I've spent weeks grinding Rhulk's derelict ship in Destiny 2's Sundered Doctrine dungeon, and let me tell you – the loot here is interesting. While none of these Legendary weapons redefine the meta like Indebted Kindness did, they offer some seriously fun combos if you know what to look for. Sure, they aren't craftable (ugh, RNG), but with Enhanced perks available, chasing god rolls feels worth the effort. Whether you're after that elusive Exotic LFR or just love dungeon farming, here's everything I've learned about these four weapons after emptying my inventory of treasure keys!
Unloved: The Strand Burst Hand Cannon
When I first got my hands on Unloved, I was skeptical – another burst Hand Cannon? But this Strand beauty surprised me! Unlike other burst HCs that just sit in your vault waiting for 
Lucky Pants builds, Unloved actually has legit add-clear potential. Why? Dragonfly or Hatchling in the FIRST column! That's crazy for a weapon type usually stuck with boring stat perks early. Pair either with Frenzy or the shiny new Elemental Honing (perfect for Prismatic builds) in column two, and you've got a workhorse.
But here's my hot take: If you're a 
Lucky Pants Hunter, stick to Malfeasance or Warden's Law. Unloved lacks magazine perks to compete. Crucible? Only if you love pain. That said, Rapid Hit + Kill Clip turns it into a 0.57s TTK monster when active!

|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds | Accurized Rounds |
| Trait 1 | Dragonfly OR Hatchling | Rapid Hit |
| Trait 2 | Frenzy OR Elemental Honing | Kill Clip |

Unsworn: Your Trace Rifle Swiss Army Knife
Okay, let's be real – Trace Rifles got powercrept hard by Rocket Sidearms. 😅 Unsworn knows this and leans FULLY into utility. And honestly? I kinda love it for double Special loadouts! Shoot to Loot in column one means you never miss ammo bricks, while Tear and Thresh offer niche but fun options. Skip the damage perks though – Detonator Beam is the secret sauce. Sustained fire makes targets explode like mini-Ignitions! Not raid-DPS levels, but fantastic for clearing packs.
PvP? Don't. Just... don't. Lodestar and Exotics bury Legendary Traces. Stick to this for utility in high-end PvE.

Unvoiced: The Sleeper Slug Shotgun
Slug Shotguns aren't meta right now... but when they come back, Unvoiced will be READY. Why? Bait and Switch – the holy grail of DPS perks – on a slug! 😱 Pair it with Envious Arsenal, and you can dump 12+ shots without reloading during boss phases. It's niche, but I'm keeping one in my vault just in case. For everyday use? Destabilizing Rounds + Demoralize creates Void chaos, especially if you're a 
Stylish Executioner Hunter. PvP feels awkward though – better slug options exist.
| Column | PvE God Roll | PvP God Roll |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Assault Mag | Accurized Rounds |
| Trait 1 | Envious Arsenal OR Redirection | Destabilizing Rounds |
| Trait 2 | Bait and Switch OR Elemental Honing | Demoralize |
| MW | Range | Range |
Unworthy: The Explosive Arc Scout
Unworthy is SO MUCH FUN. An ARC Scout with FIREFLY (Solar explosions!) in column one? 🤯 Bungie, you mad lads. Pair it with Rolling Storm for constant Bolt Charge generation, and its origin trait gives built-in Explosive Payload against red bars. Is it the absolute best ad-clear weapon? No. But trading raw lethality for safety and explosions feels GREAT in harder content. PvP? Meh. Keep Away + Zen Moment makes it stable, but Fang of Ir Yut outclasses it. Still, I keep mine for Arc burn strikes!
| Column | PvE God Roll | PvP God Roll |
|---|---|---|
| Barrel | Smallbore | Smallbore |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds | Accurized Rounds |
| Trait 1 | Firefly | Keep Away |
| Trait 2 | Rolling Storm | Zen Moment |

If you need utility weapons or Strand/Arc tools? Yes. For raw power? Warlord's still wins.

FAQ
- Q: What's the best masterwork for these weapons?
A: Range is king for consistency. Reload or Handling can work too if your build compensates.
- Q: Can I focus these weapons later?
A: Not currently! Farm them now during dungeon rotations for double loot weeks.
- Q: How hard is Sundered Doctrine solo?
A: Brutal. Rhulk's mechanics demand precision. Bring survivability mods and LOTS of patience.
- Q: Is Detonator Beam really better than damage perks on Unsworn?
A: 100%. It adds unique functionality. Damage perks barely move the needle on Traces right now.
So yeah, that's my take! Sundered Doctrine's loot might not break the game, but it's packed with personality. Happy hunting, Guardians – may RNG bless you with that Exotic! ✨
