Everything_ In Destiny, Ranked

Here at Kotaku, we like ranking things. Some of us also like playing Destiny. Let’s put those two things together and see what happens! I’ve played enough year-two Destiny to have a pretty solid set of opinions about which things are better than other comparable things. I have enough of those opinions that I’ve set about ranking everything* in Destiny. Notes up front: These lists go from best to worst—the higher the number on a thing, the worse its ranking. When applicable, I’ve weighed something’s value in PvE and PvP more or less equally, aside from subclasses, which I’ve ranked separately. I play on PS4, so I’m including the various PlayStation-exclusive stuff on these lists.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1740364179","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); Ready?

I’m sure there are some things you’d like to rank, or some categories you’d rank differently… and let’s be real, I probably left something off one of these lists. I hope you’ll share your own rankings in the comments below. *Okay not EVERYTHING, but a lot of things. To contact the author of this post, write to [email protected] Update: I’ve separated the subclass rankings into separate lists for PvP and PvE, since that really does work better.
