i think mountaintop is a pretty cool guy. eh shoots grenades in a straight line and doesn't afraid of anything.
this video in two sentences: look out for: auto-loading/recomb or frenzy (higher level content, big burst damage shots), and/or ambitious assassin/one for all (low to mid level content for spamming at enemies). hard launch + implosion rounds or spike grenades are ideal for minor perks to maximize damage.

Lol the ad read was really great and the traveldanielle cameo too!
I've always loved Jez's ad read, and I love to see that Datto has started adding comedy into his ad reads like Jez, I legit don't skip them anymore bc of how great they are.
factual
Datto actually has the best ad breaks
He's one of like 3 people total on TH-cam that I DON'T skip the ad break for 😂
yeah ill actually watch them😂😂
Datto might just be a comedic genius
He learned from Jez
The way it started right when Jez died got me 😂
Wow, the Long Shadow jumpscare, I don’t think anything could’ve prepared me for that
iykyk
@@flopre9213look?
I was cleaning my vault and came across the copium Long Shadow roll that I’d kept for ages. Had to delete because we now have Supremacy and Thoughtless to completely outclass it. Sorry you never got your time in the sun Long Shadow
If only you knew.
@@elegy8187hell with sunsetting being removed we're gonna be able to use revoker again so technically every kinetic sniper is going to be outclassed
Because of rocketjumping, Mountaintop is a must have in-inventory at all times for me.
If you keep an eager sword you're keeping mountaintop around for the same reasons.
If you play gambit? Welcome to the new speed meta.
What is this gambit thing and is it edible?
Immediately knew I have to farm one as a returning player, The Other Half rarefly ever left my heavy slot lmao
Even better, Mountaintop can be a movement tool without compromising your build at all. Eager edge is fun, but comes at the cost of damage. Mountaintop might not be the absolute hard meta special weapon, but it's more than good enough for most content while still being usable for movement.
@@brandondennis7527 i would dare say movement is as important as damage.
@@theshellderinslowbrostail5422 In some circumstances, yes. But damage is universally important in destiny. If you're going into something challenging with locked loadouts, are you bringing movement options or damage? Mountaintop gives you both.
Was so hyped to get a shiny Mountaintop with Overflow and Recombination until I noticed the blast radius masterwork, no hard launch and no implosion or spike grenades. rip
It’s still a pretty good roll nonetheless
Still just a minimun advantage over other options
Such a small difference you won't notice it. Enjoy your roll.and don't stress. Content creators make content to fret about 5% damage as if that's going to matter.
I kinda get you, I have a normal auto loading with recomb…., and a reload masterwork
@@smallj900 reload mw is pretty good even if you have autoloading
implosion over spike nades is a 0.8% damage buff if anyone is curios. Getting hard launch with spike is 4.4% better than 100 blast radius spikes so you mainly need hard launch
good to know, already have one with hard launch, spike, autoloading and vorpal so I think I'm good, more will come anyway
Got a hard launch, implosion, ambitious, recombination, reload mw shinny roll and I've been loving it.
Frenzy also maxes your reload so you can actually put out the shots faster than any other roll.
Impulse frenzy is an insane amount of reload
@@placeheld9232that's what I got on my shiny. With implosion and sticky. I dig it
@@placeheld9232definitely gonna be the roll I go
Frenzy is hands down the best fourth column perk.
@@Copeharder00over Harmony or Recomb? You’re insane.
impulse amp > auto load imo
the extra reload speed and velocity is enough to bypass the auto load
I know how everyone is saying this, but man I've missed this excitement and the discussion around rolls feeling so much more important. With crafting, we still discuss rolls, but you don't have to TRY to get them. With this, people are saying about how much fun they're having with it, and it feels kinda like earlier D2, even D1 days. Hope we see more of this type of chase.
I'm betting that full crafting is gonna go by the wayside soon
@@dtps_champion6016 it feels like crafting will be there to fill the baseline for weapons, and rng + enhancing perks will be the way to go from here on onwards.
You'll go crafting for "good enough" weapons, and then you'll go Random rolls for optimized damage.
Going for the iconic mountaintop - Anarchy DPS combo, you'll find some pros and cons that make it a valuable choice to run. The bad part is that the DPS gets outclassed by other popular combos. So no min maxxing, especially in normal difficult content of raids and dungeons. The Good part is the ammo economy. MT+ AnarcHy is outstandingly viable in those regards. You'll have plenty of ammo left after a damage cycle where other loadouts stand empty handed. So you trade total damage for having plenty of ammo on round 2/3/4... very useful on harder content or low manning runs! Perhaps in a double special combo loadout can it shine further.
Thanks for this 👌
Sunk 30+ runs to get a SINGLE AL+Recomb roll, WHILE ATTUNED, getting every other perk combination possible. At that point I stopped caring about the first 2 columns lol
Yeah I’m reminded of why I love crafting so much lol
You got every other perk combo? Why not just keep the overflow + recombination roll? Enhanced gets you 3 shots, that's a lot of burst damage on a champ which is basically all you're gonna be shooting it at anyway
killing it with the ad reads my man. very rarely have i watched a youtuber and been excited for one to pop up lol
I love that Mountaintop is really strong but not broken, and also really fun. I have an impulse/recombination roll and I love it :)
Finally, my opinion.
Finally, my confusion.
Who asked
🤡
Exactly.
Our opinion o7 ☭
While I typically think a lot of weapons have multiple rolls worth using Recombination, imo outclasses all the other damage perks in terms of not just one off Burst damage but total overall damage and general use. Just 3 to 4 elemental kills and you already surpass other damage perks. And even in DPS situations your front loading damage that overall is higher.
Actual interesting ad segments, touche. One of the only channels I won't immediately FF through the segment on
incredible ad-work, thank you
Datto damage stats warms my heart and weeps with nostalgia ❤
Been loving my recombination mountaintop along with bait and switch heavies.
Brave weapons are my first time using both and they fight really well into my existing builds to strengthen their dps
This is the greatest video description of All Time. ngl only combo i'm interested in is alh + recombination
That has to be the best insert for a sponsor I’ve ever seen. 🤣 Well done Datto & Danielle. 👏
I really enjoy datto's ad reads 😂
Love the content! Love the ad reads!
I am always happy to see some Ady Datto in my life!! lol🥳🎉
Auto loading is the only perk in the 1st column for me as I'll be using it as a quick swap weapon. Any choice of Recomb, Frenzy etc is good too.
As a side note, sponsor segment was actually the best part of the video.
Datto making a Wutang reference was not on my bingo card 😂
The reason why frenzy is so liked is because it not only doesnt require any setup (just you being in combat), but because it also gives 100 handling and 100 reload automatically, something VERY noticable when doing swap rotations or just when using the gun. Now, on mountaintop this is less of a neccessity because izanagi is in the same slot, but if your exotic slot is already used up by another slot (like gally, tractor, merciless, fourth horsemen, etc) it could be nice. because of this frenzy works in pretty much any scenario, from spam killing ads to boss damage to major killing, it is versatile.
Peak ad, love the bit 😂
I got a Hard launch, implosion, overflow and Recombination and also the same above and Frenzy.
The ability to chuck out 2 micro-missiles in rapid succession helps, when enhanced it would be 3 shots.
For recombination it is the clean up factor with the smaller missile, after the big missiles hit. While frenzy, well your reload will be blazing fast, just that you get to drop off rapid shots first.
So it is very nice burst damage factor.
very optimal of you datto, thank you
That bit with Danielle on the ad was great. I actually enjoy your ads lol
Datto, your ad promotion is GOD TIER! LOL
What an incredible video, datto classic
Editing goes crazy
Auto reload and recombo is a good I want this thing to die role, in onslaught it works well on yellow bars or champion’s especially if you have a build that can easily get high recombo stacks.
A shiny role I’m after is hard launch, implosion (spike as a back up), ambitious/auto load, and recombo/one for all. This has the passive build stacks for high damage shot and a more active spam build.
The edits were hilarious 😂😂 good stuff btw. Be cool
one of the few content creators where I watch the sponsor reads
Informative as always keep up the good work. Are you going to cover any fave returning weapons? Love the title.
Once again, your ads are so much fun!
Why are you bootlicking everyone’s ads lately
got a shiny moutaintop with spike nades, AA and One for All. pretty fun.
the other perks are overflow and harmony (i liked it, but one for all is better for my style)
Lower self damage is ironically a nerf for speedrunners. It was a go to method to perform default spawn manipulation.
As long as you lower your power below 1600 with the dreamers mark it will still 1 hit you
Me: wow I hope I can learn what kinds of Mountaintop rolls I can look for from this video
Freddy fazbear: 0:50
I got the old curated roll and honestly, good enough for me :) its a gun I use when I want to have fun, not when I want to clear content.
Holy Traveler, I did not expect your approach for the Rocket Money sponsor. Great work! If I wasn’t already a Rocket Money subscriber - you would have had me 😂
Genuine question- why did you subscribe?
Great that the reason why sunset was a thing got back in the game, yet stuff that didn't break the game but looked dope like my steelfeather repeater didn't.
datto is the only youtuber whos ad plug i can watch and i hope it stays like that
I managed to get a shiny mountaintop as my first drop of it. Hard launch, implosion/sticky, auto loading/overflow, recombination/one for all, and a reload masterwork. It's like a mini parasite basically and I love it, especially for the rocket jumping.
Wow
U can rocketjump with sticky? How 🥺🥴
@@sexytaco619 Well you can stack them up for a bigger launch, but I keep it on implosion rounds for rocket jumping on the run.
I got auto loading frenzy with hard launch. Pretty happy also got overflow frenzy i just don't think it's ground breaking or as good as wave frames. I love the new strand wave gl I have sideways chain reaction and sideways hatchling... many god rolls and strand has many good extra things you can do. But like I always say it's worth getting a good roll of anything that comes out and holding onto it because buffs or nerfs happen and meta changes often
Im loving using recomb auto loader with a bait and switch rocket for solo dungeons
You can't force me to gain knowledge, Daddo!
This sign can't stop me because I can't read!
@@imLourelindead meme
My most recent shiny roll has Spike, auto loading, and recombination. I'm very happy with it and am going to move onto grinding for some others
The Mrs. Trv cameo in the ad read. THIS IS CINEMA.
To the Frenzy vs Recombination:
That's great and all...but you can't just include Frenzy's damage buff and not factor in the reload boost it gives, meaning you pump out the dsmage quicker compared to Recombination. So the chart there needs to be re-evaluated in terms of time as well as ramp-up
I had no idea what roll to go for for a while, I finally decided on auto-loading, vorpal because I do think I'll use it to rocket jump in some capacity, so I don't want to deal extra damage to myself. I also won't be using it as a primary, so autoloading is good.
Dude, literally the best ad read ever
Blessed to get a (close to) “god roll” so early into release. Hard launch, Implosion AND spike, ALH, Recombo. Anddddd a velocity MW, almost perfect :)
The ad is absolute cinema
Banger video and banger sponsor I found 2 random subs charging, thx Mr Destiny
Thanks Datts!
Obessed with just spamming the left arrow key and hearing Datto go "ah"
Time stamp 😅?
@@Darkclowd right at the beginning lol like the first thing he says in the video.
Took me like 5 mins before i actually watched the video through, I just kept spamming it 😂
Can't wait to run this with forebearance and rain of fire. Already solo flawlessed dungeons with witherhoard in its place but now I can run this with an exotic heavy.
When I saw the perk rolls this could get, I immediately thought it’d be a good bait & switch weapon. Drop a recomb shot and then follow into bait.
Keep a sticky grenades roll if you want it for movement tech,
stack nades for big launches like prospector
For those wanting to grind here is an example god roll. Recomb, auto, spike, hard launch, not blast masterwork. Statistically you would need to get around 300 mountaintops to have a 50/50 chance of this exact roll.
Personally going after the Auto Loading and Recombination roll. I think Mountaintop is a great weapon to set up Bait and Switch with your heavy. Huge chunk of damage leading into your activation of Bait and Switch. Even with my current Overflow Recombination roll I can take out Yellow Bar enemies consistently even in the later rounds of Onslaught.
The only concern to be had with OFA is that you cannot refresh its duration until it ends. As such, there is always at least 1 shot every 10 seconds that does not get the damage buff. In that lower-middle end content where you'd be using a grenade launcher to truly clear adds, there's a lot of gray area.
But at the end of the day, I just.... don't think that there's a place for Mountaintop in that niche. Wave frames are already there and are much easier to use and much more consistent, and we've got a couple genuinely decent wave frames in the kinetic slot.
As you mentioned, there might be a place for ALH+Vorpal/Reconstruction, but what I've seen from heavy DPS optimizers is that even that's not super worth going gaga over.
The state of the game has moved far past mountaintop. We have real kinetic options now for both add clear and special weapon swaps.
Datto: "Be cool guys, we got a new sponsor and I want to make a good first impression"
Also Datto: *starts arguing with his wife mid ad*
I have been running the curated shiny roll of MT for some time and it's pretty great. Not "I am taking you to Raid" or something", but pretty decent overall. Just to ease up your FOMO.
I got volatile launch, spike grenades, impulse amplifier, frenzy and a reload masterwork and it's hella fun
It's wild that simply having new weapons to chase that only come from drops has reinvigorated me to play Destiny again
I tried it and didnt love it but havent tried it much on my main character. Im gonna change my attunement off of mountaintop tho because i want the envious b/s heavy GL but i dont wanna play trials.
God I fucking love Datto ad reads
I’ve been waiting for my opinion on Mountain Top……And here it is,Thanks Datto
Ambitious recomb is the best for beefy targets. One shot of recomb won’t kill champs or majors but having 2 shots will or leave them with a sliver for easy clean up you will delete harder targets faster with ambitious.
Got a spike grenade/high velocity hard launch auto loading/enviouse recombination vorpal mountaintop with a velocity masterwork, and honestly I dont think ill ever get this lucky again XD
i feel like this gun was made for frenzy as its the only weapon with it that you consistently self damage activating it
using it for movement + frenzy
“Forcing you to know” is wild
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin To F Wit, Datto
I'm out here rocking recombination-lead from gold cause I want a pseudo rocket launcher in my kinetic slot. I do kinda wish it got redirection as another perk, where hitting red bars gave it stacking damage vs orange bars, at 20% a stack for just hitting red bars and above that let it go up to 100% and that would stack 20x, using 5 stacks a hit. It would require more effort to build, actually requiring you use special ammo on red bars, but it would give you up to 4 double damage shots that only proc on actually tanky targets and not when you want to rocket jump or kill trash. Maybe bungie had it in mind and thought it'd be too powerful? Idk, I just wish a non-wave frame GL had redirection (or that the wave frame GL with redirection would give me a good perk combo)
Mountaintop coming back makes me look back fondly on the old auto-reload DPS meta. Those were fun times.
I like recombination alh for give chunk damage on demand. I really prefer my primary to be add clear, typically zaouli's with ep and incandescent. This play style works well for me.
Datto making a wu tang reference was not something I had on my bucket list
sticky grenades ambitious assassin recombination is a mini anarchy and is the correct answer for best special gl thats not witherhoard +/- 5% impact damage is negligible when you trade it for ease of use
the way you do ads are very similar to th3jez its adorable lol
I’m running into this issue where I’m so used to auto loading holster on other GLs, actually reloading anything other than forbearance feels excruciatingly slow so I’m chill with my current auto/vorpal build for when something needs to get nuked
I had the same issue, every gl I have aside from forbearance had alh... until tusk of the boar. That made me remember to have to reload xD
Man I was going to settle for my ALH and harmony roll but Datto has effectively changed my mind 😭😭
It’s feels like when you reach the top of the mountain you see your old “mountain top” weapon after all these years
Great vid just one critique why did you consider harmony? You need exactly 2 kills with recombination to match it and when exactly are you shooting mountaintop swapping away and in that 4 second autoloading time not getting more than 2 energy kills before swapping back? I get if you are spamming down a major or champ but if you already hit it with a x10 shot you would need 8 more shots to match the DPS otherwise. Just kinda strange but a great video either way.
i'm happy with my hard launch, spike, auto loading, recombination/vorpal, handling mw shiny roll
Bro I got hard/ quick launch, spike, reconstruction, recombination... when I tell you this thing is so beautiful and f awesome doing 71-80k to a Legendary onslaught gold bar 1 shot, it is the best feeling.
I highly recommend running Trinity goul the arc bow. Because of the chain reaction cause recombination to get ×10 so quick. ❤❤
Mountaintop doesn't have reconstruction ?
@talentrippin3535 maybe auto loading but I swear that doesn't sound right. It reloads automatically after I swap kill with bow then swap back by then it's already ready to shoot
FYI if u dont get hard launch implosion and have spike nades its alright, the damage you'll get is less but by such a small amount it isnt important unless you are a minmaxxer, 2 options
great vid
Nice outline, as always. I'd make the argument for Recombination with Ambitious Assassin or Overflow instead of Auto-Loading Holster. The logic is that those two also auto-load, but with more than one round. This means they don't need to be triggered again to auto-load. They're already loaded for the second shot. Ambitious Assassin takes kills to trigger an auto-load of an empty weapon, but if one is trying to reproc Recombination, kills are needed, and it will load up two in the chamber. Overflow needs a brick, so there is some RNG for that.
This also fits with your point about it not being a good weapon for sustained DPS, so don't try for that. One or two shots, and move on.
Ambitious Assassin triggers on reload. I think you are thinking of Envious Assassin which has the auto-load aspect, which the mountaintop does not roll.
6:43 I love how your explanation of why ambitious assassin is good over a clip of you proving why it’s not. In that entire clip you only had it proc 7/14 attempted times and you were in a best case scenario as you had a bunch of red bars. The problem is people were stealing your dreg kills and because the servitors were too chunky to kill in 2 shots you couldn’t proc it on them either, and you thefore had to painfully slowly reload many extra times as the result of not having something that would actually be better for actively using the gun like impulse amplifier. The only time you should ever even consider ambitious is in combination with frenzy for the reload, and at that point you don’t even need it since frenzy gives 100 reload and the reload speed is literally almost as fast as the rpm of the weapon. You also prove how insanely fast you end up wasting all your ammo using it that way as you run out of ammo quite literally before you are done talking about the perk. A single shot of a volt shot indebted kindness would have killed all the adds you needed your entire reserves of MT to kill. MT has one roll IMO and it’s auto loading and recombination which you pull out to get big damage on a yellow bar or for the start of a boss dps rotation. If you want to use a GL for add clear use a wave frame.
I think Mountaintop will be more appreciated once the artifact gives you the option to use it for champion stunning.
“why do you have all of these sunset guns in your vault delete them” now everythings coming back. Thanks so much datto, master of all knowledge
I came here to see if the witch hunt has started lol
all i’ll say is that with how fast we can kill enemies with our weapons and abilities you only need 3-4 kills (of any energy) with recombination to have a larger damage bonus than one for all. it’s very easy to build the stacks back up if you need that x10 shot but you don’t only have to use the x10 lol
Datto’s ads keeping getting better
