57 Incredible Weapon Details in Destiny 2 

Be honest, did you know about the Dire Promise one? Watch this next: 17 Exotic Combos You NEED to Try in Destiny 2 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C5IBgfuQkN0.html

Another detail: When you lock onto someone with Eyes of Tomorrow, the green eyes turn red.

Malfeasance also tries to escape from your hand when you swap to it. It physically pulls away for a split second before your Guardian gets control of it again.

Speaking of Witherhoard, I wanted to share on more fun fact: If you reload with Witherhoard, you’ll notice nothing comes out of the gun when you open it. However, if you become empowered or receive some type of glow, you can actually see an invisible shell coming out of Witherhoard that was intended to be invisible

Another detail I personally really like: The Heir Apparent actually has a cabal numeral ammo counter just like Skybuner’s Oath!

A few other neat details to me: Outbreak Perfected's scope will highlight targets that have nanites attached. Darci and Lord of Wolves use the Auto Rifle reload animation while Bad Juju uses the Scout Rifle reload and Hard Light uses the Pulse Rifle reload. Sturm has a very unique reload that you'll probably never see since its whole gimmick is to get reloaded by energy weapon/Drang kills. Borealis has a different firing sound for each element. The hoses on Coldheart will start to glow and defrost while firing.

I actually never knew about Xenophage's bug ammo, and that hat is hilarious haha By the way, the sword on Wish Ender also drains as you begin to lose your grip on the arrow and it'll fire when it reaches the sword's tip. Duality is also really cool because the animation that occurs while ADSing draws from its exotic perk name, "Compression Chamber".

Fighting Lion also makes a low Lion-esque growling sound whenever you fire it. It's just typically overshadowed by the explosion and reload sounds so you don't usually recognize it, but it's there c:

Another detail: on the Parasite GL depending on how high you aim, it shows the height of the curve on the left of the scope

Maybe do little details in raids, patrol spaces, strikes etc? lots of neat little hidden things on the dreaming city, nessus and even the tower!

Banger video! I didn’t know about the dots on the Tarrabah sights, that’s a really useful one 🤔

Other fun details: 1. The bow string on leviathan’s Breath is a bike chain. 2. The prospector has a cool reload animation. 3. You can see arrows fired by all bows sticking out of enemies. 4. The Wardciff Coil is a reference to the Wardenclyffe tower created by scientist Nicola Tesla. 4. The titan and hunter also have a legendary ornament that pairs with an exotic to make glows. Cloak of Bakris with Mask of Bakris for hunters and Mark of the Falling Star with Cuirass of the Falling Star for titans. 5. Skyburner’s Oath, Heir Apparent, Grand Overture, Legend of Acrius, The Queenbreaker, Lord of Wolves, and Dreg’s Promise are all just usable versions of weapons used by the enemies. 6. Legend of Acrius is a reference to the Greek legend of Icarus. I may have missed some but that is all I can think of.

Little details like this are some of my favorite in FPS games. Halo 5’s Idle gun animations are a great example.

The Ahamkaras Spine spine bones also move from time to time when you have them equipped only with the OG form of it without the ornament

Also, the ace of spades will steam instead of glowing like all the other guns when the player has an attack buff

This was sick, little details are always the best and I’m sure if artist from destiny see this appreciate a video like this

3:24 it is not actually outlaw it's fire fly that makes u reload faster that's why the fatebringer will sometimes reload really fast. A precision final blow(fire fly explosion) gives you the increase in reload speed

All classes have a class item that works with an exotic btw. Hunters works with mask of bakris and titan with falling star chest

ALSO, the Corsair's Wrath has two SWEET animations: 1. A Charge Time Indicator while aiming down sights & 2. An AWESOME\BADASS Initial Charge Up\Ready animation after reloading(an empty mag at least)... If you don't have it & wanna see, let me know & I'll make & link a demo vid...

Some other details: promethium spur boots for warlock light on fire when your dawnblade is charged, transversive steps secretly keeps its crouch walk speed buff from its destiny 1 perk, outbreak has its destiny 1 perk persistence built in (stability and accuracy increases the longer you repeatedly fire without pause).

Another detail: like with Celestial Nighthawk, Heart of Inmost Light's cracks will glow when your super's ready.

As far as #32 goes, each of the classes get a unique effect when the legendary ornament is worn alongside it's namesake exotic. Mantle of Battle Harmony for Warlocks, Mask of Bakris for Hunters, and Curiass of the Falling Star for Titans. It's a shame the effects only seem to apply to the base exotic and not any of the ornaments though.

A couple more. Two Tailed Fox actually let’s put a little chuckle when you draw it. Another obvious one is Polaris lance lights up to indicate head shots towards perfect fifth. Thanks for the video!

2:11 Monte Carlo has something similar, is more of a keen sounds that matches the movement of the blade when you draw it or reload it

Holosights on various guns such as coldheart, sturm (i think), have a far reticle that pops out of the main one, zooming along the length of the gun when you go into ADS. Its a lovely little thing ikelos weapons' little side cubes heat up a lot when firing, likely heat radiators, which suggests to the high energy within them. sadly this doesnt apply to the ikelos field testing ornament for the polaris lance veist weapons' bullets have a green tinge to their trail, in addition to the colour of the element they use. i wonder what that implies? a whole bunch of exotics dont release casings when firing, and not always those you expect even weirder to add to that, riskrunner will release casings in normal mode, but doesnt in conductor mode. is it firing the whole bullet, for 60% more bullet, per bullet? in any case the holes they make in the ground almost suggest that non-conductor mode should be kinetic damage, since they make kinetic coloured bullet trails and holes spending time paying attention to the weapons you hold and the armour you wear can be a nice way to give players like myself who are motivated by immersion and feel a much needed boost to motivation to keep playing when you feel like doing weeklies is monotonous. try treating that stuff as a testbed to see what detail you can immerse yourself in

theres also the prophecy vex weapons from season of the undying, where the milk tubes light up and get more and more electrical when you fire. fire enough shots with last progency 1 and the vex portal looking scope makes a pulse/surge of power and almost opens up a vex portal.

Gjallarhorn snarls at the player, when equipped. One Thousand Voices has a very gnarly bone-like growl, when reloaded. If a trcking Module is equipped ton a RL, the reticule light up, when acquiring a target. The Vex Mythoclast GG ornament change colour when switching firing modes. Forerunner Solstice ornament has an ammo counter in hipfire. I'll add more if I remember any.

1. On the bow Whispering Slab (I don't know if there are others like that) the arrowhead is different on the model (cone shape) vs when the arrow is shot (kind of triangle shaped). 2. The Ace of Spades ornament Salute to the Colonel has a small chicken instead of the regular hammer. 3. When using Oathkeeper and Wishender, the sword on the figurine shows 25-33% charge, instead of 100%.

(With regards to number 3) The same thing occurs with the 2 bull heads on the sides of the iron sight while ADS. (With regards to number 15) I’m almost certain the palindromic description was the same in D1. Goes to show Bungie’s lack of creativity. /s

I've always loved and stuck with Destiny because of the weapons. Bungie is amazing with their weapons (most of the time). I already knew most of these but it was nice learning about some new ones.

I love the Dawning Ornament for Xeno with the little hat. When I realized it, I was just blown away at the little detail. And no, I didn't know about Dire Promise, which is odd, as its one of my favorite hand cannons, even if its not in a good place right now.

Tommy's matchbook also has a unique reload, similar to its real world counterpart, the Thompson SMG.

If you aim in with veist weapons and spin in a circle, the numbers around the reticle go up and down. It's a compass, and I first noticed it on the Recluse smg.

My favorite cool detail is the fact that telesto is sentient

It’s so crazy that you posted this today because I noticed a cool interaction with the Battle Harmony armor pieces. The glow that appears on both of the armor pieces will adopt the color of the glow of the shader applied to the bond so that the glows are always matching… or harmonized, if you will.

Veist weapons also have their own unique reload animation. Malfeasance bullets leave a trail of darkness behind them. Current iron banner weapons catch on fire during the hunt.

i'm always so disappointed that so few people notice that duality has 2 different firing sounds. A Chunky blast for hipfire, and a highpitch ping for ADS

I personally like the moon handcannon (Loud lullaby), when you reload you can hear a feint whispering

VERY subtle but whisper of the worm has lights on the side than get brighter on controller as you pull down the trigger. Easiest to see without ammo so you can pull all the way down.

Drifter isn't a bad guy in Gambit. He's just on his own team for gameplay purposes. Trust ;) GeoMag Stabilizers used to crackle with electricity while you were sprinting to top off the super meter, but it no longer does it at all since the topping off perk was removed. Shame because it looked super cool. I wish Bungie would add the electricity effect to stormcaller anytime Electrostatic Surge was active with increasing effect for stacks of it. Cerberus+1 also has tiny light indicators on the ADS sight that correspond to the shot pattern as it rotates steadily around.

Certain Armor sets have special vfx, like the Ikelos Armor shows the WarNet light up around you when your shield breaks, or Reverie Dawn

One thing you didn't note on the Lament is that it wails rather noticably on the last swing of its special combo which is very much in keeping with its name, 'The Lament'

The dead messenger effect also works hard light and borealis certain ornaments make it easier to tell for both those weapons tho

fun fact: Legend of Acrius’s ADS speed is atrocious.

0:11 it's not when you aim at an enemy, the angry face indicates that the gun has locked onto the enemy with its tracking rockets.

Pulling the hammer back on HCs is something I do when i'm bored. Great video

#51 that sound is actually a breast pump not a chainsaw

Realllllly wanted to make this video longer than 10 minutes eh? I mean... who doesn’t know the ace of spades twirls when you reload it ,’:/

9:55 correction, the barrel actually opens on both sides(it's much more noti eable with the first ornament it got) Also, most of these are known by many people

All the new 'Exotic' class item ornament interact with their exotic armor piece

Had to stop listening when he yallarhorn

i swear i heard subscribe like 3 times in this vid lol

Hey bro, new here but your fashion show videos and videos like these made me a subscriber! Thanks for the great content!!! I am about to watch your PVE tips vid actually!! Can't wait to see what's to come these upcoming seasons!!! Especially with LightFall on the horizon, what a time to be a Guardian

This season all class got a class item that produces an affect with a specific exotic. You for got the synthoceps in base and with the siva ornament will glow based on subclass when the perk is active

Most of these were ammo counters

I was running a solo duality and for the first time, I realized that dmt also has a kind of western whistle sound effect when you reach x5 cranial spike, I actually tested for a few minutes just to male sure I wasn't hearing things, probably never noticed because is really subtle and theres so much noise when you're in a fireteam.

If you ADS the huckleberry and start firing you can see the bull symbol lighting up as you get stacks from it's perk

This was a really great idea. I had no idea, bungie spent this much time on their weapons. Another idea could be small details around each planet.

Pattycakes? Didn't this channel used to be called Cammycakes? Or have I unknowingly jumped to a parallel universe... again

"Details you never noticed" *Continues to also include very obvious things like Lost lament's engine, Forensic Nightmare ammo, cryostesia's model spinning, etc* Criticism aside on the obvious ones, many of these were indeed things I had a "Wait what" or "Really??" reaction to xD

Back in D1, the exotic sniper rifle, Hereafter, has a scope with a bar that provides information on the status of your super bar. Not too useful to be honest. Also in D1, the Hakke scopes for the pulse and auto rifles would give you the status of your grenade and melee ability. As far as I remember, the Hakke rifle scopes in D2 have lost that functionality. Also, Hakke pulses were the OG 4 round burst before they became cool.

Another fun fact if you equip a flawless emblem your trials guns and armor will glow certain colors, different emblems do different colors. For example if you equip the “Flawless Empyrean” emblem certain parts of your trials guns and armor will glow red if you inspect it, although you can’t really notice in when you hold it. P.S. this will also work for the trials skins for: outbreak, ace and colony, idk if it works for ace and colony since I don’t have said skins but I assume it does.

That Dire Promise and Rat King one i didn't know about. Those are cool. Thanks for sharing

If you look really closely at Crimson, and think about it, you'll realize it's ballistically impossible for a gun to work that way since it hasn't got anything special about its firing mechanism. God, I miss Red Death...

Caw caw ???? DAFUQ THE HAWK MIIN HAS A FUCKING RED TAILED HAWK SCREAM ....... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Path Of The Burning Steps' effect is only active when the buff "Firewalker" is up. Any other time and the boots are, in a way, dormant.

I happened across a unique reaction today as well.If you put the photo finish shader on the new sparrow we got from the solstice event.The illuminated designs and the sparrow will constantly change colors.It's pretty cool to see things like these little details in a game that you love.

A detail I want to see again that Outbreak Perfected doesn’t have is that in D1, the scope on Outbreak Prime will have glowing red lights telling you that a SIVA swarm is ready followed by an activation noise. I know that it would be a bit useless since the perfected version makes swarms on almost every precision kill, but it was still cool.

Ace of Spades doesn't have outlaw, it's got Dragonfly which is basically just a combination of outlaw and solar dragonfly. Just incase anyone was confused

“Bordering on pay to win” ? Brub when you gotta buy an entire DlC just to even get the weapon, I’d say it’s already pretty sus in PayToWin aspects.

You can hear a purr like sound when you pull out Gally. More importantly, you can hear the enemy pull it out in Crucible from a decent distance away

Did you know that guns could shoot? I’m sure you probably overlooked this detail. That’s the energy that half this video has.

Fun bit about omolon weapons is the fluid has inertia. If you run backwards or forwards the fluid sloshes in the tank.. Also that HC half cock detail is pretty sweet. Legit might play on controller for a bit just for that.

Wait wait wait wait wait…. There is a bug in xenophage?! And he has a name?!?! AND HE GETS A HAT?!?!

The new and recently disabled Exotic Quicksilver, when you're at the tower, and swap to it, you can see it go from rifle mode, to grenade mode, back to rifle mode with an added red glow on the spikes while it's on your back.

Overall the video's great, but some of these are flat out just you trying too hard lol the detail for malfeasance is the guardian readjusting their grip, not them shaking. Literally every hand cannon does this. And saying if you aim, you see your ammo counter as a number, isn't really a detail worth while. It's obvious and it's not interesting in the slightest. Again, great video! But some of these just weren't worth putting in the video and lessens the appeal of it

1:50 Another cool fact to Ikelos weapons! If you see closely enough, You'll notice that red dot in the middle didn't fully centered. No thanks for me 😄😄😄

“It makes this really satisfying whip sound.” 👨🏼‍🦳

im a returning player looking for some friends to play with because none of mine play i have alot of experience ive been playing d2 for about 4 years but i just decided to pick up the game again so yeah i would really appreciate some help :) (im on PC)

Bond of Battle Harmony isn't the only one. Each season this year so far has had a legendary ornament that pairs with an exotic armor and causes additional effects for both. This season titans have the Doom Fang Plate which gets void effects while wearing Doom Fang Pauldrons.

3:08 looks like Aunor was right after all If you don't know, Aunor Mahal is a Pracic Warlock that despises Drifter. She thinks he's a threat to the city

A cool fact about deathbringer is whenever you fire the weapon you can see the color from the gun leave, and it makes the same sound of the death song from the mission you get it in! And also in the Quicksilver storm weapon whenever you’re landing consecutive hits, you can actually see the missile on the right hand side of the gun slowly build up until it launches off!

Hold on, the way you phrased it made it seem like you found out that thorn shoots thorns recently.... The fact that it shoots thorns is LITERALLY the first thing we see it do. When thorn was first teased there was a trailer that featured the thorn shooting three thorns that stuck into a holographic in the New Pacific Arcology.

Nothing about how Fr0st-E55 put a graphical frost over the hunter's legs while sprinting?

If it takes a near 100 hours to make a 10 minute video, you’re doing something wrong.

#27 apparently the gun used to have a different sound effect for shooting back during red war. I don't remember when this was changed to what we have now

The HC "hammer pull" is a detail I loved literally since the beta. I thought it was so damn cool! 1:40

Everyone be enjoying red dot sights as ornaments or just normal sights but I be crutching and enjoying the chevrons more, that's why no sniper will ever be as good as Dreaded Venture or the tangled shore weapons

another lil detail is on the Seventh Seraph sidearm. The end of the barrel heats up as you fire it, however if you run DSC it doesn't do it in portions like Atraks or the Spacewalk.

Yay!!! Another banger of a video Buddy!!! Enjoyed this! 😉

wowza

I love how destiny is one of those games that you can play without HUD and by details alone you can tell your ammo count sound queues to know abilities are charged, and your screen border can tell you if you have full health or not

Fun fact we technically have recon in destiny . The tiger helmet ornaments you get from the 30th anniversary pack it becomes a flaming helmet when around enemies

Ace of spades and many other hand cannons shoot out empty bullets even tho you put in one big BuLLeT. And there is no exit place for them to come from. They just appear

this started out good utill you were like "the lament makes a chainsaw sound" fucking LMAO

When my mic was broken I communicated by writing out our drawing things with my thorn bullets in D1.

Most underrated and unknown one is Promethium Spurs glow when the warlock has their solar super charged. Turns into one of the best looking pieces in the game

6:24 in d1, celestial nighthawk would light up whenever you ads, and would be brighter if you did so in your super.

The light on the wishenders sword actually ticks down and the bow releases when it fully fades, it also has a neat interaction with the gauntlets that let you hold bows indefinitely

If you are in tower as a hunter and using DSC cloak, all your weapons in the back will be displayed upside down or in a inverted position.
