Destiny 2 – One-Two Punch Perk, explained and guns list

Give 'em the ol' one-two.

With the addition of weapon crafting in Destiny 2, Guardians no longer need to chase down certain god rolls. Instead, after collecting enough copies of a certain gun, they can craft one and level it up to unlock the perks they're after. It's a different kind of grind that ultimately rewards Guardians with a custom weapon all their own. Some weapons, shotguns in particular, are highly sought after because of the One-Two Punch Perk.
