With Season 18 in Destiny 2 and the Arc 3.0 rework, it's the season of getting up close and personal. Thanks to Traits like One-Two Punch that can be crafted into shotguns paired with melee-oriented Exotics, Guardians can make short work of foes. Staying up close, unleashing a shotgun blast point-blank, and then unleashing a melee that deals double damage in addition to whatever other buff the Exotic offers makes for an insanely good time. Here's a look at our favorite combos for each class.
