The Vesper’s Host dungeon is one of the most interesting dungeons in Destiny 2. It’s packed with secrets, fascinating lore, and fun mechanics. Plus, the loot here is quite rewarding, making it a great place to farm for some of the best dungeon weapons in the game. We’ve already created a Vesper’s Host loot table where we dive into the details of obtaining items from this dungeon. Now, let’s take a look at which Vesper’s Host dungeon weapons are worth your attention and start grinding!
Vesper’s Host Weapons Origin Trait
Before diving into the best legendary weapons in the Vesper’s Host dungeon, there’s an important detail to highlight. All Vesper’s Host weapons have a very strong Origin Trait, which works similarly to Bray Inheritance from the Deep Stone Crypt. When dealing damage, Bray Legacy trait gives you energy for the ability closest to being fully charged. The exact percentage is still unknown, but even with low numbers, this Origin Trait will be pretty good. With that information in mind, let’s see how all the Vesper’s Host dungeon weapons rank!
№5. VS Pyroelectric Propellant, Auto Rifle
VS Pyroelectric Propellant god roll for PvE:
- Attrition Orbs, Eddy Current
- Jolting Feedback, Onslaught
VS Pyroelectric Propellant god roll for PvP:
- Fragile Focus, To The Pain
- Kill Clip, Target Lock, Onslaught
The VS Pyroelectric Propellant is the most polarizing of Destiny 2 Vesper’s Host dungeon weapons, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth farming. Thanks to its Origin Trait, this Auto Rifle already gives you Ability Energy, which allows you to roll perks focused on Orbs Generation or Reload boost in the third column. In the fourth column, two powerful perks stand out: Jolting Feedback, which applies Jolt to enemies after sustained damage, and Onslaught, which increases RPM after Final Blows.
In PvP, the VS Pyroelectric Propellant can serve as a decent replacement for The Summoner, as it shares the same archetype. If you need more Range, Fragile Focus will be your favorite, while To The Pain buffs Handling and Aim Assistance when you take damage. Together with Kill Clip, which reduces your Time to Kill to 0.6 seconds after a Final Blow, it becomes a powerful choice. If Range and Forgiveness matter more to you, then consider using Target Lock.
№4. VS Gravitic Arrest, Fusion Rifle
VS Gravitic Arrest god roll for PvE:
- Repulsor Brace, Demolitionist
- Withering Gaze, Chain Reaction
VS Gravitic Arrest god roll for PvP:
- Under Pressure, To The Pain
- Closing Time, Kickstart
Although VS Gravitic Arrest is unlikely to match Zealot’s Reward from the Garden of Salvation raid in terms of DPS, it still has unique and intriguing rolls, especially for PvP. In PvE, two rolls on this Fusion Rifle are worth noting:
- Repulsor Brace and Withering Gaze: Withering Gaze weakens the enemy after aiming down sights for 1.5 seconds and killing them with Repulsor Brace grants you a Void Overshield.
- Demolitionist and Chain Reaction: These two allow you to generate Grenade Energy and create Void Explosions with every Final Blow.
Now let’s discuss what makes the VS Gravitic Arrest so interesting for the Crucible, as we can immediately call it the best Vesper’s Host weapon for PvP. First of all, it’s worth highlighting its archetype since 660 Fusion Rifles have long proven themselves to be reliable and highly lethal weapons. Secondly, the VS Gravitic Arrest comes with some of the best perks for this type of weapon, namely Under Pressure and Closing Time. Together, they improve Stability, Range, Accuracy, and Handling when you have a low ammo count in the magazine. To The Pain and Kickstart are also undoubtedly great due to the extra Aim Assistance or damage.
№3. VS Velocity Baton, Special Grenade Launcher
VS Velocity Baton god roll for PvE:
- Demolitionist, Unrelenting
- High Ground, Attrition Orbs, Destabilizing Rounds, Adagio
The third place on our list is the VS Velocity Baton, the first Area Denial Special GL for the second slot. Unfortunately, it lacks Reload Perks, so it’s unlikely to be used for boss damage. However, VS Velocity Baton excels at clearing adds, making it one of the strongest Vesper’s Host weapons in Destiny 2.
If you want to regenerate your grenade frequently, Demolitionist is an excellent choice in the third column, while Unrelenting is better for survival. The fourth column offers several options based on your preferences:
- High Ground gives a 25% damage bonus after three final blows or when dealing damage from an elevated position.
- Attrition Orbs frequently generate Orbs of Power from damage dealt.
- Destabilizing Rounds create Volatile Explosions after Final Blows.
- Adagio grants a 30% damage bonus after a single kill.
Is the VS Velocity Baton worth your attention among all Vesper’s Host guns? Absolutely! This archetype has already proven its worth, thanks to Lost Signal from Echoes.
№2. Ice Breaker, Sniper Rifle
Of course, how can we forget Vesper’s Host exotic weapon? Ice Breaker has finally returned to the Guardians from Destiny 1, though in a slightly altered form. Now, instead of passive ammo generation, you will need to make assists or final blows with other weapons and abilities. While this may sound worse than the original Ice Breaker, in practice, you’ll actually generate ammo more frequently. Additionally, Ice Breaker has synergy with Stasis and can shatter Frozen Enemies and Crystals when you shoot at them. If you want to learn more about the weapon, we have a dedicated Ice Breaker guide (soon) with all the known information about it.
№1. VS Chill Inhibitor, Heavy Grenade Launcher
VS Chill Inhibitor god roll for PvE:
- Envious Arsenal, Cascade Point
- Bait and Switch, Explosive Light
Bungie continues to release Heavy GLs that keep getting stronger and stronger. This time, the VS Chill Inhibitor stands out as the best Grenade Launcher in Destiny and one of the best Vesper’s Host weapons for PvE activities. In addition to being a Stasis GL, which hasn’t been released in almost two years, it features a Rapid Fire Frame, currently the leader in both DPS and Total Damage. Moreover, VS Chill Inhibitor has the best perks for this weapon type. You can roll:
- Envious Arsenal for easy magazine refills that synergize with Bait and Switch.
- Cascade Point in the third column is only available on Edge Transit.
- Bait and Switch for a 30% bonus damage when dealing damage with your other two weapons.
- Explosive Light to increase damage from Orbs of Power.
If you’re looking for a weapon to farm, prioritize the VS Chill Inhibitor.
