Destiny 2: Let's Talk Forgotten Exotic Weapons

There are about 70 Exotic Weapons in Destiny 2, about 30 of them are clinically bad for one reason or another. I pray that Bungie sees some of these ideas and uses them from feedback in the next new season.

Enjoyed running into you the other day. Kept dying from a Mida and I was like "I never see anyone but mesome running Mida- OH MY GOD"

Glad someone mentioned forerunner, its been my go to answer for just about everything. Easily can win duels against handcannons and can contend with pulse rifles, which are the two most popular primaries as of right now. Not hard to keep it fed either, and if you want to double down you can rock another sidearm so your unflinching and targeting mods also work with your primary. Fantastic weapon overall

I LOVE the Two-Tailed Fox. Not only does it stop the healing of overloads (i really wish Bungie would just give it overload intrinsic already) it was the very first exotic weapon i ever picked up

[hiimskye]

Malfeasance is so fun, does special ammo damage, has theoretical infinite range, but no one uses it because it's perk doesn't get to proc on redbars and it's damage is too low for yellowbars unless it has a big critspot and you're using lucky pants or if it's taken

[centy]

Something I noticed with all of these exotics is that they have neither the basic overpoweredness of something like chaperone or the insane build potential of something like Traveler’s Chosen, and because we don’t want to just increase the stats of a weapon to make them busted, we need to focus on synergy buffs. Like imagine if the Devil’s Ruin laser applied scorch for the laser that caused an ignition that would kill a target. This is the kind of buffs these weapons need to be viable/used more.

Outbreak perfected with catalyst has to be my all time favorite pve weapon

[houstong]

I honestly thought that the Forerunner was a decent exotic this season. I’m surprised I haven’t seen it more often

[XxHUNTRNTRxX]

Am I the only one who enjoys using Fighting Lion as a primary in PvE? Not as a meta weapon but just for fun.

[arcviper]

I put on Jade Rabbit once because I wanted to grind out the catalyst in case Bungie decides to rework it in the future. But it ended up becoming my favorite pvp scout.

[jamescruz]

Love how you're so positive about Jade Rabbit and I really hope you keep enjoying it, but I still don't think it's worth the Exotic slot. It's too much like a regular Scout.

[ElderDragon]

Outbreak's been one of the mainstays in my loadout since I got it back in the Season of Dawn, the amount of damage it can dish out when combined with other Outbreaks is simply amazing. I'm glad it's getting some more use this season!

[CoolBird]

I'm honestly shocked that guns like Sunshot, Ticcus, Polaris Lance and TTF didn't get any type of rework like other exotics got with void/solar 3.0

But I guess giving solar 3.0 keyterms to the piece of shit skyburners and overshadowed by almost everything else Prometheus Lens was more important than giving them to guns that people actually use

[EgoFriendly]

Polaris Lance has been left surprisingly untouched this season, especially given solar 3.0 and current seasonal mods allowing it to clear rooms with one kill. I've definitely seen some of it on occasion, but not nearly as much as I think it deserves

[pch]

I still remember when everyone was freaking out thinking that the forerunner would break pvp because it was an "infinite range hand cannon" and the catalyst granades were able to oneshot.
I have seen like a total of 4 people using it after the first two weeks of release.

[hypernova]

I absolutely adore jade rabbit it has always been one of my favorite weapons to use in the crucible

[Zetheseus]

TTF has SERIOUSLY always been under appreciated. and I stand by, it was REALLY good last season. font of might being 1 energy and volatile flow meant 1 rocket did 25% more damage and void could also apply volatile thus technically increasing the solar's damage. my only complaint with it now is it should apply scorch so it can for sure synergize with solar hunters like it used to.
Edit: also love cerberus. I just hate the catalyst.

[lilydusk]

I absolutely love the Forerunner. As someone who played a lot of Halo CE on PC back in the day, it's kind of insane how 1:1 the shooting experience is with its Halo 1 counterpart. It's part of why I use it so often. It's kind of crazy how well my muscle memory transfers with this gun.

[Aztesticals]

I've mained cerberous for the last 9 seasons. It just requires some planning to use. Counters shotgun rushers and supers hard. The number of fists of havoc, arc striders, wnd nova warpers I've shot down standing Mt ground is too many to count

[flamevell]

I actually just got the devil's ruin a couple days ago, that thing freaking melts with its beam. If you think you won't do good because the beam duration is kind of short, trust me, the recoil is virtually zero when in use.

And, it stuns unstoppables, for free. No special ammo needed, always something good to appreciate
