Anonymous Autumn: The Best Legendary Arc Sidearm In The Game

[@CoolGuyGames]

thank you for watching. Lone wolf man....that perk is crazy good. It's like tunnel vision/moving target/some snapshot/icarus all combined and more. Look for it.

[@4zureSapphire]

Lone Wolf is like a mini Search Party in a perk slot. Can't wait to see you showcase the FotL weapons too

[@MuhammadAli-qk2fe]

Not mentioning Adagio is criminal brother! Great review however, hope all is well health wise. Take care.

[@dewrod96servantofakenohime58]

So when is anyone gonna tell TrueVanguard that his favorite sidearm is back?🤔

[@hunterharris6276]

He’s working hard in the name of the emperor at the moment so he may not make it back in time

[@kyleswenson4568]

I think he has jumped off the destiny train ahead of a looming cliff it is driving towards and I respect his decision

[@lettn2mec636]

I told him I was waiting on his review. But I’m glad @CoolGuy did one. May TV serve the emperor well lol.

[@MuhammadAli-qk2fe]

He said on his twitter that he will be back soon!

[@thenexus7343]

​@@kyleswenson4568 I do too, byt theres no way he's able to suppott his fam rn with the views he's getting, thats why he came back the last time he left. Unfortunately destiny is probably gonna just be income for him

[@palsxcx]

This thing has caught so many people off guard in pvp i love it.

[@chrispysonic21]

What roll have you been using? I enhanced zen moment and kill clip on mine. Really fun chaining potential 😂

[@hunterharris6276]

I encountered a hunter with slow dodge and strafe jump and I actively avoided the mother fudger

[@chrispysonic21]

We got an Anonymous Autumn review from Cool Guy before TrueVanguard? 😂 amazing. Love this sidearm. So happy to see it come back stronger than ever

[@ronstantinople]

Lone Wolf and Precision Instrument has been an incredible combo, especially for arc hunters. It's been very easy to hit aerial shots post-tempest strike or blink.

[@whatyousee3225]

i remember back in the day True Vanguard always talking about this SA, i'm glad they brought it back! great architype

I matched like two games with you while you were using this, super fun games 👍

[@peacelovemetal5197]

Been LOVING my Anonymous Autumn roll in PVP! Zen Moment + Desperate Measures with Knockout let's me have a hybrid of Precision Instrument and Swashbuckler (kinda). Still haven't gotten Zen + Precision though! Can't wait for the Omniscient Eye review! It can get 100 handling, Snapshot Sights ADS scaler and Lone Wolf ADS scaler all in ONE SNIPER and has 40 zoom.

[@brlopez4]

i got a zen swash roll and i’ve been using the funny boots on solar titan to be a menace

[@SillyPlanet92]

I have desperate measures and demolitionist. I’m not sure if this is a good roll but I am demolishing in crucible!

[@brlopez4]

@@SillyPlanet92 it’s not the “standard god roll” but CoolGuy always promotes different builds so i think if you’re making it work and having fun, it’s a W

[@88baldur1]

Liking the Sig Sauer styling. Thats clean looking for sure!

[@chinbusy6336]

I was waiting for this review. I have EC+VS and LW+KC, and they are both amazing when used in the appropriate environment. I missed out on the heliocentric god roll, but Anonymous Autumn maded up for it as I got both the PVE and PVP God rolls. I brought my Eddy Current +Voltshot roll into Vesper for that same reason... tight spaces and my fireteam laughed until I got voltshot and amplified going on my titan. As long as their are enemies voltshot never goes away. This is my new favorite sidearm bar none. I will also look out for the LW+PI roll you mentioned. Thanks again, Coolguy. 🍻

[@whoneedbag5264]

Lonesome is my favorite PvP side arm and this just feels like a better energy version

[@seanrogers4948]

I, too, worship the Lonesome. This thing is fucking nasty though. FB, RR, RMW, Enlightened, KC...lord have mercy. Just clapping cheeks.

[@RennekerA]

Autumn was one of the main weapons that got me through the Recluse grind back in the day. The roll was Kill Clip and Full Auto.

[@biggben2uce81]

Me too!!!

[@Xander--gd5lb]

Sidearms are so good now. In PvP with the current special ammo economy, they’re powerhouses. In PvE, they are amazing in at-light activities like raids or dungeons. Hopefully Bungie keeps giving us more good ones. This is definitely one I’m excited about. Lightweights, Bursts, and precisions especially.

[@beetle5000]

I got both the pvp and pve god rolls you’ve mentioned here and I’m really loving them both

[@SeniorMeow]

You'll get more then you can ever want during Iron Banner. Now I know what rolls to look for

[@DH-gg1pg]

When is ib?

[@Jackson-xr5dg]

I was getting absolutely rolled in the crucible by this

[@gamingninja1307]

I lucked out and got the Lone Wolf + PI roll and I was absolutely shredding Trials over the weekend. I thought I might want to try out a KC roll, but thanks to your video I'm just going to enhance what I got (Sadly no Range MW, I got Smallbore, AP, LW, PI, Handling MW)

[@joshriker4173]

I completely glanced over precision instrument thinking why would I want that on a sidearm? Glad I saw this vid. Def gonna try this roll.

[@isaacHarrus]

I grabbed a Range Finder + Precision Instrument and I have been loving it. I know Range finder is so last year. But it seems to go the distance.

[@Soundwave0606]

I feel like Rangefinder is still alright honestly. When I first started using it, I went for it because of the extra stickiness it offered and not even the range bonus.

[@viewtifulbo1988]

Glad you did this video! Ive been playing with the volt shot one in pvp and love it! You sold me on lone wolf. Hope your healthy and doing well!

[@nottyler6776]

Only two I’ve focused and one was lone wolf other had voltshot. There goes my RnG for the rest of the episode 😂

[@EtotheFnD]

Thanks for gettin nerdy with it buddy...👊

[@baltazar514]

Been wanting this weapon back for a long time, so excited to use it again!

[@awesomefuzz4008]

I'd like to also shout out Attrition Orbs for PvE. How it works is that every time you score 2/3rds of the magazine +2 hits, you generate an orb. Anonymous Autumn has a base magazine of 12 shots, so you're spawning an orb every 10 hits. It fires 6 shots per second, so that's 1.6 seconds of firing per orb. You do also have to reload, but even with just Field Tested you can get 100 reload speed at max stacks for a 1.14s reload. 5 full magazines is 60 shots, plus four reloads, so 10s of firing and 4.6s of reloading. I'll round up to 15 seconds total. You generate 6 orbs per 15 seconds, or 1 orb every 2.5s, assuming you have targets to shoot at. Faster if you put on a loader mod for the 0.85x scalar. But it's also a third column perk; you can get it with Voltshot (at least once perk weights are fixed...). You do miss out on having a tiny bit more reload speed with Eddy Current or directly getting ability energy from Demo/Strategist, but you gain a tremendous amount of orbs for yourself and allies. Very worthwhile IMO, especially since there's a lot of ways to generate survivability through orbs and you've got an extremely consistent way to make them with a weapon that needs to play close to enemies.

[@lucasredel3196]

Volt shot in pvp is fun too, specifically on prism hunter with stylish executioner. Instead of chaining a damage buff with kill clip, you chain wallhacks with the jolt you apply

[@not_parker]

I got a Lone Wolf/precision instrument roll on day one of the season and its been putting in WORK

[@KatanisPSN]

I got lucky with an Eddy Current/Volt Shot roll. It is very fun.

[@blastphame]

I got this PvP roll as my first drop. I enhanced it immediately after seeing the roll

[@MeatyTundra]

my favorite sidearm and weapon in the destiny… haven’t got the precision instrument god roll yet so i’ve been using heliocentric but uh. let’s just say, when I do, it’ll never leave my imventory

[@drewwrobel]

i'm honestly a fan of the full auto sidearms in general, but i never really jived with the pirate themed one back from s18 so landing this as my voltshot replacement would be perfect for me ! maybe if i'm lucky i can get voltshot and precision instrument on the same drop to maximize vault space haha

[@OrangeMinister]

Still have my old one. My favorite weapon in the game period. It’s Quickdraw Rangefinder and Solar. Haven’t had time to grind for the new one yet but I’m gonna go at it.

[@generalSarbina]

I've never liked precision frame sidearms but Anonymous Autumn is the exception (so far). Something about the recoil on this archetype makes it hard for me to hit my shots (skill issue, I know) and I really love rapid fire frame side arms. Autumn with zen moment really helps that for me. Of course, eddy current with voltshot feels great in PvE and has me considering putting down my Brigand's Law.

[@ShadowNemesis575]

People honestly should try enhanced precision instrument on these lightweights. It goes hard IF you can hit your shots

[@BoxPounder]

Does it shift ttk in pvp enhanced

[@SamEy3Am]

I love love love Helio, and now I have its arc counterpart and I'm loving that too. No crucible roll yet but man Eddy current + voltshot slaps in pve.

[@walkeronegaming]

god i loved this gun. had a rampage roll that reloaded so fast I could maintain it through reload

[@dontbeshady411]

I like my heal clip/kill clip heliocentric. I haven't got a roll of the anonymous autumn worth using yet

[@MikelWellington]

Just literally got this one. Lone Wolf, Precision, Ricochet, Extended Barrel

[@nerfycat8429]

This sidearm is cool, but I literally can't wait for your Insurmountable video!

[@EntsForest]

I got Full Bore + Ricochet + Lone Wolf + Prec Instrum + Range Masterwork to drop on day one of the season. Its a beast, even on M&K.

[@curtisnielsen1399]

Once i touched this with zen moment it felt so good and took over my helio. I still have yet to try lonev wood or get a KC/HC helio to drop, but so far loving zen on this

[@jakefrederick2007]

True Vanguard is going to love this thing.

[@dejanstojkovic5702]

I ve got attri orb + preci instr and i already could tell this a s tier weapon. I am looking forward to exactly your roll you have for pvp. For pve i wish to get attri orb + volt shoot which will be the perfect mix for add clear and somewhat a little stronger foes. So sad attri orb kind of not working in pvp though. Great review as always 😉

[@skuirrelTV]

Great review Cool guy!

[@rafynatorthevarietygamer1234]

I got this thing with Eddy Current and Voltshot, and love it ❤

[@Jcoolwhip1]

I have an almost max range kill clip roll and I absolutely love it

[@ronnielee8238]

The old lonesome used to be a pvp accuracy monster. Im excited to see if this weapon can change that a little bit.

[@nathancole5791]

Both this sidearm and the new seasonal void one feel sooo good with Harmony for double primary builds.

[@genkilabs]

nice. you just validated my gut-feel on this.

[@zTheBigFishz]

I use sidearms almost exclusively as my CQC weapon. One thing I've noticed is that I'm usually by myself when I have to pull it out, so Lone Wolf should proc for me often.

[@philipbrackett443]

The new zoom increase mod also feels really good on pistols. I like it more than the new ballistics mod

[@therealjp3177]

Cooolguy love all the reviews but I’m waiting for the closing time in depth from you ): any future plans for that??

[@MSK-o1n]

I focused 1 engram cause I wanted to try it before saving up for resets and I landed hammer, ricochet, lone wolf, kill clip and unfortunately a reload mw but I can definitely agree this thing is an absolute unit. Can't wait to dump 99 engrams on it lol

[@chrismmacmullen7545]

I still have my original one! I was one of the stubborn ones that wouldn't get rid of the Old gear lol

[@Ochobi_8bit]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention closing time. Since you shred through the mag so fast you can really catch them off guard with the extra range bump as you get towards the end.

[@cmw92ster]

Feedback: barrels and mods for sidearms would be very helpful. Do you agree that one should go full out range at expense of stability? I get lone wolf is awesome, but let us know why you go for the range and stability over zoom mod. Much love cool guy

[@omegaxis2]

I remember this being a menace in forsaken

[@TriopsTrilobite]

I got Fluted Barrel, Ricochet Rounds, Zen Moment, Swashbuckler, and a handling masterwork. I run double primary so I use it to shut down shotgun apes

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

Don’t sleep on sidearms. I am not a PvP player, yet Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves and a Heliocentric with Heal clip allowed me to survive many close range duels. Even a 1v3 in one case

[@hollowmajin5146]

One more hyper specific thing it has for it: because it’s arc, multikills will amplify you

[@jakemoffat1927]

the og solar version is my absolute favorite pvp weapon. have over 5k kills in the crucible with it.

[@thepurpdoesthework]

Dood Im so glad PI does somthing for this archetype of sidarm cuz I got a smallbore, richochet, range mw, lone wolf, PI like 5 or so days ago VERY early in this episode but wasnt sure if PI did anything. I also got one with killclip and highcal instead of richochet but same as my other roll. Looks like my grinding is done. 😂🎉🎉

[@grafitea]

I sub to TV and give him a few dollars every month. Have yet to see him acknowledge his favorite gun. Man I loved AA back in the day

[@JamesWilliams-up6ye]

I got probably 12 or 13 in a row from my run to reset crucible rank last week. All of them sucked. Best roll I got was Demo-Desperate Measures and Strategist-Rampage. I’m going to have to focus on with voltshot now so I can try it.

[@tnixgaming6175]

Love lone wolf on both this and the new void one.

[@cmw92ster]

Voltshot needs a buff now to provide a pikachu style lighting bolt from above to the main target.

[@joeybrez1]

as a "avoid pvp at all costs" typa guy, my Fully enhaced Brigand's Law with voltshot will do

[@toad4641]

good for you

[@DJHATFIELD85]

Gotta agree with him. Not enough to sway me into pvp for just this. When I have a crafted Law at home already.

[@amorfati4927]

Brigand’s Law has been probably my most used primary for awhile now. Usually I’m running Lost Signal / Brigand’s Law / Parasite outside of boss DPS situations. Just find survivability is good in PvE and spamming Voltshot the hardest hitting primary in the game.

[@AZ-ib8uf]

Rocket assisted frame sidearms is the only sidearms you need with the exception of the drang

[@apinity4624]

Literally perfect fir any arc build. Perk pool is juiced

[@ThatFalloutGod]

For PvE, it's the perfect up-close Arc weapon. Demo + Voltshot, you get the reload and handling boosts from Field Tested. Just sad that it's the Crucible weapon and not Vanguard.

[@thatguyfrominvincible]

now I just need my seventh seraph SI-7 back

[@RageCage90]

It really is a good weekend weekend!

[@megagaming2389]

I still have my solar one from season 4 it is still my main PVP sidearm besides Boudicca c but I run that one with cloud strike my solar one has a throw away perk now I just like it cause it has sights still my roll is control sas ricochet rounds full auto trigger(was goatee back before full auto was added) and range finder it just shreds I'm looking for a lone wolf arc one with either PI, KC,MKC, desperate measures (PVP) then Eddy volt for (pve)

[@eather9357]

Iv'e been running whit closing time and kill clip feels crispy

[@amorfati4927]

PvP it’s going to be fantastic. Unfortunately for PvE it’s just not going to be better than Brigand’s Law. The only real thing it has going for it is Demolitionist is in the 3rd column so if you want that it has Demo / Voltshot. Otherwise Brigand’s Law has Feeding Frenzy which feels great but I found isn’t needed and it reloads snappy enough already (which means Eddy Current is also probably not needed) which put me to Pugilist / Voltshot. Melee regen tends to be the harder to come by or left behind stat compared discipline so it fits very well… and even though Right Hook isn’t the most useful origin trait, 10 range and AA for just meleeing something is more useful than either origin trait Anonymous Autumn has. But also everyone isn’t going to have Brigand’s Law. Sidearms are actually really good in PvE because the damage they put out. People should look into them if they are going to run a non-exotic primary and aren’t just plinking from the back.

[@adamderschner9076]

My man! Thank you

What sidearm would you say is best in PvP "Anonymous Autumn" or "Heliocentric QSC"?

[@megagaming2389]

I prefer anonymous for energy but primary Boudicca C hands down just focus it at the gun Smith on hakke days it sounds and feels amazing I have a hammer forge ricochet rounds moving target multi kill clip roll handling MW and that thing gets kills from absurd ranges with a targeting adjuster it has 90 aim assist out of the box honorable mentions (controlling vision with encore high ground, The vision killing wind kill clip) I have and use a lot of side arms these all feel great to me if you have any try them out for a session

[@pentelred]

Already got two of my precision instruments/lone wolf rolls but i think youre sleeping on a pve/pvp potential juggernaut is attrition orbs /p-instrument

[@supersizesenpai]

I love listening to you pronounce "Anonymous" do it more. 😂😂

[@xcBlackDiamond]

Wait, what about the zoom mod? Zoom is fantastic for sidearms and it’ll take even more advantage of the 100 AA

[@udontknowme00]

I think my main hang up at this point is that if I'm going to be reloading after every single kill, I would rather be using heal clip than voltshot

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

So you just never use any other weapon type than Solar? That's the main thing with Heal Clip, you're forced to use only Solar weapons. Great if that's your jam but in endgame content where you have champions? Solar weapons don't have any perk that allows you to stun a champ. Solars great for low to of-light content where you can 1 tap red bars and frequently proc Heal clip and Incandescent but anything else and it falls behind. Yes Ignitions can stun but you need 3-4 kills near the champ to ignite them to stun them. Not very reliable. I wonder if we'll ever get a Solar weapon that can give itself (or you) Radiant to give it anti barrier capabilities.

[@udontknowme00]

@@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 yes i unironically only every use solar weapons lmao. I mean if I've got a specific build that requires some elemental synergy then I'll switch things up, but for general play I literally have a heal clip weapon equipped at all times

[@brodyjoce]

I got a "to the pain" "kill clip" roll. Haven't used it yet. Any thoughts on the perk combo?

[@chinbusy6336]

That's a great roll... just make sure your res/recovery are 10... To The Pain will give you a stat boost while taking damage. If you hit your shots, you will get kill clip chaining going. For the orgin trait, make sure you're using field tested, and you will be fine. 🍻

[@huegofarley4684]

What about rangefinder and using the zoom mod?

[@conorkilhenny5362]

For MnK, wouldnt offhand strike be better than lone wolf?

[@patrickoakley7890]

its a wonderful sidearm, I have the god roll for PvE.....but I'm sorry, Pyroelectric Propellant with Eddy Current and Jolting Feedback is the GOAT Arc primary and it's not leaving my Energy slot for a loooooong time.

[@Viperacrx600]

Nothing to say about Adagio which turns it into a forgiving 300 RPM? A .6 with 3 crit 1 body is nuts. Plus the extra range and no need for a reload

[@AbirChowdhury91]

Does Aim Assist matter for PC players?

[@SprayQuaza]

Why does it cost 1 engram now? Because it returned?

[@FloridaMann123]

I forget when Bungie made this change, but new playlist weapons only cost 1 engram to focus during the season they're introduced. So this season you can focus anonymous autumn with Shax, wicked sister with Zavala, and bygones with Drifter for 1 engram each.
