From not having a wide variety to choose from to having Exotics that can&#8217;t compete against others, Bows desperately need a buff in a future Season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the ones we have now are still good for endgame content. Trinity Ghoul easily being the best of the bunch for easily clearing waves of enemies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some new additions include the Tyranny of Heaven and <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/guides\/how-to-get-verglas-curve-exotic-stasis-bow-in-destiny-2\/\">Verglas Curve<\/a>, both solid in their own right. However, Bungie needs to take a step back to see what Bows currently are and how they can improve them for the future so they can potentially be in the meta one day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-best-bows-for-destiny-2-pvp-2023\">Best Bows for Destiny 2 PvP (2023)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-748387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=1920 1920w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=600 600w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=80 80w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=160 160w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=622 622w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=150 150w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/le-monarque-destiny-2-best-bows.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accrued Redemption<\/strong> (Kinetic) &#8211; Possible drop from completing encounters in the raid, Garden of Salvation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Biting Wind <\/strong>(Kinetic) &#8211; Europa weapon obtainable through weapon quests from Variks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Le Monarque<\/strong> (Energy, Void, Exotic) &#8211; Purchase from Exotic Kiosk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Point of the Stag<\/strong> (Energy, Arc) &#8211; Purchase from Exotic Kiosk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ticuu&#8217;s Divination<\/strong> (Energy, Solar, Exotic) &#8211; Purchase from Exotic Kiosk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tyranny of Heaven<\/strong> (Energy, Solar) &#8211; Random drop from the Last Wish raid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wish Ender<\/strong> (Kinetic) &#8211; Purchase from Exotic Kiosk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whistler&#8217;s Whim<\/strong> (Kinetic) &#8211; Possible reward from Trials of Osiris. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Under Your Skin<\/strong> (Energy, Void) &#8211; Obtained from Season of the Risen activities. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bows in PvP are a much different story, as in the hands of the right player they can be devastating to play against. They&#8217;re very popular to use in &#8220;hot-swap&#8221; combos where you shoot an arrow at an enemy to deal solid damage against an enemy, followed up by swapping to a hand cannon to finish them off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best of the bunch is easily Le Monarque, as one shot can cripple any opponent with poison damage. A head shot from Le Monarque can deal up to 170 damage total, putting an enemy in range of being killed by basically anything in the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, Le Monarque is due for a nerf when Season 22 arrives, so we can&#8217;t rely on it too much anymore. Instead, you can use other Bows like Wish-Ender that can more or less produce the same results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Bows are a great choice to use in PvP, and unless their damage is nerfed, they will continue to be relevant for the foreseeable future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s all for our&nbsp;<strong>best bows in Destiny 2 for PvE, PvP, &amp; Gambit<\/strong>.
