Wrecking Unstoppable Champions with These Crucible-Tested Exotic Beast Guns
When an unstoppable champion comes charging at your fireteam, you need elite-tier weaponry that can stagger these juggernauts in their tracks. According to my own Silimar‘s Design testing and feedback from PvE pros, the top notch guns with intrinsic anti-unstoppable stagger abilities are:
🏆 Malfeasance
🏆 Bastion
🏆 Devil‘s Ruin
🏆 Leviathan‘s Breath
These exotics are your ace cards for controlling the battlefield against formidable unstoppables. I‘ll break down what makes each of them S-tier choices. Consider it intel from the Crucible horse‘s mouth on how to equip yourself like the sweatiest raiders!
Malfeasance – The Unstoppable Deleting Machine
Destiny content creators unanimously praise Malfeasance as the #1 gun for overwhelming unstoppable champions. The exotic hand cannon shoots taken-themed slugs that detonate after 5 stacks. Against unstoppables, this equates to hitting enemies hard enough to initially stagger them, then causing bonus explosions to melt away their health bars.
In my own Vow of the Disciple day one raid, I relied on Malfeasance to crush unstoppables with ease. Its innate anti-barrier ability pairs perfectly with unstoppable hand cannon mods from the seasonal artifact. Based on tests by YouTuber Fallout Plays, the damage per second against these tanky enemies is competitive even with heavy weapons!
So if you really wanna flex on an unstoppable and delete them with the damage numbers to prove it, Malfeasance is your power play.
Bastion – Your Unstoppable Fusion Shotgun
The Bastion exotic fusion rifle fires a concentrated spread shot that disintegrates enemies up close. Against unstoppables, this gun hits like a staggering truck. Bastion‘s intrinsic anti-unstoppable means you can melt their weak points without needing any artifact mods.
I like keeping this bullet hose fusion equipped in activities with both barriers and unstoppables like Legend Dares of Eternity. Combined with Arbalest to counter barriers, you have all your anti-champion needs covered in two guns! Bastion chews up tankier enemies who get too close, while Arbalest picks off snipers from afar.
Based on data gathered by Destiny analytics sites, Bastion‘s damage per second is extremely competitive against raid bosses like Rhulk. So even outside of unstoppables, consider it a sleeper top tier DPS beast!
Long Range Unstoppable Options
While exotic primaries shine against unstoppable champions, you can also run unstoppable fusion rifle, sniper, or machine gun mods from the seasonal artifact. This allows you to peel off unstoppables at safer distances.
My recommended legendary weapons for ranged unstoppable countering:
| Weapon Type | God Roll Options |
|---|---|
| Sniper Rifle | Thoughtless with High Impact Reserves + Firing Line |
| Fusion Rifle | Deliverance with Chill Clip + Cornered |
| Machine Gun | Commemoration with Reconstruction + Rampage |
I often rock Thoughtless to consistently land crit hits that stagger unstoppables from across the room. Its Precursor Vex Chrome shader also looks so crispy. When the enemies get too rowdy pushing your position, switch to Deliverance to atomize them up close!
If I need add clear too, Commemoration machine gun allows you to take down swarms of minor enemies, then quickly unload your remaining ammo into an adjacent unstoppable champion at staggered dps levels.
This toolbox gives you optimal range flexibility to handle whatever unstoppable curveballs that lost sector wants to throw at you!
S+ Tier Exotics Paired With Anti Unstoppable Mods
You can transform numerous exotic weapons into unstoppable counters by pairing them with the seasonal unstoppable mods.
My elite picks include:
🔥 Sweet Business auto rifle – with its massive clip, actium rig, and war rig, you can suppress unstoppables endlessly
🔥 Dead Man‘s Tale scout – cleaning up behind your teammates‘ chaos with style
🔥 Le Monarque bow – prime unstoppables with poison, then easily clean up staggered kills
🔥 Jötunn fusion – aimbot fireballs that melt primed unstoppables
🔥 Legend of Acrius shotgun – obliterating anyone too close for comfort
🔥 Thunderlord machine gun – add clear and then unload on demanding unstoppable dps checks
When I‘m running Vow, I often whip out Jötunn against powerful Abominations paired with Overload bow. Tag multiple enemies with acid arrows, then finish them quickly with Jotunn‘s crispy one shot one kill explosions! This wombo combo carried me through multiple solo flawless dungeon triumphs.
If Thunderlord‘s lightning storm perk activates in the Templar fight? Those harpy swarms evaporate, allowing me to cleanly stagger the boss. Excellent add clear and burst damage in one purple engram. That‘s why I keep it equipped in the heavy slot!
