Destiny features three primary weapon slots: Primary (Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Scout Rifles, Hand Cannons), Special (Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Fusion Rifles, Sidearms), and Heavy (Rocket Launchers, Machine Guns, Swords). Each weapon type excels in different combat scenarios. Auto Rifles are good for sustained fire, Pulse Rifles for burst damage, and Scout Rifles for long-range precision. Hand Cannons offer high damage per shot at medium range. Shotguns are devastating up close, Snipers for critical hits from afar, and Fusion Rifles for charged bursts. Heavy weapons are for clearing groups or dealing massive boss damage. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of each to choose the right tool for the job. Look for perks that complement your playstyle, such as 'Outlaw' for faster reloads or 'Firefly' for explosive kills.
