Best weapons for Trials of Osiris
As the name suggests, we will present you with the top 10 weapons that are a great choice for winning the Trials of Osiris. This is not a ranking list, so the order of these weapons has no significance. It is hard to range these weapons objectively, as it depends more on your personal playstyle and chosen strategy. Instead of trying to rank these weapons, we will explain in no particular order why these weapons are good.
Redrix’s Estoc, Pulse Rifle
Redrix’s Estoc God Roll
- Lone Wolf / Offhand Strike / Perpetual Motion / Zen Moment
- Sword Logic / Kill Clip / Headseeker / Rapid Hit
A pulse rifle is given to everyone after completing their Competitive mode placements. A perfect choice when you can’t decide what weapon to run. The reason for that is its Legacy PR-55 Frame. With it, you can have better accuracy with ADS (Aim Down Sights) and hip fire. This makes this weapon great at long-range and in close quarters. It is one of the best guns for Trials of Osiris for both seasoned veterans of PvP and new players.
Perk options for this weapon are decent as well. Lone Wolf increases your aim assist, ADS speed, and aiming while airborne, empowering this effect when there are no other allies. Sword Logic grants a damage buff on final hits, allowing you to keep the momentum. You can also consider using Offhand Strike, Perpetual Motion, and Zen Moment for the first column. These perks also provide better handling, improving your aiming depending on conditions. As for the second column, alternative options are Kill Clip, Headseeker, and Rapid Hit, as they improve your damage output.
BXR-55 Battler, Pulse Rifle
BXR-55 Battler God Roll
- Killing Wind / Perpetual Motion / Snapshot Sights / Outlaw
- Eye of the Storm / Kill Clip / Elemental Capacitor
Another pulse rifle from our list. A competitive alternative to Redrix’s Estoc. It has the same Legacy PR-55 Frame that provides great handling for hipfire. What differentiates it from Redrix’s Estoc is the list of available traits. You can get BXR-55 Battler as the reward at the end of Dares of Eternity.
The best perk options for the first column are Killing Wind for extra mobility, handling, range, and reduced damage falloff distance on kill. Perpetual Motion for additional stats, such as stability, handling, and reload speed, while you keep moving. Snapshot Sights for faster ADS time, and Outlaw for faster reloads. For the second column consider getting Eye of the Storm or Kill Clip if you love playing aggressively. If the bonus from your Super fits your build, you can also use Elemental Capacitor for extra stats.
Zealot’s Reward, Fusion Rifle
Zealot’s Reward God Roll
- Under Pressure
- Closing Time
Fusion rifle with high range and rate of fire. It has a quick charge rate, allowing you to quickly swap it and get the kill or use it in a panic situation. And with perks, you can have an easier time landing crucial shots. Fusion Rifles are great for catching overextended players who are out of position. You can get this fusion rifle from the first encounter of the Garden of Salvation Raid. Can also be crafted with improved perks.
The desired perks for this weapon are Under Pressure and Closing Time. This combination improves handling and accuracy, making this weapon even deadlier.
Deadlock, Shotgun
Deadlock God Roll
- Lone Wolf / Slideshot / Threat Detector
- Closing Time / Opening Shot
This shotgun is a powerhouse. With the help of Precision Frame, it deals devastating damage, while having considerable range and handling. There is not much to say about this gun other than that. If you are a fan of shotguns, this Trials weapon is one of the best possible options for you to run. Similar to Redrix’s Estoc, you get it after completing 7 placement matches for Competitive mode.
The traits you’re aiming for are Lone Wolf and Closing Time. With it, you can have a better aim assist and handling. This makes this weapon even deadlier than it is at a close distance, as you can have an easier time aligning your shot. If you don’t see the benefit in running Lone Wolf, consider using Slideshot of Threat Detector instead. These two perks also improve your aim-related stats in close combat. If the Closing time is not up to your taste, you can use the Opening Shot for increased accuracy and range of your first shot instead.
Scavenger’s Fate, Shotgun
Scavenger’s Fate God Roll
- Lone Wolf / Slideshot
- Closing Time
An alternative to Deadlock. Another powerful shotgun that feels very good to use. One of the best weapons for Trials among all energy weapons. Another plus of this weapon is that it is somewhat easy to farm for. First, you need access to Episode Revenant. Next, you need to get the Tonic of Scavenger’s Fate by buying Tonic of Tomb Weaponry. When you get the tonic, equip it and farm Tomb of Elder. Be sure to get this weapon before the new expansion release. It will become unobtainable when this happens.
The trait setup is the same as Deadlock’s. Aim for Lone Wolf and Closing Time. You can also consider Slideshot as an alternative to Lone Wolf.
Lodestar, Tracer Rifle
The first trace rifle available for the primary weapon slot joins the list of the best weapons for Trials of Osiris 2025. Although secondary fire is nothing to write about, its primary fire makes it a notorious weapon. Even after nerfs to aim assists, this weapon shreds targets as long as you stay on target with the beam. Loadstar is an exotic weapon in the Heresy season pass. You get it straight away by getting the premium pass. Otherwise, you need to level up your pass to level 40.
Hammerhead, Machine Gun
Hammerhead God Roll
- Fourth Times a Charm
- Killing Tally
The only reason we bring this heavy weapon to this best PvP weapons for Trials list is because of how powerful it is in Trials of Osiris. With a high fire rate and strong aim assist, it allows you to consistently rain bullets on the enemies, shredding them down in seconds. And with the help of some traits you can empower its potential even further. There are several ways to get this heavy machine gun. You can get it from Shaxx’s chest in Hall of Champions, BRAVE engrams, or Onslaught’s chest rewards.
The traits mentioned above are Fourth Times a Charm and Killing Tally. FTaC gives extra ammo on every 4th precision shot, reducing the need to reload often. While Killing Tally is a stackable on-kill damage buff that stays as long as you don’t switch the weapon.
Exalted Truth, Hand Cannon
Exalted Truth God Roll
- Keep Away / Lone Wolf / Moving Target / Zen Moment / Slide Shot
- Eye of the Storm / Magnificent Howl / Opening Shot / Precision Instrument
A hand cannon with high stats. What makes it exceptional is the amount of great traits available to it. With them, you can easily customize Exalted Truth to suit your playstyle. You can never go wrong with this weapon. You can focus it through Legacy engrams in Trials of Osiris.
As was mentioned there are a lot of good perks to choose from. There is no definitive answer for what is the best two here. In the first slot, contenders are Keep Away, Lone Wolf, Moving Target, Zen Moment, and Slideshot. The list for the second slot is smaller. But there are still such things to consider as Eye of the Storm, Magnificent Howl, Opening Shot, and Precision Instrument.
Igneous Hammer, Hand Cannon
Igneous Hammer God Roll
- Rapid Hit / Keep Away / Fragile Focus
- Precision Instrument / Opening Shot / Moving Target / Eye of The Storm
Another hand cannon in the best Trials weapons list. Compared to Exalted Truth, it has the least variety of powerful traits. But it makes up for it with the raw stat, making it one of the strongest guns in the game, at least on paper. You can get it through Legacy engrams in Trials of Osiris.
The valuable trait options for this gun are Rapid Hit, Keep Away, and Fragile Focus. The second column provides more options. Notable perks are Precision Instrument, Opening Shot, Moving Target, and Eye of the Storm.
Rose, Hand Cannon
Rose God Roll
- Moving Target / Slide Shot / Perpetual Motion / Rapid Hit
- Eye of the Storm / Snapshot Sights / Opening Shot / Explosive Payload
Last on our Trials weapon list is the hand cannon called Rose. An exceptional quality of this gun is that it is considered a light weapon, providing you with bonus mobility as long as you hold it. This allows you to move quickly. Many prefer this gun to other hand cannons just because of this effect. Being able to move faster and smoother makes it a fun and powerful weapon to use. Rose can only be obtained by focusing it at Lord Shaxx in the Hall of Champions. Getting it requires participating in a competitive playlist.
But not just the lightweight effect, the Rose also has a bunch of powerful perks. Among the options, you can find Moving Target, Slideshot, Perpetual Motion, and Rapid Hit in the first column. And Eye of the Storm, Snapshot Sights, Opening Shot, and Explosive Payload in the second. All these are powerful additions to an already strong gun.
Conclusion
And this is it for our list. There is no such gun that makes you win all the fights, but there are those who are more fit for that role than others. A lot depends on your strategy, skill, and overall loadout. If you have the opportunity, try the guns from our list to find the one that fits your playstyle the most. And if you need any assistance with getting a desired weapon, you can always rely on Trials carry!
