Strand is all the rage, despite lackluster reviews out of the gate for Lightfall. As Guardians are spending more time with it, they're finding all manner of inventive ways to slaughter with it. Now that Strand weapons have hit the neon streets of Neomuna, Guardians are going absolutely crazy for them, even if they're limited in terms of variety. Here is every Strand weapon to date and how it ranks for its category (all ratings are pulled from Guardian ratings via Light.gg).
The Best Strand Weapons in Destiny 2 Lightfall
6. The Immortal / The Immortal (Adept)
The first Trials of Osiris weapons to make use of Strand, The Immortal has yet to be tempered by the fields of battle. We'll make sure to update this listing once it becomes available.
5. Synchronic Roulette
Synchronic Roulette hasn't done too much to wow the community, but despite this, sits at #2 of all 600rpm SMGs. It's not bad, but it's got a lot of stiff competition in the SMG pool.
4. Volta Bracket
Another craftable weapon and part of the Lightfall set, this stylish sniper rifle is currently #1 in the 72rpm bracket for sniper rifles. the biggest thing hurting this weapon is that it's a Strand weapon in an expansion when kinetic weapons do 15% more damage on non-shielded targets.
3. Circular Logic
Circular Logic is a Heavy Machine Gun that is chewing up the charts (#1 for 450rpm) thanks to one particular perk, Hatchling. Precision final blows or rapidly defeating targets with a non-precision weapon spawns a Threadling at the target's location. That's right, this weapon spawns Strand minions!
2. Perpetualis
Perpetualis is a craftable Strand auto rifle and part of the Season of Defiance gear. Not only is it pretty to look at it, but it can also be crafted with a ton of enhanced perks like the aforementioned Hatchling. It's been a while since an auto rifle has stood out like this as it rightfully earns the #1 spot for the 600rpm class.
1. Round Robin
One can never have too many hand cannons and Round Robin is another excellent addition to the burgeoning collection. As with any popular hand cannon, expect to see this one dominating PvP. It certainly doesn't hurt that it's currently ranked at #1 in the 120rpm category.
