The 'weapons working whilst holstered' thing has been fixed. Weapons only work when in your hands

[@Theron101]

Rip

[@stevewright8284]

i did a bit of testing and it’s only partially fixed. i have divine herald... and the third heavy pistol(don’t remember name) and i was trying to prock both buffs and found out that divine heralds buff works on the other pistol even when it’s holstered

[@stijnduhayon74]

you can still equip 2 avenging herald and get the 2 buffs. go in hovermode with the first pistol then swpa to the other pistol and dash so you get the second raptor's deadeye buff. works easy on a storm. enjoy :)

[@lacedpotato773]

@@stijnduhayon74 it's just a bug, damage doesn't stack I did some testing of my own

Why every gun look the same

[@martinjp6792]

Thunderbolt of Yvenia is very underrated. Playing on GM1-3 with that thing takes down enemy shields faster than any ability once it procs and has pretty decent damage.

[@dustintownsend8939]

As someone who mains Colossus I figured I'd give a bit more detailed description of the Fist of Stral and Endless Siege since I have both of those guns and have used them quite a bit so I feel I have some expertise with them, as well as a better explanation of the Papa Pump since I felt Ryan's view on it was rather mistaken (no offence). I'll start with Papa Pump since that was one of my first masterworks, as well as one of my personal favorites. The first thing that needs to be explained is how the shotgun's model type actually works, since the perk is greatly boosted by the reload actions that the gun does. The scattershot model (which Papa Pump belongs too) reloads pairs of individual bullets and the reload animation can be canceled at any time and you will have 2 bullets added back to the mag for every reload action you do. The way the perk works with this reload is that you get one stack of the perk for every pair of bullets you reload (up to 2) and the perk lasts for 15 seconds and refreshes with every bullet set you put into the gun. The best way to activate the perk would be to fire 3-4 bullets and then reload to do a quick animation and get the perk, then you just need to fire away and you should sustain the perk by just using up your mag and reloading between enemies. Now as far as the Autocannons go, the Fist's cloudburst model type starts with a slow fire rate and speeds up to max fire rate as the trigger is held, while the Siege's Torrent model type requires a spool up time before it can even start firing, although both of the weapons can be prepped by aiming down sites before you start firing. This difference in firing style generally means that the Siege will start firing at about the same time as the Fist has reached max damage bonus, so they are basically equal on that front. In the end, the Fist is better for low health or short opening enemies since it is safer to peak and shoot or react to a new threat, while the Siege is better for bosses with HUGE openings since you can take advantage of its enormous mag size, and using it against quick or strong enemies could get you killed while you wait for the gun to warm up. On a side note about grenade launchers, I don't have the masterwork versions so I can't say anything about the perks but I can give a quick run down of how each model type works. The Aftershock is a 3 burst sticky launcher that does the lowest damage but grenades stuck to weak spots also do weak spot damage. This model is the most consistent to use since it does damage in an area where it lands, but it also has horrible ammo economy since it shoots 3 shots out of its base 9 mag every trigger pull. The Bombardier is the the most grenade launcher like of the group since its shots bounce and it does medium damage. The projectiles from this weapon will explode on contact with an enemy and will deal weak point damage so its probably the best model to use if you have a good understanding of the shot's physics (I can hit enemies from extremely far away by arcing the shots) and it has around 8 shots in the mag and shoots decently fast. The final type, Lurker, is the weirdest model since it gives up the ability to sight the weapon to instead turn the projectile into remote mines which do the most damage of all the grenade launchers at the cost of not being able to do weak point damage with the explosions (might be wrong, but I could never get a yellow number to pop when using this thing no matter what I shot at). Now, each mine this gun shoots out will be detonated when you pull the aim trigger, but it will detonate them one at a time from the oldest to newest mine. You can also do a double trigger (or equivalent on pc) pull to cause the mine to explode the instant it leaves the gun, hitting any enemies directly in front of you (possibly to the sides as well, but I can't tell if that was lag or not). This grenade launcher is probably the hardest to properly use and probably falls behind the other 2 if your very good at aiming, but It can be useful if your good and might even vibe really well with a close range Colossus build. P.S.: Thanks to anyone that actually read the whole comment. Edit: Fixing some spelling mistakes and clarifying some points.

[@BlightAC]

The Thunderbolt of Yvenia is the one I keep using on all my Javelins. It's a great shield-breaker (when it at least procs the lightning damage) and allows me to get a combo going. Especially useful for those elementals and scouts. I wish I could use Unending Battle, the machine pistol on my Colossus. I got one with +225% damage and it puts out great damage and reloads significantly faster than the autocannons. The melee buff would be a nice add to the Colossus AoE damage too.

[@BGenious]

Awesome video! Looks like my Avenging Herald is going to stay equipped!

[@kinghartherii5081]

good job ryan you a very good YTR you make good tutorials and i love the vids its fun seeing you up load.

[@IAmYous3f]

Your videos are well made man. Hopefully one day you reach 1 mil subs and even more.

[@zxcibe5744]

Great video!

[@TobiasSherman]

Great video! Very helpful!

[@calelaquidara8698]

Excellent video. Very informative.

[@abelarr]

A good combo i came across because i have both of the weapon is, Elemental Rage and Thunderbolt of Yvenia. The lightning effect of thunderbolt just does a ton of damage when you stack rage to 20. Pretty good combo to take care of those pesky shielded target.

[@PinkRyche]

The perk of the papa pump isn't actually that awkward. it has 10 shots default and because it loads each shell individually you can basically keep the perk by reloading after either each kill or once everything's dead to just refresh the timer. Its actually really strong.

[@firstname3388]

I like the idea of soothing touch, that the more accurate I am the more accurate I am etc and it might be quite good for 'sniping' from a distance when the enemies heads are tiny. That sort of thing, still not the most exciting but has a purpose.

[@dystopianroyal4795]

20:09 I love how someone else saw that this gun was basically the thunderlord as well

[@kadsafm8288]

Good information! Now do gear augments and ordnance launchers!

[@NoelGamingNoelgaming]

Thanks For this it really helped😀

[@rpgdegree6027]

Great resource. Thank you.

[@trojanwiz3888]

Are we sure that some of the traits DO apply even if the weapon is holstered? Swear I read a patch note that mentioned this may have been “fixed”?

[@GummyBear1993]

Soothing Touch may be trash, but mine rolled with 175% Physical Dmg, and 150% Weap. Dmg. So... I kinda have to use it... that roll was insane.

[@smokesphere]

Plus the perk might get a rework and make it even more insane

[@BestShifty]

How to get Avenging Herald: It´s in the lootpool for the low difficulties (anything below GM1) so just play on Hard and pray to RNGsus.

[@claytonsturm236]

I got one on a normal stronghold last night. I was just trying to get quick credit for my daily challenge and got very lucky

[@Rachetmasta09]

Lol yeah I got it from the tyrant mine. Just play it on hard.

[@sebastianboyce678]

Important thing about that second Autocannon. Collosus doesn't have a passive shield. You get shot, you get the buff.

[@RevoryFTW]

Colossus does have a shield, it is what you pull out to protect yourself. You have to have your Shield Break to use it's buff

[@sebastianboyce678]

@@RevoryFTW the Autocannon just says when suit health declines, not shield break.

[@TheBidonvil]

Thanks 4 the video

[@shinigamiryan5837]

Oddly Divine Vengeance perk works on the shield of the big colossus of the swarm enemies. It makes them super easy to fight, since you can just unload into it.

[@yasmanireyes6592]

Hey brother great video thanks , can u explain dummy style what every skill on the weapons actual means

[@pyrohawk69]

The Soothing Touch is also bugged, instead of decreasing your recoil by 50% with each hit up to 3 stacks, it increases your recoil by 50% per hit

[@robertlivezey7891]

Artinia's Gambit does something interesting that I did not recognize until I watched this video (It was the first LMG I used in the game). It's accuracy gets better the longer you shoot it. I thought this was odd, and I'm not sure if it was designed to work in this manner or not, but it makes it very effective for boss and large group encounters because you can just hold down the trigger and deal large amounts of damage.

[@rawrjay]

Thunderbolt is strictly for taking off enemy shields, it's really good at that, and does it well. THAT is what makes it worth it.

[@joshjenkins6194]

For the papas pump masterwork shotgun I found it easy to just fire off a shell before I was even at an enemy so I could take advantage of the perk right away.

[@Thilain562]

Avenging Herald doesnt stack with other weapons when its holstered, the buff does show up when hovering, but the damage buff doesnt apply. I believe its coded in a way that it increase only Avenging Herald which mean it only work when you equip two of them, I believe its unintended because no other weapons work the same way.

[@sethc2241]

@@sonnyankau9239 yea now you need like 10 shots instead of 5 to kill tyrant boss in gm1 lol

[@amoninfinity]

The info for close encounter is wrong. Close encounter is by far depending on what build you do for any wepon since its pasive wile is only up if you dash with it out stays and works on all your weapons. So far my highest hit with my setup with devistator and this pistol has hit 400k.

[@stevewright8284]

i figures out today that it’s buff works on other heavy pistols. so my close encounter hits for 2000 every hit instead of 1000 when i have divine herald procked and holstered.

[@stevewright8284]

avenging herald*

[@dfhellraiser4td]

I love me some Truth of Tarsis. That gun does STUPID damage! I've done 120K dmg to bosses. Much more if they're primed! Especially with acid!

[@Sinner1786]

my favorite so far is thunderbolt of yvenia . it does tons of damage to shields, and some times it staggers enemies

[@Daniverse96]

Remember that u can reload ur weapon not only when it gets out of bullet, so basically u can fire one shot with papa pump then reload and the ability triggers

[@addie30mg62]

@ryancentral I have a ranger build idea that revolves around ralners blaze, last arguement frag grenade, and the recurring vengeance seeker missile.

[@JoMaMa231]

Thunderbolt of Yvenia is my go too on colossus with the flame ark build every other shot is pretty much a lightning bolt takes shields down hella quick and when i activate lightning coil even better!

[@BryanCentralYT]

[@SkylerRedmon]

Do you know if these holster weapons are still working as such after the patch today?

[@icksterbooth]

in the additional serverside changes today, they said that the guns like the Herald weren't meant to affect anything other than the gun and it was fixed.

[@IIKiboshII]

The Retaliation sub is actually pretty good. A lot of times on Grandmaster, I'm using my shields on the interceptor or strom as I build for max shields and the damage is insane. I rolled okay on it, increasing smg ammo and increased smg damage.

[@MsLegendd]

Grat vid and great voice

[@Evinthal84]

So on the shotgun "Papa Pump" I am wondering if it is an additive bonus or a multiplicative bonus.

Great thing about Thunderbolt of Yvenia is the bonus damage electric gets against shields also. Oh, Artinia's gambit sounds like a colossus thing maybe? At least better than all the colossus gear that gave pistol bonuses.

[@jamaldowner]

Thank you!!!

[@ghaldurinanubios4290]

Picked up a Power Lvl 31 Elemental's Rage Masterwork weapon from a War Titan In fucken Normal Mode. And it is by far really a great weapon for a Storm or Support Weapon for Storms.

[@christopher-rossparks8305]

Renew coverage would work for something like single shot sniper rifles because usually after your shot your reticle wines up way over the top of the target

[@MrStonehengeX37]

If u find urself fighting scars as an interceptor, papa pump is an excellent pick for close range builds. Using the papa pump will knock down even legendary scar hunters out of the sky as long as u hit even 1 pellet

[@DredNeck45]

Double stacking Avenging Heralds seems to have been "fixed". It doesn't seem to apply Raptor's Deadeye to itself or other guns anymore.

[@isaiahcagurangan5831]

The fist of stal was my first masterwork and I think mine out dps the endless siege because mine came with 100% damage as a bonus

[@x626xblack]

On top of the Endless Siege's static perks mine rolled with an additional +125% Weapon Damage, another +5% Weapon Damage,

[@Tom_1940]

Do you have to be in a specific javalin to get a specific weapon? Example: if were to get on my storm, does that mean that I have a better chance at getting Avenging Herald? Or is it all RNG?

[@MarlonShakes]

Have cycle of pain legendary and papa pump masterwork on my colossus. I use the fire mortar and best defence, i set up the big guys by burning them and comboing then get pumps passive up and running and melt large enemies. Cycle of pain requires you have drop chance, but with the 200% bonus damage I have it shreds.

[@sn1pertoaster]

Love how the "Jarra's Wrath" Legendary Volt Rifle from the E3 trailer isn't even in the game, same as the whole Volt Rifle class

[@SixballQ45]

found the MW sniper rifle that does more damage to WP during hover (wyvern Blitz).. it takes out turrets/tanks/ursix like theyre butter. great videos..love your content. #RangersLeadTheWay

[@natev580]

Soothing Touch is useful in a lot of situations where you only have a small weak point to hit. Landing 3 shots essentially turns the gun into a laser beam in terms of stability allowing you to have almost no recoil and giving you the ability to spam shots on a single point on a target without missing... Assuming you aren't a pleb that can't aim to begin with.

[@alectts4253]

honestly a video about ALL masterworks in the game would be amazing

[@pablorivera5010]

How do you hover with the ranger without using or activating the thrusters?

[@Idle_Timer]

[@flame79800]

Got a legendary renewed courage with a 225% and 50% weapon damage at it shreds. Also the last shot is basically any time you reload.

[@robertkeeling7898]

Ok thank you I was just wondering

[@John9_9]

truth of tarsis also detonates combo i tried you just have to hit the weakspot to detonate

[@TheNickarnett]

How much fun is it to run Siege Breker and Truth of Tarsis?! (swapping between the two)... I'm looking forward to a super sniper build with these and giving that a go!

[@FR0xMAN]

I'd love a video about masterwork abilities and components

[@DarthTach]

I think Truth of Tarsis would synergize with say Fire Mortar. You drop a mortar at range that primes everyone and you just go to town.

[@Hifcrea]

Avenging Herold looks absolutely incredible and I can’t wait to obtain it and use it until I vomit all over the place. However I just hope it doesn’t become like I feel like I need it on each class just because it’s so dam OP. I understand best for storms but on my ranger and intercept I’m gonna feel compelled to have it to pop up and be more effective it tough situations.

[@DanLuxe]

If I use the LOD weapon (has like 30% luck buff) as a secondary weapon, will that help? Like more and better loot, especially at endgame? Thx.

[@dcswaggmaster]

Herald procs when you hover but you only actually get increased damage with the pistol

[@GalenAndrico]

Adding to this. Truth of Tarsis detonates a Chain-Combo (Storm). It does not provide an Aura (Interceptor) or do increased Impact Damage (Ranger) or Blast Damage (Colossus). Great weapon because the base gun is excellent. Masterwork effect is... okay.

[@gilium125]

That's 100 perfect correct and and you cannot stack them by using two as he suggests.

[@TrikPikYT]

@@gilium125 You could pre-patch. Unfortunately it seems he pushed out this video without updating the perk fixes.

[@Charlotte_And_Bagel]

Its best on interceptor since you can also get 35% more damage but take 35% more and the gun damage up I think is 25% so 60% up with the 200%

[@99norway]

Every weopen can drop for all javelin or just wep for each javelin?

[@FlaviaPitariu]

The first grenade launcher you mentioned is a burst grenade launcher, fires 3 grenades on trigger

[@henrycrick4426]

I just got my first masterwork weapon it was 57 and was elemental rage I play storm and the roles I got was legit awesome

[@BlackDevilLeague]

Death from above does not increase damage while hovering if holstered. I tested this myself just now. Maybe it got changed because of the Storm's that abused the hovering passives from items? Ill try to get an avenging herald and report back with results on further testing.

[@javismix]

Would be cool is that rifle with recoil perk would instead make all follow up shots do guaranteed head shots for a limited time after getting an initial headshot or weak point shot. The aiming reticle opens up to a reasonable sized circle and any enemy in it receives headshot dmg. Go crazy with it and make it so if there are multiple enemies in the reticle the bullets split and does dmg to them all.

[@XiD0]

does death from above only boost weapon weak point dmg or can it buff your ability weak point dmg too?

[@joshuadixon4090]

Most bosses and Titans I've encountered spawn minions so Insult and Injury can still work if your team lets you handle them

Papa pump stacks based on the number of shells loaded. So if you load two shells you get the full bonus

[@SebJr88]

You can soothing touch, attack 3x for 90%recoil reduction and then swap to the masterwork autocannon and just spray with nearly 0% recoil and just shred weakpoints on bosses or even enemies from a fair distance away.

[@mathieularocque1953]

I do around 35-55k damage on the tyrant boss when hitting a weak point with the wyvern blitz, I didn't get the truth of tarsis yet, but I really hope it does more than 20k...

[@Alleyezonjimz]

I do 80-100k because I got 200% weapon damage on mine xD It's also legendary.

[@thexdeadpoolx]

I pair Avenging Herald and Truth of Tarsis on my Storm with the masterwork flame burst. Three burst on a target gives the acid status effect. Then with the Truth you detonate the combo...with the extra 200% weapon damage while hovering from Avenging Herald, bonus damage to enemies under acid status effect, and my Avenging Herald has two inscriptions for weapon damage for another 125% and 35%

[@rafaelpozo9962]

[@joshuadixon4090]

Arthinias Gambit might work well with Colossus' shock coil ability

[@ABudgetPC]

endless siege is just the best autocannon overall. having constant 100% bonus damage plus 2x the magazine makes it best one. unlike fist of stral which requires enemy hits(doesnt proc on shields so its slow to take down shields).

[@shanedriscol]

The cycle of pain is terrific but you are right the ammo gets destroyed.

[@justevil100]

Endless Seige..... I need this in my life.

[@memnarch129]

Its Easy math, Endless Siege wins hands down. The RPM difference is minimal, 900 for Siege/1000 for Stral. The BIG difference is the Ammo Capacity. Base Stral is a 100 or 150 so even with inscrips your talking 140-190. The base Siege is a 200 so with perk, before Inscrips or the Colossus Comp that increases Mags by 35%, your talking the Siege has a 400 Round Magazine. RPM wise that means the Stral dumps the mag Way too quickly, thats good for burst but not DPS. At 1000 RPM thats roughly 17 rounds a second so Stral can sustain for around 10 seconds before needing that long reload. 900 RPM is 15 rounds a seconds, lets say somehow you get the Siege up to 600 Rounds your talking 40 seconds of full on fire to dump the mag. Also from what I noticed the Magazine size affects the reserves as well, I had a Torrent at one point that with comps and inscrips had a 400 round mag with 650 spare rounds. Meaning if you can get the Siege to roughly 600 rounds your going to end up with 900+ reserve rounds.

[@idexteam4431]

Which difficulty are you playing on for your normal mission? GM 2?

[@bmankrusty802]

For the papa pump what I do is shoot two shots and just before I go into a fight I'd reload it for the buff

[@azninvasion]

The proper way to use Papa Pump is to prep the gun by shooting 1 shot then reloading, then another and reloading right before an engagement starts. This way you start shooting an enemy with 2 full stacks and a full clip. Paired with Avenging Herald and a couple shotgun damage or reload inscriptions and you can 1 phase the tyrant boss solo on GM1. It's got a very high risk/reward ratio

[@zaydenblu266]

Please do a video of all class master work skills please

[@skraz0r]

Does Elemental Rage really only work on the enemy you've shot at? I thought it was a passive buff on your Javelin that just strengthens elemental attacks and not a debuff on a certain enemy. Also the text doesn't indicate anything like that.

[@archmagetyler]

In my experience the gambit needs its effect rage boosted and frontloaded and truth of tarsis gives you storms deationation effect
