Like most other looter shooters,Destiny 2combines the fact that players get random drops with their ability to toy with builds and loadouts, customizing everything to a degree. InDestiny 2there are many layers to this, with armor pieces dropping with random stat rolls both in terms of total value and how that number is distributed among the item’s six attributes. Another layer comes from weapons, which all have a perk pool that randomly rolls four different columns and a Masterwork stat that is increased up to rank 10.
Other factors to consider when making builds and choosing loadouts include Exotic items, which are limited to oneExotic weaponand one Exotic piece of armor, and mods, which are acquired in various means and can be applied onto every armor piece depending on their elemental affinity. As such, it’s not uncommon to see players come up with greatDestiny 2builds that can one-shot bosses, even, like the popular middle tree Sunbreaker Titan build with Synthoceps, Tractor Cannon, and a One-Two Punch shotgun.

Another great Titan build that is raising in popularity is one that uses the Titan’s Peregrine Greaves combined with top tree Striker to deal massive damage to all enemies inDestiny 2’s PvE content. A Reddit user by the name of ShoulderDazzling8046 shared a video on the platform showing their Seismic Strike dealing over 568k damage to a single enemy inDares of Eternity, which is an incredible amount of damage. This was achieved by combining a few factors, such as Cryosthesia 77K and Focusing Lens, Arc Elemental Well mods and Heavy-Handed, and more.
This combination is lethal in all content, and it can one-shot all ofDestiny 2’s Champions with a shoulder charge, for which players spend their Charged With Light stacks to get melee energy back through Heavy-Handed. Well of Ions is an Elemental Well mod that makes Arc melee abilities deal extra damage, and it combines perfectly with Peregrine Greaves' bonus damage to Light shoulder charge abilities while used mid-air. This makes for a very valid alternative toSunbreaker Titans' powerful hammers, even though its DPS is much lower against bosses.
The plethora of balance tweaks made toDestiny 2go a long way in terms of character customization, and the shoulder charge build proves it. Other recent changes made to the game with the launch of the 30th Anniversary Pack also made something else possible, and that issword skating. This is something that was eventually removed by Bungie in the past, but now it has come back with a perk called Eager Edge.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
