Because Destiny 2 is a looter-shooter, its weapons range from very good to quite bad, as there are a lot of factors to be considered from perks and random rolls to the meta's current state. Sometimes weapons are shipped in a way that makes them extremely powerful, only for them to be adjusted or heavily nerfed later on. However, the opposite can also happen to weapons that are overlooked, but when they are brought more in-line with Destiny 2's balance patches, they can become new go-to guns.
