6) Golden Gun – Gunslinger
The Golden Gun is perhaps the most damaging Super in all of Destiny, as it allows players to fire solar energy rounds from a flaming handcannon for a very, very brief period of time. This will typically one or two shot any enemy that stands in a Hunter’s way, however, due to the limited rounds you get it can be really tricky to make the most out of this Super. While other high damaging supers like the Nova Bomb can clear entire rooms out, the Golden Gun’s small magazine makes it only useful for taking down one or two high-level foes. Outside of finishing off a boss or major threat, the Golden Gun lacks any real flexibility. It’s good, but not great as other Supers can perform the same job if not better.
Looking to the competitive side of things, the Golden Gun is strong in the right hands as it allows players to snipe targets from a considerable distance. There is also a good amount of aim assist on this weapon, making it easier to track targets that are on the movie or trying to escape. Yet, it’s not great in a pinch unless you’re exceptionally quick on the trigger as enemies can either avoid or outright dodge the shots entirely. Since the rounds themselves aren’t that large a skill a Titan using the Twilight Garrison can easily juke an incoming round from a user. It’s a fun Super, but isolating it away from the rest of the sub-class only enhanced the weaknesses it has.
