There are 50 exotic weapons in 'Destiny' right now - and we've ranked them all

Exotic weapons are the rarest and coolest-looking guns in "Destiny," the popular shooter from the makers of "Halo."

Each exotic weapon has its own outlandish look and unique perk: Some automatically regenerate their own ammo, while others reward bonus damage, or speed, or boost your other abilities.

With the latest expansion dropping last month, "Destiny" now has a whopping 50 different exotic weapons, so we thought it'd be fun to rank them all. Now, for some background, I've personally played over 1,000 hours of "Destiny" since 2014, and I've acquired and used a vast majority of these weapons. These exotic weapon rankings are not just based on their unique abilities, but also their overall usefulness. Since you can only equip one exotic weapon at a time, it helps to know which ones are worth that valuable slot.
