Hi guardians! 2016 is coming to an end and thus it is time to give out some awards, in this video I will be sharing with you the top 3 Best guns of 2016.
Before we start let me explain 3 simple rules that will be applicable for this year’s awards:
- The gun can be a primary, secondary or heavy weapon.
- We will be only covering legendaries and exotics
- The gun needs to be attainable for at least a specific period in the year 2016.
Now we are clear about the rules let's first start with some honourable mentions.
The Sleeper Stimulant has been an under rated gun throughout 2016 until the wrath of the machine came out where this gun found a place with its high dps potential. Before the rise of iron Unfortunately this gun got over shadowed with guns like the black spindle and touch of malice which were the more popular guns during the kings fall raid.
Because the gun was so underrated it earns an honorable mention
There was a huge hype when the imago loop came out as this was a replica of the most favorite gun in year 1 the Fatebringer but then without the elemental damage. In year 1 the fatebringer was a beast with firefly and outlaw which means it could wreck a lot of enemies in no time. However it is very hard to get the god roll Outlaw, rifled barrel and firefly roll on the imago loop. Since the chance of getting the perfect roll is so low it does not make it into the top 3 but it does deserve an honorable mention though.
The Palindrome also deserve an honorable mention due to the specific vendor roll with rifled barrel and rangefinder. Throughout the year a lot of people were in search of the excellent eyasluna, however the drop rates are very low and when you get one the odds of having a good roll on it is low as well. Thus until the Palindrome got sold it was very hard to find a solid legendary hand cannon, but with the introduction of rise of iron you can now get a decent hand cannon straight from the vendor.
So those are my honorable mentions, now let me introduce my top 3 best guns of 2016.
And in the number 3 spot is the Clever Dragon. I am mainly referring to the god roll perfect balance , snapshot, counterbalance Clever Dragon that was sold in Iron Banner of November 2016.
This high firing pulse rifle archetype was highly sought after due to the popularity of the Grasp of Malok, but like with the Imago Loop the drop rates were low and getting a decent role was also hard as well.
This gun is stupidly good in crucible where every new player can use this gun due to the relative easy to handle archetype compared with hand cannons which requires higher skill levels.
After the Iron Banner you can see this gun now everywhere in the crucible and you should get one as well when Iron banner is around if you haven't got one yet, because this gun is really good. As a result it deserve the number 3 spot.
On the number 2 spot we have the famous Gjallarhorn. This gun does not need an introduction, it is great to see the Gjallarhorn back with Rise of Iron, even though this is slightly nerfed, but Gjallahorn is still a fantastic rocket launcher.
The gun does not requires a high skill level as it is just a shoot and forget weapon. It is great against bosses and for dealing with big group of enemies. The ease of use and the versatility of this weapon earns it the number two spot.
So the number one spot best gun of 2016 goes to the Hung Jury SR4 aka the PVE monster.
The vendor roll hung jury shreds in PVE and this was sold by dead orbit before the Rise of Iron. The Hung Jury had the perks Triple Tap, Extended Mag and Firefly. This means that you could take care of large crowds of enemies with firefly and the combo of triple tap and a larger magazine size means you could sustain large amount of damage without the need to reload.
This was the go to primary gun for nightfalls and the king fall raid. Before the Rise of Iron you hardly see any other Primary being used in PVE other than the Hung Jury because it was so good in doing its job. Even now I occasionally still see people using the Hung Jury in nightfall and raids which proves again how great this gun is.
Because the Hung Jury has been the working horse for so many guardians throughout the year it earns the spot Best Gun of 2016.
So these are my personal picks for the Top 3 2016 Best gun awards. Let me know what your thoughts are and share with me what your personal top 3 looks like.
