Every video game relies on the beauty and functionality of its aesthetic to make it more visually appealing; "Destiny 2" is no exception.

"Destiny 2," which was launched to different gaming consoles last month, has given players enough to time to upgrade their Guardians and start collecting some of the game's most prized bounties. Once a player's Guardian hits level 20, attained through experience points, which is the first ceiling level, "Destiny 2's" dynamics changes as it becomes all about that dough.

The online multiplayer first-person shooter's weapons and armors come in different levels of rarity. The yellow-coded or exotic gear is the best bounty to collect as it boosts the power level of a Guardian time and again. But with all these wonderful gears around, it does come with its own confines.

Players are only allowed to have their Guardian wear one armor and wield one exotic weapon at a time. Thus, the player's choice comes into play and here are some suggestions.

The Merciless Fusion Rifle is arguably the most favored exotic weapon in the "Destiny" community. The reason behind its popularity is the Merciless' extra Conserve Momentum, which allows non-lethal projectiles to charge the weapon quicker until the Guardian gets a kill.

Aside from that, Merciless also has an increased damage after reloading, an extra magazine and provides stability in weapon handling that is effective in both player-versus-environment (PvE) and player-versus-player (PvP) modes.

An exotic can be wielded by any Guardian regardless of their class, but it's a different case for armors. The Eye of Another World is Warlock class helmet that not only looks cool but has also one of the best features in "Destiny 2." Its Cerebral Uplink ability is focused on priority targets and improves the speed of regeneration grenades, melee weapons and Rift abilities.

"Destiny 2" is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows PC.
