Linear Fusion Rifles are a hard-hitting precision-based Power weapon archetype in Destiny 2. They come in handy when taking down powerful bosses in PvE end-game activities like Dungeons and Legendary Nightfalls and sometimes in PvP activities.
As of this writing, LFRs are meta in Destiny 2, and you might want to use them instead of other Power weapons in end-game activities. If you're new to the game or are returning after a long break, here are the best five Linear Fusion Rifles currently in Destiny 2.
The Best Linear Fusion Rifles in Destiny 2 (2023)
Fire and Forget
- Used in: PvE and PvP
- Acquired from: Season of the Seraph activities and vendor
Fire and Forget is a three-round burst aggressive frame Legendary Stasis Linear Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2, first introduced in Season of the Seraph. The Field Perp perk and the Vorpal Weapon perk, when combined with the Veist Stinger origin trait, make it a great choice for running and gunning, and dealing high DPS to challenging enemies, including bosses in PvE activities.
Taipan-4FR
- Used in: PvE and PvP
- Acquire from: Legendary Engrams
Taipan-4FR is a precision-frame Legendary Void Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2. Like Fire and Forget, it also has the Veist Stinger origin trait. With perk combinations like Triple Tap or Clown Cartridge and Firing Line, Taipan-4FR becomes a great choice for Void 3.0 invisibility builds.
Stormchaser
- Used in: PvE and PvP
- Acquired from: Duality Dungeon
Stormchaser is the best Legendary Arc Linear Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2. Period. The Bitterspite origin perk solves the one issue every LFR has - increased reload speed. Combine this with perks like Clown Cartridge and Firing Line, and Storm Chaser becomes the LFR of your choice for any Arc 3.0 builds in Destiny 2's PvE and PvP activities.
Arbalest
- Used in: PvE
- Acquired from: Exotic Engrams
Arbalest is the most unique Exotic Linear Fusion Rifle on this list. The intrinsic perk, Compounding Force, allows it to shoot Anti-Barrier rounds and break the enemy's shields. Additionally, breaking enemy shields also makes them more vulnerable to Kinetic damage for a short period, thanks to the Disruption Perk.
All of this makes Arbalest a great choice for end-game PvE activities like Legendary Lost Sector, Grandmaster Nightfall, and more.
Cataclysmic
- Used in: PvE
- Acquired from: Vow of the Disciple Raid
Cataclysmic is a precision-frame Legendary Solar Fusion Rifle that you can acquire from the Vow of the Disciple Raid. Thanks to its unique Souldrinker origin trait and perks like Fourth Time's The Charm and Bait and Search or High-Impact Reserves, Cataclysmic becomes an insane high DPS Linear Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2 that you can bring into any PvE activity.
Honorable Mentions
Sailspy Pitchglass
- Used in: PvE
- Acquired from: Season of the Plunder activities and vendor
Sailspy Pitchglass is a precision-frame Legendary Arc Fusion Rifle that serves as a great alternative to Stormchaser. If it rolls with Clown Cartridge and Vorpal Weapon or Voltshot, you can take it for a ride in Nightfall and other PvE activities.
Lorentz Driver
- Used in: PvE and PvP
- Acquired from: Exotic Kiosk
Lorentz Driver is an Exotic Void Linear Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2 that works surprisingly well in PvP activities. Precision final blows create an implosion that pulls and damages nearby targets, thanks to the Em Anomaly perk.
Additionally, you can get increased damage for a short period with the Lagrangian Sight origin trait, which makes it great for shutting down bosses in end-game PvE activities.
And that's pretty much all the best Linear Fusion Rifles currently available in Destiny 2.
