EVERY Weapon Perk in Destiny 2 Explained & Rated (2023 Edition!)

In today's video, I've decided to go over, explain, & review EVERY WEAPON PERK in all of Destiny 2, as of Season 22. This is an updated version of a video I did 2 years ago! If you know a new / beginner Destiny 2 player who wants to maybe learn about a specific perk, feel free to send them this video. Timestamps included, and I go over both sides for each perk, PvE & PvP. Enjoy!
Shoutout to the LONG-BARREL Patreons, of which there is only TWO: MELANIE & HALLANDREN!!!

★ REACH OUT TO ME, YO ★
#Destiny2

[FalloutPlays]

Yo! Out of town for the next week, but hope this vid serves as a halfway decent info source for new/returning players. If there's any mistakes, I apologize. Also if you disagree with my feelings on any given perk - that's okay! I'm far from an expert. But if you have any conflicting opinions on viabilities of said perk (he said he doesn't like it, but i LOVE IT), by all means, please share! Would love to hear additional info on perks that you feel strongly about. Be well, and see y'all next week. More pre-scheduled content coming btw.

[Movie_Popcorn_]

Oh yeah, ready to listen to this quick video over my lunch break

[RavenXSoul]

You're a mad man for not only making this, but having the patience to timestamp it.

[mwbeard]

That's why you're one of the greats in our community. What a great resource to have. Thank you so much time for the time and effort that you put in this.

[CBoftheeast]

A 5 hour video is some determination, and since im a new player (4 months) and a FTB player this is great for me thank you Fallout

[torchdragon]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I'm rounding the corner on my Destiny tabletop RPG that I've been working on for a couple years now and this video was the perfect format to be able to go through and scrub all 168 weapon perks and tidy up their rules and language. This video was basically like having another person to have a conversation with and it made going through that work all the easier! Perfect timing for this to have come out!

[SGemini]

After he went over Adagio; I quickly thought to myself..."Wow, he took awhile talking about that one perk...how long is this vid- WTF ITS 6 HOURS!?!?!"

[seerm]

Correction on Headseeker (02:26:40 ) It now does work in between bursts (land first burst in the body, headseeker does activate for the 2nd burst). There was a buff a while ago (update 6.3.0, Dec 6, 2022) where they change it from a within burst buff to a short timer, and that's why headseeker went from a throw away perk to one that on certain guns adds forgiveness, and something to consider.

[JohnPaulBenini]

this is not a video essay.
this is an endurance match.
good job, fallout.

[soooluscious]

I can't tell you how many times I watched the original version of this. As tedious as I'm sure it is to make, this is such a helpful resource for new players

[EchoReaverGaming]

Shades of Otzdarva's massive "every perk in Dead by Daylight ranked" videos, love it ❤️

[Xenomorphenia]

Thanks for all the info here!! I still have nightmares about Erentil with Backup Plan LOL

[torunsmok]

In defense of Compulsive Reloader: on shotguns and DMT and other aggressive frame scouts, the one or two at a time reload pattern allows it to kick in halfway up the mag every time for free as well as being able to top off the mag fast if you're paying attention, so it's great on those! Highly recommend if you can get it on those weapon types, it's a must try

[bruce_leon]

Almost 6hrs? WOW!
Well done, sir. You are a real one.

[pitmaster]

3:28:27 Paracausal Affinity *will* proc off of a kill with the weapon itself. At its base, you get a kill to get a 20% for 6 seconds. It offers additional methods of triggering and perpetuating that damage buff besides “kill with the gun itself”

[SirBanan]

What a nice video to watch quickly before I go to bed.

“Underdog, unrelenting. UNDERDOG, UNRELENTING… MY PAIN IS UNRELENTING”

[progenitor_amborella]

For AA, don’t forget about Forbearance’s older sibling, Salvager’s Salvo! It does still have use where wave frames can suffer, like above heads or with the right bounce.

[ziolan]

I hope fallout knows I just put this on in the background and watch through the whole things as a thank you. I'll pick through it if I need something but the last perk video really changed the game for me. Thanks Fallout

[theominousbulge]

I think no matter what i think of D2 at any given time (and it varies, wildly), the game has brought at least two of the best gaming youtubers around. You and Aztecross are class acts, bro. Always informative, entertaining and very comfortable with a mic which makes it it a lot easier to overcome my ADHD and actually watch a nearly 6 hour long video.
