Destiny: Find the right primary weapon

In the online shooter "Destiny" the choice of primary weapon is sometimes crucial - but which primary weapon suits which player? We'll show you the perfect weapon that will help you get through the game more easily.

Reliable standard: automatic weapons in Destiny

• The automatic weapon is always a reliable choice with Destiny: it does a lot of damage, so precision is not overly important and, in addition, the weapon is always available.
• Exotic weapons such as "SUROS Regime" are considered "overpowered" in PvP matches, but this was adapted by Bungie in the last update.
• The automatic primary weapons still look good on small, fast cards. Even inexperienced players cannot avoid the automatic weapon.

For precise short-range shooters: handguns in Destiny

• The handguns in Destiny are characterized by high power and good precision. With just a few precise shots, you can stop any target before it can react sufficiently.
• If you shoot precisely and like to move on small maps, you can do a lot of damage with small arms. If you also use exotic handguns such as "Dorn" with their individual advantages, these weapons are difficult to beat.

For medium-distance and precise shooters: Scout and impulse in Destiny

• You should originally be able to use scout and pulse rifles on an equal footing with automatic rifles. Until the last update, these rifle classes were much weaker - but especially scout rifles are now on the rise. They are characterized by greater precision and punch, especially over longer distances.
• With the short bursts of the pulse rifle and the individual shots of the Scout Rifle, you fight very precisely and save a lot of ammunition. This is perfect especially in missions and raids and is now also a real alternative on larger maps in PvP matches.
• Insider tip: Try it with the legendary scout rifle "Vision of confluence".

Of course, you won't win a fight with a good weapon alone. That is why we have put together the best 7 tips for Destiny on the next page.
