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

How to Get Khvostov 7G-0X

You asked, Bungie delivered. Rise of Iron is all about nostalgia, and it is now possible to get an exotic variant of the venerable Khvostov 7G-02 rifle you received at the very beginning of Destiny. It’s a beauty, too. The firing mode, ROF, and weapon perks are all variable, meaning that (in theory) you can tailor this Golden Age powerhouse to fit any situation. To get your hands on it, you’ll have to track down a series of Golden Age directions and weapon parts. [divider] Step 1: Obtain the Weapon Schematic Method 1: Dismantle an original Khvostov to receive the

Gunslinger Modifiers Guide

Hey everyone, Dukaness here with the third part of the Gunslinger viability analysis. Part 1 and Part 2 covered Grenades and Throwing Knives. This article focuses on the all of the modifiers in the Gunslinger Skill Tree. [divider] Keyhole Some people swear by Keyhole, which effectively lets you get collateral kills with your Golden Gun if your targets are lined up. Although it has the potential to get some flashy multi kills, enemies in the Crucible don’t line up and funnel through frequently enough to warrant its use. This modifier is better used for cleaning up groups of ads in

Note: All King’s Fall challenge modes are available! [divider] Nightfall Brawler, Void Burn, Grounded and Trickle What a fun nightfall this is going to be… not. Trickle is almost universally hated, but having Void Burn will balance it slightly. Make sure you stay on the ground, watch out for Minotaurs and Cyclopses, get your Dark Drinker ready. Subclass Builds Warlock: Voidwalker is the obvious shoe in, but combatting Trickle is always difficult, and I would not be relying on abilities – bar one. Put your Ram on, all your melee’s (with Brawler, no less) will trigger life steal, which is

Low-Impact Scout Rifles Review

09/08/2016 Mercules904 Legendary Reviews Leave a comment

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

Quickly Gaining Gear & Light in Rise of Iron

Specific Gear & Weapons My number one objective in Rise of Iron is to get a God Roll version of Dead Orbit’s new shotgun, the Last-Ditch 001. It’s the same archetype as the beloved Matador 64, and you can watch gameplay with it in this video that shows off its deadliness. I want this shotgun because I normally use a shotgun in Trials of Osiris and need to remain competitive. I’m also considering getting into tournament play. Now, I know only a small portion of the player base will be entering tournaments, and maybe you don’t even play PvP. If that’s your case,

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
