10. Falling Guillotine

 Use and Review:

 There is little doubt about how effective a good sword can be in battle. But when it comes to owning bosses in PVE there is little doubt of who dominates the field. Fallin Guillotine is a beast.

8. One Thousand Voices

Use and Review: 

 

This energy beam projection weapon is the Destiny 2 equivalent of easy like a Sunday morning. The beam of energy just melts boss health bars away.

Fire away, find cover, reload and repeat.

This boss killer for players that like to engage bosses at a distance. Sniper rifles have been a bane in PVE enemies since the first Destiny game.

5.Tractor Cannon 

The weapon that is good for any occasion is also a good option to bring into a boss fight. The Tractor cannon's only real drawback is its limited ammo capacity.
