Craftable: No

Reintroduced in Destiny 2's Beyond Light expansion, No Time to Explain is an exotic 340 RPM pulse rifle with a staggering TTK and excellent all-around stats. Rewarded for finishing Beyond Light's campaign, its exotic perk Rewind Again returns ammo to the magazine on precision hits, combining with Accurized Rounds and Feeding Frenzy to make one hyper-lethal PvP pick.

4 - Matador 64

Craftable: No

Another good special weapon option is Mindbender's ambition, a legendary Aggressive Frame shotgun. Originally a part of the Forsaken expansion, Mindbender's was reintroduced in Season 18 as a drop available in Nightfalls. Also available in its adept form via Grandmaster Nightfalls, Accurized Rounds and Snapshot Sights are a particularly potent combo.

2 - Rose

Craftable: No

Rose is a bit of a unique beast. A 140 RPM hand cannon reintroduced in Season of the Seraph, Rose breaks the mold by sporting the movement speed of the now-defunct 150 RPM hand cannon archetype, making it rather unique in the current sandbox. This weapon is obtainable once a week via completing three Competitive PvP matches in Crucible, with the first drop sporting it's initial, static perk set and the following drops being completely random.

1 - Dead Man's Tale

Craftable: No

Dead Man's Tale is an exotic 120 RPM scout rifle harkening back to Season of the Worthy. Currently obtainable for purchase from Xur, DMT is one of a handful of exotics that can roll with random perks. In addition to its intrinsic exotic perk and superb hipfire accuracy, perks to look out for include Accurized Rounds and Moving Target.
