Best F2P Exotics & How to Get Them Solo 

Merry Christmas! I thought this would help a lot of new players who just got new consoles so I hope you enjoy!

Little extra nugget of info about Arbalest that wasnt said in the video: regardless of difficulty, whether your playing a grandmaster or a hero nightfall, Arbalest will always be able to crack any elemental shield in one shot. Great vid btw!

Monte Calro + Sunbracers on top tree warlock is also incredibly busted You can get up to 6 grenades off a melee ability kill (thanks to sunbracers) and get the damage buff running

trinity ghoul is also great as its one of the best add clearing options in the game with its catalyst. Its a world drop

combine montycarlo with sunbracers for infinite melee and grenade :). every melee kill gives about 5 extra long lasting grenades to spam, and then just get your melee back and another melee kill to do it again. Shreds.

Good content. There's a few exotics here I love. Really like Sunshot but the trouble is that so much of the high level content such as the raids and nightfalls call for a mod so this hand cannon is obsolete. Still enjoy using it for low level strikes and ad clears. I've just got the arbalest catalyst. The weapon works well if you get precision shots but feels so underwhelming when you shoot a powerful ogre in the back. That long charge time and the little weak squidgy noise it makes when you fire. I find that by the time you've aimed to shoot, the enemy has moved and you've wasted a shot. I've heard that the Witch Queen expansion will offer the chance to get the Outbreak catalyst at which point I'll definitely be grabbing that. Really enjoyed this guide. Subbed and happy Christmas fellow guardians x

Little pro tip for risk runner. Unless it has been patch (I do not know, honestly) you can self inflict damage with your own arc grenades and activate it's perk.

Bro ive been trying to get Sunshot for so long. Whenever I play a class I instantly find myself attracted to weapons and gear that can be linked back to that class. For hunters I love hand cannons because thats their signature weapon, and when youre first making a character the Hunter is using the Sunshot, but with Sunshot if you read the lore it was made by a Titan, and since Ive recently become a titan main once I found that out I wanted it even more. I have like 4 weapons left in Engrams, I keep pulling heavy ammo weapons and grenade launcher but eventually Ill get there

for the riskrunner you can throw a arc grenade at your feet and you will take arc damage triggering arc conductor

It's super nice to hear another solo players look on things, especially if they are not ultra obnoxious and are sincere. subbed!

If you really want to, you can put a pulse grenade on the ground on an arc subclass, then you can get the risk runner perk up and running

1:02 this had me rolling bro 😂 “Thorn, more like loser”

Fun fact, you can also trigger riskrunners arc conductor by throwing a grenade that does ark damage at your feet. I'm a hunter whos build is mainly focused around combonation blow and doing this with risk runner is amazing and I can clear rooms filled with ads in seconds

Just started the game about 3 days ago and starting to learn the mechanics, your videos are great I've been very concise and helpful. Definitely giving some goals to work towards to

I love the sun shot, although I dint use it much..it was a blast during the catalyst…yet the crimson is my favorite over all..

would say one thing i used to be a very much free to play player and i got one dlc and got a whole lot of good guns, if u can afford just one mostly the best one being forsaken w the most good exotics in my head, go for it best one in my head and if second u ask definetely shadowkeep but one is more than enough as its alot of money. but for casual players one fusion rifle for free to players too, cartesion coordinate is legendary not exotic but one of the best special ammo fusion rifles to use. get that too, its very good this season hopefully next too. And u should be goated with it. pve or pvp, forsaken provides it. if not all the weapons he told are more than amazing enough, dw about what others have, most destiny 2 players care abt getting the job done rather than the best in pve, ofc pvp ud like to have the best but for pvp u need to get out of the casual stage, spending hrs so that might require time and money in the end so for pve all the guns he recommended are very amazing and u will get them in no time, just like a casual player like me

The Whisper now actually works differently. Every three crits it pulls 2 shots from reserves and 1 shot from thin air.

Merry Christmas Marshix thank you for helping solo players for D2

I just pressed it to watch the speed run for the enjoyment of someone who is really good.

thank you so much because i’m a solo person and i dont know why destiny doesn’t give more support to solos in raids

I have the number 1 gun and thought it was bad, now I HAVE to try it out again

You can also pair the MonteCarlo with the stasis Shuriken works fabulous .

I’ll stick with a risk runner, if you threw a grenade at your feet you get the perk anyways and kills I believe keep it going, so just start the mower and don’t let it stop…

im not even a solo player and i have pretty much all the exotics but i had to watch because your videos are so good

Monte Carlo + akamharas spine ability spam build would be fire

for riskrunner if youre using arc you can damage yourself with an arc grenade to get the buff

Thanks for the video - easy to follow and understand. Also, I now have a new appreciation for these weapons. Subscribing to ur channel. ty

Not in a bad sense, but some things I'd replace/add instead of others: Arbalest instead of Monte Carlo Trinity Ghoul (only when you have the Catalyst) instead of Hard Light, or Riskrunner, or Huckleberry (as it's effectively almost the same, with no need to aim nor deal with any mechanical shenigans) Although Arbalest was already in, what I mean is that there are options like Truth (which mainly is free right now: All Forsaken exotics are available for this period of time so...) Yeah, some are good, but some feel like a good "why". Love the way you introduce weapons to new people though, it is great!

Watch a lot of D2 content on RU-vid, but you’re the first I felt worthy of a subscription because as of late I find myself soloing stuff more and more as I just got back into the game, and many of my friends don’t play anymore. Keep up the good work man, loving the content!

Great information, I'd forgot a lot of that info, but I'm glad you have refreshed it again. As a soloist I've been getting very slack of late, now I'll get my self back into levelling up. You have explained it perfectly 5🌟s

Vex mythoclast probably deserves a spot on this list but great list overall

I got Arbalist to drop during kings fall totems after having JUST found out it was great, the RNG gods heard my disbelief and gave me proof.

Amazing content as always, merry Christmas brother!

That head shot registration... Killed PVP.

Merry Christmas Marshix Thank you for always helping me! You are awesome!

I’d prioritize whisper over sleeper cause once particle is gone in a couple weeks it’s gonna be either a rocket or whisper meta

I was lucky enough to get the hard light before I even hit the soft cap, and it’s carried me through most of my progression

"I'm Marshix, and I make guides for solo players." Me: yup, instant sub.

I got the Glaciocasm (spelled wrong it looks like), with the ''god roll'' with er the mod which the first shot does bonus damage, and then reload some ammo from reserves, when you get a kill. So extra damage on first shot,a nd if you get a kill it reloads. It, with no mods i've put to make it any better, can one shot a bunch yellow bars.

You forgot to mention that the Lorentz Driver is also free to obtain, and is absolutely a top tier option at the moment.

I had no clue Arbalest was that good. I just randomly got it today too lol.

Idk why, But hearing you call Thorn a loser like that made me wheeze and chuckle a bit Thanks for the guides xd

tractor cannon is my go-to in dares of eternity everyone's either running gjallar or wardcliff so we literally melt the bosses ofcz not everyone should equip it, only one person should be enough (to debuff the bosses)

I’m missing some catalysts that are no longer available which is sad…outbreak, sleeper, whisper..hope they give us a way to get them at some point. Just did a grind on the arbalest and forerunner catalyst …ugh. Thank you for the solo player content 👍

Xur brought Monte Carlo last time he appeared and as a new player it's really helping me out pretty great alongside the Assassin's Cowl I obtained from Shadowkeep quest. I've been combining the two with Solar to keep my Hunter Alive in PvE despite my low Resilience.

Back in the day years before D2 became F2P. I don't know how many times I've seen people rage quit from dying from a Sleeper Simulant or the Telesto but it was always funny afterwards when they sent me a voice message were they lost the ability to speak and instead sounded like a rabid fox! 🤣

Great video as always. I love ths Sunshot but getting that catalyst to drop seems impossible. I've been playing D2 for a year and a half and I still don't have it. Contrast that with getting Ace of Spades a week ago and already getting that catalyst to drop and Traveler's Chosen the week before that. I didn't have either weapon very long but I've had Sunshot forever and still no catalyst. I would suggest, with the nerf to stasis ability regen, the Traveler's Chosen (with or without the catalyst) is good to get those stasis abilities back really quickly. It will refund all abilities to 100% after 10 charged with light. It doesn't work for the super but for all other abilities, it's what I run. I replaced my Monte Carlo with Traveler's Chosen to keep my melee ability always ready.

I often use monte with the severance enclosure just bc it helps make so many explosions

Great vid bro , but u should have added Trinity ghoul too its really gud for newer players and its the only exotic bow that a f2p player can get now

I got very lucky to loot an Arbalest during an astral run! I gotta say it destroys an enemy champion in 2 to 3 hits!

Huckleberry feels so good. I just cant find a build it synergizes with particularly well because its non-elemental...

Monte Carlo with sun bracers are very good

One thing I do want to say I would say I’m a decent player so I can say pretty good list but I rarely use “tractor cannon, hard light”

Merry Christmas man!

i higly recommande the outbreak perfect even tho it cost a great deal of material i still use it to this day as a veteran player with all of the exotics at my disposal ! he's just like my little baby.

i got sunshot when you could get it from the red legion campaign

I’m a noob at D2 and I’m trying to get the best hunter build currently using the scorch subclass and this is gonna help a lot. And the monte Carla will help me a lot because my scorch build is mainly for my melee ability so it’ll help really well

I remember getting my sunshot from the old quest and then chucked it in my vault to forget about. perhaps it is time to give it another go

I got sunshot about a week ago and I'm in love with it! Still trying to find the catalyst tho 😂 I'm happy to see it's on this list

Monte Carlo goes so well with sunbracers on warlock

I used to use Monte Carlo with sunbracers for warlock, it was a lot of fun

Guess what the arbalest is a fusion rifle it doesn't work with the unstoppable fusion rifle mod so since it can't break anti barrier and unstoppables at the same time it's worthless

Outbreak is pretty much favorite exotic most fun thing to use I used to use it in pvp with recluse

I have all dlcs and exotics but I still wanna watch

Subscribed! Thanks for the good content

Dude my main exotic weapons are Montecarlo and le monarque

damn 2 exotics in a row from a haul. took me like 30 to get 1

Great video, but the fact you told people to use the Telesto in PvP suddenly made me hear helicopter whirs and a certain guitar riff.

I got the arbalist from the first exotic engram I bought from xür :)

When you said Monte Carlo wasn't considered very good I was pretty confused nobody I know doesn't almost constantly use the thing (including me), it just feels incredibly smooth to use, has a pretty good mag, *and* gets you your melee back? Minding the uses of your melee to get back other things (I only play warlock but arc warlocks in general love this particularly with crown of tempests, and it helps you get stuff back indirectly with stasis builds for shattering enemies) and none of that even mentions SUNBRACERS

Nice exotics but will stick with my exotic I got solo extremely easy and can melt thru shields and melt any player or enemy in the area Le Monarque is my favorite toy.

Bro this man is the best love your content man

Opening strong with Sunshot, love it c:

Monte Carlo together with Sunbracers goes Crazy ngl

Legit everyone of these locations to get them solo was "get it randomly from exotic engrams" or "get it from kiosk"

Good stuff, indeed. And good video for newbies. I have just one question. How the heck you get nowadays the catalyst of the sniper Whisper of the worm? The sniper is good, but quite slow without the catalyst. And in that state there are others energy snipers quite similar.

Thx heaps marshix🤘☺️👍

D2 has so many cool weapons, i spend most my time in game sweating over which one to use... You failed to mention one of my all time fav: Thunderlord machine gun. I mowed down so many mfs with this thing its absolutely insane.

Dude, i couldnt stop laughing after you called out thorn 😂

Missed opportunity to say " Telesto the besto!" Lol great vid for new players tho mate

Who remembers the old whisper of the worm?

You had me at “I make guides for solo players”

The Catalyst for Outbreak Perfected randomly dropped for me in Iron Banner lol

Lol, thought number 1 was going to be Queensbreaker based on the intro, ah Arbie, a fitting number 1

Monte Carlo and sunshot were my first exotics

Great video 💪🏽

Love your content!

i have a glacioclasm with really cool range, i realy like how it works in pvp and pve(i also have reservoir burst and subsistance on it)

Just casually obtained 2 exotics from Xur surprise boxes. Must be nice lol

Try Monte with Way of a Thousand Cuts (Gambler's Dodge and Swarm'nade), Ophidia Spathe, Thermoclastic Blooming, Well of Life, Protective Light. Stuff's fun as heck. Merry Christmas everyone!

Hard light is nice but it takes the energy slot where we need that fusion to be in RIP

We all know that little pic of anarchy at the beginning was so people would see it in the preview and think you were gonna tell them how to get it solo. Low blow lol

I’m a new player, and have most of these. Go figure!

I remember when you got the sunspot from rewards campaign

You forget to mention that arbalest also breaks ALL elemental shields as well as anti barrier, also the catalyst is busted in a good way!

i got sunshot from a normal enemy in gambit, not a high priority target or win reward, just a normal enemy, i didnt even know it was possible to do it and i might be the luckiest person alive

When you realize that you already got some of the best exotic weapons at the time, without having to get them with ciphers

i use tractor cannon to grind down champions and bosses in dares of eternity

Got my sunshot for preordering vanilla in 2017. :)

I don't agree with the Hard Light being on here tbh, sure it does it's job but the Arbalest is so much better. Witherhoard should have had that spot tbh, guns amazing
