With the release of Destiny 2, Bungie added a new weapon-type – SMG to the game. There are several new SMGs added to Destiny 2 since the release. Exotics like The Huckleberry, Tarrabah (added in Season of Opulence as a Crown of Sorrows raid exotic) and Riskrunner (Zhalo Supercell v.2). Earlier in 2018, Bungie started rolling out pinnacle weapons for the Crucible every season. Since then, we’ve received one SMG weapon as a pinnacle Crucible reward that’s probably the number one in the game right now. Below you can find the Best Sub-Machine Guns and Snipers in Destiny 2.
Best Sub-Machine Guns and Snipers
Sniper is one of those weapons that require legit skill to get a kill. Not everybody can use snipers in-game as their go-to weapon. There are several good snipers in the game right now on top of good SMGs.
Sub-Machine Guns
Back in Year 1, everyone’s go-to SMG was Anitope-D. It has a good roll with adequate range and somewhat poor stability (since its an SMG).
The Recluse/Antiope-D/Tarrabah
At this point, we all know that The Recluse is THE number one SMG in the game right now. It’s a 900 RPM weapon with a unique perk called Master of Arms “Kills with any weapon improve this weapon’s damage for a short time.”
On number two, we have Anitope-D. This SMG was hands down the best one in Year 1 of Destiny 2. With good rolls, you can wreck the enemy team with this weapon.
Tarrabah is a Raid exotic added with the Season of Opulence. It can be acquired from completing Crown of Sorrows raid (keep in mind, this weapon is a random drop on completion). The main perk on this exotic SMG is called Ravenous Beast “This weapon stores power when dealing or receiving damage. Once full, hold reload to unleash the beast.“
Snipers
Below you can find the best snipers for you to use inside the Crucible.
Beloved/Revoker/Alone As A God/Twilight Oath
Let’s talk about Beloved. This legendary sniper was released with the Season of Opulence as a reward from the Menagerie. This weapon comes with top-tier rolls like Box Breathing and No Distractions.
Second, on the list is the pinnacle weapon for the Crucible in Season of Opulence – Revoker. This weapon designed to be used only in the Crucible. With its intrinsic perk Reversal of Fortune “Missing a shot returns the bullet to the magazine after a short duration.” This perk is really good for the Crucible which makes this weapon one of the best ones in the game.
Alone As A God was released with the vanilla Destiny 2. This sniper comes with Snapshot Sights which is a must-have roll if you’re looking for a Crucible sniper.
These weapons are the best ones to use inside the Crucible depending on your play-style. Let us know if you have any more suggestion in comments!
