Have you gotten around to trying out the Old Sterling yourself? Also check out my video on Immortals of Aveum here: th-cam.com/video/1tzg10b_fhc/w-d-xo.html
Kept a summoner with Arrowhead High caliber Zen moment Rangefinder Range MW Counterbalance mod And it is the best trace rifle in the game, for PvP! I racked up 3k kills w/ 3.25 KDA with it, seriously you should of kept that roll (as it no longer has that pairing).
Still trying to get a good one, that world drop loot pool is unforgiving :| On another note, at 1:52 in the video.. Adaptive ARs kill seven hundredths of a second faster than Adaptive HCs, not seven tenths. Checking out yesterday's video :D
I've been playing everyday since the season dropped and never even got 1 drop of the new world weapons... insanely low drop rates or it's bugged. Edit: got the auto last night from a Deep dive off and engram on the ground, shitty roll but it's fine for now hip fire and hatchling
Yes. I am tired of typlon and taipan and pleades corrector. I get them all the time. I'm season level 71 and I have not gotten a drop of this strand auto. The only "new" weapon I get is Randy.
Dang it True! I was hoping not one youtuber would mention this auto rifle that is slapping no matter what roll I have. But I guess the AR is out of the bag now lol.
I just got my first roll of it yesterday with rewind rounds and hatchling and now I don't think I need any other strand PvE primary. Seriously, this thing is buttery smooth and mows down adds like... You know what? _It mows down ads like Zhalo Supercell_ - especially when you add unravelling rounds to the mix. If it could roll with subsistence in the third column, then it could legitimately be a strand Zhalo.
as someone who loves autos this season has gifted us 3 good ones. my favourite so far has to be the 'positive outlook' low zoom and aim assist on paper but still feels really good. The perk pool is very good (also very deep) my best roll so far is a 4/5 with zen moment and destabilizing rounds and 89 range its become my go to for pvp. Im still holding out for the same one with elemental capacitor instead of D rounds
This feels faster than Scathelocke with the lower zoom, but if you have that, it still shreds as well. I do hope 600s get a range adjustment soon though, hate dueling SMGs 😬
Never even heard of this gun. Some of these world drops feel rarer than raid exotics since Lightfall launched. The gunsmith sells more than drop in the wild.
decent Old Sterling in gunsmith rn, corkscrew/smallbore, accurized/extended, surplus, and focused fury with range mw. Got this and it felt extremally good in pvp.
Been using one with rewind rounds and adagio. Its an absolute blast in pve as ive more of a pve player. It literaly feels like they heard me wanting a new scathelocke. Its literaly that but even better😭
I absolutely adored Scathelocke when it came out during Lost, so this weapon coming around made me very happy. Not gotten the best rolls yet, what with droprates being garbage, but I live in hope!
I've been messing around with a duty bound that has zen and dynamic swag and it's amazing! It duels super well against hand cannons in the mid to long range and really punches outside of it's range. It duels ok against immortal but that's just how imortal is
@@Michael-ee4uz I hate to say it but i got it my first try after looking for the roll i wanted on d2foundry! When i got it i actually jumped out of my chair and laughed
@True Vanguard try Rewind Rounds and Focused Fury. Great for PvP or PvE as Rewind gives you 67 rounds and once Focused Fury is procd you can safely reload and re proc. Perfect for a snowball build.
I love this thing at base because it feels just like Scathelocke, which has been my favorite Auto in D2 since vanilla. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to get my god roll of the reissued Scathelocke, so I'm just gonna keep my eyes open for a great roll of this one.
Glissando 47 is a great strand scout you may have missed aswell TV would be nice to see that vid 😉 also great vid and banshee sold it a couple weeks back I grabbed it
got the surplus/demo one and been popping off with it as well as a sweet sorrow with killing wind and demo....great gun and it has been fun using an auto rifle in pvp..something i never realy tried until this season..just wish this gun dropped more often but im not going to complain i got a good one actualy 2 of them and it is all good for pvp and pve..
I really wish Bungie would please buff or fix the origin perk so it you ether get the stacks faster in pvp or make it so you do not lose the perk on death only if you switch out the weapon with a different one because you only really feel the benefits of the perk on the high end but it's almost impossible to get the max stacks without dropping an almost 15 kill streak without diying which is not doable on 600 with only one good damage perk so if the perk stayed after death and you didn't swap it with something else your dedication to the weapon is rewarded with the stats increase which seems fair to me
I love watching you make it look so easy to rack up kills in PVP with non meta/adept weapons. I hate getting wrecked in PVP while trying to use the same weapons. I know I know. Git gud and all that. I'm just surprised at how many people in the video were shooting at someone else. Do they just automatically run away when they see it's @TrueVanguard? I've never matched up with or against him which tells me I'm not good enough to matched against him and I'm also not bad enough to thrown in a match with him to balance things out. Oh well, I'm still gonna try and get one of these either way.
TV, you forgot to mention The Summoner, how does this stack up against the most juiced 600rpm Auto? I would argue close but Summoner is definitely the best 600 auto especially with access to adept perks
I was wondering if that was you last night. Literally, had to play my range against you last night with that auto. Definitely made me respect the weapon and the build. #Fury-The Titan
I saw no cake so I'm almost certain there was no literal cakewalk. You monster! Making me hopeful for cake... 😢 In all seriousness though, I am pretty interested in a good role for this auto rifle. I got one, but it is only Rewind Rounds + Focused Fury. I really like the idea of Rewind Rounds, but I want Adagio. I was never able to get that perk on a 600 rpm before and I must have it.
I lost 7 iron banner games in a row today and I had to get off. A 2.3 KD and a 196 combat rating is tough in todays lobby balancing. I miss the days where there was 1-2 players of my skill level on the other team. I didn’t grind and get better for this 😢
Love the content, Tv. Never offended about an emote and you shouldn’t have to apologize. You once said, blame the Devs for the cheesy loadouts people use and not the gamer; I’d say the same thing about emotes. Keep killing it man. 🍻
I like this auto in pve but pvp I think 600s lack damage just like summoner I felt like I can blast tons of bullets and it takes forever to get the kill while 450s feel so much better to kill wise. That’s why ammit feels so good
Also side note… anyone tried using Verity Brow with a Strand warlock??? Build into threadlings y’all!!!! It’s claps… I love it! I’m using perpetualis w it but I may try my Old Sterling roll too!
You should try out scathelocke, it’s the same gun model and has similar stats except it has 4 more zoom (20). The roll I have on it is rampage heating up which is really nice for 1v2s
It's so so so good I'm so in love with it. Got a max range perfect float adagio roll and it felt amazing. (Wish I had something better than perfect float)
This weapon really is the same model as previous ARs. Idk why, but I just like the aesthetic of more “old” looking weapons in D2. From the Dark Age and before it. Really reminds you how Destiny’s fictional universe was much like our own world, until the Traveler came.
Does perfect float and frenzy still have the interaction where it reduces the time for frenzy to activate? Because if so that might be a good pick in pvp too
I haven’t gotten around to testing it yet, but I got my hands on a rewind rounds + adagio roll that I *think* could be really good for kill chaining with FL. I know Adagio isn’t as crazy on 600s like it is on other archetypes, such as two-burst sidearms, but imagine using FL like the ripcord to a gun that doesn’t run out of damage boosts and bullets until it’s out of targets.
Didnt even know this thing existed, they really need to fix the world drop rates, ive only ever got that new stasis sidearm once since the start of lightfall and i play 4 or more hours a day
Have you gotten around to trying out the Old Sterling yourself?
Also check out my video on Immortals of Aveum here: th-cam.com/video/1tzg10b_fhc/w-d-xo.html
Yeah but it's called Scathelocke and it's a kinetic instead of strand.
Scathlocke with surplus and eye of the storm is the better option. It’s the true magnet
Never seen it or been killed by it.
Kept a summoner with
Arrowhead
High caliber
Zen moment
Rangefinder
Range MW
Counterbalance mod
And it is the best trace rifle in the game, for PvP!
I racked up 3k kills w/ 3.25 KDA with it, seriously you should of kept that roll (as it no longer has that pairing).
Still trying to get a good one, that world drop loot pool is unforgiving :|
On another note, at 1:52 in the video.. Adaptive ARs kill seven hundredths of a second faster than Adaptive HCs, not seven tenths.
Checking out yesterday's video :D
I just wish the newer world drop weapons had a better drop rate
I've been playing everyday since the season dropped and never even got 1 drop of the new world weapons... insanely low drop rates or it's bugged.
Edit: got the auto last night from a Deep dive off and engram on the ground, shitty roll but it's fine for now hip fire and hatchling
I wish you could use the seasonal engrams to focus them
Yes. I am tired of typlon and taipan and pleades corrector. I get them all the time. I'm season level 71 and I have not gotten a drop of this strand auto. The only "new" weapon I get is Randy.
They need to be focused somehow
I didn't even know this weapon existed until I got it doing Ghost Of The Deep today
When they drop for you...i never knew this existed because of the abysmal world drop rates.
I got a roll with adagio, and it cooks hard when procced with field tested
I'm really hoping for a roll like yours. Surplus/Demo or Surplus/Adagio seems like it would be my cup of tea. Great work as always TV!
I'd be very curious to try Slideways and Focused Fury, being able to never reload by sliding would a very easy way to proc Focused Fury
Dang it True! I was hoping not one youtuber would mention this auto rifle that is slapping no matter what roll I have. But I guess the AR is out of the bag now lol.

Imagine that a professional gamer being good in pvp with any weapon that they use .
This feels faster than Scathelocke with the lower zoom, but if you have that, it still shreds as well.
I do hope 600s get a range adjustment soon though, hate dueling SMGs 😬
Ever notice how Scathelocke sounds like a helicopter?
Never even heard of this gun. Some of these world drops feel rarer than raid exotics since Lightfall launched. The gunsmith sells more than drop in the wild.
I agree, instead of a thousandth palmyra
Gunsmith is a hero
decent Old Sterling in gunsmith rn, corkscrew/smallbore, accurized/extended, surplus, and focused fury with range mw. Got this and it felt extremally good in pvp.
Got mine with rewind/ hatchling and I love it!
Feels almost identical to the Scathelocke except the Scathelocke has 20 zoom
Instantly noticed that too, compared to what's in my vault and think I'll just play with the PvE one
Scathelocke is even better than the rolls he have. I landed surplus and eye of the storm and it the real magnet
@@madmanawesome I have an arrowhead, under pressure, eye of the storm SL 😋
I was using it in Banner and it feels great. Scathlocke and Gnawing Hunger are some of my favorite guns in the game so this is a natural fit for me.
Been using one with rewind rounds and adagio.
Its an absolute blast in pve as ive more of a pve player.
It literaly feels like they heard me wanting a new scathelocke. Its literaly that but even better😭
I have a max range slideways adagio roll thats pretty good. Even on pc with mnk in the thick of sbmm, it just works.
As a scathelock lover since year 1 this wep makes me so happy.
this ar blew me
Oh….didn’t know autos could do that these days
@@hollowsmough nowadays a legendary needs to do that at the very least for me to make space in my vault tor it
@@hollowsmough They'll even do your taxes and tell you they're proud of you
cringe
Pics or GTFO
Old sterling is my fave gun lol. Rewind rounds works well in all difficulties. You can farm them through gunsmith bounties and he sells 1-2 everyweek
I absolutely adored Scathelocke when it came out during Lost, so this weapon coming around made me very happy. Not gotten the best rolls yet, what with droprates being garbage, but I live in hope!
I bought the roll Banshee sold first week of S21 with Rewind Rounds + Harmony. Feels quite solid for PvE, coming from someone who dislikes reloading.
I've been messing around with a duty bound that has zen and dynamic swag and it's amazing! It duels super well against hand cannons in the mid to long range and really punches outside of it's range. It duels ok against immortal but that's just how imortal is
I have a nice roll like that and it is really nice.
I'm jealous. Farmed for that a bunch last season and never got one.
@@Michael-ee4uz I hate to say it but i got it my first try after looking for the roll i wanted on d2foundry! When i got it i actually jumped out of my chair and laughed

Yep this is what I am using now, it's pretty sick...
Wasnt even aware this gun existed..
I've got one with rewind rounds and adagio. Haven't given it much of a spin yet.
Haven’t really been able to play yet. Will definitely keep an eye out for this. Looks fun!
I love this thing at base because it feels just like Scathelocke, which has been my favorite Auto in D2 since vanilla. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to get my god roll of the reissued Scathelocke, so I'm just gonna keep my eyes open for a great roll of this one.
What is your god roll scarhelocke?
@@Uchoobdood Smallbore, Accurized, Subsistence, Rampage, Range MW
I didn’t even get notified that you had posted an immortals of aveum video. Now I know my next video!
Glissando 47 is a great strand scout you may have missed aswell TV would be nice to see that vid 😉 also great vid and banshee sold it a couple weeks back I grabbed it
I love this sight on weapons, wish it was easier to get though.
I feel stupid I’ve watched a ton of your videos and I haven’t subscribed. But when you said ppl don’t stay till the end It reminded me
I have a rewind/Adagio that I kept. Its AMAZING actually. I look forward to check out the perk pool options and keep maybe one more.
I’ll definitely check out your other video. Great content as always!!
got the surplus/demo one and been popping off with it as well as a sweet sorrow with killing wind and demo....great gun and it has been fun using an auto rifle in pvp..something i never realy tried until this season..just wish this gun dropped more often but im not going to complain i got a good one actualy 2 of them and it is all good for pvp and pve..
Its amazing how much vanguard reading the perks upward broke my brain 😅
How does this hold up against Rufus fury adept ?
Looks like a strand version of Scathelock; my favorite AR other than the Do Gooder V from D1
I am Sterling
This gun is me
*activates old man voice*
Git off mah lawnnnn u dirty kids brrrap brrap
I saw someone using this gun the other day... Hard as hell to even see from world drops!
I really wish Bungie would please buff or fix the origin perk so it you ether get the stacks faster in pvp or make it so you do not lose the perk on death only if you switch out the weapon with a different one because you only really feel the benefits of the perk on the high end but it's almost impossible to get the max stacks without dropping an almost 15 kill streak without diying which is not doable on 600 with only one good damage perk so if the perk stayed after death and you didn't swap it with something else your dedication to the weapon is rewarded with the stats increase which seems fair to me
As it happens, I have been looking for a Kinetic-slotted version of my pvp Gnawing Hunger and I think this will do quite nicely. Nice spotlight, TV ❤💪
I love watching you make it look so easy to rack up kills in PVP with non meta/adept weapons. I hate getting wrecked in PVP while trying to use the same weapons. I know I know. Git gud and all that. I'm just surprised at how many people in the video were shooting at someone else. Do they just automatically run away when they see it's @TrueVanguard?

Oh well, I'm still gonna try and get one of these either way.
I got a arrow head, extended mag,rewind, harmony drop the other day will have to test it out
Got this with surplus and adagio and it feels amazing for me.
Wish Scathelocke was craftable one day that gun model is top tier and almost always comes with good perks.
Whenever I saw it was like a strand gnawing hunger I was excited
I haven’t seen this gun at all yet I think. I’d actually want one with Frenzy. I’m a Frenzy believer. Field Tested would work well with it too
They should've made this into a 450. We already had a Strand 600.
The fact I got hit with a super in that intro had me laughing😂😭
TV, you forgot to mention The Summoner, how does this stack up against the most juiced 600rpm Auto? I would argue close but Summoner is definitely the best 600 auto especially with access to adept perks
Got a rewind round harmony roll and it does slap pretty hard
Thought I was watching a Ford f150 commercial when that montage started
I honestly was like lol TV you " found scathelocke after all this time "
The music for the montage sounds like the same song used on UFC weigh ins
I was wondering if that was you last night. Literally, had to play my range against you last night with that auto. Definitely made me respect the weapon and the build. #Fury-The Titan
Ggs!
I saw no cake so I'm almost certain there was no literal cakewalk. You monster! Making me hopeful for cake... 😢

thanks! i’ll keep my eyes out for my crafted rufus’s fury! 😃
What ever happened to being able to focus world drops?🤔🤔
Scathelocke came back evolved....and now its Greeeeeeeennnnnn
Strand Scathelocke. Love it
seems like the Strandlocke, what's the diff in stats?
Do the sidearms know, TV?
Will check out the Immortals of Aveum vid, sir.
I would love to get a surplus adagio roll
The revamped Mindbender’s Ambition (it got an update in perks last season) could be a fun one. It’s got Surplus now.
How do you get it?
Love the sights on it
Got a real nice surplus hatchling
I got one of these with rewind rounds and frenzy ☠️
I got one with surplus and Adagio and IT IS FUN.
Haven't seen one yet.....wait - just one (checked the vault), with rewind / frenzy. Haven't shot it yet....
Love the content, Tv. Never offended about an emote and you shouldn’t have to apologize. You once said, blame the Devs for the cheesy loadouts people use and not the gamer; I’d say the same thing about emotes. Keep killing it man. 🍻

Got this from the new dungeon much like the new scout rifle
You should try out scathelocke, it’s the same gun model and has similar stats except it has 4 more zoom (20). The roll I have on it is rampage heating up which is really nice for 1v2s
I know it’s a world drop but are there any activities with a loot pool that would drop this more often than others?
It's so so so good I'm so in love with it. Got a max range perfect float adagio roll and it felt amazing. (Wish I had something better than perfect float)
ngl i thought we were gonna talk about scathelocke because of the thumbnail
This weapon really is the same model as previous ARs. Idk why, but I just like the aesthetic of more “old” looking weapons in D2. From the Dark Age and before it. Really reminds you how Destiny’s fictional universe was much like our own world, until the Traveler came.
Banshee might be just as good of a source to get this auto as world drops are sheesh
It's essentially the scathelocke
Saw "This AR Blew Me" and clicked
Wait there are world drops besides the same 4 surous foundry weapons?
I don't know I got spoiled by my OG The Summoner with zen and rangefinder
AR's feel like they are in a good spot lately.
is it worth to use if i don't have a strand build ? or does the weapon is only good with strand abilities ?
Do you have this build posted anywhere?
he out of town thugging wit his rounds
Does perfect float and frenzy still have the interaction where it reduces the time for frenzy to activate? Because if so that might be a good pick in pvp too
Nope they patched that lickity split
How does this compare to Perpetualis?
I haven’t gotten around to testing it yet, but I got my hands on a rewind rounds + adagio roll that I *think* could be really good for kill chaining with FL.
I know Adagio isn’t as crazy on 600s like it is on other archetypes, such as two-burst sidearms, but imagine using FL like the ripcord to a gun that doesn’t run out of damage boosts and bullets until it’s out of targets.
I appreciate your videos very informative.
I'm gonna watch the other vid for you TV. Your dope. I ain't playin the game though. Lol. Maybe I will.
Yay you’re back
Ive never gotten a single drop of this weapon so far
Going watch the immortal vid 💪
Didnt even know this thing existed, they really need to fix the world drop rates, ive only ever got that new stasis sidearm once since the start of lightfall and i play 4 or more hours a day
Dropped a view on the previous vid. Keep it up, TV
