@@isaacpeacock7580 It worked for most of Arrivals, after a patch early in the season. It broke again when Beyond light dropped, and has yet to be fixed.
@@Nadiki thats cause they uber buffed the spawn rate ages ago so ppl could get malfeseance quest i think. otherwise it used to be something stupid like 5%
They gave a reason for the nerf. It was outputting way more damage than intended in the (then) upcoming sandbox. Which basically means they likely discovered it broke something in Deep Stone. Not the first time they've preemptively neutered something because of a raid. If I'm remember right, Jotunn had a damage or ammo bug going into Scourge or Crown and they disabled it for that week.
You know it's a problem when you can't remember which exo weapon that is Effigy has the problem is a gimmick. You can do the same amount of adclear with a Ikelos or seventh seraph SMG and some warmind cells.
Well even without that though its DPS is unfortunately quite low. It's sitting at about 60% of most generic snipers, which is including the fire speed improvement over time.
@@xKapnKrunch yes it is! I’ve been loving the hell out of Komodo in Crucible and Gambit. Sadly it’s expiring this season (1260), so you have like two weeks to run it in endgame. It is solar, but at least the wrathborn hunt linear fusion is solar, so it has a superficial replacement.
@@Cryhai ahh so I was half right it survived but for some reason I thought it was void... Must be one of the other Vest brand rifles that just looks like it that im remembering. They are great for shield popping in higher level content when swords are not ok. Now days I pretty much always run a sword or anarchy... Anarchy is so damn good especially combined with a hard hitting breach grenade and hunter dodge reload and 6th coyote. I went into prophecy with 2 friends and did 4 million to the boss and they were like wtf were u using 😆
@@xKapnKrunch yeah, anarchy is nearly a must have for most pve loadouts. And you might be thinking of Crooked Fang, it was void and was my go to before sunsetting.
I slept on devils ruin when I first got it. I’ve been playing with Double Primary in crucible and started using it. It’s laser really acts like a special without having to rewarding your opponent if defeated. It’s actually pretty fun
It needs some rework.. My biggest complain is it doesnt do 150% damage to solar shields.. In match game only the void missile counts.. And next to that its rockets come out the barrel very wide, can often lead to hitting obstacles near you.. It does do high damage when both missiles hit, but I find the Supressing and burn damage very underwheling.. If they gave it some huge napalm strike like the Destiny 1 rocket it would be nice
The Queen's Breaker was one of my favorite weapons back in D1, but what doesn't feel right to me (besides the low damage output of linear fusion rifles in general) is the fact that Queen's Breaker isn't in the special slot anymore. I'm honestly big sad.
okay sky burners can spawn warmind cells. i legit never knew this i’ll be using it more in pve now... oh and to have it spawn warmind cells you would need wrath of rasputin armor mod
True, however if you look at the map rotations in in PVP a lot of the long range maps are vaulted. there isnt many long range maps that wouldbe great for scouts
scouts are typically awful in close range where as hand cannosn still work well so in my mind theyd balance out in that way, also as people have mentioned we dont have too many long range maps in pvp and in pve you cant always stay at mid to long range
But wait isn't there basically no reason to use it in pvp? Like the perks are mechanically pve only. And adored feels better, it just takes some practice is all.
Yeah it was actually quite a strong pvp sniper stat wise reguardless of it lacking pvp perks it’s base stats are insane. Sadly cloud strike makes it irrelevant now pvp wise

I would do anything for a traveler's chosen catalyst. I love using it in PvP. I think it would be cool gain a bump of health depending on the amount of stacks of light you have. Or if not that then vorpal weapon would make traveler's chosen so much more fun to use :3
@@CarmensD2AccountJourney you clearly have no idea how to use it. Shit has a .7 TTK, and the beam fucking melts anything. You just gotta learn when to use it.
If I'm not mistaken, merciless has been broken. It's exotic perk hasn't been working.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
I would have never guessed that #9 (Traveler's Chosen) was used so little in the game. I love that sidearm, did the whole Beyond Light campaign with it.
I contributed a considerable amount to the usage of Skyburner's, Polaris Lance, Darci, AND Jade Rabbit this season, since they we're the last Catalysts I had to complete. I know, I was bored.
here is the list in order with no extra talking, (timestamps if you want to listen to more context) !!!Spoilers obviously!!! | \/ 10) skyburners oath 1:44 9) travelers chosen one 3:35 8) Legend of acrius 4:48 7) Polaris lance 6:27 6) borealis 7:49 5) Devils ruin 8:54 4) DARCI 10:11 3) The Jade Rabbit 12:16 2) Merciless 13:35 1) queensbreaker bow 15:21
Bro I haven’t played destiny in so long and I don’t remember the story and I’m so lost but I just wanna play again but like I said I’m legit so lost with where to start lol
With the exception of sleeper, I think linear fusions should be moved to an energy weapon. Why in the world did they stay in heavy? Theyve never been able to, as a weapon type, rival anything else in that slot
@@advisedmango9129 yeah but it sucks so much I wanted to troll him with this one since there is no damage dropoff I can shoot longer distances while not killing him fast
I just think it’s fun, and as far as scouts that have infinite range and can use overload rounds, I just enjoy this guy. Never gonna be meta but you can’t deny the fun aspect
@@penumbraaeterna1140 Yeah I wouldn't use it in a real important PvP/PvE game though. I prefer more solid choices such as Symmetry or even my good old underrated Borealis. I'm not gonna judge on what other people use cause I have weird weapon tastes
i am seriously surprised to not see Graviton Lance and Sleeper Simulant on this list. I'm also pretty sure the only reason Lumina isn't on here is because I used it to get the catalyst done
heres an idea for getting your audience engaged as well: every video we can submit some alternative version of your intro. most liked comment is the intro you say in the next video. for example, if someone got the most likes on "what is up guys mask of kackis here" you can say that for the next video. allows for audience to engage as well in videos
@@Windreaver256 I'm speaking more on how many of the content creators I watch for Destiny 2 are literally scrambling to make videos about truly mediocre weapons, or silly shit like this. Bungie is screwing over the people that actually keep their player base engaged.
Have you experienced "content droughts"? Like, actual ones? Months without anything happening in D1? The last update with the harbinger quest is literally a bit over a week old and people are calling this a "drought"?
@@markmurex6559 that's the only good thing, but let's be honest when I used it in a nightfall it was amazing bc that one good thing was a really good thing. Endless barrage ftw
@@loganjensen3942 I mainly respect players who use the Fighting Lion because it takes a lot of skill to master. Being hard to use is not often a good thing, and it still isn't in this case- but players who master it get my respect for sure.
I miss Wish Ender from when it was bugged. They should have just turned it into a special ammo bow & given it a catalyst called something like "hollow point arrowheads"
One thing to consider with some of these, like acreus and polaris lance, is that if you don't have the catalyst it loses a lot of value. So even if you did get it from the kiosk, it still isnt a complete gun
The Borealis was my first Exotic that can change it's element, it's been very helpful to me even to this day. And the Skyburner's Oath is one of my favs to use against Cabal.
It’s my dude Rick Tha Thick Kackis! I love your videos my dude! It honestly helps me know what to get and what not to get so I don’t go around spending extra legendary shards I don’t have to spare lol if you have any suggestions I would be more than happy to hear them, but on top of all that, you showed me what I should be putting my time and energy into, and what to move to the trash bin *If you will* lol Anyways, just the point is, thank you for being you and teaching me that I can be me and I can be weird and I don’t have to be ashamed of that! It’s still going to get some “getting use to” but I think I can handle this!
I mained Polaris Lance for a year or two, even in PVP. Went to the trouble of unlocking the catalyst and everything. So satisfying in PVP when you get a double or triple kill because of that explosive round. If you get a game mode like control on Midtown, it's really good for shooting down certain lanes. I'm sure I wouldn't have got away with this in the competitive playlist though. I like playing in the more casual playlists where you can get away with playing off-meta.
Fusions need to be able to hit headshots. And more ammo in reserves And then maybe they wouldnt be dumb shotguns that are worse in every situation Linear fusions and darci need more damage to feel like heavy weapons. Im pretty sure arbalist does almost the exact same damage as a liner fusion rifle last time i checked Arbalist should just be a sniper Linear fusion rifles should all have overpenetration like sleeper simulant Linear fusion rifles should fire shots that are wider so hitting multiple enemies in a line is easier All linear fusion rifles should have chain reaction innately Linear fusion rifles should be balanced around not needing headshots and maybe not being able to headhsot Acrius needs more range because you cant hit taniks with it for full damage without getting in the way of debris Rocket launchers need their archtypes to do something because the only one that does is the tracking one the rest just fire at different speeds doing the same damage. Maybe make an archtype have more than 1 in the mag because why the hell dont they if anything at least the slower firing ones so the firerate means something Make a rocket archtype that fires high velocity low blast radius lower damage rockets in a burst or spread or simething rockets are so boring Why isnt there an exotic heavy grenade launcher that burst fires or something all the heavy exotic grenade launchers are soooooooo boring. Why dont trace rifles actually have their own perks? And if they are going to live off of auto rifles perks let all of the perks work so they have a scavenger and finder perks Make trace rifles a functional weapon type and make legendary ones. One with fourth times the charm and firefly would be fun to add clear with. Make an exotic trace rifle that chains damage to nearby enemies like lightning or something This isnt hard bungie
Another dimension to this is that we’ve still got a bevy of exotic weapons that don’t have catalysts. For kinetics and specials this is a big deal when charged with light increasingly becomes the defacto extra damage dealing perk for your loadout. While this isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker, I know I also go for exotics with masterworks before ones that don’t unless I’m specifically using them for DPS.
Few comments here: Borealis - my main exotic for the last 3 seasons, the only situation I'm not using it is when I got to equip some exotic heavy weapon. An amazing sniper rifle in every single way for me, love it. Darci - well, I've used it until my Whisper's catalyst was finished. A good alternative if you don't have a masterworked Whisper. Jade Rabbit - the most satisfying scout rifle in D2 for me. Stopped using it when got tired of being killed with HC and Pulses, but can use it sometimes for fun :)
Borealis is outstanding for the Presage quest solo. In the fight after the trash compactor, the Hangar, and the final upper floor, it is brilliant for the Scorn captains. In the Hangar especially the captains have different shields, so the ability to cycle the elements on the Borealis is essential.
Seeing Polaris Lance on here was wild. I masterworked mine and it absolutely MELTS through hordes of mobs in PVE. I've recently switched to using Trinity Ghoul for mob melting (because HOT DAMN) but I still keep the Lance on me all the time just because I love it so much.
Though I realize it's legit that people don't wanna buy it. I got it from Ana Bray back in the day. Definitely worth the quest. Lame that they don't have it anymore.
I think the reason why nobody's using the scout rifles is because they're used against overload champions, and we have a cracked-out-of-its-mind combo for dealing with them in the form of the mod that makes solar and stasis grenades disrupt and the one that refunds your grenade when you disrupt a champion
I just tried working on the D.A.R.C.I. catalyst, and ny ammo finder mod was only producing extra special ammo during alters. Normally when I use heavy ammo finders, it rains heavy ammo for my sword or SMG... not the case with the heavy sniper.
This was an interesting list. Didn't expect some weapons on here. Wonder how strong Darci could be with Bakris? Seems like I'm gonna do some testing now lol.
I’ve been using the devils ruin for about a month now, that secondary beam really does a high damage output on top of your normal sidearm shots, definitely recommend using, it’s also pulled some good wins out of the crucible as well!
I’m back at it once again 10.) Skyburner’s Oath 9.) Traveler’s Chosen 8.) Legend of Acrius 7.) Polaris Lance 6.) Borealis 5.) Devil’s Ruin 4.) D.A.R.C.I. 3.) The Jade Rabbit 2.) Merciless 1.) The Queenbreaker (would be the quest version of Legend of Acrius but it’s least “used”, sooo...)
I would just like to say this: polaris lance is CRACKED, its practically the best mix of riskrunner and hawkmoon that you could ask for in the frame of a hyper accurate sniper
Here's an idea for a Skyburner's Oath rework: Reduced damage (one of the worst TTK's in the game, with something like a 10-bodyshot kill). Hitting a target while ADS-ing marks them for 10 seconds. Hipfire shots aggressively track the torso of any marked target, even around walls.
Skyburners been my fave forever because of its versatility in how you can use it like an auto or like a long range scout, its great for pvp, i use it for headshots alot
Great video, @KackisHD! Was wondering if you could put in bookmarks/timestamps for certain weapons? It's the kind of video that lends itself to have timestamps/bookmarks.
I think a fun buff for Queenbreaker is to make the switching of scope easier. Simply tie it to the long reload press like other guns and it makes you switch the firing type.
Skyburner's Oath is actually pretty neato now, w/ the anti-barrier mod and the flavor of the season activity prominently featuring Cabal. Not the best choice by any means, but fun!

Cold heart
The queensbreaker sucks but I like the wrathborn hunt linker fusion
Merciless is also #2 most likely bc it’s still broken, with it’s exotic perk not even working.
I wish Polaris lance instead of 5 it was 4 or 3 precision or full auto
Merciless because it doesn't even work
Like the exotic perk doesn't proc
The reason for the merciless underusage is that his perk was broken
Still is i think

@@CarmensD2AccountJourney you clearly have no idea how to use it. Shit has a .7 TTK, and the beam fucking melts anything. You just gotta learn when to use it.
Queen breaker's bow was my favorite weapon in D1 and they ruined it when they brought it back. They made it a heavy weapon -_- so stupid.
If I'm not mistaken, merciless has been broken. It's exotic perk hasn't been working.
I would have never guessed that #9 (Traveler's Chosen) was used so little in the game. I love that sidearm, did the whole Beyond Light campaign with it.
The video starts at 1:53 if you want to fast forward from the BS.

Me: hm.... Welp I am the carzy guy who made a build with it that is fkn amazing in grand Master
Do tell
I have had a Devil's Ruin on each character, ever since it came out!... I LOVE it and top PvP score boref CONSTANTLY, with it!
14:38
Also, the Exotic Perk is broken and doesn't work.
I contributed a considerable amount to the usage of Skyburner's, Polaris Lance, Darci, AND Jade Rabbit this season, since they we're the last Catalysts I had to complete. I know, I was bored.
I swear if huckleberry is on here, so underrated in my opinion.
Us fellow Chatterbox- I mean Huckleberry users must unite
Sorry I was thinking of a better game
I mean any smg with rampage and outlaw does the exact same thing and it is legendary
@@al4x710 no it isn't the Huck also refunds ammo. Against lessor ads the thing is an orb machine.
here is the list in order with no extra talking, (timestamps if you want to listen to more context)

Bro I haven’t played destiny in so long and I don’t remember the story and I’m so lost but I just wanna play again but like I said I’m legit so lost with where to start lol
same bro
I made a Beginner Guide that might help! Just search it up!
Been playing constantly since 2013 or whenever it started.... Still no idea what the story is.

@@Notatitanmain at 52 i can't remember what I had for dinner
With the exception of sleeper, I think linear fusions should be moved to an energy weapon.
Why in the world did they stay in heavy? Theyve never been able to, as a weapon type, rival anything else in that slot
merciless isnt used bc the exotic perk literally doesnt work right now and hasnt for a while
15:29 I uhh. i have that.
and i have no idea what i'm suppose to be dong with it? And i cant vault it cause it's a quest item
Traveler's chosen needs a catalyst with full auto and a kill tracker 😞
but Rat King is the full-auto exotic sidearm... idk lol
Hey Rick could you make a video like this with the a top 10 most used exotic armor pieces then Vice versa with top 10 less used exotic armor pieces?
Burner at #10... who’s using this lmao
Me to kill repeatedly my friend in PvP to troll him cause he sucks lol
But you could kill him with the hundreds of weapons that kill 10x faster
@@advisedmango9129 yeah but it sucks so much I wanted to troll him with this one since there is no damage dropoff I can shoot longer distances while not killing him fast
I just think it’s fun, and as far as scouts that have infinite range and can use overload rounds, I just enjoy this guy. Never gonna be meta but you can’t deny the fun aspect
@@penumbraaeterna1140 Yeah I wouldn't use it in a real important PvP/PvE game though. I prefer more solid choices such as Symmetry or even my good old underrated Borealis. I'm not gonna judge on what other people use cause I have weird weapon tastes
i am seriously surprised to not see Graviton Lance and Sleeper Simulant on this list. I'm also pretty sure the only reason Lumina isn't on here is because I used it to get the catalyst done
heres an idea for getting your audience engaged as well: every video we can submit some alternative version of your intro. most liked comment is the intro you say in the next video. for example, if someone got the most likes on "what is up guys mask of kackis here" you can say that for the next video. allows for audience to engage as well in videos
How about mask of kakris

I literally live for your updates the highlight of my day
Devil's ruin is my anti-ape weapon of choice, though since Sneak Attack has lost some of it's mint in box luster, it's fallen by the wayside on my end
Rick “can’t skip these ads” Kackis
I didn't expect Travelers Chosen on here, but when I'm think about it...I always say I wanna play it and then I don't play it. Lol. xD
There's definitely a content drought.
Crazy, considering how much content got, well.... removed.
@@Windreaver256 I'm speaking more on how many of the content creators I watch for Destiny 2 are literally scrambling to make videos about truly mediocre weapons, or silly shit like this. Bungie is screwing over the people that actually keep their player base engaged.
Have you experienced "content droughts"? Like, actual ones? Months without anything happening in D1? The last update with the harbinger quest is literally a bit over a week old and people are calling this a "drought"?
@@phoenix9531 Hell, the last two months of Season of Arrivals were more of a drought than this has been
Im pretty sure merciless is currently bugged too. I heard its perk, consever momentum, isnt working
Only here to see where fighting lion lands
EDIT: Huh it never showed up
It's definitely one of the worst. Any legendary special grenade launcher is better.
I prefer fighting lion because its a primary so i can use something like a sniper or shotgun with it
@@jacob-2271 The fact that it uses primary ammo is definitely the best thing about it.
@@markmurex6559 that's the only good thing, but let's be honest when I used it in a nightfall it was amazing bc that one good thing was a really good thing. Endless barrage ftw
@@loganjensen3942 I mainly respect players who use the Fighting Lion because it takes a lot of skill to master. Being hard to use is not often a good thing, and it still isn't in this case- but players who master it get my respect for sure.
I miss Wish Ender from when it was bugged. They should have just turned it into a special ammo bow & given it a catalyst called something like "hollow point arrowheads"
Honestly there shouldn’t be any heavy snipers doesn’t make sense to me
The only one that should be heavy is Whisper. Thing would be so broken in the special slot. But yeah Darci needs to be moved to the special
@@jdhenry1610 I still believe whisper should be moved but I do see your point
One thing to consider with some of these, like acreus and polaris lance, is that if you don't have the catalyst it loses a lot of value. So even if you did get it from the kiosk, it still isnt a complete gun
The Borealis was my first Exotic that can change it's element, it's been very helpful to me even to this day. And the Skyburner's Oath is one of my favs to use against Cabal.
It’s my dude Rick Tha Thick Kackis! I love your videos my dude! It honestly helps me know what to get and what not to get so I don’t go around spending extra legendary shards I don’t have to spare lol if you have any suggestions I would be more than happy to hear them, but on top of all that, you showed me what I should be putting my time and energy into, and what to move to the trash bin *If you will* lol Anyways, just the point is, thank you for being you and teaching me that I can be me and I can be weird and I don’t have to be ashamed of that! It’s still going to get some “getting use to” but I think I can handle this!
Where do you see the actual usage numbers of the guns?
If you buy the acrius from the kiosk does it come with its catalyst?
I mained Polaris Lance for a year or two, even in PVP. Went to the trouble of unlocking the catalyst and everything.
So satisfying in PVP when you get a double or triple kill because of that explosive round. If you get a game mode like control on Midtown, it's really good for shooting down certain lanes. I'm sure I wouldn't have got away with this in the competitive playlist though. I like playing in the more casual playlists where you can get away with playing off-meta.
Fusions need to be able to hit headshots. And more ammo in reserves And then maybe they wouldnt be dumb shotguns that are worse in every situation
Linear fusions and darci need more damage to feel like heavy weapons. Im pretty sure arbalist does almost the exact same damage as a liner fusion rifle last time i checked
Arbalist should just be a sniper
Linear fusion rifles should all have overpenetration like sleeper simulant
Linear fusion rifles should fire shots that are wider so hitting multiple enemies in a line is easier
All linear fusion rifles should have chain reaction innately
Linear fusion rifles should be balanced around not needing headshots and maybe not being able to headhsot
Acrius needs more range because you cant hit taniks with it for full damage without getting in the way of debris
Rocket launchers need their archtypes to do something because the only one that does is the tracking one the rest just fire at different speeds doing the same damage.
Maybe make an archtype have more than 1 in the mag because why the hell dont they if anything at least the slower firing ones so the firerate means something
Make a rocket archtype that fires high velocity low blast radius lower damage rockets in a burst or spread or simething rockets are so boring
Why isnt there an exotic heavy grenade launcher that burst fires or something all the heavy exotic grenade launchers are soooooooo boring.
Why dont trace rifles actually have their own perks? And if they are going to live off of auto rifles perks let all of the perks work so they have a scavenger and finder perks
Make trace rifles a functional weapon type and make legendary ones. One with fourth times the charm and firefly would be fun to add clear with.
Make an exotic trace rifle that chains damage to nearby enemies like lightning or something
This isnt hard bungie
Another dimension to this is that we’ve still got a bevy of exotic weapons that don’t have catalysts. For kinetics and specials this is a big deal when charged with light increasingly becomes the defacto extra damage dealing perk for your loadout. While this isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker, I know I also go for exotics with masterworks before ones that don’t unless I’m specifically using them for DPS.
Few comments here:
Borealis - my main exotic for the last 3 seasons, the only situation I'm not using it is when I got to equip some exotic heavy weapon. An amazing sniper rifle in every single way for me, love it.
Darci - well, I've used it until my Whisper's catalyst was finished. A good alternative if you don't have a masterworked Whisper.
Jade Rabbit - the most satisfying scout rifle in D2 for me. Stopped using it when got tired of being killed with HC and Pulses, but can use it sometimes for fun :)
Borealis is outstanding for the Presage quest solo. In the fight after the trash compactor, the Hangar, and the final upper floor, it is brilliant for the Scorn captains. In the Hangar especially the captains have different shields, so the ability to cycle the elements on the Borealis is essential.
What was the sidearm called that he used with the darci
Guys pls reply can u get hawk moon every day or is it just on weekly reset
Seeing Polaris Lance on here was wild. I masterworked mine and it absolutely MELTS through hordes of mobs in PVE. I've recently switched to using Trinity Ghoul for mob melting (because HOT DAMN) but I still keep the Lance on me all the time just because I love it so much.
Though I realize it's legit that people don't wanna buy it. I got it from Ana Bray back in the day. Definitely worth the quest. Lame that they don't have it anymore.
I love using travelers chosen, it’s one of my favorite sidearms to us. I didn’t think it would be so low on the list 😂
I think the reason why nobody's using the scout rifles is because they're used against overload champions, and we have a cracked-out-of-its-mind combo for dealing with them in the form of the mod that makes solar and stasis grenades disrupt and the one that refunds your grenade when you disrupt a champion
Merciless and Jade's perks aren't working (bugged). So it makes sense that they both aren't used until Bungie actually fix them.
I just tried working on the D.A.R.C.I. catalyst, and ny ammo finder mod was only producing extra special ammo during alters. Normally when I use heavy ammo finders, it rains heavy ammo for my sword or SMG... not the case with the heavy sniper.
Traveler's Chosen surprises me. Hoping Sidearms get an artifact mod next season, then I'll have an excuse to use it and High Albedo more.
This was an interesting list. Didn't expect some weapons on here. Wonder how strong Darci could be with Bakris? Seems like I'm gonna do some testing now lol.
Unstoppable Shotgun Acrius is what I used for Hawkmoon mission. Honestly good against multiple unstoppables since the arc blast penetrates targets.
I expected Worldline Zero to be on here, but it somehow actually reaches 11TH on the list currently. Somehow it has a higher usage than Divinity...
I’ve been using the devils ruin for about a month now, that secondary beam really does a high damage output on top of your normal sidearm shots, definitely recommend using, it’s also pulled some good wins out of the crucible as well!
Borealis is the main reason I was able to solo Harbinger. I was pretty surprised to see it here, honestly
I’m back at it once again
10.) Skyburner’s Oath
9.) Traveler’s Chosen
8.) Legend of Acrius
7.) Polaris Lance
6.) Borealis
5.) Devil’s Ruin
4.) D.A.R.C.I.
3.) The Jade Rabbit
2.) Merciless
1.) The Queenbreaker (would be the quest version of Legend of Acrius but it’s least “used”, sooo...)
Does buying the legend give you the completed version? I never beat prestige leviathon
I would just like to say this: polaris lance is CRACKED, its practically the best mix of riskrunner and hawkmoon that you could ask for in the frame of a hyper accurate sniper
Here's an idea for a Skyburner's Oath rework:
Reduced damage (one of the worst TTK's in the game, with something like a 10-bodyshot kill). Hitting a target while ADS-ing marks them for 10 seconds. Hipfire shots aggressively track the torso of any marked target, even around walls.
Skyburners been my fave forever because of its versatility in how you can use it like an auto or like a long range scout, its great for pvp, i use it for headshots alot
Great video, @KackisHD! Was wondering if you could put in bookmarks/timestamps for certain weapons? It's the kind of video that lends itself to have timestamps/bookmarks.
Best video since your TH-cam career Kackis! Well done! Loving it!
As a Skyburner's main, I'm just happy that my boy isn't excluded to a "wost exotics in all of Destiny" tier list.
I think a fun buff for Queenbreaker is to make the switching of scope easier. Simply tie it to the long reload press like other guns and it makes you switch the firing type.
Skyburner's Oath is actually pretty neato now, w/ the anti-barrier mod and the flavor of the season activity prominently featuring Cabal.
Not the best choice by any means, but fun!
