In Destiny 2, we currently have 17 non-sunset pulse rifles. Some of these are amazing in PvP, and others... well not so much. In this video we break down each of these pulse rifles into a Tier List for PvP use - looking at their effectiveness in 6v6 modes, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, and more.
I chose to go with an A and A- tier split because so many of the A tier pulses were close together but some seemed just a hair better than others. Regardless, anything in the S through A- tiers is a safe bet to have great performance in any PvP mode. Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts on my rankings.

Would you change any rankings? Watch my Hand Cannon Tier List next: ua-cam.com/video/6LINfFs-65o/v-deo.html
I would definitely try a hailing confusion with elemental capacitor on a stasis subclass. It makes it really unique.
@@samuelcarter76 but then you get killed by a messenger and reevaluate your life
I have a Moving Target + Elemental Capacitor roll for Third Axiom and I have no idea of how fast I'll be strafing when using Stasis for the Elemental Capacitor. Like it will be SPEED
Hailing Confusion is such a good pulse. I have a Surplus + Wellspring roll and it SLAPS. The recoil is literally nothing and the kick of it is ZERO
I think Outbreak Perfected is an A-.
Patty: “Pulses can’t peek shoot”
Also Patty at 11:05: peek shoots with a pulse
It's possible to do, but best with high impact pulses
Lol but notice how he only hit about one shot per burst
@@PattycakesGaming I personally enjoy peak shotting with my Messenger. Dumping over 100 damge into someones head that quickly is nasty.
@@spray916 If you are peak shooting against a potato then yeah, but if you are peak shooting against Potato then you are dead.
Peaking is cowardly anyway.
Vigilance wing is really underrated, I’ve been using it for pvp for the last 4 seasons. So good.
I've been suffering through trying to learn hand canons 'cause it's meta, but coming back to V wing always makes me feel a lot better about myself.
@@bluefletcherfish I'm both a hand cannon and V Wing main, they just feel great lol (I'm by no means a great player tho)
@@bluefletcherfish ive been using it for the past 3 years. And also recommend
Vigilance wing has never been bad in pvp
Just wish full auto waa part of the gun instead of being a catalyst
"This pulse rifle gives your enemies No Time To Explain why they ran their heads into your crosshair."
Pulse Rifles really feel like the perfect counterpart to Handcannons. Its a shame most of the current excisting ones are so difficult to get your hands on them as they're either in deep endgame content or RNG is in a boxfight with RNG. Gridskipper is definitly a pulse rifle we'll be seeing a lot though this season. Strong archtype, strong performance for its archtype and the perk pool is something else.
Looking forward to see how many people will hate the " dad guns" spamming them with flinch this season.
I love me some Dad Rifles lol
I gotta Vigilance Wing on a seasonal reward exotic engram lol. It was my first one other than Riskrunner.
@@jasongibson1225 I run vigilance wing for pretty much every survival match
"Pulse rifles really feel like the perfect counterpart to Handcannons"
Crimson: *Why not have both?*
No Time is just so damn crisp to use. Add on some cheeky Arc Souls and your away haha
the one crucial thing to keep in mind about vigiwing: you absolutely need Vigil of Saint-14 to give it its full potential. both the base gun and the gingerbread gun ornament have the chunkiest ADS ever and detract from the weapon.
Nah
I just commented something similar about how The Third Axiom is useless due to it's scope/gun model. There's a bunch like that in the game, and it makes you wonder how nobody in testing said they absolutely suck to play with compared to cleaner glasses.
Pulse rifle dexterity mods and you're sweet to go
It would be hilarious if you make a video covering all trace rifles, would be like 5 minutes long
haha I'll prob save those for the next version of my exotic tier lists
@@PattycakesGaming Oh, I thought that you could maybe rate them in the Auto rifle video
lens coldheart wavesplitter effigy divinity when running cwl, swap coldheart and wavesplitter if not, done
@@DanieIQP wavesplitter actually slaps
@@matthew5200 yea i use it a bunch, its probably the easiest to use cause of the stability and clean sight. ridiculous when you have the supercharged battery
UGH oh how I miss the days when I could bring my blast furnace to PVP. I LOVED that pulse so much
It was great. I used the same max-Stability Feeding Frenzy/ Rampage roll in PvE and PvP constantly.
I had a 97-range Feeding Frenzy / Kill Clip roll which was the *best*
Still can, just not trials and iron banner. Idk why people refuse to use sunset gear in the standard crucible...
I had the god roll for blast furnace and will forever be upset about sunsetting. Blast furnace and the recluse was a nasty combo i will forever love
I would love to see SMG’s. We’ve recently gotten some newer good ones and I’d love to see how they stack up against each other. Always appreciate your content!
Autos and SMGs will probably be the next 2
FYI, Time-worn spire can two-burst with One for All, which gives you the highest damage bonus of 35% and is easier to proc than you might think. If you are challenging a lane against multiple people, they tend to peek out and dip back into cover. If you have Armour-Piercing bullets, you can easily tag more than one person with a burst, and this thing fires pretty fast, so it’s a lot of bursts. Long story short, the third person to peek out gets a desperado treatment and you can keep that desperado for 10 secs. Right now these pulses are dropping like candy during Halloween from Iron Banner, so look out for one with Slideways or Subsistence or Moving target + OFA + Armour piercing + Mid-zoom scope. This pulse is not S-tier, but it is definable unique.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE‼️ looking at all the rankings videos. I sincerely appreciate it. It goes a long way. PLEASE do more topics and concepts with this.
Outbreak perfected is my favorite gun that has ever been added and simply just feels at home in my hands, its less competitive but has that quality of life flow to it.
Same its the first gun that clicked with me aside from dmt without the catalyst
I loved that high-level summary of the whole weapon category at the end!
I just wish he did a bit more digging on each pulse before making the list. Cold Denial is probably the worst in its archetype because of the low zoom factor and it falls off at 31m meaning you are going to struggle against a properly rolled Palindrome and you don't even stand a chance against a 120 especially if they are charged with light. Stars should be in the A tier as it has a zoom factor of 18 and can maintain bullet magnetism out to 60-65m without a max range roll while the Cold Denial is whiffing shots.
anyone else remember the Adept Blind Perdition in D1 YR3? hands down the smoothest pulse i’ve ever used they gotta bring it back
Even though I love NTTE and Vigi Wing, I might've even ranked Messenger alone in S but perhaps that's just because it suits my personal playstyle better. Also I think the notes at 15:30 are pretty important/insightful for anyone considering using a pulse rifle. Overall awesome video!!
YAY! another go-to tier list that I have to check out after getting the messenger G-roll from last weekend. I've been SHREDDING people with it
Good ol' Graviton Lance deserves some love. :(
With momentum control being back in the game... It'll at the very least be respected inside that playlist lmao.
Grav was probably my favorite work horse before beyond light went live.
Graviton Lance is a beast right now, with energy accelerant and Warmind's Decree.
Great vid, helps put things into perspective! Only thing is in the description, the messenger video link is actually your team 'wallhack' video.
good stuff man, loving the new gridskipper pulse!
What's the spawn rate like on this? Haven't got one yet, but got every other Override weapon drop for me
@@benarchyuk837 I've got a 3 or 4 in about 20 runs of the activity
@@benarchyuk837 you can focus your engram on that umbral machine
might as well do this with every other weapon type. great work. I loved chattering bone but stars has been my baby but who don't love a despo messenger.
Great video and rankings. Good explanations. Also love how you are chill compared to some of these other toxic or yelling destiny youtubers lol.
Subscribed 🙂
I have cold denial with headseeker and oh man that thing slaps. Great video as always!
I love watching these videos! They are so informational
I have been waiting for this since i asked you about pulse rifles and you mentioned use shotguns with them lol
got a high caliber, outlaw and headseeker Premonition that absolutely slapped in PvP but then they sunset it only to bring it back without the same perk I loved
If you haven't already, I'd love to see a scout rifle ranked list
Dead Man’s Tale: S-Tier. MIDA Multi-Tool: A-Tier. Everything else: D-Tier. Sorted.
@@hobartpaving8986 Man, Jade rabbit is really good!
@@ThiagoTFA I do love the way the Rabbit feels. I just think using DMT or MIDA would always be a better choice, sadly.
@@hobartpaving8986 ay why my boy vision of confluence not a tier
@@hitherez_2925
Because it's trash
Hey Pattycakes awsome video 👍🏼👍🏼
Got a gridskipper that came with high caliber rounds, heating up and multi kc that imo is a A-tier but I can imagine you review them in there overall status
Get heating up on a gripper. It's the best pulse in the game. High impact reserves and heating it up makes it s tier easyyyyy
High impact reserves is s tier on a gun with >30 rounds huh? 🤣👌
Have two of these. They shred. Heating up is s tier imo.
This definitely makes me want to break out No Time to Explain and Vigilance Wing again. Gridskipper this season has been a blast!
I love the gridskipper
this series is great, with good datas to back the ranking, earned a sub
Thanks!
Super informative Patty Cakes many thanks another solid vid on gun archetypes
Also be good to mention occasionally if some of those are good for pve
Great video my dude!!
Great video as always Patty!
Stars in Shadow with Surplus/KC (and high stability perks) is incredible on controller.
Really like this video. Would love to see more
It may come down to personal preference, but right now my favorite pulse rifle in the game is time worn spire, and I don't even have my God roll yet. I do have two that are very similar and very close and if I combined them it would be a god roll for me. For now the closest I have is a mid range scope (prefer the long range on my other), high cal rounds, slideways, iron grip, and handling mw. There is no damage boosting perk here, but with the high stability this offers in addition to slideways it is extremely consistent and reliable in every gun fight. I don't have even close to a God roll grudskipper yet, but from the few I've tried, I am not sure it will feel as good as the TWS. I am still grinding for that God roll so I have a good option to pair with the Chap when I'd rather use a pulse than my bottom dollar.
As someone who mains no time in both pvp and pve, I'm glad that it's up at S tier. :)
I’ve been waiting on a Pulse video from professional pov, THANX
It is nice the destiny community is so helpful to new players especially this channel i just found , the game is super fun and I just finished beyond light as a warlock. I am glad no time to explain is ranked so high, I liked it even regardless, great video explaining too
I used pulses for the entire weekend of Iron Banner. Cold Denial is my go-to. Feels so consistent and i absolutely love the sight on it. Though I recently went up against someone using VWing and he barely won the gun fight pretty much every time I went against him. Might give it a try.
I also really like Time Worn Spire. Got some pretty awesome feeds with it. I love how mine feels, consistently dumps a lot of bullets down range. Tried Gridskipper but it just wasn’t doing it for me. Id swap TWS and Gridskipper on this list. Obv my personal pref.
F in the chat for my Outlaw-Rampage Go Figure. God I loved that gun.
I always preferred the energy one who’s name I can’t remember and am too lazy to look up. Worse stats, but I always seemed to do much better with it for some reason.
Nice work Pattycakes, great summation and great work on the quality content. As a lover of pulse rifles since the days of hawksaw and grasp of malok I've always found them hard to hit all shots compared to a hand cannon. I have a near god roll adept messenger (Arrow head/light mag/rapid hit/desparado/stability MW) that sits idle while I go to work with my true prophecy! Go figure 😂 Watching guys like yourself & cerridious anhiliate entire lobbies makes me wonder what I've been doing wrong the entire time 😏✌🏻
Hawksaw was so fun!
Oh yeah!
Great list. The peek shoot potential of high impacts can’t be denied though. Peeking out and doing over a 100 damage at long range... I’ve gotten so many clean up kills with them, people just don’t expect to be hit like that.
Ive been waiting for this.thanks pattycakes🥰
For me gridskipper would be moved up to an A in mid range maps that thing is a beast with a good roll
Time-worn spire can roll with iron grip, wich kills reload but you can reach +80 stability with that. It's like a laser even on controller. It's dynamic-sway levels of consistency
Also, since you already have minimun reload, using extended mag has no downsides, and a reload mod fixes the problem
Randomly if you have it for vigilance wing,use the vigil of saint 14,it makes the sight alot better imo
Love this video. Your opinions are honest and accurate. Love your insight into these weapons.
Vigilance Wing has been a favorite of mine since it got hyperbuffed in S3. The optimal TTK can be achieved with just two bursts, you clean easily clean up a kill with a third burst if you screw up with the first two, the five-round burst in general feels super unique and hits like a truck, and the catalyst gives it the severely underrated full auto trigger system perk. Things like 120rpm hand cannons may be better on paper, but V Wing combines effective killing power with astonishing ease of use, and it’s my go-to primary in most PVP activities
tunnel vision on the gridskipper is quite nice, I have the tunnel vision/multikill clip roll, and I love it. I gotta say though, I think heating up/multikill clip is the way to go, I *also have that roll with ricochet rounds and after a few kills, in tandem with the damage buff from multikill clip, it becomes an unstoppable lazer. For those of you out there chasing a roll, I highly reccomend heating/multikill clip.
Great video! Are you going to do one for auto-rifles in the near future (asking as a false promises main)
yeah probably autos or smg next
great video, hope the algorithm blesses this one
Gridskipper is my new favorite weapon period. Tunnel vision, frenzy is an awesome roll.
As I started playing Destiny 2 my favourite one was Gravitation Lance, before Sunsetting my absolute Favourite Pulse Rifle was Go Figure.
That gambler transition was clean
God, I love NTTE. A high impact pulse with really good perks, it returns rounds to the mag on headshot, and the little gun buddy greatly helps with suppressing fire and adds a ton of forgiveness when hitting bodyshots.
Agree with this list besides stars in shadow I think personally it should be up at A tier especially with kill clip. Other than that spot on and great video!
Really great list. Totally agree with those S tiers. NTTE is actually ridiculous in PvP and I'm always so surprised (and glad) when it never gets a nerfed in new sandboxes. I don't even see many others use it.
Im so glad i farmed my double perk cold denial all the way in arrivals. Arrowhead break/Fluted - Ricochet - Killing wind - Swash/Mkc with range masterwork :D
I have at least 1 of all of these and Gridskipper is my absolute favorite legendary. It's consistent and nasty with Heating-Up and MKC - add Sprint Grip for the lower handling.
Hey Patty, great video! I landed Stars Shadow with surplus + kill clip, with a range master work. Surely that would be A tier or S tier? What do you think? Thanks again!
My fav pulse rifles atm- Adept Messenger, Vigilance, outbreak, and chattering bones
yesss can't wait to watch all of this
Personally I think outbreak should be around A- but I also play on controller which changes things. Great video !
Would love to see where you rank the new piece of mind and indigenous!
I still find myself using Redrix even now in regular crucible. I wouldn’t mind getting an exotic version of it in the future.
16:43 +
Thank you for making this point. It' has always seemed to odd to me how many Hand Cannon purists always sing the praises of using skillful weaponry when they are using the primary with the least amount of shots needed to connect, the highest aim assist, the best peek shooting potential and one of the best aerial shots in the entire game, and then decry Pulse Rifles as "Dad Rifles" requiring no skill.
Last perdition is my go to pvp pulse, range finder and zen moment make this weapon awesome
Tunnel vision with Frenzy on Gridskipper is alot of fun in pve. Throw down a empowering well with Sanguine Alchemy and Devour ontop of it is a one man harvesting machine. Only prob is you run out of ammo pretty fast!
Thank you for this! Everybody focuses only on handcannons.... I'd like this to change
Bad Juju is get with attunement of sky with its hip-fire grip. So much fun also the not needing to reload has helped me destroy people that expect me to after I kill their friend lol.
Out of all the Destiny UA-cam’s I’ve always found Pattycakes videos to be the most unique and informative
Wow thank you!
Honestly though - I hadn't tried it a lot since I masterworked it. But Cold Denial honestly slaps - I have a cool themed perk roll on it. Cold Denial /w: Killing Wind, Eye of the Storm, I put Icarus Grip on it and it has a Range masterwork stat boost. I didn't realize how hard it popped off, with Killing Wind active I was getting solid 2-3 shot kills to the head, with some fast 3 shot body kills. I haven't come across a pulse rifle that I actually like more. Currently trying to get some good rolls on Auto Rifles and Submachine Guns as I prefer auto weapons.
“Preh-moh-ni-shun” aside from that I loved the video lol
Personally the Chattering Bone has been S tier for me! I used to run messenger on wide maps now I just run Chattering Bone for everything! (6v6 control mind you)…. I got opening shot and high impact reserves. Fast swap/ADS, fast reload, lightweight = move faster.
Works for me as I run striker Titan with 80 mobility with glacioclasm. And I win a LOT of gun fights! I don’t have high caliber rounds but I think it must inherently cause some good flinch! I’ve been loving it! Lol
Thanks Pattycakes!
Good old gridskipper, a favourite since i first got my hands on one
They need to bring back black armory weapons I want my god damn Blast furnace
I love the chattering bone. One of my favs
Got a lucky vigilance wing in the beginning of destiny 2 and haven’t needed another pulse rifle since 🙏🏼
To me, pulse rifles feel like the best alternative to hand cannons in pvp and also generally feel a bit better in PvE. I really like using firmly planted, kill clip/damage boost pulse rifles on nightstalker, makes it really easy to proc flawless execution and hold down a lane or doorway. I also like using pulses with bottom tree golden gun for the extra stability and faster super from precision kills. I think I would rather use a hand cannon or auto rifle (Titan) on the other classes though.
Jian 7 might be my favorite pulse for 6v6, as it can roll with disruption break/firefly
What does disruption break do in pvp
My third axiom rolled feeding frenzy rampage, one of my absolute favorite guns for pve and i dont do too bad pvp
You should try gridskipper with heating up it's an excellent pluse with that perk.
Don't agree with the whole list, but Excellent video! Earned my sub! Please make one PVE focused
Is there a list anywhere of all intrinsic perks for each frame? Like how you said vigilance has firmly planted due to it being a high impact
back when I used to play ESL in BF4 and BF3 my faves were the AN94 and the M16A4 in BF4 speccially.
timing pulse rifles in Destiny is a breeze, so V Wing is my most cherished weapon in the kinectic slot when I feel like going brain dead.
Nice rankings might give time to explain a shot
Can you do bows next or is that too far off metha?
Maybe at some point, my plan for now is to do SMGs and ARs next
@@PattycakesGaming oh yeah smgs were my fav a bit back
Really love the Riskrunner, especially in pve but pvp it's also pretty fun
Hey, could you make a list of all the weapons that grant a buff on mobility or so like the pulse, like wich weapon frames grant these?
I miss my blast furnace..
aggressives were so good back in season 4/5
Yeah, me as well. Despite sacred provenance shares the same archetype and has great perks (mine has rapid hit and kill clip) something feels off when I try to use it in pvp. It's just not consistent at all.
I see you Pat. Bursting me down mid air. My pumpkin has failed me
Id love to see a fusion rifle tier list
Seems unique
I have 13000 kills in crucible-trials with Graviton Lance is so good !! Vigilance Wing is my other favorite …sometimes The Messenger…. Have to look at it this way …use the weapon that suits you ……hand cannons ,snipers ,shotguns ,pulse rifles, auto rifles they all good weapons… use whatever make you feel comfortable in a match-game
The timewarp pulse rifle fron iron banner is good too im shredding with that
I have the God Roll Gridskipper and it's A- Tier, maybe even A tier. Arrowhead, Ricochet, Heating up, multikill clip. I get so many triple that are from heating up and I haven't had to reload to activate mulitikill clip.
Cant wait for the sidearm tier list!
How could you dislike this honest, matter a fact content?
I just completed my catalyst for vigilance wing. I love it.
NTTE with Getaway Artist and Chaos Reach is my favourite build for 6v6
Man, the day you could start getting premonition at shadowkeep's launch I got a max range outlaw kill clip roll that carried me through hundreds of hours in the crucible, I miss being able to bring it out for trials, but i still use it from time to time in control :,)
Yes it's so good. I don't understand what were they thinking when they removed kill clip from the perk pool.
