Imperative 2.0 Review: Bungie Has Been Paying Attention

When I first saw that Imperative came back, I was a little hesitant. Form where it came from that is a tough hill to climb. That was FOUR or more years ago though and they put one of the best perks in the game on it. In this review i go over who this weapon is for and why you should get it.

If you don't have something like this, I would get it. Very accessible.

Kinetic Tremors is the best thing to happen to the top slot since Wish-Ender.

As much as I hate Destiny's abusive levels of gear grind, I sometimes wish more craftable guns fell into this kind of category. Strong enough to put in work and provide a functional, if not ideal, replacement/filler for the weapon you're actually searching for. I'm not going to go full out and say craftable legitimate god rolls were a mistake, but weapons like this really highlight what a healthier gear grind *could* look like if Bungie was more willing to cut players some slack on the world drop RNG.

I get what you're saying, kinetic tremors is awesome, but don't forget that this is the third (non-sunset) primary weapon with demo/osmosis, the first one since the Prophecy dungeon loot refresh back in Lost. A scout with it, especially with this frame, is a lil funky, but its accessible and guaranteed as compared to random dungeon rolls. I think the kinetic tremors will be awesome, but I want other players to also check in and not sleep on demo/osmosis if that's something they might be missing/wanting to try out for a build

Make sure you use tac mag over flared magwell! Because of rounding, 17 shots in the mag makes the origin trait give you 5 shots per reload instead of 4, it's very good value!

So everyone has that one weird weapon they love, for me it was Garden Progeny I, which is the base model for this gun in Y1 CoO. It's still one of my highest kill weapons, I take it into IB etc and it just clicks for me. Weirdly, Imperative didn't when it came out, but it seems tuned somehow differently, not just the perks. I prefer the not grassy scope, but I'm glad it's back.
Weird combo to shout out - osmosis is not as common as it used to be. With build synergy and the benefits of stacking surges, a demo + osmosis weapon on a gernade heavy build (controverse, shinobu, etc) will let you run triple of one light element which can be very useful. That said, I agree Demo Tremors is the most interesting.

[Sabre]

Yeah I'd been holding onto my Adept Hung Jury for a long time as my Kinetic scout but Imperative gets the same perks on a better frame (imo) and feels great to use

With vault space being limited, using your scorecard system what are the top three legendary weapons in each slot for pve. Always love your content and love how you see the best in weapons finding new ways to look at things.

The problem with this scout is that it is very slow and clunky and kicks like a mule. If I'm going to use a kinetic tremors scout, it is going to be Randy's, as I can pepper any target much faster thus proccing tremors faster.
That said the construction/subsistence roll will be great if they bring back strikes again, like The Glassway where you have to shoot the boss 8, 000 times.

[dankerbell]

already have transfiguration but it's cool that there's another accessible rapid hit + kt scout

[yourbrojohno]

I haven't bothered using any kinetic scout other than hung jury with a div cenotaph GM build. Knowing that Randy's does the same amount of kinetic tremors dmg and only takes 1.4 seconds to activate gives it an Edps of ~50, 000, i will definitely start using it for GMs and other content with lots if majors.

[althechicken]

I actually really liked this gun when it came out, the moss and shit is so cool, and im hyped that its back.

Ive got a weird love for 150 scouts in pvp, but i havent found a legendary one that i like yet. Maybe this will be it.

[cabooseshero]

Great video/review as always CoolGuy. I love the scorecard graphic please continue doing that.

[eyeswideopen]

I have not been able to get this gun at all. when I focus engrams I get the other weapons but not this one and I don't know why smh

[thehungarywaffleinc.]

i hope zero hour comes back so we can get a crafted outbreak with kinetic tremors

[SixtiesSpiderman]

Got myself a shoot to loot kinetic tremors breakneck, puts in work.

[smartini]

I've never been that excited for an Eye of sol review, still waiting for your video man. Thank you for the great effort!

[Technizor]

Compared to Transfiguration, this one is pretty similar in options, but that one looks better. I have both crafted, but I'm using a PVP Transfiguration and I *might* use the crafted Demo/KT roll if it was in the anti-champion mods this season over my StL/KT Hung Jury (Adept).

Tough competition in this category, especially with Polaris Lance getting a lot of attention this season.

[glenseaman]

I crafted mine to have triple tap explosive, but I’m considering kinetic tremors too.

[medical_ninja]

I crafted my Transfiguration with Demo / Tremors. I went Demo / Osmosis on Imperative. I haven't landed that combo on The Last Breath or Judgment yet. I'm looking forward to scouts being anti-champion weapons again.
