With the release of Hard Mode Wrath of the Machine, all weapons are now available to use.Two years and four Raids later we have gotten our fair share of some beastly weapons! Of all the Raid weapons in the game, I think it is fair to say that the weapons mentioned below are the best weapons of their class regardless of relevancy. Raid Exotic: Vex Mythoclast (VoG) Scout Rifle: Vision of Confluence (VoG) Pulse Rifle: Steel Medulla (WotM) Handcannon: Fatebringer (VoG) Auto Rifle: Abyss Defiant (CE) Sniper: Black Hammer (CE) Fusion Rifle: Praetorian Foil (VoG) Shotgun: Found Verdict (VoG) Rocket Launcher: Hunger of Crota (CE) Machine Gun: Quillum's Terminus (KF) Sidearm: N/A (only one) Sword: N/A (none) Relic: Ascendant Sword (CE) Do you agree? Comment below! [b]EDIT:[/b] Out of all weapons mentioned above, the Shotgun was the toughest choice, as Quantiplasm is just a fantastic Shotgun and fun to use! Scouts were also a tough choice as both Fang and Chaos Dogma are also top tier Scouts. Vision seemed so much more useful with Full Auto when you wanted to be lazy, combined well with Zen Moment, had the some great sights and covered 2/4 forever present elemental shields at the time (Wizards and Centurions). The rest were pretty much clear cut winners in my opinion! [b]EDIT 2:[/b] Is Genesis Chain really that good? I thought it was just the Small Arms modifier blinding my judgement as it has been active in Heroics every week since the Raid launched. I haven't tried it in PvP on the basis of High Impact ARs being the worst weapon archetypes in the game currently. In all my Raid runs with groups from LFG I have rarely seen other's use it... Better try it again may have missed something. After Abyss Defiant, Anguish is trash and Epilogue was never really great in PvE like most HRoF AR's. As for Corrective Measure, I was never fond of low impact Machine Guns and assumed the community was not either as you rarely see anyone use them, may it be Patrol, Strikes, Nightfall, Raids or PvP. Quillum's seemed a more logical choice as it was basically the only MG used in PvP in Year Two. Cocoon negated MG's awful reload speeds in PvE allowing to continue DPS rather than lose DPS through reloading by switching/stowing. Still not saying Corrective Measure was bad though, I did use it quite often.
