Well…there's my 10 favorite Legendary Weapons added to Destiny 2 over the past year….what are some of yours? 👍🍻
Salvager’s Salvo with demo and chain reaction is one of my favorite ad-clearing weapons in the game. So satisfying to take one shot and just watch everything explode
Woot new video!!! A video about legendaries? On my 18th birthday?? SWEET! Appreciate the content man 😀
Gonna try my first ever raid today, looking forwards to doing that 👍
null composure really grew on everyone
I'm surprised I didn't see deafening whisper on the list
Glad to see you making vids again!
But, with this long season, I'm glad you took breaks as needed.
Also, crowd pleaser is one of my all time favorite GLs alongside canis. I got surplus Chain on day one of hunt, and it didn't leave my back for two seasons cx
Thanks for include both PVE and PVP in your list. I just love the Glacioclasm so much. It was so fun to use as an ad clear weapon 😀
Did you get that solo flawless emblem from the new dungeon?
Love your Videos! Keep up the good work. For the longest time, Code Duello was my go to for everything. Quick Draw Cluster. I picked up another one recently and am keeping it despite Ascendancy covering Solar.
If I had to pick ONE legendary weapon from this season though it would go to my Hung Jury. I love that thing to DEATH. Despite not being Meta.
Here is my top 10.
But I love all of them equally 💖
Except "Half-Truths" i haven't had this much fun in pvp in a long time since Bungie introduced Eager Edge.
1: Half-Truths
2:Heritage
3:Extraordinary Rendition
4:Igneous Hammer rapit hit/op shot
5:Chroma Rush
6:The Third Axiom
7:Survivor's Epitaph 180rpm with killclip
8:Pardon Our Dust autoloader/ blinding *Chefs kiss
9:Sojourner's Tale
10:Wolftone Draw Loot/Dragonfly
Does the Battler have the same damage profile as other 450rpm pulse rifles? I know it has a unique frame, but I thought that only changes the intrinsic perk?
Glacioclasm, Retraced path, Pardon our dust, Imperial Needle, Servant's leader for me.
Re-issued weapons are Crownsplitter and Time-worn spire. I know, they are not new, but I loved them so much with the new perks, they seem completely different weapons.
My favorites are 1. Succession 2. Biting winds 3. Stars in shadow. 4. null composure 5. Wolftone draw. Honorable mentions to heritage, chroma rush and sojouner’s tale.
1. Deafening Whisper. Love wave frames.
2. Salvagers Salvo. Chain reaction is beautiful.
3. Eyasluna/Vulpecula with headstone. So much synergy.
4. Solas Scar with chain reaction. Fun as hell.
5. Royal Entry with auto loading and lasting impression. Built in tracking gives it the edge over Code Duello.
6. Hung Jury. Tons of great perks and great stats.
7. Contingency plan. My go to in pvp. Just feels great.
8. Glacioclasm with slideshot or subsistence and reservoir burst. Hate the charge time rn.
9. Servant leader. Love my scouts and this has tons of cool perks.
10. Cartesian Coordinate is just an all around great weapon.
Honorable mentions: Wastelander with adagio. Null Composure, Fatebringer, Ignition Code.
A Battler with Perpetual Motion + Kill Clip is a true homie in PvP, especially rumble. The hip firing aspect is Last Word accurate for me; I may never ADS again 😅
Excellent. And with the end of the season ima have to start thinking about my list! Ima start looking more into retraced path. Currently I’m looking for a weird roll of shot to loot harmony.
I really liked the re issued weapons this past year even though they weren't the communities favorite. The moon weapons in my opinion are some the best looking and best weapons that almost no one talks about although that may be because they are a pain to craft if you don't have a lot of phantasmal cores. The re issued Fine memorial is my favorite.
I’m still hunting for my personal bxr god roll of demolitionist adrenaline junkie-_-
I honestly agree with the BxR being a top "new" weapon to the franchise. We really need more unique frames like how we used to have the Mini-Tool and Drang special frames (R.I.P to those), and the BxR does what it needs to do very well.
What was your favorite new exotic in Year 4?
Salvager's Salvo – aka: "I don't need to blind ads if they're all dead"
0:45 THAT IS GREAT
This is hard for me because I don’t like or don’t have a full opinion on the weapons from that era. I’ll just give a list of my favorites in general.
1.High Albedo(Pve)
2.Seraph Shotgun(Pve)
3.Seraph Saw(Pve)
4.Interference(Pve)
5.Honors Edge(Pve)
6.Steel Sybil(Pve)
7.First in, Last out WITH HIP FIRE/DEMO(Pve)
8.Brass Attacks(Pve)
9.Scathelocke(Pve)
10.Xenoclast(Pve)
Clearly, I don’t even think about pvp…and I don’t want to. There’s my weird list.
With the removal of orbs of power on masterworked weapons I'm gonna miss using ascendency explosive light
Like you say; Our lists might not perfectly align, but my list would be d*mn close to yours. 😎
Great to hear from you again.
Love it!
The Glacioclasm was a bit of a head scratcher, but if it flipped your switch, I’m glad for it.
I got a Demolitionish/Adrenaline Junky Battler roll and that got immediately masterworked.
Chroma Rush does indeed have a spot in my primary inventory and it’s funny, what you said about Sayrarah’s Wrath (SMG the feels like an Auto) is what I say about Chroma (Auto that feels like an SMG).
Like, you, I have a hard time with breach loaded GLs. I hate whiffing grenade shots and I do it all the time with these things! Which is why I prefer Deafening Whisper over Salvager’s Salvo, because Wave Frame makes it SOOO much easier to connect.
What do you think explosive light will be new underdog after wichqueen?
Gridskipper, chroma rush, code duello, blast battue with chain reaction , multi mach, peacebond, threaded needle, bxr-55 battler and riiswalker off the top of my head.😀
My favorite of the year is definitely Legal Action. Messenger never really clicked with my due to it's meh stability stat, but Legal Action with surplus is a laser beam, and the massively enhanced range from zoom is a huge plus as well.
Vision with rewind rounds/firefly and hawkmoon with lucky pants has been a fun pve set up
I call it
lucky hawk
Also forrunner is by far the best side arm in pve content. Especially against unstoppables
Salvo is my all time favorite grenade launcher. I got 13k kills on it. I pair it with deadman's for ad clear and boss dps.
I'll be breaking the rule of "no returning weapons" for this because to me there are just too many good ones in that camp.
1. Fatebringer – even as someone who didn't play Destiny 1, the gun feels classic.
2. Ignition Code – pretty much taught me how to slide spam in this game.
3. Chroma Rush – RIP Steelfeather
4. Cartesian – because Particle Deconstruction.
5. Succession – absolute unit.
6. Imperial Needle – My go-to Bow with Frenzy.
7. Vision of Confluence – Get Killing Wind on this and it feels sublime.
8. Deafening Whisper – RIP Martyr's
9. Multimach CCX – Monster in Crucible
10. Threaded Needle – I just hope it's still good after Particle is removed, it's really fun.
Just a selection, the only issue being certain guns fall out the meta with artefact mods. But usually means more fun with other weapons for a while.
Great video Ironworker!
My 10 favorite Year 4 non-returning-from-D1/non-reissued weapons list goes like this in no particular order:
– Commemoration
– BXR Battler
– Ignition Code
– Peacebond
– Wastelander
– Biting Winds
– Extraordinary Rendition
– Half Truths/The Other Half (Eager Edge go brrrrrr and it's easily the most fun thing we've ever seen in D2)
– Heritage
– Servant Leader
For my top 10 favorite Year 4 Exotic Weapons, the list goes like this (most most favorite to least most favorite):
1. The Lament
2. Duality
3. Forerunner
4. Hawkmoon
5. Ager's Scepter
6. Dead Man's Tale
7. Lorentz Driver
8. Eyes of Tomorrow
9. Cloudstrike
10. Ticuu's Divination
in no particular order my favorites are
Heritage, deafening whisper, the other half, bxr battler, chroma rush, glacioclasm, sojourners tale hezen vengeance, wolftone draw, ignition code
ignition code is my #1 idk bout the rest although eager edge is giving it a run for its money, especially since i can use it with my go to build since season of arrivals, witherhoard, ikelos smg lol i still love that build to death (sidenote, with explosive wellmaker, witherhoard shots on the floor can spawn elemental wells which is pretty neat)
Something tells me you are excited about Void 2.0
Glad to have another Void bro in the ranks! i had NO idea there was a void nade launcher with chain reaction and i play Gambit almost daily, but my pic for best of y4 is Null Composure, it carried my ass through every single dungeon in the game, its a damn shame Particle D is leaving in WQ.
Good to have ya back Iron!
Thank you for the video Ironworker. I was surprised at the long charge time for Glacioclasm. At this time in Destiny, a 1-sec charge just gets you killed.
