What Your Most Used EXOTIC WEAPON Says About You... (Destiny 2) 

Forgot some exotics... Tommy's matchbook - you're part of the tiny group of people that actually remember this exotic exists. Seriously, I'm putting this bit here because I forgot to put it in my script. Trespasser - you can't wait for arc 3.0 to come out so you can see what kind of synergies this thing will be capable of. Heartshadow - much like vex mythoclast, you also probably put in a cheat code to get this

The outbreak perfected was the weapon that made us get through caretaker day one, we literally dump all of our damage on the first rotation then we swapped

Sunshot will always be my favourite. Love the design, sound and many explosions

I liked the sweet business because.... I'm a titan main. Honestly, beside the fact its a minigun, the fact you could set up a build and just continously fire while slow walking into a horde of enemies, never having to reload because you picked up an ammo box, was badass in my opinion

The two-tailed fox one aged horribly

The Lament because a perfect five light attacks and a heavy attack and satisfying AF

Honestly, Osteo Striga is applicable in all situations. It's now broken with the Strand and Solar for Warlocks. Just pair with Necrotic Grip and watch the chaos unfold XD

To be fair, having someone roll up on you in crucible while you’ve got cerberus on is hilarious, especially when you both turn the corner at the same time and you dink em for 100 to the head with an auto rifle

My own take on Wish-Ender: "You most likely got this bow before the Forsaken vaulting and used it near exclusively due to funny damage model and were absolutely devastated during Risen when it didn't do double damage anymore. You feel validated now that it does triple damage and breaks barriers innately."

5:13 personally the reason i love skyburners oath (both pre and post rework) is because of a couple of reasons. 1. it go doof doof and makes brain happy 2. my titan's whole theme is cabal and so it just fits perfectly

Dude the Sweet Business description of “you’re a titan main… that’s literally it”. Was absolute spot on. It was the first exotic I got in Destiny 2 back on day 1 and I’ve now got like 3.5 million kills with it. Lol

After the infinite primary ammo update & Solar 3.0 Update, Polaris Lance has become my favorite exotic. Its really good now.

I mostly use Quiclsilver Storm because it does decent Auto Rifle damage, the Mini Rockets can easily finish enemies and fire often while doing good damage. The grenades (which are created quickly because of Mini Rockets) do a lot of damage. I’ve seen it do from 24,000 to 80,000 on bosses. I also spent $100 for it so yeah…definitely want to use it

Risk Runner isn't just for new lights, the 50% arc Dr is extremely useful in Day 1 raids

I’ve sworn by leviathans breath for ages and was so happy when they added archers tempo, which I assume is around when this video released. I used to only use it in gambit for the free body shot kills, but now with tempo and intrinsic volatile (it doesn’t say it has it, but I’ve tested and it definitely does) it’s such a fun weapon. It’s only downside is it’s not super viable against bosses with quick damage phases, like third encounter RoN or caretaker since you have to switch plates a bunch. During contest RoN I topped the damage from my team, using only Levi and tether, while they were all using starfire + rockets

As an Ace of Spades enjoyer I can confirm it’s really hard to see it not be it’s absolute best😢

Witherhoard is my all time favourite for almost all builds (I main warlock and hunter) because it's super versatile and has great DPS/crowd control, but the riskrunner can do a shit ton of damage against taken and fallen. It's the exotic that got me to solo flawless prophecy as an arc warlock and I still love it to this day 👌

Last word is also often used by PVP console users as it has the most bullet magnatism in the game

“Two tailed fox, I have no idea why anyone would use this exotic I’m sorry.” that didn’t age well.

Gravitation Lance is actually really good if you have the right void build

I love riskrunner so much. I'm using it on my devour warlock build to just wade into hordes of enemies mowing them all down while being pretty much invincible. It's so good at CC it's not even funny.

Fighting Lion: "I take offense to that, now apologize to the other two grenade launchers in my loadout you also offended." -Code of the Commander Void Titan main

"Sweet Business: You're a Titan main." I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE ATTACKED BY A COMPLETELY ACCURATE STATEMENT.

Outbreak is _still_ my most used exotic in both PvE and Crucible, somehow. This is a remnant from back when they released it, when it was significantly more powerful than it is now. Dead Man's Tale is a shadow of its former self. That fire-rate bump when not aiming? It's only just perceptible now. They took everything about it that made it powerful and really sold the cool factor.

Malfeasance was spot on

I used to exclusively run Riskrunner with a shotty and Skullfort back when I was a noob, but after several years I picked it back up and found myself really enjoying it in both pvp and pve. Severely underrated gun that just feels really good to use.

no destiny fan will ever accept that some people use certain "off-meta" exotics because they simply find them fun in the end

I don't know why, but I love using Revision Zero. Maybe because the exotic mission is easy on normal difficulty, provides good recoil, bad ammo economy, but also good DPS cause of the sniper ability. I also like how each of the tracer upgrades added a cosmetic piece to the gun. Where you can still change if you want that new piece on the gun or not

of note about Skyburner's, it's handy as a free source of scorch as a primary weapon, and combos really well with the Weighted Throwing Knife's intrinsic auto-ignition on any even lightly-scorched target

Fighting Lion and Whisper are my personal favorites. Fighting Lion is my highest kill weapon across every archetype, including autos. I just started using Whisper again because I saw the catalyst was available for unlock and then fell in love with it and refuse to take it off unless I want to use Fighting Lion.

As a Lorentz Driver user, even in today's meta, I second this description

Telesto… With a void well build… And devour… And volatile rounds… And Nezarec’s sin…

I personally use skyburner's because it pairs with a certain hunter build for infinite weighted throwing knives that explode and make nearby enemies explode. It's good at doing a small amount of scorch without killing everything for damage than sunshot while doing the same basic thing

Bro all these are super on point and hilarious

While I definitely main Whitherhoard whenever the seasonal artifact permits, I have the most fun running Fighting Lion alongside Ignition Code and Typhon. That's right; I am a true believer in the TRIPLE GL META.

At this point, I am really enjoying Quicksilver Storm. Works well in all game modes. I play all classes, but at this moment, I have been using mostly my titan for a bit, and previously enjoyed Sweet Business with my titan, but the micro homing rockets and grenades with Quicksilver Storm have me killing it right now...

Outbreak is my most used exotic, comes in clutch on day 1’s legendary activities and any higher difficulty activities or anything where I’m under light, it’s also a solid gambit and crucible weapon and has great ad clear capabilities. It truly is the all-in-one workhorse weapon

I like to main Crimson on my titan. The heal on kill mechanic compliments the tankyness of the class well, meaning i can soak up just that much more damage that would have otherwise killed me. also the instant reload on precision kill allows me to just keep popping them heads for as long as i want (or untill i miss lol) pair that with a slug shotgun for close range DPS and the chain of command LMG for targets that are out of reach for crimson and i got a pretty nice setup

Sweet business is my most used, and I've been a Warlock main since D1. I love throwing down Arc Rifts, and mag dumping enemies. Before I got Sweet Business, my main Exotic was Solar Shot.

For me, it’s Vex Mythoclast. I’ve always loved 450 auto rifles (started playing season of the chosen, and my first was a elemental capacitor slidshot seventh seraph carbine that I still have to this day), and As a 390, Vex feels amazing to me. Hits hard, it’s accurate, versatile in range given its optic and linear fusion mode, and the audio work scratches an itch somewhere in my brain. I also did not in fact put in a cheat code to get it, and instead chased that gun for roughly a year. So uh. Yeah. There’s that too

As a Warlock who uses Karstiens with a Catalyst Monte Carlo…I love it

Mine is and always will be Outbreak. Nobody I know can argue it’s both useful for ads and bosses. It’s sick as hell to look at and hear and it was my favourite exotic quest from d1 as I did it with no help from RU-vid and loved every moment of it!

Its always fun to see my mates being surprised by how much damage Deathbringer does

My favorites are Trinity Ghoul and No Time to Explain. I actually did play the entirety of D1 lmao. Also lightning rod is crazy in general, but especially if you mostly play solo

Sunshot: the chain grenade explosions from Halo except now a gun. Brilliant.

Stranger’s rifle was my favorite D1 gun, then I got No Time to Explain and Outbreak and always bounced back and forth between them. I was so happy when my babies came back in D2 and mostly run one or the other

Xenophage is the exotic I always keep coming back to, great for killing champions quickly, no damage falloff and respectable boss DPS. Plus I had a really fun time with my friend getting it and I just live the feel/sound of firing it. P.S. Video is accurate haha.

fighting lion is good for popping shields and clearing adds

Love what you said about Sunshot. So true, so true. Really wish people would stop talking about my SMG too.

Eriana’s vow: I use it cuz it’s a handcannon that feels more powerful

...wow that Sunshot one is hella accurate to me x'D

While izanagi’s burden isn’t necessarily my favorite, it is one I use a lot right now and the description was scarily accurate. This is as someone who uses izzy, ikelos sr, and hezen in a dragon’s shadow rotation for max dps first round who then switches to young spine for the rest. That said. Heartshadow is my favorite and it took a great many runs to get my favorite sword in the game.

Just started destiny today as an arc titan, and I am loving it. I also love the sword I got, and Swords will forever be my heavy weapon slot, meta be damned. I also seem to have a preference for side arms, hand cannons, shotguns, And risk runner.

Cloudstrike is arguably the second most versatile exotic next to witherhoard. but the key difference is Cloudstrike requires aim, awareness, and good prioritizing skills. while Witherhoard is fire and forget half the time. so the difference becomes ease of access. For Cloudstrike, if you can check the skill boxes, it is the superior gun.

Hard Light: A crutch for all three shield types on Legendary Witch Queen. Otherwise ttk is counted in minutes. Forerunner: For when you rely on racking up precision hits, but even the dps of Ace of Spades with Lucky Pants just isn’t cutting it anymore. Because even with Special ammo, ttk is counted in minutes. Tractor Cannon: For Nightfalls with a lot of ledges to knock annoying Overshield Champions back into the pits of hell where they came from. Because once again, ttk is counted in minutes.

I love the red death exotic. You’ll heal after an elimination which was great in my opinion. Wish I could use the red death again, but not sure if it’s in Destiny 2.

I use Gjallarhorn because I didn't have it in D1. I couldn't play D1 so now that I have D2, I simply refuse to take it off. I genuinely love Gjallarhorn

Despite being over a year late to this video and having more or less stopped playing Destiny, the Chaperones description was literally me as I used it for years as a bubble titan main before it even came into the meta and continued to use it even after the nerfs, you could also probably guess how exited I was when no backup plans came back

Outbreak perfected

Oh my god… the mida Multi tool bit is so accurate! I loved that gun in D1!

Whisper of the Worm is my love. I've done thousands of runs in that mission just enjoying and exploring. The gun itself is gorgeous, all the ornaments. It sounds amazing and feels great. Just wish it got the better version of Mulligan or an enhanced mulligan

Devils ruin user here. Close the gap is slept on hard in pvp and with gamblers dodge can pump out some quick dps especially paired with top tree shadow shot. The new firesprite and restoration orb of light paired with wormhusk and gunpowders gamble with cure and you have a lot of healing as well as a strong free grenade

Well that Two-Tailed fox take aged like milk

As a Sunshot main, I do love explosions. Was using Thorn + Necrotic Grips, but this just does that better (read: with more explosions).

I'm a cold heart main and I love that it's arc. I use the hunter "punch the shit out of everything" build and I use the cold-heart as my primary because of how much ammo you get with mods.

I've been using risk rubber as a new player in dungeons and legendary campaigns and it has served me quite well.

With fighting lion, everyone in pvp loves me so much that they all switch to it and spam their crouch buttons. So generous

0:19 the double primary slander 😭😭😭 Double Primary works hella in PVP when you don’t have the Reflexes to Shotgun the ass that swung round the corner with a Quicksilver Storm and when you aren’t petty enough to learn the zero brain-celled “slide and pull”

I spent most of my time with Drang on my hip, and I switch back and forth between Sturm and Witherhoard, or go to MIDA combo for certain modes on certain pvp maps

I have been completely called out on my use of trinity ghoul and you were completely right.

Crimson: You’re still holding onto Red Death from D1 and this is the closet you can get

Yep. Perfectly described me with Lament. I want swords back in the meta

I've been maining Forerunner this season. Between shield piercing sidearms and volatile rounds a proccing for everyone, the forerunner, void surros sidearm, and Tricksleeves has proven very spicy this season.

I got Witherhoard day 3 of og Destiny 2 and I’ve loved it ever since. I primarily play solo and that gun has clutched some hard encounters

The lumina and travelers chosen ones were spot on

I'm so torn between Trinity Ghoul, Osteo Striga and Le Monarque. I'll always love Trinity Ghoul because some random guy saved my life with it when I was a new player, and I was suitably awed by the electric explosions-- great for ad clear, but not super strong against bosses. Le Monarque is my go-to for Gambit, unless I feel like running Lament instead. I enjoy its accuracy and it has great dps potential, but only in a situation where you can focus. Osteo Striga, with the catalyst, has been carrying me through Lightfall. I've come to appreciate its versatility with both ad clearing and boss damage, plus the sound it makes when it hits stuff really tickles my brain in a good way. In summary-- Trinity Ghoul takes #1 in my heart, Striga comes in second for sheer usefulness, leaving Le Monarque at a solid third for its fun factor, invader-deletion capabilities, and nice situational damage.

You used to be correct on riskrunner. Now I run it cause of my arc hunter puncher build with amplified effects upgrading the effects of riskrunner into jolting enemies and blinding them

Gravaton was my go to for YEARS but recently didn’t have one until quicksilver storm came in

Graviton Lance. You ever just go void warlock, kill that one weak enemy, and watch the pretty purple chain reaction explosions? So good.

I haven't played d2 in a while but I remember loving gravitation lance and somewhat liking skyburners oath

Monte Carlo: You're a Titan using an insurmountable skull fort and you get your super back in 5 seconds after using it.

I mainly use the crimson or the huckleberry. It's nice to know that I'm not an idiot...

Monte Carlo main ever since i picked it up a month ago, i started d2 a month ago too. shit's wild, takes out so many things. i used a winter's guile build with solar warlock, and man, im eating good in nightfalls

I used to main Last Word I just like the lore behind it. ...it also had a very enjoyable final mission to get it.

Telesto will always be my fav for Nezracs + devour build, its just too good

The graviton Lance one is so spot on. Like the ONLY other void pulse that could be usable is Veles-x and that’s a reach.

You messed one of them up. Jotunn: You're a psychopath.

This guy called leviathans breath a gun

Polaris is just satisfying. The sound design, the visuals, it just feels good to use. I just wish it would receive a buff to help it out.

These were on point 😂

Cerberus+1 will always have a spot in my heart for getting me through the breakneck grind also still sad that my favorite weapon has been forever sunset

colony actually made me laugh out loud that was a good one

lmao i didnt expect the riskrunner one to be so accurate

My absolute fav has always been the bad juju and I really enjoy the designs of it tbh

Ager Scepter is my most used. It just became so useful so frequently that it stays in my inventory always.

I love the hollow knight music in the background lol

When half of these use the same answer as the previous weapon. Ryan Reynolds: “Well that’s just lazy writing.”

Izanigi: Becuase if you make me line up a sniper shot to a crit, I don't want to need a followup shot.

3:13 That was a horrific missed opportunity. The graviton lance stereotype is "Purple sparklies, purple sparklies everywhere." Reason being - when paired with nazarec's sin it gives near constant void ability spamming, grenades, novas and near 100% up time on our little void buddies granted by well.
