Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph: Spire of the Watcher Weapons and Armor

Every raid and dungeon pre-Edge of Fate in Destiny 2 received gear tiering. There is a new armor set with an individual set bonus for each one. Some dungeons and raids saw their weapons get additional perks, while others got new weapons added to their pool. Spire of the Watcher’s weapons have already gotten a perk refresh with the Rite of the Nine. The armor set for Spire of the Watcher can increase the value of the weapons that drop from the dungeon.

Destiny 2 Spire of the Watcher Weapons

There are four Spire of the Watcher weapons on rotation:

• Liminal Vigil – Heavy Burst Frame Stasis Sidearm
• Long Arm – Aggressive Frame Arc Scout Rifle
• Wilderflight – Double Fire Frame Void Grenade Launcher
• Terminus Horizon – High-Impact Frame Arc Machine Gun

Tex Balanced Stock is the Origin Trait for the dungeon weapons, which reads as follows: Damaging targets while firing from the hip increases handling, reload speed, and movement speed while aiming down sights.

Destiny 2: Liminal Vigil

Liminal Vigil is a Heavy Burst Frame Stasis Sidearm. Overall, it has struggled to remain relevant in the PvE and PvP sandboxes. Primary ammo Sidearms generally have been weaker than other weapons in both aspects of the game. The update does make it a better PvE option, but it still falls behind other weapon archetypes.

Destiny 2: Long Arm

Long Arm is an Aggressive Frame Arc Scout Rifle. Long Arm was the first Legendary Aggressive Frame Scout Rifle added to the game. It followed in the footsteps of Dead Man’s Tale, the Exotic weapon it is sculpted after. It has rarely had the success that Dead Man’s Tale saw, but it is a fun weapon to use. While it was originally built for PvP, the new update has it leaning towards PvE. It has plenty of options from Arc synergies to general use perks like Dual Loader and Lucky Shot.

Destiny 2: Wilderflight

Wilderflight is a Double Fire Frame Void Grenade Launcher. Much like Long Arm, Wilderflight was a unique weapon when Spire of the Watcher came out. It was the first Double Fire Grenade Launcher and had decent perks. The Monument of Triumph version is improved over its initial release. It is not the best Grenade Launcher for swap DPS, but it is an option if you do not have others available.

Perks

• Column 3
  • Auto-Loading Holster
  • Repulsor Brace
  • Blast Distributor
  • Ambitious Assassin
  • Envious Arsenal
  • Air Trigger

  • Wither Gaze
  • Bait and Switch

Best Roll – PvE Use Only

• Barrel – Quick Launch
• Magazine – Spike Grenades
• Column 3 – Envious Arsenal
• Column 4 – Aggregate Charge
• Masterwork – Handling

Destiny 2: Terminus Horizon

Terminus Horizon is a High-Impact Frame Arc Machine Gun. The original release of Terminal Horizon had a double AoE damage perk, but it was not ideal with Voltshot. The newest version is significantly better for PvE. You can look for double AoE perks with Meganeura in the first column or have solid reload perks and AoE in the second column.

Perks

• Column 3
  • Meganeura
  • Supercharged Magazine
  • Reconstruction
  • Fourth Times the Charm
  • Trickle Charge
  • Feeding Frenzy
• Column 4
  • Gear Shift
  • Jolting Feedback
  • Precision Instrument
  • Rolling Storm
  • Mega Kill Clip
  • Target Lock

Best Roll – PvE Use Only

• Barrel – Fluted Barrel
• Magazine – Appended Mag
• Column 3 – Reconstruction
• Column 4 – Jolting Feedback
• Masterwork – Stability

Destiny 2: TM Custom – Armor Set Bonus

• 2-piece – Old Martian Diplomacy
  • Stowing a weapon after defeating a powerful combatant or a Guardian heals you a small amount and disorients nearby combatants.
• 4-piece – High Noon
  • Freshly drawn weapons deal increased precision damage to combatants for a short period. Weapons with the Tex Balanced Stock Origin Trait equipped or Exotics manufactured by the Tex Mechanica Foundry gain further increased benefits.

The 4-piece for this armor set is one of the strongest for damage builds in PvE. The additional 7% damage to precision weapons increases your damage. Many solo Hunters have used the 4-piece to solo bosses like Argos and the Witness.
