5 Best Swords in Destiny 2

Game expansions are common in the industry. Developers use these expansions to launch new content and advance the game's thrills and excitement. Well, Destiny 2 is no different. The game features four-year expansions that have resulted in tremendous game changes, including a sword overhaul. The Season of the Worthy introduced plenty of changes to the online multiplayer first-person shooter game. The headline change is the array of swords players can now use to slash down the enemy.

While sword action may not be a favorite for many, Destiny 2 excels at the surreal action that leaves a satisfactory-Zoro feel. However, not every sword makes the cut. Only the best of the best can maximize your playstyle and let you emerge victorious. So without much delay, here are the five best swords in Destiny 2. 

5. Bequest

Are you looking for the best sword for PVE combat in Destiny 2? Well, look no further than the Bequest, a Legendary Arc Sword. Although the blade lacks an Adaptive Frame, it makes up for it with a high damage output and an excellent perk pool. Moreover, the Bequest stands out from other Adaptive Swords for its high impact rating. This means it's the only sword in the Adaptive Sword category that deals intense damage. 

Furthermore, the sword pairs well with the Surrounded and Tireless Blade perks. Aside from these two, you get an array of extras that also features the magazine and barrel perks. These perks increase the level of damage per strike for a victorious win. If you're looking to duel with the formidable bosses, you should consider a perk with Assassin's Blade. Moreover, you must defeat Taniks, the Abomination, to acquire this sword during the Deep Stone Crypt Riad. The sword is accessible after opening the Abomination Spoils Chest. However, you can only open it after taking down Taniks. So brace yourself for heavy combat with a great reward.

4. Black Talon

The Black Talon is one of the most potent exotic weapons in Destiny 2. It's suitable for defensive attacks. Moreover, it can launch void projectiles that maim the enemy at a distance. Although it's rare for this sword to drop, it has unmatched guard stats and deals an intense amount of damage to your foes. Also, when players block an attack, the sword's catalyst gives you a similar perk during a counterattack.

The sword's stats match up to the Temptation Hook's long-range slash. This means you can play defense and launch a gruesome attack from a distance. However, there is a downside to wielding the sword- it takes up the Exotic slot with no option for rerolls. To unlock the sword's maximum ability, you need to obtain the catalysts, which let you harvest and convert blocked energy into a powerful damage output. The blade is an excellent choice for PvP combat, and you can access it by buying it from Xur or receiving it as an exotic engram drop.

3. Razor's Edge

If the Falling Guillotine was your favorite, you need to upgrade to the better version of it – Razor's Edge. The two swords belong to the same Legendary class. However, the Razor's edge outmatches the falling guillotine in unfathomable ways. For starters, the blades require heavy ammo and expend void damage. Combining the Chain Reaction and Wellspring perks, you get a worthwhile battle companion that proves helpful in tricky situations. 

Moreover, if you're a fan of the Star Wars franchise, you'll enjoy wielding this sword since it resembles a lightsaber. The Razor's Edge is a fantastic option for killing swarms of red bars and majors, which in return grants you ability energy. To acquire this weapon, you need to complete the Iron Banner matches as well as open the Iron Engrams you earn from Lord Saladin.

2. Solar's Scar

Making its debut in “Season of the Chosen,” this legendary Solar Sword deals solar damage to your opponent with its heavy attack. It's no surprise that it presents itself as an amplified version of Temptation’s Hook. The blade has the ability to launch Warmind Cells when you pair it with the Wrath of Rasputin mod. You can acquire this Caster Frame Heavy blade from the Trails of Osiris. Moreover, you can also obtain an adept version of this blade from the Flawless Chest accessible at the Lighthouse. The Adept version allows you to equip the sword with Adept mods and has extra stats. 

An exciting stat the Solar's Scar beholds is an explosive and gruesome reaction of the enemy after a light or heavy attack. This is thanks to the Chain Reaction perks, which can take out a hoard of enemies. The blade impressively excels at both PvP and PvE combat. Beyond the impressive stats, the weapon embodies a luxurious aesthetic appeal with its black and gold color. 

1. The Lament

The ultimate winner in the best swords in Destiny 2 category is The Lament. The exotic sword previously featured in Warhammer 40K, and now Destiny 2 fans can relish its intense raw damage output. The stats on this sword exceed all other blades in the game's lineup. For starters, it can deal Solar damage. Moreover, it also possesses anti-barrier capabilities, which means it can destroy and bypass energy shields. The anti-barrier chainsaw sword lets you block attacks, which causes it to rev up and unleash light attacks. Upgrading this perk nine times lets you launch heavy attacks to stop charges that eventually deal intense damage to your enemies. This type of attack deals ludicrous damage to tough bosses, taking more than a quarter from their health bar. 

Although the weapon calls for close combat, you can pair it with healing or damage resistance, allowing you to heal continuously. Furthermore, acquiring the sword involves an intense and fun mission. You don't want to miss out on that.
