Ranking Destiny 2's Revamped Prophecy Dungeon Weapons in Season of the Wish
Discover Destiny 2's epic marathon season with revamped Prophecy weapons, including the powerful Strand Pulse Rifle, enhancing your Guardian's arsenal with exciting perks and surprises.
Season of the Wish stretched longer than a Hunter's patience during a raid wipe, making it Destiny 2's most marathon season to date. In a bold move to spice up the grind, Bungie injected fresh life into the Prophecy Dungeon by swapping out three old weapons for shiny new ones while giving the remaining trio a perk pool glow-up. All six weapons now boast the snazzy 'Crossing Over' origin trait – a clever little bonus that boosts Range and Handling when your magazine's topped up, then flips to deal extra damage when you're running on fumes. Guardians diving back into the kaleidoscopic corridors in 2025 will find this arsenal both familiar and full of surprises, though not all treasures shine equally bright under the Taken-tinted lights.
6. Darkest Before: The Pulse Rifle That Can't Escape the Shadows
Poor Darkest Before. This Solar Rapid-Fire Frame Pulse Rifle strutted back into the meta with an identity crisis, swapping its Arc affinity for a fiery makeover and snagging perks like Heal Clip and Incandescent. Sounds spicy? Well, it's more like mild salsa. Guardians quickly discovered it's drowning in a sea of superior Rapid-Fire Pulses, like that one dancer at the Tower who keeps stepping on toes. Its PvE perks are decent but forgettable, while its Crucible performance suffers from a tragic lack of dueling perks. People Also Ask: Why use Darkest Before when Battle Scar exists? Simple answer: Don't, unless you're collecting dust magnets. It's the participation trophy of Prophecy weapons – nice to see, but you won't brag about it.
5. Adjudicator: Precision Frame? More Like 'Meh' Frame
Ah, the Adjudicator – a Kinetic Precision Frame Submachine Gun that tries so very hard. Its perk combinations scream potential: Subsistence and Frenzy for PvE ad-clear chaos, or Dynamic Sway Reduction paired with Fragile Focus for Crucible shenanigans. But here's the kicker: it's saddled with a frame as exciting as listening to Ghost explain Vex milk nutrition facts. For PvP? It's outgunned by every other SMG in the solar system. People Also Ask: Can Adjudicator compete in endgame content? Only if you enjoy bringing a spoon to a Shank fight. Solid perks can't rescue this clunker from mediocrity when weapon frames matter more than ever in 2025's meta.
4. Relentless: Strand's Answer to Your Pulse Rifle Prayers
Enter Relentless, Destiny's first High-Impact Strand Pulse Rifle, crashing into the dungeon like a Hive Knight at a tea party. This beast laughs at Crucible time-to-kill values, offering absurdly forgiving lethality with perks like Rapid Hit and Headseeker. Feeling PvE-ish? Slap on Outlaw and Hatchling for Strand synergy that spawns cute little Threadlings mid-gunfight. People Also Ask: Is Relentless worth farming? Absolutely – it's the Swiss Army knife of Pulse Rifles. Reliable? Check. Unique? You bet. The only thing relentless here is its dominance in mid-range engagements.
3. A Sudden Death: Because Everything Should Die Now™
Once an Arc Aggressive Frame darling, A Sudden Death now rocks Void affinity and still hits like a Cabal drop pod. Its PvP god roll – Slideshot and Opening Shot – turns Guardians into airborne nightmares sliding through corridors. PvE enthusiasts get Void synergy fireworks: Repulsor Brace for overshields or Destabilizing Rounds for chain-reaction explosions. People Also Ask: Is this better than Found Verdict? In Void builds? Unequivocally yes. It's the shotgun equivalent of swapping your bicycle for a Sparrow – suddenly everything's faster, louder, and more explodey.
2. Prosecutor: Zapping Its Way to Auto Rifle Royalty
Meet Prosecutor, the Arc Precision Frame Auto Rifle that makes Zhalo Supercell fans weep nostalgic tears. This newcomer dominates both sandboxes: PvE perks like Rewind Rounds and Voltshot create lightning-fueled carnage, while Crucible rolls featuring Keep Away and Target Lock turn it into a laser-beam menace. People Also Ask: Why farm Prosecutor?* Two words: Arc synergy. With Arc 3.0 still electrifying builds in 2025, it's the only Auto Rifle letting you cosplay as Emperor Palpatine while mowing down dregs. Its frame? Chef's kiss for recoil control.
1. Judgment: The Stasis Hand Cannon of Your Dreams
Behold Judgment, the undisputed king of Prophecy's arsenal! This Stasis Adaptive Frame Hand Cannon dethroned Eyasluna with perk combinations so filthy they should require a shower after use. PvE monsters adore Headstone for stasis crystal shatter plays, while Crucible sweats salivate over Slideshot and Opening Shot. People Also Ask: Is this the best dungeon hand cannon?* In 2025? Without question. It turns stasis builds into crowd-control symphonies and Crucible duels into embarrassing mismatches. Enlightened Action boosts reload speed after grenade throws – because nothing says 'power fantasy' like freezing a Titan mid-fist of havoc and stylishly reloading while they shatter.
