Did the Last Word Buff Make it META?!

Loadout: dim.gg/sbkbphi/Last-Word-Igneous
The Last Word received a 6% damage buff in Into the Light. This allows the weapon to 3 tap all resils once again. It has also benefited from the primary weapon flinch changes that have been made recently. So, do these buffs bring the last word back in the meta? That is the question I will answer in today's video.

Can you make a warlock void build with gravitational lance again?

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

I should be using lucky pants, atm im using Cyrtarachne's Facade. Great flinch resist, can reload with my nade and keep fan fire up for a little longer , and the suspend on air dodge just makes them fodder.

[@tktxlegend4540]

I have always loved Last Word. It has been, and always will be, my favorite weapon in Destiny. I used to use it pretty much exclusively back in the Beyond Light days. That said, I feel like it serves no purpose now. If I'm gonna run a Kinetic Exotic for close range, I'd rather run Huckleberry. It has a ramping rate of fire, kills reload the entire mag with the catalyst, and it has the old uncapped version of Rampage. And that's IF I use a Kinetic Exotic. These days, I use Graviton Lance because I recently got the catalyst for it, and it feels amazing.

[@tylerherdman1755]

Agreed about all the special ammo changes dude. I miss picking up special ammo on kills, it really took lots of fun out of the game

[@FraDestiny]

Yeah I’m pretty indifferent about the old system and the special ammo meter. I think they are both fine. But this new crate system is a nightmare

[@Barleh]

i like using kinetic holster mods and just never have to reload it, since the 120 is your leading weapon.

[@TwoBadYe]

god i miss black armory last word and the exotic mission

[@jamieblakely4043]

Yeah, my biggest issue with last word is one you mentioned. Now that snipers don't feel viable, it's lost its loadout and others feel weird.

[@FraDestiny]

In time we’ll see what special ammo system they settle with and whether or not snipers will be an option

[@glowiboi]

any reason to run the Luckypants build on Solar hunter instead of Void/Strand/Stasis? (probably the heal nade, considering your clean gameplay)

[@FraDestiny]

It’s just preference. Any subclass works I just like the solar hunter kit. I can get radiant for a much longer duration with that one fragment and proc it with my proximity knife as well

[@glowiboi]

@@FraDestiny i appreciate you responding

[@ItsNukem]

Hey FRA How does Igneous prock radiant?? Ace with radiant is my fav 2 tap build

[@FraDestiny]

With the seasonal artifact mod “flint striker”, if you hit 3 headshots with it within a few seconds of each other it procs radiant

[@glowiboi]

Also do you prefer the new igneous deterministic recoil at 95 or 100?

[@FraDestiny]

I haven’t even paid attention to its recoil direction so I don’t know

[@capeclint]

It’d be nice if the made a catalyst that drop the rpm when ADSing. It would make the gun feel like an exotic (being something exotic) without trapping it in a narrow range parameter.

[@vergil985]

Turns into first curse when ads

[@boredtolife7879]

last word on mnk will always be fun to watch

[@chubby2phat387]

Do you stream?

[@FraDestiny]

I do not stream at the moment. I honestly don’t play often enough to stream. I only play to get content for videos really

[@user-cj5iu6zj7f]

fkn great cool video.

[@thomassimmons1306]

I’m a professional choker from about 10:00-10:02pm

[@FraDestiny]

😂

[@mattp8654]

Last word was king in d1... like, kinda the whole life of d1... its pretty much sunset

[@Nexxplane]

8:15 I love the cutoff 😭

[@connorsarkissian3095]

It would be really cool if snipers gave 3 ammo per transmat. The crate system is pretty terrible.

[@FraDestiny]

Yeah adjusting the amount of ammo you get per weapon is something they are gonna have to look into. I also would like to see special ammo kills contribute to your next transmat even if it were less than primary kills. Then maybe snipers could contribute more than shotguns

[@sportsguy23]

The game has way too many one hit kill weapons. Reducing special is a W in my opinion.

[@FraDestiny]

I’m fine with a reduction in special as well but it is hurting snipers the most which hurts the last word

[@ALESAUR79]

that guy didnt kill you cause you threw a healing grenade...

[@FraDestiny]

Those healing grenades shouldn’t have stopped him from killing me either time but I’m aware that they helped

[@jonnovak6856]

TLW + Snipe is still a perfectly viable loadout. It's the same as it's ever been with that loadout - you need to be significantly better at it than other loadouts to compete. TBH I disagree with pretty much everything you say in this vid about TLW. It's incredibly good under 15m. That's when you stop tap firing and full auto. You're not dead after taking 1 fight. You should have marksman's dodge and wormhusk on to slightly reset after your first fight but even still, if you land your shots, you have two ~0.5s TTK kills in the mag at any time. Agreed, however, that it does require a lot more awareness of positioning that other weapons in the game. That's the price you pay for having said ~0.5s TTK. About to hit 30k tracked and 50k total kills on TLW so I like to think I have some understanding of the weapon.

[@FraDestiny]

On mnk, last word plus a sniper is not a viable loadout. Especially, if you are going against competent players using meta loadouts. Hence why that loadout is used by virtually no one in high skill lobbies. Controller is a different story. Last word is very good on controller and the thing I said about the gun not being good within 15 meters doesn’t apply to controller. But on mnk it isn’t worth using. It’s too unforgiving while every other meta option is incredibly forgiving in comparison.

[@igotdropped3timesbyzykzs]

wasnt a buff, they forgot to update it when health got changed so it was literally underperforming, the 6 percent was literally to balance it with the health changes, so tired of people calling it a buff.

[@TN29571]

No buff needed imo. Last Word basically does everything a sidearm does but better if you land head shots. After the controller dead zone changes this things a machine.

[@FraDestiny]

Im sure it’s really potent on controller now but it doesn’t hit the same on mnk. Thats why I’ve always wanted some type of change

[@quubey_]

You can make the same argument for smgs, shotguns, and sidearms, you are forced into a range distance to use them so that argument makes 0 sense. Also to say last word is the only dueling weapon in the game is also incredibly incorrect there are so many weapons that are better at 1v1s than group combat

[@FraDestiny]

Sure, there are definitely weapons better suited for 1v1s than crowd control. But last word is particularly unforgiving when it comes to its aim assist. magazine size, and body shot damage to the point where it can only manage one target at a time without reloading. Smgs and sidearms are way easier to use in my opinion. And keep in mind I play on mnk and last word is much weaker here than on controller. Smgs and sidearms can still be paired with conditional and cloudtrike as well. Last word is an exotic and doesn’t leave you with much options.
