Shoutout to Chain of Command machine gun for having that unique perk combo of osmosis and demolitionist. No painful grind to get being a ritual weapon and has the flexibility to match the burn of whatever subclass you're running. Really great on grenade focused builds. Bit more of a jack-of-all-trades master-of-none but I love it for its flexibility.

[@pokehero77]

Good point

[@sayyedzarrar]

Also the only kinetic LMG in the game. Use osmosis then switch to adrenaline Junkie. Very fun to use with the new kinetic surge mods.

[@SheriffRez]

I was just about to say this. This is all I have been using on my warlock StarFire build. You literally never have to reload.

[@SunSun-sk4si]

I feel like Lingering Dread should've gotten a mention for kinetic slot GLs. The combination of disorienting grenades plus chill clip makes it a fantastic multi-purpose tool for general crowd control, being able to both disable groups of adds and shut down 2/3 champions in the game, and being able to pair that with either auto-loading for more fluid disorienting nades or ambitious assassin for faster freezes against unstoppables puts it above Ignition Code's slide-spam imo.

[@Ahms0127]

Stasis is genuinely broken against champions it’s a 3/3 counter where freezing just completely negated them from ever using their barrier

[@LoFoSho]

I cannot believe lingering dread didn’t even get mention. That gl is the best!! My go to.

[@MoneyTalks1812]

Yeah I'm very surprised it didn't show up. I've been using it non-stop for the past few seasons with Auto and Chill Clip. Pair it with any of the 3 main SMG's and it's smooth sailing. I think Pardon Out Dust is just more accessible to people and maybe that's why it didn't show up.

[@greenlightxbpg]

Facts. Blinding + auto loading + chill clip = god mode

[@entropyascending515]

small note on Commemoration: using extended mag, enhanced subsistence and enhanced killing tally gives you 75 in the mag and 16 back per kill, and generally machine guns being used in ad dense areas means you'll literally never reload it. Most red bars, even in high end master content, die in between 2-4 bullets.

[@jameshughes4138]

I recommend Reconstruction as it passively reloads, and I pair it with volatile from the Defender tree. Pull it out with a grenade throw, shred ads and gain ability energy for somewhere around 160 bullets, stow as necessary.

[@tslo1808]

@@jameshughes4138 problem being that killing tally goes away every time you holster it, and subsistence means you never have to reload anyway

[@elijahwaggoner545]

Enhanced killing tally negates the need for the mag perk in the second column. You can instead run back up mag as a mod and run steady rounds for easier use. And you're smoking if you think killing tally isn't the play

[@HammerDax]

@@tslo1808 You don't need to holster it for reconstruction to work.

[@tslo1808]

The gun is pretty stable with arrowhead brake, and reconstruction procs on not shooting for 3.6 seconds, which means you’re probably swapping off to shoot something else, losing killing tally X3, or you’re just sitting with your machine gun out not shooting, unless I’m missing something? Killing tally is only 4th column perk I’d use for sure; but extra bullets just mean that subsistence killing tally combo takes longer to stop fully working

[@HexenHowll]

Chain of Command came out of left field to be my most used heavy this season with a stasis turret build. Every LMG kill buffs the gun with adrenaline junkie and demo gives you a chunk of grenade energy. Right when the mag is empty you throw a turret down and you never have to reload. Throw some stasis surge mods on and it becomes a monster in only a few seconds of firing 10/10

[@samvimes9510]

FYI, Deafening Whisper is sometimes in the Dares of Eternity loot pool. Xur also sells it occasionally.

[@MrTmm97]

15:41 I’m surprised Glaciocasm with Subsistence/Slideshot+Resivoir Burst was not close to top spot. However I think as more people get this season’s Iterative Loop with compulsive reloader and voltshot and Royal Executioner with envious assassin and reservoir burst crafted they will become much more common. Ehroar did a video on both and Iterative Loop being rapid fire and having voltshot has very high dps for a special weapon while being great at ad clear while envious assassin on Royal Executioner can give you reservoir burst on 10+ shots straight. People should craft them and give them a shot Great video Datto as usual.

[@Aloysius4126]

I forgot I had one of these (subsistence+burst) in my vault and just started using it recently and my GOD it's so fun to use.

[@Paladin1034]

I never got glacio to roll with subsistence/reservoir. I wanted one bad

[@uhoh9000]

I'm liking the Incandescent royal Executioner much more than the RB one. RB removes some of your reserves, and you can get some of the exact same effects from Incandescent as Reservoir. Kills cause explosions, spread scorch, and killing 3 enemies will cause an Ignition which is just a much bigger RB explosion. And bonus, I dont need to constantly reload to proc it

Perses-D with Rapid Hit/Headstone is pretty much my go-to for kinetic slot Scouts. The Hakke origin trait allows it to shatter the stasis crystals it generates quite quickly, plus the stasis crystals freeze targets around it. Quite fun for regular PvE stuff.

The OG summoner with Rangefinder/Zen moment is the king of the energy slot for pvp for me. Unfortunately I don’t think you can get those perks on it anymore Update: you CAN still get rangefinder but not Zen moment which is insane rn

I still have one of those in my vault. I should use it again…

[@mosc2k]

ammit has dynamic and tap the trigger. No rangefinder but it has a zoom stat advantage over summoner already. Forward path pushes well into pulse range thanks to scopes if you still have one of those. Horror story, the original release, has huge zoom and zen moment if you really want that perk

[@wetpigeon]

@@mosc2k ok but summoner is a 600rpm, ammit is a 450 which really isn’t that viable in pvp in the current meta. If there comes a time where 450’s rise again then I’d agree with you, but currently I still believe summoner to be the king of legendary energy autos for pvp

[@dylannichols3577]

A great alternative to zen is elemental capacitor, every subclass adds something good to the weapon with that perk.

[@Scrappy0794]

I was using mine with DSR and elemental capacitor in iron banner over the weekend, put over 200 kills on it, I forgot how good it was. on strand it gets 69 base AE (it also has extended mag) and if I use my grapple then that goes up to 99 AE, it’s awesome

[@xzilinov]

10:15 For Kinetic slot bow I'm surprised Fel Taradiddle (from The Wellspring) wasn't mentioned. It can roll with Archer's Tempo + Explosive Head and it's craftable, you only need 3 deepsights to get the pattern and the rotation is only 4 days so you'll usually have 2 days a week to farm. Edit: Just saw the energy bow section, Datto why do you hate bows? For Void, Under Your Skin (from season 16) is a great choice (and what I would consider the best in slot). Archer's Tempo + Explosive Head and it can use volatile too for even more explosions. For arc I'd either say Wolftone Draw (S15) or Tripwire Canary (S19), Tripwire has slightly better perks but Wolftone is a better archetype and still has good perks so it's my pick. Unfortunately there's a real lack of legendary solar bows, but the best is Strident Whistle which drops from vanguard activities. It can roll Archer's Tempo in the third column and in the fourth column you can either go Explosive Head or Incandescent. I'm still hunting for one so I can't really say which is better but I'd go Incandescent personally.

[@cralc]

I was disappointed for no bow love too. I've been leveling an Under Your Skin and loving it.

With the void perk cost reduction from the artifact I've been running a bunch of void guns. The Hero's Burden clears funnelweb as a void PVE sub for me. My go to one has repulsor brace / feeding frenzy and especially running Gyrfalcon on void hunter its a machine. Infinite orb generation and overshield makes it so I can run 20 recov and not notice in the slightest. The updated one as of this week also can drop destabilizing rounds which can give infinite volatile rounds without the void subclass for ad clear. Fugue-55 can roll with some great perks for a void sniper in both PVP and PVE. I currently run it for gaze on Nezerac with Vorpal / lead from gold. Basso Ostinato with destabilizing rounds is a nice pick for void shotty in PVE. The rapid fire frame to clear ads quick or proc a volatile explosion on yellow bars.

[@HoldenAGrenade]

For Bows in the kinetic slot, Whispering slab is the only one with demolitionist and therefore an essential grab from Gunsmith/Xur when it comes around. I would go as far to say that, at least for a warlock main, demolitionist on any weapon makes that weapon better than one of the same type without it in most situations.

What are your thoughts on Perpetualis vs. Rufus for both PVE and PVP scenarios?

So I wasn't sure if others noticed that as well, or if it was just me.

[@Izbiski_]

I know that snipers aren't insane for PVE right now, but if they get any kind of buff, look out for an Irukanji, the gunsmith stasis sniper, it has a great perk set up and has veist stinger meaning you can just keep shooting. Another thing, controller users, for when the inevitable SMG nerf/auto buff, craft a perputalis and look for a good coronach for PVP, they roll with zen moment and either target lock or golden tricorn, the changes to zen moment make it an instant keep.

As a certified Trace Rifle enjoyer, I would recommend Rectraced Path over Acacia's, at least for low - mid tier content. While they both can get incandescent, only Retraced can get subsistence, which is a better reload perk for add clear compared to rewind rounds or reconstruction. However I would recommend Acacia's for higher end content. The better damage perk options and reload options that don't require kills help it keep its potency even when adds are a bit more resilient.

Glacioclasm with Slideshot / Reservoir Burst is actually a really solid option for add-clear.

It was briefly mentioned, but I like Bottom Dollar with dragonfly in harder content. It hits just hard enough over other handcannons to let it 1-shot certain enemies, and can be very good for add clear as a workhorse weapon.

Even if the boss is the size of a cement mixer, they always find a way to make the rocket fly under their armpit and explode at the back of the arena.

[@skyeline9228]

I totally agree that wave frame GLs beat out breach loading, but the Prodigal Return deserves a shoutout for having Voltshot. Being able to proc jolt on every shot could be very useful for ability builds that require Ionic Traces.

[@LegitLizard]

I actually fully agree with everything said in this video, very well thought out and put together

[@i_is_patrisha2578]

All hail datto! He has released another video! Praise thee!!!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Good job chat! As an auto rifle fan (but smg main) seeing Last Breath and Chroma Rush in the top spots is awesome. They are truly great. I need to spend more time with Rufus's Fury but I have not been using strand weapons since kinetic weapons are just straight up stronger. As for PvP Lodbrok-C, Ammit AR2, and the other listed for PvE are all good. But in PvP the fact there is a 360 and a 450 rpm that shines is great. In PvE the faster RPMs do better.

[@Iets12341]

everything mentioned in the video for PVE, I don't play PVP. weapons between brackets are of the same element type. auto rifles: (kinetic) Rufus's fury/ chroma rush/last breath (energy) gnawing hunger/ammit/sweet sorrow SMG: (kinetic) submission (energy) calus mini tool/ikelos/(funnelweb/unforgiven) pulse rifle: (kinetic) smite of merain/disparity (energy) BXR/insidious scout rifle: (kinetic) hung jury/nightwatch (energy) (doom of chelchis/vouchsafe)/(trustee/stacato)/(longarm/tarnished mettle) sidearm: (kinetic) peacebond/mykel's reverance/liminal vigil (energy) briggand's law/drang/fioritura hand cannon: (kinetic) fatebringer/eyesluna (energy) nation of beasts/zaouli's bane/palindrome fusion rifle (kinetic) riptide/deliverance (energy) null composure/cartesian coordinate/plug one/main ingredient grenade launcher: (kinetic) ignition code/pardon our dust/disorienting grenades (energy) forebearance/explosive personality/(harsh language/deafening whisper) sniper: (kinetic) succesion/thoughtless (energy) (clown cartridge/fourth's time)+damage perk shotgun: (kinetic) heritage/one-two punch shotty (energy) nessa's oblation/one-two punch shotty bows: (kinetic) acrude redemption/raconteur/biting winds (energy) exotic bows trace rifles: just match element glaives: close to melee/(judgement of kelgorath/ecliptic distaff) POWER WEAPONS machine guns: retrofit escapade/any recent solar MGs/terminus horizon/qullim's terminus/circular logic linear fusions: cataclysmic/taipan/fire and forget/storm chaser rocket launchers: hothead/bump in the night/royal entry grenade launchers: regnant/wendigo/marsilion-c/typhon/koraxis's distress *perks more important* swords: falling guillotine/bequest/other half *perks more important*

Ok, on the first weapons I have got to say I am amazed that Krait didn't poll higher, shocked! It's an amazing rapid fire frame that rolls with Subsistance and numerous damage perks just like Chroma Rush and Rufus's Fury but Stasis. On top of that it has Veist Stinger, which further extends out it's sustained fire alongside Subsistence to sometimes ridiculous levels. Kinda shocked it's this criminally underrated is all, more people should look into getting it! It's very fun!

[@transcendkira]

Everyone's going to have these weapons obviously, that they think should be higher, but that's how it is. Syncopation is another one I love that didn't even feature, though I can understand how for many it'll be all but replaced by Disparity. I still love both of these weapons for PVE though myself, both are incredible with headstone and a reload perk (stats for all has great synergy with headstone).

[@vendexa5840]

Krait just straight up has better stats than chroma rush and has better perks as well. But its stasis, so it deals 10% less damage on default than chroma rush, which makes the gun kinda useless

[@zubrhero5270]

My underrated gems: Tarnation (Craftable Arc Heavy GL) - Enh. Clown Cartridge, Enh. Chain Reaction. Sometimes it's fun to piss away all of your heavy ammo in seconds clearing waves upon waves of enemies. Hero of Ages - (GoA Arc Sword) - Chain Reaction. Exact same reason as above, but with a Vortex Frame, so spin-to-win. Terminal Velocity Kinetic SMG - Not the best SMG by any means... but during Season of the Lost, trying to solo master activities with 3 different shields and Match Game got frustrating AF on one of the maps. I kept trying to brute force it and got my arse handed to me. I had a genius idea and scoured my vault for ANY weapon with Osmosis. I had one with Overflow/Osmosis, and, honestly if it ever goes back to trying to solo some sort of Match Game 3 shields bullshit I'll be bringing it with me. Might not BE good, but it FEELS great to shoot and helped me out tons.

[@marchodl370]

Babe wake up, Datto posted

[@evileraxis2625]

Aurvandl with reconstruction and chill clip is amazing

[@tonymantia8452]

I'm liking the video just for the amount of editing that went into this

[@als1668]

Underrated gem Cantana with timed payload. Love the video Datto!

[@NevrNewd]

As a new player that has not gotten an exotic yet, I appreciate this!

[@lopdat8353]

Don't even care if this isn't the most "exciting" piece content I needed this!!

[@PandaXStorm]

my underrated weapon list Sidearms: Buzzard with kinetic tremors, Farewell with frenzy, Seventh Seraph SI with dragonfly or surrounded Handcannon: timed payload Cantata-57 (for champion stuns with season mods) Scoutrifle: Perses-D with shoot to loot + explosive payload Autorifles: Seventh Seraph Carbine with targetlock for pvp, Krait with headstone, The Number with surplus + damage perk

[@cochi2221]

Glad to have every single weapon mentioned

[@glory8498]

returning to destiny and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you datto

[@ak-1832]

The Caretaker sword deserves some props for being the only sword so far to have a subclass-related perk like Incandescent. It’s filthy in PvE

[@BahamutBreaker]

I think this video is pretty accurate, particularly in the energy/middle weapon slot. I do think Datto’s community had a few whiffs in the kinetic/top weapon slot, though. Auto rifles don’t get a lot of usage in PvE lately, but with the 2023 changes to kinetic damage, I think you want to be using a kinetic (not a Stasis or Strand) weapon, outside of specific builds (Headstone, Unraveling, etc.). Scathelocke and False Promises are fantastic in this role, especially because you want better range/zoom from a PvE Auto … otherwise you might as well use a SMG. For pulse rifles, even though it’s Stasis, it seems criminal to not include Syncopation-53 for PvE. I agree that both Smite of Merain and Disparity are excellent, but Syncopation-53 is the way to go if you want to run a non-Exotic top-slot pulse.

[@daltonsexton4895]

I agree with the kinetic slot being jank. Not having silicon neuroma included for pve is crazy. Best dps for 72rpm with triple tap firing line with adept mods aswell.

[@AcidicSaliva]

Extraordinary rendition with zen and frenzy for pvp is a personal favorite. Also wolftone with shoot to loot and dragonfly makes it my favorite legendary energy bow

[@EnigmacTheFirst]

The curated Chattering Bone with high impact reserves + kill clip is still my go-to kinetic pulse.

[@elijahemory6708]

One of my favorite feeling legendary weapons of all time is escape velocity with elemental capacitor running solar. Idk why but I just love it.

[@deejayy8303]

You indirectly helped me clean out my vault with this video lol

[@K.aotic997]

Felt this was also a good mention: Aisha’s Embrace if you have vorpal on it can contest with vouchsafe very well. Other very good legendaries that weren’t mentioned here are lingering dread, irukandji, no reprieve, Father’s sins, aisha’s embrace(adept), Sleepless, royal entry There are many other good ones for sure but these are some of my favorites that make their way into my day one loadouts/gm loadouts. Hope this helps peeps out :)
