

Why I’m farming to craft this weapon is I want Incandescent. In almost every season, Auto Rifles are given Overload Rounds from the artifact. It has the best Solar 3.0 perk and more range than Calus Mini-tool. For endgame content, this will be great to have.

Here’s the roll you’ll want to craft:

• Arrowhead Brake

• Ricochet Rounds

• Dynamic Sway Reduction

• Incandescent

BxR-55 Battler

This is my favorite Pulse Rifle in Destiny right now. It feels incredible to use, it has great versatility between short and long-range, and is perfect for Solar 3.0.

This is a tough one to farm, requiring Dares of Eternity completions. Unfortunately, there isn’t really much you can do. It’s so good though that I’m farming for Deepsights in between other weapons.

I’m looking to craft this:

• Arrowhead Brake

• Accurized Rounds

• Demolitionist (PVE) or Perpetual Motion (PVP)

• Incandescent (PVE) or Kill Clip (PVP)

That should give you plenty to do the rest of the season! I hope you have a good rest of your week.

Have you ever felt:

• Gatekept from endgame content you paid for?

• Anxiety and stress playing non-matchmade content?

• The best loot is unobtainable?

• You're wasting your time with nothing to show for it?

I will personally help you 1-on-1 get anything and everything out of Destiny. Fill your time with enjoyment and happiness rather than grind and uncertainty.
