Question What’s your favorite weapon loadout of all time?
What’s your favorite weapon loadout of all time? No worries about champions (assume your equipped weapons will take of them).
For me pre final shape was: witherhord, gnawing hunger and falling guillotine
Post final shape: Khvostov, last call, faith-keeper

Second this, perfect combo of close and med to long range combat, with a heavy hitting sword that spins!?! A Season of Arrivals classic that still had many moments of viability for me.

Oh mate. That brings back memories. Still My most used weapons according to stats.

Back when match game was in everything under your skin never left my energy slot. It was such a a good bow for its time and still holds up.

Caster frame Perfect Fifth Ergo Sum with BnS Apex Predator. It is incredibly satisfying to rotate between ranged ignitions and buffed rocket shots.
Top slot weapon doesn't really matter. I really like the new longbow, but I swap a lot.

u/Flaming_Pepperoni 1d ago
Verity’s/Grav Lance on Void with Energy Converter (x3 I think?). Man I miss charged with Light. It just felt so much stronger than the post Lightfall system. 30 second novas was so fun.
Honorable mention: Arc Hunter with Liars Handshake and Izanagi’s with Ikelos smg. God I miss Gambit

D1, fate bringer + sniper/fusion + gally. The standard load out for many.
D2 im not sure honestly. Never really had that staple loadout like above since I quit after vanilla d2 and came back end of s14 (though id hardly say im playing still since they're doing their best to kill the game)

u/Darthsqueaker 1d ago
Ticuu's Divination with literally any other solar weapon. It may not be the best, but it certainly is fun

u/Rixunie The Bitch is Back 1d ago
For solo? Titan with Ursa Furiosa, Cerberus+1, Void and Sentinel shield with unbreakable. I rocked Code of commander from launch until rework and when they gave me a mini shield, I was in heaven. I'll hold that line all day.
For teamplay? Speaker's sight with Gjally, No Hesitation crafter with Physic+The other healing one I can't remember the name of right now, and well of radiance. Heat rises+Hellion, phoenix dive, and healing nade. Just float around unkillable because regeneration x 2 and cure 3 with the lustrous armor.

u/Mean_Joke_7360 1d ago
Pre Final shape: Blast furnace with KT/rampage, Indebted Kindness with Beacon/Permeability (still the gun I have the most kills with) and Leviathan's on my void hunter.
Post Final Shape: Tinasha's with Impulse/Chill, Zaouli's with Incan/Payload and Queenbreaker.

My favorite set of items are the loadout I used for almost the entirety of Episode Heresy
Fatebringer (Timelost): Explosive Payload+Firefly Aberrant Action: Healclip, Incandescent Finality’s Auger
I used that with Speaker’s Sight for constant healing on myself and my team and I loved that loadout. Thankfully, Finality’s is featured, so I can still use it!

u/uNSentinel 1d ago
In the Forsaken era, after grinding both Pre nerf Breakneck and Loaded Question pinnacle quests, I feel in love with them right there. Paired with Pre nerf Lunafaction Boots, I just spray and prayed in all PVE activities, especially in The Reckoning. With the heavy that rotated occasionally, but mostly Two Tailed Fox. I miss the Forsaken era content year.

u/ArnoldSwarzepussy Vanguard's Loyal // Drifty Boi seems shady 1d ago
My old favorite PVP load out has to take the cake for me.
Dire Promise + Beloved + Tractor Canon
No hand canon to this day has ever felt as crisp and reliable as Dire Promise when it was an old lightweight 150rpm. OG Beloved with pre-nerf quick draw + snapshot was the most insanely snappy feeling sniper I've ever had in a first person shooter and the headshots were uh... Generous to say the least lol. Tractor Canon's hilarious boops and ability to knock people out of their supers was both funny as hell and legitimately competitive at the same time.
Put all that on top tree Dawnblade and you've got peak D2 pvp right there, full stop.

Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver (Reconstruction and Redirection up to 32 rounds). Gravaton Lance (nasty when its the piercing item). Corrective Measure (Rewind rounds and Firefly).
Throw in Armamentarium with two suppressor grenades and its a PARTY. Double the fun if its Mayhem in crucible, call myself the Fun Police and shut down all supers.

Cocytus SR4, Ex Machina, Dark Drinker, used in WotM. I liked this loadout since we could use a sword. Previously, raid loadouts were typically snipers and rockets.

Haven’t played anything past the campaign in EOF so I can’t comment on what the sandbox is looking like right now.

My loadout on strand hunter is
Nightshade (vanguard vindication, hatchling, enlightened action)
Ex Diris (with catalyst)
Pro Memorial (bait and switch, attrition orbs)
I love each weapon, sometimes I just use Ex Diris like a shotgun lol

u/Stray-7 1d ago
This exact thread is Destiny, to me. It doesn't matter how the game is doing, the community can always come together and just appreciate some of the fire work the studio has put out. Loadouts for some, and having an emotional attachment to their gear, is what kept us coming back year after year. I hope Bungie figure that out before it's too late. Thanks for posting!

Back before general armor mods(arc/sol/void loader), I remember using double bow loader arms with my archers tempo + rampage subtle calamity. I combod that with leviathans breath and that was MY go to for pit of heresy for a few months. That exotic didnt even have a catalyst at that time iirc.
Using my kinetic gambit shotgun for close range and the bows for ad clear/heavy hits felt so fluid. Parcel of stardust with rampage and the full auto version that actually sped up its rof was 👨🍳🤌💋

Tough one.. For me it’s Lodbrok and Without Remorse from haunted. Probably with Red Herring the rocket launcher, that things been with me for years lol. Lodbrok just feels too good and without remorses design is so wicked.. All the weapons from Haunted are, not to mention the armor sets… Never take the helmet ornaments off my titan.

u/Glaedien 1d ago
Forsaken era I didn't even want to run an exotic weapon. Blinding Militia's Birthright, Recluse, and Wendigo. Felt damn near unstoppable with code of the commander, although would sometimes sub out Wendigo for Tractor Cannon, Whisper of the Worm, or Anarchy.
1
u/Dumoney 1d ago
Izi hotswapping with Wendigo. Honorable mentions to Anarchy and Witherhoard for why I like this meta.
I always found the most fun DPS metas ask you to hotswap ( NOT LOADOUT SWAPPING ). Imo this meta felt like the precursor to DPS defining perks we have now like Envious Arsenal and Bait & Switch. This type of meta and these perks demand more from your entire loadout, not just your heavy. All 3 of your guns and all your abilities. How best can you push your loadout? When should you pop what? Thats the good stuff.

I returned to the game in season of the witch with:
Crimson
Envious/Controlled burst Eremite
Recon/Bait Apex
Lucky Pants solar hunter.
It just cooked... so hard... Still sitting at 30k kills, just mowed absolutely everything down. Haven't touched it since TFS gave us pris-hunter and all the pants nerfs but it was just juice.

u/BertiLux 1d ago
Oh god yes, from season of arrivals on, Witherhoard, Gnawing Hunger and Falling Guillotine haven't left my loadout for ages, it was so good. Gnawing Hunger only left the slot for the Ikelos SMG when warming cells were so strong, the other two stayed for a loooong time.

When I first started it was sweet business and the ikelos shot gun. Now, it’s whatever my newest favorite smg is and whatever new special completes the build.

u/Duublo121 20h ago
PVP, it’s Deadlock with CT+LW, Claws of The Wolf with HS+KC and Colony. An amazing shotgun, a hard hitting and satisfying to fire pulse, and a Heavy that I can fire off to the wind and get value from (though, this does change to Deathbringer on certain maps for the same effect)
PVE was Khvostov, VS Velocity Baton w/ Attrition + Unrelenting and Doomed Petitioner w/ PI/Recon from Heresy, though it’s quickly becoming my Arc loadout of Last Rite with FF/Recon, Theolodite with Recon/Voltshot and Queenbreaker, though I would much rather have a new anti-barrier kinetic primary
1
u/anismash13 15h ago
Favorite period will always be tied between my all fusion rifle build for reign of fire. I used vex mythoclast with it. But then the other load out would be my pressured precision, trust, dragons breath, Apotheosis Veil. Helped me get through most of warlords ruin solo.

During Into the Light, my peak loadout was Mountaintop, Graviton Lance, Edge Transit and Contraverse Holds.
I had 4 simultaneous vortex grenades on the field at one point. Purple every where. One shot minibosses with a full recombination Mountaintop. I felt unstoppable.

u/MandalorianGeek 1d ago
Honestly my build rn i think is my favorite
Mint retrograde, fighting lion, and the slammer
You got speed, burst damage, and the best exotic in the game.
This is probably only rivaled by replacing mint with mountaintop for more movement
