Bungie showed off a trailer today chock full of new exotics with only one pulled from Destiny 2, but even that one has been heavily redesigned. Here are my impressions of each of them initially based on what we *think* they can do, along with some bonus complaining about Festival of the Lost for good measure.

For those who listen to this guy you are morons that is all
11:21 "A couple Destiny 1 armor pieces" Come on Twilight Garrison.
nice dog in the background
The Behemoth with Icefall Mantle is basically Toph earth bending a suit of armor
You need an Evie cam. That would be awesome!
The warlock gauntlets 100% needs to have the name changed to the Thorntlets 👍😂
Also, if you're wanting to get some exotic engrams to decrypt when BL launches, you should definitely go in to Leviathan, EoW and SoS and open the secret chests and underbelly chests as they've been dropping exotics like crazy for me and my clan while we've been doing those raids for the exotic catalysts
Blink chainswords…oh yeah…baby
Oddly enough I got a horror story on my first cache annnnndddddd nothing since.
Only playing for double nightfall rewards this week, i don't give 2 cents about festival of the lost.
ah, Cloud Strife, my favorite Final Fantasy sniper
The warlock exotics are horrible man.

I like the minimalist style of your videos, and appreciate your articles.
Hey Paul. I seen you on the IGN Fireteam chat . Thanks for keeping me informed . Bypassing the event 😂. Been playing borderlands 3 but I’m excited for Bungie s dlc in November . Them chests are dropping every other strike or menagerie . Currently been in Titan hallowfire bottom tree is extremely effective for pve with a witherhoard auto rifle ( we all know the one ) and a hammerhead with range and mulligan is awesome ! You wouldn’t think mulligan is good but it’s awesome 👏. It’s sticky too ! Good luck
Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like they’ve shown us enough to where I’m curious what the surprise will be. Like with Forsaken, the main marketing was to me (sorry Cayde) the least interesting narrative. I’m curious how big Europa is and what is in and after the raid that could take us by surprise. Also, still nothing on the Cosmodrome ☠️
I'm finally excited for Beyond Light. Hope all the old saved exotics don't work, i wanna grind for these
Destiny blows.
I don't like that the new Hunter Exotics are mainly for PvP.
How about some PvE useful Exotics Bungo?
The entire beyond light release has to have at least the same amount of exotics as forsaken at a price point of 50 bucks. I don’t care about excuses. Less content=less value.
Looking at your sweet doggo…
I woudn't mind a big space wolf (Princess Mononoke style) as a new type of mount. A mount that CAN FIGHT by your side. 🤪
I severely dislike the use of derogatory mental health diagnoses to describe things that are extreme or wild. So common nowadays. Definition of insane
1a(1) : exhibiting a severely disordered state of mind : affected with mental illness
On the NTTE matter, I'm quite interested but also cautiously optimistic… The timeline bullets…
– What percentage of your weapon damage do they deal ? 100% ? 75% ? 50% ? ………. 25% ?
– How many precision shots (or regular shots on Stasis'd enemies) are required to spawn Timeline Bullets ?
– How is the accuracy ? Does it decrease based on your movement, on the enemy's movement, on the distance ?
– How does the targeting work ? Does it shoot exactly where your crosshair is ? Or does it automatically shoot the last enemy you were aiming at ? If the targeting is automatic, does it aim for body shots or critical shots ?
– Does the catalyst upgrade the Timeline Bullets from : useless to okay ? okay to cool ? Or cool to amazing ? In other words : is the catalyst required to make NTTE an actually decent exotic ?
– Should you have a seasonal mod that grants you (insert anti-champion perk) on your NTTE pulse rifle… do the Timeline Bullets even benefit from that bonus ? Or are they considered as an additional and separate weapon ?
My Werewolf has 100 range. Same as Hardlight!
Grinding done!

Not necessarily, there was footage of 1KV before Forsaken launched.
The game needs separate loot pools for endgame and everything else.. sorry but you can’t tell me theese exotics will all be useful for gmnfs…..you don’t need these exotics for strikes and patrols….putting everything in the middle makes EVERYTHING FEEL MEANINGLESS
Sniper will be useless.,gimmicky…faster ttk with other weapons..it becomes a preference not a necessity…again nothing means anything…a bunch of choices that are all on equal footing….
Icefall Mantle with the new exotic sword is going to make titans Titan harder. Can’t wait.
and again warlocks get nothing smh
Why do people keep pretending that Bungie will not show everything? They always show everything.
I know you're a writer, but you might wanna consider editing… That intro is 🔥
Icefall Mantle is EXACTLY what i need as a Titan main.
Resilience is pitiful due to it being neutered to cater to PvP, and Barricades, while useful, are heavily flawed. Being able to give myself an overshield at will ever 17ish seconds at my current resilience level is amazing.
P.S. Whoever named these exotics needs a MASSIVE raise. They all sound so fucking cool by name alone.
Fuck Paul Tassi 🖕
It’s always painfully obvious which exotic in the trailer is the raid exotic.
Omg u r so boring, bland n mediocre. No game clips or ne thing. U r just so….Blah.
I could see benefit to athrys's embrace coming in handy if you can bounce it off the wall behind someone hiding in cover
Paul you might wanna grind out the 45 decoders for the Ascendant Lens from Spider btw.
I just went here so I could comment on your destiny is the new wow to say I will never play destiny unless they start banning the cheaters in pvp
I sure hope you are right about secret exotics. Why would they name this trailer the exotic weapons and gear trailer? Doesn't leave much room for extras in my opinion.
I feel like this is it on the exotics sadly. Kind of a let down but I do like what we have seen so far. I'm still very excited for beyond light. I'm just not going to allow my hype to blind me from possible dissapointments and I'm already going in with low expectations due to covid ruining everyone's lives lately. I'm just looking forward to the new campaign and fresh coat of paint on most everything =)
Read your article you posted this morning I have a possible theory according to the lore he's supposed to be the last surviving cabal on the leviathian when the darkness takes over he could possibly die

Icefall Mantel looks pretty powerful.
For No Time To Explain it a pre-order bonus and after season 12 all player can have it in a world drop
