The Midnight Coup Is Simply Amazing - Destiny 2 Into the Light 

I focused this hand canon yesterday and turned in 200 tokens, I got 6 out of 20 rolls for the hand canon 🙃

Midnight Coup was my baby back in the day, still my highest kill counter. Happy it's back!

trying to grind this and mountaintop. i actually want to play the game and grind. this is a feeling i haven’t had in soooo long when playing destiny

Compared to my Austringer, this does not feel as a smooth. I'm not sure if this is a moving target on controller thing that I might not take into account for how the gun feels for you, but for mnk, my Austringer just feels better. Looking at stats as well, with zen and eots procced (which happens every dual really), my austringer sits at 68 range, 78 stability, 77 handling (Smallbore, Ricochet Rounds, Eye of the Storm, Zen Moment). Hand cannons are kinda like snipers in that there are so many that you just need to find the one that feels the best for your personally, and for the Midnight Coup I'm not vibing with it right now. I have yet to get the MT/Zen roll though so I will hold out on definite conclusion until I get that :D

I am normally very bad at using hand cannons in pvp, and avoid them like the plague. I crafted Optative, and got a pretty good roll on Midnight Coup, and these 2 hand cannons have felt infinitely better than every other hand cannon. Im finally enjoying hand cannons like the rest of the world!

I love Midnight Soup. Broccoli Cheddar is my favorite The gun is pretty neat too I guess

It's one of the few weapons that I couldn't delete even though I've been out of vault space for a couple years now. It's always been one of my favorites, and I was late to get one; the sound, the feel, and the size at the time, when I finally received it, I was so excited. I can remember when every pve RU-vid video had this hand cannon equipped. Thanks

moving target and zen moment is just so crisp, I got one with more stability than range but I aint complaining.

Why tf is midnight coup not a lightweight frame hybrid??? The stats fit the bill. I would gladly take less ae or stability etc if it meant we got the bonus.

Austringer still feels better on controller with zen eye of the storm 68 range 88 stability with those perks hard to beat.

I am so excited for these guns, I haven't been this excited for gumdrops in destiny since d1. I got a gold shiny Coup with Moving target Zen moment and then a shiny gold Succession with Snapshot Moving target AR fluted and a handling MW. It felt like drugs 😂

The last paragraph.. Words to live by!! “Use what feels good to you.”

i got a shiny midnight coup with smallbore, accurized rounds, and a range masterwork. as for the perks, i can swap between firefly + kinetic tremors for pve and moving target + zen moment for pvp. what an incredible day

Austringer is still better as a craftable HC. Rose is still better as a 140. Midnight Coup's saving grace is solely its base AE stat and its weapon model. I have a feeling it's just gonna be the flavor of the week, and that's it.

Don't like explosive payload rn, still reduces your damage compared to not using the perk. I can literally kill further without that perk. I don't feel like the range is a problem on this handcannon, it's 100% the stability killing it for me. I'd rather just use austringer or eyasluna. Also, eyasluna has 80 aim assist by base, however it has sights so its actually 85. Only 5 less than midnight coup. Midnight coup feels alright, but other handcannons feel better. Some people will still use midnight coup for the feel, but its not for me personally. Imo its solid.

I also have the firefly+one for all pve roll. My timelost fatebringer has officially been retired.

I use to only ever use auto rifles in my primary slot but now that this hc is back I got rid of all of em lol

Recluse feels like a more available and slightly upgraded funnelweb for pve where as both lunas howl and midnight coup are looking like good pve/pvp hybrids if your lucky in your farms.

4:30 "and finally we have airborne effectiveness" as you vault that wall and clean with 100% landed airborne hip fire was fantastic timing. Kudos

Explosive payload actually reduces your 3 hit kill range now, since crits matter more and the explosive portion can’t crit. It can probably help you get a 5 or maybe 4 shit more consistently and it’s still good from the flinching alone, but it’s actually a reduction in precision damage now

They weren’t lying back then TV. They were on ultra easy mode M&k. I really wish you and others would openly call out other content creators for advising while on the least played version. But good on you for staying roller, and not taking the easy road.

Just here to say, that skeet grenade kill was sick

The midnight coup really makes you feel like a conspirator.

I like how clean the sights are. That's the X-factor stuff many don't consider. good review.

9:59 fella was blown away by pure consistency

Desperate measures in pve is incredible everybody. It’s extremely easy to get 30% damage buff for 7 seconds that refreshes fully on ANY kill. Please ignore TV and go desperate measures. No hate to TV I just think he overlooked desperate measures.

My Timelost Fatebringer has been finally powercrept by Midnight Coup. Hooray

It brought together with gally yesterday I stand by it and now that it drops on onslaught I support it even more

passing on desperate measures is such a sad thing to see, i have one w firefly and desperate measures. and it feels so good to always have either a 10 or 30 % buff

I have an explosive/OFA roll thats very fun and hits HARD. I think it's the most damage you can get on a legendary 140, since the 15% from explosive and OFA work together. I miss the reload speed bonus though. I will definitely keep an eye out for Firefly/OFA or Firefly/Rampage

I dislike 140's in pvp due to the kick from the recoil often covering my opponents body to the point that i have difficulty tracking the target. Hoping zen moment on this is enough to get a feeling closer to 180's, which i only use because of the recoil.

In pvp I’ve been running explosive payload/desperate measures with weighted throwing knife. It’s pretty good. Still looking for zen moment though.

I got a super shiny moving target Zen moment roll today and it is beautiful!

Its OP, headshot hits on red bars are FUCKING 20k dmg. That is the HIGHEST out of ALL handcannons

If I get attrition orbs one more time I swear. Still haven't had a single drop with either zen moment OR moving target. Gun still feels amazing. If I could just get that roll.

90 AA is pretty crazy, but those low range and stability stats are just moving me away from liking it. I was hoping Bungie would make its stats a little more in-line with more recent 140s, but they instead decided to keep it around the old 150 stat package.

I didn't know why everyone was hyping up midnight coup coming back. Then I got one, and I understood.

Still trying to get a roll with decent Barrel, Mag & MW. Something feels a bit "off" for me & it's bugging me haha. I have a Timelost Fatebringer that honestly I don't think anything else is gunna top. I NEED a Craftable one. I've got Fluted, Accurized, EP, EOTS with Stability MW. I use an Adept Range Mod in PVP & I end up with 69 Range, 72 Stability, 73 Handling & 49 Reload. It's an absolute BEAST.

my only issue with midnight is it needs stability like a man lost in the desert needs water

I have this exact roll and it is very good. I have to be honest though, Kept Confidence just feels better to me.

The gun carries me! I suck at hand cannons but midnight is a gem that can hold your hand and keep you in the fight.

chasing the kinetic+explosive...got kinetic+ firefly so far.

1:04 “throwing knives take skill” guys when they see that. Just fell to my knees in Walmart after watching that connect

The problem with using legendary kinetic primaries in PvE not counting stasis or strand but for me is they feel like you’re being held back by not using an elemental primary

Got it with firefly and desperate measures it’s so good

Pali is king of em all sucks for people that can't get it

I got the 5/5, duels great, my only complaint is the sound of the gun, it sounds like 180, almost like a bb gun.

Laughs in rapid explosive rose.

Is it me or does anyone else prefer stability over impact, this is the reason I only use 180 hand cannons because they basically stay in one place rather than dance all over the place when firing, yes I know there are people that can't stand 180's but each to their own I guess

Explosive payload actually reduces range now with the body shot damage changes, even after they made it 3 tap. Zen moment and EP are both not as strong after the flinch nerfs. It’s definitely a new competing option for controller but timelost fatebringer and rose are still better on kbm. They dropped the bag by not giving it slide shot.

We are experiencing Fact Creep once again and it shouldn’t be seen as specific to any one creator. The last very memorable case of Fact Creep was when Bungie took away enhanced targeting helmet mods. At that time we had standard which was +10 aim assist and enhanced which was + 15. So we were all grumpy that the enhanced ones were leaving but NOT TO WORRY! Because now ALL targeting mods were equal to enhanced! Yippee! But NOW Cool Guy is ASSURING us that this NEVER HAPPENED and that targeting mods are only worth +10. WTHeck?? Fact Creep. No here we see Moving Target which a year or two ago brought breaking news that the +10 to aim assist is passive! Always active! Yippee! But now here today we’re told by someone I absolutely consider as reliable that no, it only gives +10 when you’re moving. Fact Creep. WT actual Heck is true??

10:39 But I have over 3,000 kills on my original. That can’t be ignored.🤨🤷🏾‍♂️

Hot take, even with the recent buff, hand cannons often feel outclassed in pvp. The main thing is range. Fighting a prosecutor or a no time or a messenger can feel really bad sometimes, because in longer range fights it just feels like you’re getting destroyed, because you are. Even if you hit all crits you’re still getting out gunned even if you are just slightly out of your range. My exalted truth adept with 80+ range and ace of spades can compete at 34 meters but I have to pick my fights well, because prosecutor is hitting 37 meters easily, and most hand cannons don’t have that much range. Combine that with the slower time to kill and hand cannons just feel really bad. I mean, you can hit nearly 40 METERS with a Firefright, and nearly 39 with a prosecutor. I think hand cannons need an extra meter and a half across the board to compete.

You can get a total of 6 stacks of Zen Moment. Explosive rounds procs 2 stacks per shot.

8:29 brother just OHK'd three dudes with a lightweight

I love the sound from this gun but how is this gonna compete with Rose, ace, hawkmoon, fatebringer?

I got one with frenzy and firely

Miles needs to train with the reserves

Just a small anecdote Eyasluna drops with sights so it always gets plus 5 aim assist, so 85 like the rose

I havent gotten it to drop yet gonna focus mountain top then this wepaon

I like my 70 range with HF, accurized, Explosive Payload & rampage

Love your content and you’re generally a fair reviewer, but saying Eyasluna has 80 aim assist is a liiiiitle misleading given that all of its sights give 5 aim assist so it has 85 aim assist on 100% of rolls. Nitpick I know but just wanted to say it

Here’s a pretty funny roll and not a god roll by any means: Hammerforged, Accurized, Shoot to loot, Opening shot, Range MW for 70 base range. 75 with shoot to loot enhanced in Final Shape. With Opening Shot’s +25 range, you have 100 range for your opening shot haha

I have Moving Target and Opening Shot

This gun was not meant for PvP, and anyone using it in PvP is actively handicapping themselves. Range and stability matter above all else. There are mods and exotics for handling and reload, not range and stability. Midnight Coup has 40 range and 45 stability. By comparison, Austringer has 46 Range and 59 Stability, Fatebringer has 46 range 57 stability, Eyaslune has 51 range and 64 stability, even Kept Confidence has 46 range 56 stability. Midnight Coup is great in PvE, probably best in slot, but to say the gun is amazing in PvP when so many other handcannons statistically outclass it is ridiculous.

I really don’t want to grind for an RNG 5/5 when I have a crafted Austringer, a 4.5 of a Rose, Ace, Thorn, Last Word, Eyasluna, Fatebringer and Hawkmoon all in the same slot. It’s a nice f2p option but Fatebringer, Hawkmoon and Rose are all f2p as well.

How do you feel about lunas howl coming back?

Love the controller gameplay ❤

I don't know if it's the aim assist stat or what, but this gun feels so snappy and accurate. Sounds great, and for some reason in PVE I just can't seem to miss headshot after headshot.

6:45 I’m pretty sure the moving target description has been wrong for years and it just gives +10 aim assist at all times regardless of whether you’re moving.

I hate hand cannons. That said, this one impressed me when I played with it.

So does explosive payload nerf actually lower your range since you do a little less damage?

Looking forward to getting a good pvp one. I got a decent pve one so fsr

I’ve heard that explosive payload didn’t extend the range anymore 😳

EP does not give u more range. EP actually now give u less range than if u didn’t have it on now bc of the new sandbox. Tho EP does give u further 4 tap potential but less 3 tap potential.

Will mtashed come back for into the light? 🤔🤔🤔

great vid as always

I haven't found a comfortable roll for me my zen moment explosive payload is my best feeling version but it's maxed out at a 50 range and I can't really hang with it but I also am trying it for the first time I never got it the first time around

Midnight Coup is the best sounding gun in the game. :)

Coup just needed slide shot in the 3rd column, otherwise it’s just a worse rose with zen moment

Really hoping to land a explosive payload/zen moment roll!

Stop sleeping on attrition orbs. It pairs nicely with kinetic tremors. I already have 1000 kills with it

Does anyone know how to focus brave weapons beyond attuning?

i think you killed that mcflurry guy over 20 times in this video across various matches

I left the game for a while and I returned to hear everyone talking about Zen moment. Seems like something they will nerf soon

Bungie said power creep be damned, we've got to get people playing so we can hard sell them TFS!

love your videos. i wish you had timestamps though.

Does firefly proc kinetic tremors?

Tv, I need you, my Chromatic Fire friend, to give me the best combo for use with that exotic in particular in PVE. I’m inclined toward Firefly/Rampage to chain things because I haven’t enjoyed one for all so far. For whatever reason the setup has been frustrating to me, but maybe with firefly it wouldn’t be so bad.

thanks for the video bro

I suck so bad with hand cannons in PVP. Tips?

20 hrs using diff rolls... by FAR Explosive Payload / One For All the best PvE roll

I've landed 14 drops of midnight coup, 13 of them have had a reload MW. I can't begin to explain the pants hurt I'm experiencing

Does firefly trigger precious scars on solar titan? 🤔

I know coup, is pronounced cou, but I'm finding it so funny. Cou in the north east of Brazil means bum hole. Haha.

I haven’t got a single roll with range. I know it exists.

Should’ve been a 150 with LW..

And than i get my 73 Range slodeshot/eots Rose for a spin and within 5 min every Midnight gets trashed into legendary shards....🤣😉

I've been farming the crap out of this and have gotten Attrition Orbs frenzy 7 times!!! Wtf Bungie???

Why does no one include fate bringer in these reviews
