Every Damage Perk in Destiny 2 Ranked & Explained

2023 Armor-Piercing Rounds only 5% + now.....

i wonder how to memorize all of the perks

I like a Adagio on rapid fire weapons if I’m not using them for specific builds so it’s just the mindless spray and pray.

Missed off 'Humanised aimbot' S tier perk.

I think it's criminal that how long a buff last and by what percentage isn't in the stinking game. Or assigning a tier to the perk for PvP / PvE. So someone who isn't a hardcore player might have an idea of what the hell is good or not.

Forgot Killing Wind

I did the maths on Adagio, you actually lose overall DPS by about 15% so you're killing less over time the more you use it. Straight trash perk.

High impact reserves will always be my favorite. No thinking required. Works on every enemy and activity. And no timer to pressure you to utilize it quickly.

Golden tricorn is easy S tier perk in pve, really easy to proc 2x stacks with all subclasses since ability spam is meta.

Why didn’t you include eager edge 😢

Going Alphabetical Order on this video was NOT IT. If you're gonna keep mentioning certain Mods (Kill clip, Rampage, Whilrwind blade) THEN EXPLAIN THEM FIRST
Also separating the video in terms of General Utility Perks, Specific-Build Utility Perks would have been much better.
Like why TF are the sword perks not all together, and why are the Kill-Reload perks like Frenzy and Kill Clip not compared????

Why not put all the sword perks together?

so all the perks mostly is just damage boost... .... boring

I have a High Impact Sniper 4mag with Vorpal, another with High-Impact Reserves

Impact Reserves is better by far. Better DPS and WOW is can outshine all others except the 1 reason I don't use it:

Horrendous scope

What about Dragonfly?

Vorpal on kinetic is good ?

Disruption break is S tier?! errr that single decision brings into question your reasoning for the whole video for me.

Love this video so much it deserved a sub and notification bell on !!! As someone who is just starting to get into destiny and is trying to understand the game it's a massive help however i see some of the newer perks aren't in this yet for the season of the plunder an updated version of this video listing these new perks would be awesome to see!!! Keep up the good work my Dude. :)

Great job on the list, greatly appreciate it.

I disagree with explosive rounds being bad for pvp. It’s does damage for longer than it’s shot, the animation for the explosion takes long enough for your enemies to be left vulnerable. Also, I’m almost sure that if there’s people nearby they too take some damage. Besides the fact that you can shoot at the ground or walls near your enemy to hurt them or finish them off, makes it at least S-A tear for me. Imagine being rewarded for missing a shot too…..and the explosion finishing an enemy that happened to step on it while they attacked you, your buddies, or were running to safety. If a bow doesn’t have explosive rounds, I’m probably not using it for pvp or pve

I got my hands on a disruption break, autoloading truthteller with proximity grenade's & a handling master work & I partner it with my range finder opening shot high cal, dire promise.

Its to bad I suck at pvp and can't hit the broadside of a barn... hahah 🤣

One advantage of frenzy that you totally didn’t mention is it massively improves reload speed, which overall means you’re doing way more damage than just the 15%… this is basically “S tier” on SMGs like borrowed time that have painfully slow reload and a small magazine. With “kill clip”, you’re basically either dead already or your teammates have already cleaned everything up by the time that reload has happened and with a tiny clip, you ain’t killing much before that first reload…

Melee kill?
Powered or unpowered

You’re sleeping on One-Two punch in pvp. It’s god tier in slaying supers. I’ve canceled so many supers in pvp using 1-2

Sfa+ofa best combo.

You are crazy

My god

“You’re definitely not gonna get kicked from the LFG group just for not having Impact Casing”

Guess again. I was using a Palmyra with Quick Launch High-Velocity rockets and I got kicked for not using Impact Casing. I literally confirmed this by asking host why I got kicked and he said and I quote; “bc u didn’t have impact casing on ur rocket”.

Bruh, you put rampage as S tier and swashbuckler at B tier?? You got those backwards, my man. Longer timer with swash and you can still use a minor or major spec mod, and it's easy af to get a melee kill in pve. Paired with grave robber and you never even have to reload.

i wasnt a pulse rifle fan until i used the messenger with desperado. it was just so chef's kiss

He forgot dragonfly my favorite perk😔

I enjoy frenzy on my syncopation 🙏 allows for easy two burst and enables me to be a bit for involved in gunfights

Fantastic work ! Congrats!

Thank you very much for this well explained/detailed video. Especially since you give your opinion for both PvE and PvP.
I would just like to comment on Unstoppable Force and Golden Tricorn. I do believe they could be way higher in the list IF paired with a another perk, such as... Demolisionist (is spelled like that?). GT/Demo on that Duality SMG, with Voidlock grenade build is a lot of fun!!!!

@Pattycakes Gaming can you do this again for every seasonal update? Very helpful!

One day I hope I can get harmony vorpal on the enyo d so I can shred vehicle’s

I wince got a team wipe in gambit invades with lasting impression, took out three, missed the fourth shot and it hit the wall behind him. He tbagged and then, well, you can figure out what happened next.

bait and switch is actually 35%

What about adagio on a bow? It doesn’t seem to affect it too much for draw speed and it hits a lot harder

I thought the original ikelos shotgun in destiny 2 had one two punch instead of trench barrel... I remember melee attacking the massive ogres in escalation protocol on Mars then shooting and repeating until I got squished.

Imagine tarrabah with multikill clip

Harmony: “I’m going to put it into A tier”
Proceeds to put it in B tier
He also did it with headseaker

bate and switch C tier, no just wrong

OH MANNN! Do I have something to say about judgement with demo/AdrJ. It exists, true. But with a ~1/4 chance of it dropping, a 1/6 for the two perks, and the fact that it is from Kell echo means you have to:
1. Learn how to do the tunnel skip
2. Find a way to kill all of the psions which multiply back to full numbers if you miss even one (I think)
3. Find a way to reliably kill the boomer knights, that ummmm DO NOT MISS, while standing in the right spot, which will now be on fire, and then have only 1 of them being alive when you go for the double dunk (or dunk twice and thus nearly double the time per run) because if 2 of them are alive, they'll snipe you out of the sky.
4. Live falling down from the dunk, hope the boss doesn't back hand you to the moon.
5. Not ever get pushed off, or be able to sword swing back.
6. Kill the boss in either 2+ phases, with a team, or with Well of Radiance and luck that the boss doesn't decide to just walk out of it... and before he becomes immune
And if you did the little math problem I gave you, that gives you a 1/144 chance of getting a Demo/AdrJ Judgement. If you do the run 99 times, you have LESS THAN A 50% chance of getting it. and that doesn't even control for masterwork, mag or barrel perks.....

AND guess what!? It's trash. There are so many El Well mods that just beat it. AdrJ gives you 1/3 more damage, but Font of Might stacks with EVERYTHING. I don't know if you know this, but font of might has NO interactions with ANY other mod and works with ALL of them.

I have this gun.... I have a Demo/AdrJ Judgement. I farmed for it for 3 weeks. It has 86 kills on it :(

How are you going to forget about ap rounds also pierce 1 target and hit the guy behind. Add one-for-all and your off to the races.

There were a handful of times when u said u put a perk n a certain tier, but the animation showed the perk goin n a different tier. Lol. Not tryna b mean, it just gave me a chuckle
