Fallout Plays: The Worst Exotic Weapons in Destiny 2

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Destiny 2 has always been a game close to my heart, and the exotic weapons have always been a source of excitement and anticipation for me. However, after watching Fallout Plays‘s latest video on the worst exotic weapons in Destiny 2, it seems that Bungie needs to roll up their sleeves and get to work!


In Destiny 2, there’s a variety of unique, extraordinary weapons, each with distinct functions and aesthetics. But not every exotic weapon stands out equally. In a recent video, Fallout Plays discusses the least effective exotic weapons in Destiny 2 and explains why they need improvement in PvE gameplay. Let’s explore the shortcomings of these subpar exotics like Cold Heart and The Colony.

Key Takeaways:

  • Cold Heart, a trace rifle, has fallen behind in the current meta and lacks a strong niche.
  • The Prospector, a grenade launcher, struggles to find a role with its outdated perks and low damage.
  • Worldline Zero, a sword, suffers from ammo consumption and lack of utility compared to other swords.
  • The Colony, a grenade launcher, fails to deliver in both damage output and unique functionality.

The Weakness of Cold Heart:

Originally a top-tier Damage Per Second (DPS) weapon, Cold Heart, has struggled to keep up due to shifts in the game’s metagame and the arrival of stronger trace rifles. Its damage increase rate is insufficient, and it lags behind other weapons in terms of utility. A buff is needed to make it competitive again within the current Player versus Environment (PvE) meta.

The Struggles of The Prospector:

The Prospector serves a less popular function, as its performance is relatively weak compared to other options in terms of damage output and its outdated features. This makes it an unattractive option for both clearing obstacles and dealing damage (DPS). To make it a more appealing option among heavy weapon choices, it requires significant improvements or a complete overhaul.

The Downfall of Worldline Zero:

In simpler terms, Worldline Zero’s distinctive mobility features and teleportation capabilities are often overshadowed by other swords and power escalation within the game. Currently, it’s not very effective as a movement sword and falls short when used for clearing areas. To make it competitive again, it requires a substantial damage boost and a redesign to be considered a valuable exotic option.

The Disappointment of The Colony:

The Colony grenade launcher, which fires robot spiders, struggles to live up to its concept due to its low impact and limited ability to chain explosions. As one of the game’s least effective exotic weapons, it needs an increase in damage output, enhanced chaining mechanisms, and additional perks to become a desirable selection.
