If you are a big fan of fusion rifles in Destiny 2, Season of the Haunted has something for you. Enter Riptide, one of only a few Stasis fusion rifles in the game that is making waves in PvE and PvP activities. Riptide feels good to use and comes with many perks for you to experiment with. If you are looking to diversify your loadout and finally add a fusion rifle to your kinetic slot, look no further than Riptide.
In PvP, Riptide is a beast of a weapon. Rapid-fire frame pulse rifles are one of the best archetypes to use in the ever-changing crucible sandbox as they can consistently catch enemy guardians off guard with their handling and range. In PvE, Riptide has some excellent available traits that make it a worthy contender for all kinds of endgame content. That being said, other fusion rifles such as Deliverance and Glacioclasm might be slightly better choices.
How to get Riptide
Riptide is quite easy to get your hands on — obtainable by competing in any main crucible playlist. You can get drops of the Riptide both by completing crucible games and opening up rank-up engrams from Lord Shaxx. Getting your ideal roll of Riptide might prove to be a little time-consuming due to its randomness, so be prepared to farm those crucible games.
