Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron:

Following are the Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron. The following article is organized by Vendor instead of a weapon type. The weapons listed below are among the better weapons available, so we will not discuss things that doesn’t impress or lead to immediate buy or may be require more testing.

The First Vendor is Vanguard QuarterMaster. Vanguard QuarterMaster Vendor brought some great stuff such as ‘BoneKruscher’, ‘Disassembly Required’ and ‘Angel’s Advocate’.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – BoneKruscher (Machine Gun):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - BONEKRUSCHER

BONEKRUSCHER heavy machine gun will going to be a solid choice with ‘Disassembly Required’ and ‘Angel’s Advocate’ being potentially interesting. BONEKRUSCHER is a stupidly hard hitting machine gun with great PVE bonuses. It has a 350 attack and requires level 40. Its notable perks are:

  • Feeding Frenzy
  • Spray and Play
  • Crowd Control

It’s Stability is total garbage but considering how slow it’ll fire, it should be manageable to control and you’ll probably be using Hand-laid Stock anyway. 25 in the Magazine is a little bit weak but considering the firepower, it’s understandable.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Disassembly Required (Rocket Launcher):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Disassembly Required

 Disassembly Required Rocket Launcher has a nice suit of bonuses. Disassembly Required also has a 350 Attack and it requires a level 40. Disassembly Required is lacking in velocity, so I do not know how much you should trust it in PVP, but in PVE it should serve pretty well if you need a rocket launcher. Its perks include:

  • Tripod
  • Spray and Play
  • Field Scout
  • Hard Launch

You can carry great amount of rockets and ammo thanks to Field Scout perk.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Angel’s Advocate (Scout Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Angel's Advocate

Angel’s Advocate is a MIDA archetype scout rifle as it has the same rate of fire and impact as MIDA which hasn’t been terribly common. MIDA is pretty good in PVE and the bonuses here in Angel’s Advocate Outlaw and Reactive Reload pair pretty nicely with  each other given what they do. However, there’s a lot of scout rifle competition out there as now as I’ll discuss later in the article. Perhaps some more tests are require before coming to a better conclusion. Angel’s Advocate has some potential, it includes the following notable perks:

  • Explosive Round
  • Reactive Reload
  • OutLaw
  • SmallBore

The 2nd Vendor is Dead Orbit. Dead Orbit Vendor brought some good stuff like ‘KeyStone 01’ and ‘Last-Ditch 001’.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – KeyStone 01 (Scout Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - KeyStone 01

KeyStone 01 is a slower firing scout rifle. It has higher damage and great PVE bonuses. This thing will definitely be a very reliable PVE damage dealer. It has almost like a hand cannon damage with a solid magazine size for its archetype. Its notable perks are:

  • Triple Tap
  • Extended Mag
  • Crowd Control
  • Perfect Balance

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Last-Ditch 001 (Shotgun):

Next we have that may end up being the Shotgun that drive everyone crazy this year, the Last-Ditch 001. It comes with RangeFinder and Hammer Forged with Quick Draw that let’s you swap that quicker to blast someone’s in the face.

Last-Ditch 001 has some extra range potential with Soft Ballistics and CQB Ballistics. Last-Ditch 001 is a potential crucible nightmare. Its notable perks are:

  • RangeFinder
  • Hammer Forged
  • Quick Draw
  • Soft Ballistics
  • CQB Ballistics

The 3rd Vendor is Future War Cult. Future War Cult Vendor also brought some amazing stuff with ‘The Wounded’.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - The Wounded

Future War Cult also bring some scout rifle power with The Wounded, a classic 37 (Rate of Fire) 48 (Impact) variety scout. It comes with Zen Moment, OutLaw and High Caliber Rounds. A very reliable scout rifle, Zen Moment will really keep you steady while OutLaw make sure you’re constantly shooting. This will be a nice PVE tool for basically anyone. Its notable perks include:

  •  Zen Moment
  • OutLaw
  • High Caliber Rounds
  • Perfect Balance

The 4th Vendor is Crucible QuarterMaster. Crucible QuarterMaster Vendor also brought some awesome stuff such as ‘The PalinDrome’, ‘Event Horizon’, ‘Chaotic Neutral’, ‘Zero-Day Dilemma’, ‘The Hero Formula’ and ‘Something Wicked’.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – The PalinDrome (Hand Cannon):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - The PalinDrome

The PalinDrome is probably number one on this list with a lot of other weapons here also being contenders. The PalinDrome is a great pick up considering its from a vendor. It comes with Rifled Barrel on it. So it basically has as much range as a well rolled ‘Eyasluna’ plus it comes with RangeFinder and Spray & Play.

It’s really a great stuff for PVE and PVP alike. Be prepared to see this often in the crucible, but is also makes for a great PVE weapon. A very good value for the marks. Its notable perks are:

  • RangeFinder
  • Spray and Play
  • Rifled Barrel

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Event Horizon (Sniper Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Event Horizon

Event Horizon is a black spindle archetype, super slow and super hard hitting sniper rifle. Hidden Hand is always very nice for snipers plus Spray and Play is really good for your uptime. And it comes with the ever popular Shortgaze scope in case you want to bring it into PVP. Its notable perks are:

  • Hidden Hand
  • Shortgaze SLH10
  • Spray and Play
  • SmallBore
  • Explosive Rounds
  • Grenadier

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Chaotic Neutral (Machine Gun):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Chaotic Neutral

Chaotic Neutral might just as well be a near clone of Ruin Wake (Legendary Machine Gun) from last year. Same archetype, slow firing and hard hitting. It has pretty amazing bonuses. Chaotic Neutral is definitely a reliable weapon. Its notable perks are:

  • RangeFinder
  • Braced Frame
  • Feeding Frenzy
  • Braced Frame
  • Armor Piercing Rounds

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Zero-Day Dilemma (Auto Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Zero-Day Dilemma

Zero-Day Dilemma is a good pick for an auto rifle, if you are into that. Hidden Hand isn’t that terrible and Spray and Play is great. Even though the Braced Frame would drop that magazine size a bit but Spray and Play can keep you active. Apart from that you can also run with a bunch of bonus range with Rifled Barrel. You got a lot of options here so this thing is pretty versatile. Well, it’s just that the auto rifles at the time of this article are not the greatest. Its notable perks are:

  • Spray and Play
  • Braced Frame
  • Rifled Barrel

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – The Hero Formula (Scout Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - The Hero Formula

The Hero Formula is a pretty interesting choice. Its the super fast firing archetype of a scout rifle which has some potential in PVP. It comes with Braced Frame for a ton of stability which is normally a weakness for  this kind of weapon.

The Hero Formula’s Life Support and Third Eye is great for PVP. So if you are looking for change of pace in the crucible this weapon has some potential. Its notable perks are:

  • Life Support
  • Third Eye

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Something Wicked (Rocket Launcher):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Something Wicked

Something Wicked seems like a solid PVE launcher. I’m not keen how Cluster Bomb are buffed. But if they’re ended up being buffed enough then this with Field Scout and Grenadier is going to be pretty nice and heavy slot, if you need rockets. Its notable perks are:

  • Cluster Bomb
  • Field Scout
  • Grenadier

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Each New Day (Fusion Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Each New Day

Each New Day is a fusion rifle with Counter Balance and Hand-Laid Stock giving it a ton of stability. I never actually used a Counter Balance fusion before and with that much stability I think there is some potential in this Fusion Rifle even in a shotgun dominated world. Its notable perks are:

  • Counter Balance
  • Hand-Laid Stock
  • Unflinching
  • Last Resort
  • SnapShot

The 5th Vendor is New Monarchy. New Monarchy Vendor also brought some good stuff such as ‘Assembly II’, ‘First Citizen IX’.

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – Assembly II (Auto Rifle):

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron - Assembly II

New Monarchy Vendor, unfortunately, do not impress me this time around. Assembly II, a bullet hose auto rifle, is probably as good as you’re going to get for a vendor bullet hose. Counter Balance and Perfect Balance are a nice combo but if you already has a Doctrine of Passing (Auto Rifle), you probably just going to use that.

However, for those who do not have Doctrine of Passing (Auto Rifle), this weapon has the potential to filling your bullet hose needs. Its notable perks are:

  • Counter Balance
  • Perfect Balance
  • Third Eye

Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron – First Citizen IX (Machine Gun):

First Citizen IX is a bullet hose machine gun also with a Counter Balance. With 77 bullets in the chamber plus more with the Extended Mag, this thing just going to spread madness. I’m not terribly confidant in it though high rate of fire have never been too popular but may be there’s some hope for this weapon. Its notable perks are:

  • Counter Balance
  • Extended Mag
  • Hammer Forged
  • Feeding Frenzy

Well that’s the full list of Best Vendor Weapons in Destiny Rise of Iron. We probably be stuck with these weapons for quite a while, so you have some time to invest in the weapons.
