An off-topic rant: This is a brand new gun model. Looks lovely. In contrast, the raid weapons (except the sword i think) are all just your default green pulse rifle with half a body kit and scope on it. Dont get me wrong, as long as the raid weapon feels good in your hands (the pulse does so very much imo) i dont care much about the looks but i think those should have gotten the complete treatment like VoTD weapons.
I was lucky enough to get a 5/6 god roll on the first week it launched before the bug, even then the only perk (zen moment / desperate measures, fitted stock stability masterwork) I didnt really want desperate measures but then its not a bad perk or a wasted slot so i cant be mad about it
@@trevorbraden5448 idk why you guys hate kvostov so much. its not even good. not our fault the people coding it fucked up and gave it built in zen moment
@@inasty16 right, but because the rapid fire frame autos have a big magazine, I wouldn't have thought target lock would kick in before your opponent dies.
Really liking this AR, got a Killing Wind+Golden Tricorn roll and it’s a beast in pvp. It forces me into a run and gun play style, one I don’t do often.
I got the same roll. I think it was one of the fixed rolls that was dropping.? Thing is beastly. Strange though golden tricorn isn't even listed as a possible perk on the foundry perk app options 😂
@@jackforsey1622 Well it's still a pretty awesome roll IMO. I know they've swapped perks on guns in the past, I really hope they don't do it here. I really like Tricorn on this thing.
A lot of people saying The Riposte is the first of it's kind...technically yes....but no. There has always been another Lightweight AR, given it was a Green rarity, but it's actually always been pretty nasty to use too. I remember always dueling my buddy in private matches with it
The map and my refusal to swap to a scout almost made me give up on flawless for the first time in a while... Then I pulled this bad boy out and shot up to flawless. I will be using this until I get my 5/5 crimils.
I can’t relate with your Comp statement; 15 min to load into a game. Sometimes it’ll time out completely around 20-25 min mark. Same pool of about 15-20 players, all uber sweats. Why am I, a Floridian - playing Brasilians, French, German, Poland, Greece. Dudes rocking over 300 ping apparently laser beam accuracy. It’ll also load me and randoms against full on 3 stacks. Every time I get close to adept one I get slapped onto a two stack that is no where near comparable to the enemy’s. Like .17, .3s and .4s - consistently. I can’t carry shit like that. One of these dudes literally wrote me to just use a xim, so I’m over it at this point. I’ll win a game by one point and come in first, triple whatever kills either teammate had and it’ll give me 50pts comp score, I lose the next game and it -131 (why? I don’t know, it’s not transparent, explained, or rational.) Trials is easier by a landslide, control I can drop 40-50 as a solo. Comp it’s like I never played a day in my life.
I also play solo and deal with the same shit. 99% of people will just tell you to play stacked, but that shit is so boring imo. Every season, I just get ascendant 3 and never touch the Playlist again. not worth the time.
I have this friend who was addicted to using auto rifles for years. Before the finap shape he always complained that Auto Rifles just aren’t as good as other weapons. He has mostly quit the game after playing the final shape. He is going to be so sad when I break the news about like 5 realllyyyy great auto rifles.
I reccomend trying a zen roll if you ever get the chance. If you still hate it oh well, but I found the reduced shake actually does help mitigate the flash.
Hey TV… when you say that 6’s (i.e. Control) is unbalanced-which I agree with, as it mirrors my experience-and you say you personally know Bungie devs… and you’re one of their most valuable content creators… why don’t you lean on them to make 6’s a more balanced experience? It’s clear they’re using the absolute wrong metrics to balance lobbies, and it makes it awful for everyone. Personally, I can’t stand 3’s. I find it too stressful. I would play a lot more 6’s if they would make it less stressful/ more balanced.
He didnt even mention Target Lock. It lowers the ttk of the weapon. Kill chain perks can be fun in 6v6 like Killing Wind and Kill Clip. For 3v3 id say Tap the Trigger or Zen Moment with Target Lock are probably the best options
I absolutely love the fact that this weapon that released in 2024 is the only one in the last like 2-3 years to release without an origin trait. It fills me with this never ending feeling that it would passively be better to use almost any other weapon in the game with an origin trait. You know like leaving telesto bolts on the ground, or vex pools, or stat bumps, exploding enemies after a melee kill, etc... If you love wondering why you're using a weapon with zero origin trait the entire time you use it and wanna play always wondering if using it in pve is literally throwing then this is the weapon for you.
I’m not a pvp player but I’ve been diving in for this weapon mostly for a repulser brace destabilizing rounds but I’ve been holding onto several rolls I’ve gotten favorite so far being killing wind desperate measures
It is bad ass I didn't like it at first recoil takes a second to get used to...... and the muzzle flash coming off the end of the barrel is a little crazy but after a game or 2 I've been digging it in pvp..... does some serious business once you get used to it
I have that same roll but with Fluted and Handling MW instead. It still holds the 3rd highest kill counter of all my weapons, and the highest for all my autos. It is way underrated
@@BarderBetterFasterStronger what I meant by low reward is low quantity. Compared to PVE. The gun feels great but PVP community gets crumbs in terms of rewards so my incentive to play is not great at the moment. The maps and reskinned guns show this game is on the ropes PvP wise.
I have REALLY been enjoying this gun and I WAS SO excited to see the random rolls come back after the fix. I have also been looking forward to your review specifically. I think you MAY have overlooked the beautiful synergy and completely passive bliss that is Tap + dynamic sway. From the juiced beginning, to the improved back end, these perks compliment each other well. They are the "hidden" PB&J of this gun in my opinion. Your roll may be ideal for you. This gun is a stat monster and it MAY have enough juice from the base gun alone to be usable and get you onto your l kill chains. However, for the average player, the passive perks may help them in more dueling scenarios and although this gun is a brawler, I have found that you can make it fight even the most meta picks if you are in the correct ranges as long as you can reign in the hail of bullets and land shots.
Will give it a try for sure but as it stands I’m fully addicted to my ros arago with substance + onslaught. Think it might be the only 600 with this roll? It’s addictive. Kinda reminds me of rolling with dr nope in d1 except there marshmallows HURT. It’s a world drop and highly advised ppl to take a look at there roll before chunking it.
Got 700 kills on this roll, it is good but kinda forces you to not switch weapons or you lose the to the pain stacks. Worth using if it’s the best roll you’ve got tho, base weapon is fun to use
I got an arrowhead/hammer forged, ricochet, E killing wind, E desperate measures, composte/fitted stock. Idk if this is the bugged currated roll but it feels GOOD and laser like even moreso when killing wind is active
My first drop was full bore, Rico, tap the trigger and kill clip. Sucky reload masterwork but hey, tap the trigger makes this thing an absolute laser beam combined with fitted stock
The first Riposte I got out of my placement series this season is a banger. Corkscrew rifling, high cal rounds, killing wind, kill clip, fitted stock and stability MW. Maybe not absolutely perfect, but it still slays. My only complaint is the old arc logic muzzle flash. Very distracting in a tense fight. They tone that down and I might have a problem ever taking this off in pvp lol
Glad I watched this, I have a really close roll to your ideal roll and I might have deleted it or never really tried it. Just missing the range mw got stab and corkscrew as best barrel
