Void weapons pair greatly with Void 3.0 in Destiny 2’s PVE. Here’s which Void weapons every guardian needs to have in their vault.
Void weapons have been the talk of the town for most of Episode Heresy, helped by the various artifact perks that directly buff them. In combination with the increase in weapon perks that directly interact with the subclass 3.0 verbs for Void, many players are beginning to realize just how strong some Void weapons really are.
This topic looks at twelve Void weapons that are the best of the bunch, comparing and ranking them in order of their comparative power potential. While some may fall off once the episode ends, all of them have several factors to them that make them well worth picking up for any player, and will serve all Guardians well going into the future of Destiny 2. 12
Anamnesis
Best PvE Roll: Repulsor Brace or Dragonfly and Destabilizing Rounds or Demoralize
Best PvP Roll: Hip-Fire Grip and Impulse Amplifier
Anamnesis was the first Void bow introduced into the game in quite some time, arriving with Episode Heresy. With the ability to roll Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds, this weapon can fit right into any standard Void build, utilizing Void overshields and volatile rounds to spread Void explosions after each kill.
Anamnesis can also roll with Dragonfly and Demoralize, which also work into the role, creating Void explosions and weakening surrounding enemies. If a player gets lucky, they can obtain a « holofoil » roll, which comes pre-masterworked and with multiple perk options. It can also be obtained as an Adept weapon, increasing its potential power even further. 11
Ros Arago IV
Best PvE Roll: Repulsor Brace and Onslaught
Best PvP Roll: Dynamic Sway Reduction and Onslaught
Ros Arago IV was one of the first Void weapons to show Guardians the power of the Repulsor Brace perk, as well as having the incredibly powerful perk Onslaught. While it was once a must-have, Ros Arago has been overshadowed by several weapons, mainly due to its inability to self-activate Repulsor Brace.
Despite this, it is still a decent weapon for most of the content in the game, only falling off late into the endgame. If utilized in a focused Void build, able to activate Volatile Rounds with its subclass, or Void debuff enemies in other ways, Ros Arago IV is still a very powerful gun that can pack quite a punch. 10
The Recluse
Best PvE Roll: Repulsor Brace or Subsistence and Destabilizing Rounds or Master Of Arms
Best PvP Roll: Threat Detector or Dynamic Sway Reduction and Tap The Trigger or Desperate Measures
The Recluse once ruled the crucible, tearing through Guardians with ferocious power. After its sunsetting, it maintained a legacy of terrifying efficiency, which many found lacking in its eventual return. Similar to Anamnesis, The Recluse can be obtained as a « holofoil », rolling with multiple perk options, as well as having a unique skin applied to the gun model.
For a standard Void loadout roll, Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds are available to similar effect as Anamnesis, with the added bonus of a faster-paced gameplay loop.
