Wrath of the Machine Weapon Review

09/20/2016 Mercules904 Legendary Reviews Leave a comment

The newest Destiny raid weapons look to have taken a leaf out Year 1’s book, deciding to add extra raid-specific perks to the weapons’ intrinsic slots, as opposed to replacing something from the perk tree. This is a very good sign, as it adds to the usability of the guns instead of decreasing it. These weapons do not appear to be dominant in all modes, instead focusing their skill trees on things that are designed to make them either go-to weapons in PvE, or competitive choices in PvP. The actual execution of this plan varies from weapon to weapon, so let’s take

Low-Impact Scout Rifles Review

My constant quest to find guns overlooked or undervalued by the meta has led me to try a whole host of different weapon and perk combinations. That being said, I’m not sure any has ever been as fun as the pairing of low-impact scouts and Full Auto. I began to test this weapon archetype long before RNG blessed me with an optimal roll, but I never really felt the love for it until Banshee bestowed upon me one particular DIS-47. This weapon changed the way I looked at low-impact scouts as a whole, and convinced me that they could be

The State of Heavy Weapons

Rocket Launchers Although we’ve come a long way from the days where most launchers could grab four rockets per heavy ammo brick in PvP, they’re still highly used in competitive multiplayer, as well as most PvE activities. Slightly difficult to categorize due to the huge variance in stats between the most popular versions, I’ve found it best to organize them by rate of fire, for reasons you’ll see below. The first rocket launcher archetype has the fastest RoF, and currently only has one member. It makes up for its quick follow up shots by having both horrible blast radius and

The State of Special Weapons

Sniper Rifles Perhaps simultaneously the most used and most hated special weapons in the current state of the Crucible, sniper rifles are in their Golden Age. With the majority of primary weapons suffering from either damage, range, or accuracy nerfs, snipers are free to run rampant in all modes, turning even the shortest hallways into sightlines filled with scope glares. With 5 distinct damage profiles available for the discerning sniper to choose from, most people tend to focus on a few things: ability to snipe targets out of supers with one hit, ability to kill a recently revived player through

The State of Primary Weapons

Scout Rifles Possibly the most balanced overall class of weapons in the game, each archetype has its own distinct purpose and optimal usage. High impact scouts like the Cocytus SR4, Hand of Judgment, and Badger CCL are the riskiest, but most rewarding archetype in the game. While consistent critical shots grant one of the fastest PvP times-to-kill in the game (0.80 seconds with 3 crit shots), missing one or two shots will generally guarantee a death, as the body shot TtK drops to 1.60 seconds, and marks these weapons as some of the least forgiving primary options. The mid impact
