Solid Tier – Depends on What You Have
The Moon weapons in this tier either have some perk and stat combinations that make them stand out, or they at least have a good “feel” to them, leading to some ease of use that might be preferable to what you currently have.
Remember, just because you have a meta weapon, it might actually be pretty bad if you have terrible perk rolls on it. Or you just might hate the way that it feels when you shoot it. Ultimately the best weapons in Destiny 2 are the ones you play the best with. Unless, of course, you’re talking about Recluse, the answer is always Recluse.
Tranquility, the sniper, has a lot of desirable perks for both PvE and PvP such as Firing Line, Auto Loading Holster, Field Prep, Fourth Time’s the Charm, etc.
Arc Logic is one of the weapons that just “feels” good. It hits pretty hard but still remains quite stable. Just try and find some perks to increase its range and it should be nice for when you need to run barrier or overload rounds.
If you can’t get a good Dust Rock Blues roll, One Small Step might be easier to grind for and work pretty well in the Crucible with the usual slate of perks that are going to be helpful there. It has 1-2 punch, Slideways, Quick Draw, all of which are going to be great in the Crucible. It’s not a bad PvE weapon either if you are looking for a special ammo weapon in your kinetic slot.
I almost put Dream Breaker in the meh tier because I’m very much a proponent of high impact fusion rifles, especially for PvP, but I have to admit for a short-charge fusion rifle, Dream Breaker looks pretty good. With some solid rolls to improve the range and damage dealing potential, Dream Breaker can be pretty good I imagine if you’re a fan of this style of fusion.
Premonition, similar to Dream Breaker, comes down to whether or not you like high-impact pulse rifles. I personally prefer the adaptive or aggressive burst pulse rifles like Bygones and Blast Furnace respectively, but if you do like the slower firing high-impact pulses, Premonition is a solid one with great perk rolls like Outlaw and Kill Clip.
