More than most, the weapons that you bring down with you into the depths of Titan's Arcology will define how successful\u2014and how efficient\u2014you will be in clearing the three main encounters with the Lucent Hive. Luckily for those trying to optimize their dungeon deep dives, there isn't just one path to take when it comes to the arsenal that you bring with you. Every piece of your loadout has a few different options that you can equip in each encounter and still find success, based on experiences from our own runs through the dungeon. What matters most is finding the right gun to pair with the subclass build you're running\u2014or if you're running solo, the right gun to maximize your survivability. Here are our recommendations for what you should bring into all three of Ghosts of the Deep's core encounters, whether you're flying in as a lone wolf or running with the pack. What is the optimal loadout for Destiny 2's Ghosts of the Deep dungeon? First encounter - the Hive ritual In Ghosts of the Deep's first encounter, loadouts can be a lot more flexible than they are during the later fights that involve boss damage phases to contend with. Here, the focus of an optimal loadout is on speed and lethality. Regardless of whether you're in a fireteam or solo, that means running your best ad clear build with whatever Special and Heavy weapons you're most comfortable with. Best weapons to disrupt the Hive ritual, as a fireteam or solo Primary Quicksilver Storm, CALUS Mini-Tool (with Incandescent), IKELOS SMG (with Voltshot) Special Forbearance, Dead Messenger, Salvager's Salvo Heavy Gjallarhorn, Corrective Measure (with One For All) We recommend players both running with a group and lone wolfing it should work with the old reliables here. Special grenade launchers, specifically Wave Frame grenade launchers such as Forbearance and Deafening Whisper, work great in this area due to their flatness. Depending on whether or not you're already using your Exotic slot, you can even bring Dead Messenger along if you don't have a good roll of a Legendary Wave Frame grenade launcher. In your Heavy slot, it's best to run either a rocket launcher or a heavy machine gun from our experience. Both weapon types are adept at clearing out the large groups of Hive that spawn in at each encampment and make quick work of the Hive Guardians and Ogres too when they start to get involved. Some of our fastest Hive ritual disruptions have come via Gjallarhorn paired with a double Special loadout, but alternatives like The Hothead or a machine gun with One For All work just as great. Related: Here is the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon loot table in Destiny 2 We haven't mentioned much about Primary weapons here, and that will be a running theme in this guide. As of Season of the Deep, Primary weapons have fallen to the wayside in many respects due to the prevalence of ability-focused builds encouraging players to use two Special weapons instead. If you are going to bring a Primary weapon into this encounter, Exotics such as Quicksilver Storm or a god-rolled CALUS Mini-Tool with Incandescent are your best bet. Second encounter - Ecthar, the Shield of Savathun The second encounter against Ecthar is a chaotic, close-range affair with some of the highest enemy density in Destiny 2 today. That means your loadout needs to be built around close-quarters combat as well, but the exact nature of the guns that you bring will depend on your subclass and what the rest of your fireteam has equipped. Best weapons to defeat Ecthar, as a fireteam Primary CALUS Mini-Tool (with Incandescent), IKELOS SMG (with Voltshot) Special Arbalest, Wastelander M5 (with Trench Barrel), Deliverance (with Chill Clip), Acasia's Dejection Heavy Legend of Acrius, The Lament, Falling Guillotine, Tractor Cannon A fireteam of Guardians has the benefit of building differently to complement each other and better optimize a damage phase against Ecthar. In both this and the final encounter against Simmumah, one player should have Arbalest equipped to be able to break the boss' shield in a single shot at the start of the damage phase. This will drastically save both time and ammo at a moment when you want to have the longest damage phase possible. For the other players, the Exotic you choose to bring varies depending on the setup. If you are using a Well of Radiance during damage\u2014something we highly recommend\u2014you can choose to use either swords or certain shotguns against Ecthar. For swords, you either want to be using The Lament or a well-rolled Falling Guillotine with Relentless Strikes and Whirlwind Blade. Alternatively, the Exotic shotguns in question are Legend of Acrius (if you have the catalyst) and Fourth Horseman. Double Special loadouts will once again serve you well during the buildup phase where large groups of minor enemies need to be dispatched quickly. Running shotguns, fusion rifles, and trace rifles together is a safe bet since you'll rarely have the breathing room to make use of more explosive alternatives that are just as likely to blow you up as the enemies standing directly on top of you. A Wastelander M5 or IKELOS SG with Trench Barrel is a great pairing to melee builds such as the Liar's Handshake Arc Hunter that dominate this encounter. Best weapons to defeat Ecthar, solo Ecthar is the first real hurdle in any solo run of Ghosts of the Deep. The build you bring is far more important than the weapons, but what's crucial about the weapons you choose is that they ensure your survival when things start to get hectic toward the start of the damage phase. Our weapon loadout thoughts here are broken down based on subclass, which is something to take into consideration when planning out your own run as well. Hunters are one of the strongest classes during the buildup phase where ad clear is the focus, but lack survivability in the damage phase. When running the Liar's Handshake Arc build, you should pair it with two Special weapons that complement the style. This could be anything from two shotguns to a fusion rifle and a trace rifle, but what you take in should come equipped with perks like Trench Barrel or Reservoir Burst to maximize the value of each shot spent. Guns like the Wastelander M5, Until Its Return and PLUG ONE.1 are some good starting points. Related: Bungie wins $490,000 lawsuit against Destiny 2 player who threatened community dev In the damage phase, Hunters don't have access to sources of healing that Warlocks and Titans do in their subclass. Because of this, The Lament is the only easy-to-recommend option here, as each successive hit will provide you with a burst of healing that should keep you sustained against the oncoming damage. Titans have it a bit easier. The Synthoceps build with Solar Throwing Hammers and a Tractor Cannon has been a go-to for Titans for over a year now, and that isn't about to change with Ecthar. The heavy reliance on your abilities to do the heavy lifting also means you can be a little more lax with your Special and Primary weapon slots, but you'll still find that fusion rifles like Deliverance or trace rifles like Acasia's Dejection will be great here. Warlocks have similar recommendations to the Titans, with Sunbracers, Well of Radiance, and Phoenix Dive offering up all the survivability you need to be safe during the damage phase. Running a weapon like Legend of Acrius for the damage phase, if you have the catalyst, will be the way to go. If not, you'll most likely want to rely on The Lament as well. Then, take anything with Incandescent in your other slots, such as Acasia's Dejection or CALUS Mini-Tool, to enjoy some perfect synergy with your Solar subclass in the remainder of the encounter.

More than most, the weapons that you bring down with you into the depths of Titan's Arcology will define how successful\u2014and how efficient\u2014you will be in clearing the three main encounters with the Lucent Hive. Luckily for those trying to optimize their dungeon deep dives, there isn't just one path to take when it comes to the arsenal that you bring with you. Every piece of your loadout has a few different options that you can equip in each encounter and still find success, based on experiences from our own runs through the dungeon. What matters most is finding the right gun to pair with the subclass build you're running\u2014or if you're running solo, the right gun to maximize your survivability. Here are our recommendations for what you should bring into all three of Ghosts of the Deep's core encounters, whether you're flying in as a lone wolf or running with the pack. What is the optimal loadout for Destiny 2's Ghosts of the Deep dungeon? First encounter - the Hive ritual In Ghosts of the Deep's first encounter, loadouts can be a lot more flexible than they are during the later fights that involve boss damage phases to contend with. Here, the focus of an optimal loadout is on speed and lethality. Regardless of whether you're in a fireteam or solo, that means running your best ad clear build with whatever Special and Heavy weapons you're most comfortable with. Best weapons to disrupt the Hive ritual, as a fireteam or solo Primary Quicksilver Storm, CALUS Mini-Tool (with Incandescent), IKELOS SMG (with Voltshot) Special Forbearance, Dead Messenger, Salvager's Salvo Heavy Gjallarhorn, Corrective Measure (with One For All) We recommend players both running with a group and lone wolfing it should work with the old reliables here. Special grenade launchers, specifically Wave Frame grenade launchers such as Forbearance and Deafening Whisper, work great in this area due to their flatness. Depending on whether or not you're already using your Exotic slot, you can even bring Dead Messenger along if you don't have a good roll of a Legendary Wave Frame grenade launcher. In your Heavy slot, it's best to run either a rocket launcher or a heavy machine gun from our experience. Both weapon types are adept at clearing out the large groups of Hive that spawn in at each encampment and make quick work of the Hive Guardians and Ogres too when they start to get involved. Some of our fastest Hive ritual disruptions have come via Gjallarhorn paired with a double Special loadout, but alternatives like The Hothead or a machine gun with One For All work just as great. Related: Here is the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon loot table in Destiny 2 We haven't mentioned much about Primary weapons here, and that will be a running theme in this guide. As of Season of the Deep, Primary weapons have fallen to the wayside in many respects due to the prevalence of ability-focused builds encouraging players to use two Special weapons instead. If you are going to bring a Primary weapon into this encounter, Exotics such as Quicksilver Storm or a god-rolled CALUS Mini-Tool with Incandescent are your best bet. Second encounter - Ecthar, the Shield of Savathun The second encounter against Ecthar is a chaotic, close-range affair with some of the highest enemy density in Destiny 2 today. That means your loadout needs to be built around close-quarters combat as well, but the exact nature of the guns that you bring will depend on your subclass and what the rest of your fireteam has equipped. Best weapons to defeat Ecthar, as a fireteam Primary CALUS Mini-Tool (with Incandescent), IKELOS SMG (with Voltshot) Special Arbalest, Wastelander M5 (with Trench Barrel), Deliverance (with Chill Clip), Acasia's Dejection Heavy Legend of Acrius, The Lament, Falling Guillotine, Tractor Cannon A fireteam of Guardians has the benefit of building differently to complement each other and better optimize a damage phase against Ecthar. In both this and the final encounter against Simmumah, one player should have Arbalest equipped to be able to break the boss' shield in a single shot at the start of the damage phase. This will drastically save both time and ammo at a moment when you want to have the longest damage phase possible. For the other players, the Exotic you choose to bring varies depending on the setup. If you are using a Well of Radiance during damage\u2014something we highly recommend\u2014you can choose to use either swords or certain shotguns against Ecthar. For swords, you either want to be using The Lament or a well-rolled Falling Guillotine with Relentless Strikes and Whirlwind Blade. Alternatively, the Exotic shotguns in question are Legend of Acrius (if you have the catalyst) and Fourth Horseman. Double Special loadouts will once again serve you well during the buildup phase where large groups of minor enemies need to be dispatched quickly. Running shotguns, fusion rifles, and trace rifles together is a safe bet since you'll rarely have the breathing room to make use of more explosive alternatives that are just as likely to blow you up as the enemies standing directly on top of you. A Wastelander M5 or IKELOS SG with Trench Barrel is a great pairing to melee builds such as the Liar's Handshake Arc Hunter that dominate this encounter. Best weapons to defeat Ecthar, solo Ecthar is the first real hurdle in any solo run of Ghosts of the Deep. The build you bring is far more important than the weapons, but what's crucial about the weapons you choose is that they ensure your survival when things start to get hectic toward the start of the damage phase. Our weapon loadout thoughts here are broken down based on subclass, which is something to take into consideration when planning out your own run as well. Hunters are one of the strongest classes during the buildup phase where ad clear is the focus, but lack survivability in the damage phase. When running the Liar's Handshake Arc build, you should pair it with two Special weapons that complement the style. This could be anything from two shotguns to a fusion rifle and a trace rifle, but what you take in should come equipped with perks like Trench Barrel or Reservoir Burst to maximize the value of each shot spent. Guns like the Wastelander M5, Until Its Return and PLUG ONE.1 are some good starting points. Related: Bungie wins $490,000 lawsuit against Destiny 2 player who threatened community dev In the damage phase, Hunters don't have access to sources of healing that Warlocks and Titans do in their subclass. Because of this, The Lament is the only easy-to-recommend option here, as each successive hit will provide you with a burst of healing that should keep you sustained against the oncoming damage. Titans have it a bit easier. The Synthoceps build with Solar Throwing Hammers and a Tractor Cannon has been a go-to for Titans for over a year now, and that isn't about to change with Ecthar. The heavy reliance on your abilities to do the heavy lifting also means you can be a little more lax with your Special and Primary weapon slots, but you'll still find that fusion rifles like Deliverance or trace rifles like Acasia's Dejection will be great here. Warlocks have similar recommendations to the Titans, with Sunbracers, Well of Radiance, and Phoenix Dive offering up all the survivability you need to be safe during the damage phase. Running a weapon like Legend of Acrius for the damage phase, if you have the catalyst, will be the way to go. If not, you'll most likely want to rely on The Lament as well. Then, take anything with Incandescent in your other slots, such as Acasia's Dejection or CALUS Mini-Tool, to enjoy some perfect synergy with your Solar subclass in the remainder of the encounter.
