[@cykeok3525]

Even for Le Monarque, Fallout excluded Overload Bow from the assessment because the artifact mod won't be around permanently. So he's looking at it from a new guy's perspective. Think about it: If we have a new player who starts Destiny 2 today, after playing through this entire season (for 6 months).. by the end of the season he won't be a new guy anymore. At that point, that player would have enough experience+understanding to make his own decision on what weapons he wants to buy from the Kiosk. Pretty sure that's part of Fallout's reasoning.

Not only are you selling new lights but also us in the LFG. Want this game to get better? At least tell ppl the right thing for starters

[@alicedesjardins1735]

I still think ruinous is a top tier weapon "under certains circumstances ". This weapon with a minimal build of elemental well and some charge with light mod... Can make you solo all dungeons of the game easily if you pair yourself with a good dps weapon on the side (i used either Guillotine or a purple grenade launcher with clown cartrige and chain reactions). This weapon is clearly more potent on a warlock i think, even though other classes can make it work since if you pair it with Nezarec's sin or even maybe new verity's brow you'll have excelent results on about anything. this weapon suck in pvp, true, but in pve it is doing well, it was better last season since it was doing almost same damage as a nova bomb.... (yes, 2 ult in 1 sec if you chain dunk and nova bomb) But it still does rn half the damage of a ult for a single kill .Also, when you block, none of the melee attack of bosses will make you knockback so you can wait for a boss to slam when shielding, dunk, stagger almost any bosses in the game, put a rift safely and start slashing away all your misery with a sword. Its does also don't care at all about ammo economy, since 3 bullet out of almost 400 in reserve to kill about 10+ ennemies in average is enough normally to get some green bricks to spawn. Lastly.... trace rifles just do more damage than a auto rifle and with that one you don't care about losing ammo because like i said, the weapon have so much ammo already. (i use 2 special weapon and i use ruinous as my primary and is till never run out of ammo). Overall... the weapon is clearly good when someone know how to use it, buuuuuut it is clearly also a meme weapon, and that's why it'll stay my main.

[@panchoq4]

It is a great weapon, you can even use it as a primary while using another special ammo weapon, great for dungeons and solo content, and the draining ability to stay alive even if you are sorrounded by ads and thougher enemies and then using the heavy attack?, I just think people don't know how to use it, and this is after the draining life nerf like two season ago and stills much better than most of the guns on the kiosk

Also as a Hunter main I agree, it’s been my favorite weapon for most PvE content ever since I got it from the original quest in Arrivals, even despite the nerf it got in the meantime. Sure, it’s trash (or at least extremely hard to use effectively) in PvP and definitely not great for endgame content like raid bosses or Grandmaster Nightfalls, but I feel most players (especially if they’re new) are not going to do that type of stuff on a daily basis anyway. And for everything else, it’s extremely fun to use and learn and it’s very effective once you get a hang of it - it’s probably the most original exotic weapon in the game. I’m not a great player by any stretch of imagination, but I’ve consistently been at the top of the Gambit scorecard across both teams with RE. Same for most strikes. And you don’t even need a build for it, it’s been great even without trace rifle ammo mods prior to last season (although they do help, sure). Once you learn the ways to use the Relic (orb), it’s one of the best weapons for add clear and you can still take most of champion’s health with the orb slam. Given the many ways to use the weapon’s features in like 75% of Destiny’s PvE content, I’d risk saying that it’s the best bang for the buck weapon from the kiosk for a New Light player, especially that, realistically, it’s going to take MONTHS for them before they can raid and then get enough Spoils of Conquest from that to get something like Anarchy. I’m a bit surprised that most weapons got the PvP vs PvE breakdown here, but the RE has been trashed for it’s lackluster PvP performance (agreed) and I guess only mentioned for the camera? WTF? :D I didn’t even know about the camera stuff, I still don’t care about this and I’d say 99% of players will not either. This is definitely not where the strength of this weapon is going to be for most players, not by a long shot.

[@EloquentTroll]

Ruinous Effigy is a weapon made for fun, and it delivers a ton of fun. It's actually pretty decent in Gambit, take out a shank then dunk the orb on all his friends, and anything that survived the dunk now takes Extra damage from the gun.

While most people in this comments section are already aware, if a new player happens to be here and sees this, there is a reason for certain exotics being present in the kiosk while others aren't and how those are determined. Our current Kiosk exotics are those which used to be acquired by means of an exotic quest, from an activity, or as a season pass reward, which is no longer available in the game. Before we had the kiosk the cryptarch would sell the season pass exotics from past seasons the way the kiosk does now. Then, Destiny 2 vaulted a lot of it's older & less trafficked content a few seasons ago with the release of the Beyond Light expansion, for storage reasons or something, and in the process we lost 5 locations (Titan, Io, Mercury, Mars, and the Leviathan) along with all the quests & activities located at, or which required visiting those worlds, plus the Scourge of the Past raid. As a result a significant number of exotics would've become unattainable due to them being exclusive rewards to now inaccessible content. So we were given the Kiosk, which was filled with both the former season exotics and all these exotics that had their original means of acquisition removed from the game, along with the previous season's ritual weapons (the curated legendary weapons also in the kiosk; They used to have quests to get them in past seasons). Those exotic weapons which are absent from the kiosk are available elsewhere in the game, either through rng/ exotic engrams and Xur occasionally, or through their own quests or activities that are still in the game. Also the current season pass exotic is omitted from the kiosk until that season has ended and the next begins, at which point it's added to the kiosk as a new/ returning player jumping in would otherwise have no means of attaining it.

Bad Juju, on the other hand, _at least_ has a ton of utility simply because it does a lot of things in exchange for a small proc requirement in PvE.

[@Matthewbyrd86]

Leviathan's breath is better than people say in other regards, too. It has 15 shots - double that of rocket launchers and it does more damage than most rockets. That right there is compelling (plus the stagger effect). Whenever you need void, unstoppable in a NF, Leviathan's is a good choice. It's also better than people think in Gambi, especially. A lot of good players now know how to get away from Eyes. Leviathan's Breath delivers an instantaneous one-shot from any distance - that kind of killing potential is really useful and serves me well in Gambit. I haven't tried it in Crucible, but I'm sure its better than people think, given its one shot to the body, always. The thing has crazy aim assist, too, on controller.

Dungeons like prophecy are only 1100. Also you can even use them in comp.

[@Verixz-mz4zj]

Rat King can be pretty good with a Graviton Forfeit build with top tree tether. The issue with this is that the catalyst is needed, which is a pretty difficult thing to obtain considering it’s drop rate is super low and it’s completion requirement is a little annoying. Still, very fun invis build and catalyst requirement can be negated via the Thrallways.

[@TheArrivalCyberse]

You don't need rat king for permanent invisibility

[@havingsomeissues3762]

Fun Fact: Ruinous Effigy can be used to cheese Queens Walk, you can swap The Heart of Riven for the Transmutation Spheres. This makes it so no one has to be teleported away during the encounter. So if you and your raid team are having trouble with it. This makes it quite easy.

Ruinous Effigy was purpose built for the blight encounter during the prophecy dungeon. The block sphere heals you as you damage ads between blights and the heavy attack with the transmutation spheres 1-shot all the blights. It's literally made for that encounter and is the only time I ever use it. But I always use It during that encounter.

Honestly, the best thing you can get out of the kiosk is the sparrow. It has 6 boosts instead of 3, is a faster speed than any other sparrow, and has the passive perk of less aggro from enemies. It’s actually a game changer cuz you can always have it on every character.

"How DARE you use Bastion in PVP!" - Player who used Felwinters and 120HC and stasis the entirety of them being a huge issue in pvp.

[@comradethegreat3599]

Not just bastion lmfao I've seen some stereotypical hand cannon/shotgun sweats complaining about Null Composure or Plug One. Mostly fusions in general, but Bastion, Null Composure and Plug One are usually the main targets.

[@Atom_X.]

Bastion is an irritating weapon, its essentially the same issue that shotguns have, people mad dash you so you can't keep distance, and then one tap you. Hand cannons are crit focus weapons, it takes good aim and some thought to use them, making them much less irritating. Stasis is just fun but annoying, especially the hunter one, but its not impossible to counter, just a little more annoying. Conclusion, hand cannons are respectful, bastion is not.

[@the_beastxi8755]

Shot gun is a problem in pvp its beeen meta for like forever it neeeds to fuking change tired of seeing hunters with 100 mobility running around with shotgun 1 shotting every one.

Outbreak perfected is shredding in season of the lost, although I mainly only use it for legend or easier nightfalls and legend or master lost sectors to melt the unstoppable champions. I also haven’t used polaris lance since season of the splicer but it was really good for hive (big precision hitboxes) and bosses also has pretty generous aim assist

[@sergeanttailsrko4589]

"High level PVP players..." You mean the ones that think they are king using a shotgun?

Exactly. 90% of those “high level players” are using thorn, felwinters crutch , and revenant subclass. Boring carbon copies of each other who frown on anyone trying to do something different

I think Sturm is still good even after all the nerfs. It's catalyst makes it so more responsive and accurate with the range & handling Boosts. Still my favorite 120 handcannon of all time. It's just reliable.

[@damy_101]

I havent been able to get the exotic quest thing from xur for the past 2 seasons and i dont have one in my invintory. Anyone know how to fix this?

[@Rocityman]

Ruinous effigy is my favorite weapon of all time for both pve and pvp. I had a 0.7 kda in pvp until I brought it in there. I'm rocking a 1.9 kda now. The thing slaps cheeks.

[@swonardian342]

Just here to say that Ruinous Effigy has 30% more base damage than a coldheart which isn't spun up. That is a LOT of damage, this is a crazy major melter weapon. You can also use the orbs dunk attack to deal absurd damage to inanimate objects, like say the glimmer extractors in the public event. It does 68K damage on hit to theese and destroys them instantly. I love this weapon, it has so much utility. The damage reduction you get while guarding with the orb is also not bad. Not to mention it can heal you. This gun has a lot going for it.

[@blanked8243]

Thx for the hour + uploads man! Appreciate it even as a player from rise of iron lmao

[@thrace_bot1012]

My personal tier list for PvE would be S Tier - Witherhorde, Ticuu's Divination (seasonally), Sleeper Simulant (seasonally) A Tier - Eriana's Vow, Devil's Ruin, Le Monarque, Anarchy, Izanagi's Burden, Whisper of the Worm B Tier - Ruinous Effigy, Tarrabah

[@nasher336]

I use ticuu's divination in the legend lost sectors and it works great

[@viewtifulkiwi7108]

Yo? Ruinous Effigy carried me through lots of hard times in PVE. It's not good PVP but PVE, it's underrated. I don't know why it got nerfed after Beyond Light was released but I wouldn't sleep on it. It's really fun and very niche

[@lactosetheintolerant6537]

Me: a Destiny warlord and has had every exotic to ever come out Also Me: *watches the whole way through*

[@WillStopka]

No time to explain. Easy to use. Get 2 tap potential for a decent amount of time by getting 9 headshots which is VERY easy as a gunslinger

[@bloodySunday77]

9:25 No, there are quite a few other exotics in the kiosk that you need spoils of conquest for. 16:03 A full auto shotgun fires continuously while holding the trigger & instantly (doesn't need a pre-charge). Not an example I would choose. 47:00 About Ticuu... correct arguments but when the season gets a bow mod (and it frequently does), it's absolutely fantastic even in GMs. If there are solar shields there instead of void, it's a choice that's not average at all & often puts Monarque in 2nd place .

[@TheMarine0333]

1. I believe the only other one is Tarrabah that requires spoils as far as guns go 2. It was a good comparison on how it behaves once it charges and fires. It’s recoil pattern is that of an auto shotgun with big kicks and gaps between the kits. 3. Ticcu’s is only good if there are A LOT of solar shields. Outside of that Le Monarque will perform better 9/10 while locking down overloads with the poison. And that’s without it even having a catalyst.

Travellers chosen is a top tier for me in pve now it has a catalyst with full auto and osmosis so more abilities also a few extra rounds in the mag it’s worth the exotic slot especially for stasis supers i usually use tc null composure and acendancy don’t let anyone tell you you have to have the best stuff in the game I find it boring as cayde said every guardian has there own story make yours your own

[@noxu_psn]

Me watching this after masterworks the sturm I bought 🥲

[@Rockalanche]

Personally my favorite exotic, not even from the kiosk, is witherhoard. It does some much damage to bosses, can clear our rank and file enemies by just shooting in down before they spawn and has built in auto-loading holster with the catalyst. It is my default exotic to choose when I don't know what to bring. Even though it costs silver, the new skin for it too was an instant buy for me. Hands down the best skin to me.

[@dizznotdizzy]

particle deconstruction just outdated this video in an instant…

[@dgamefather]

I've very much grown attached to Traveler's Chosen since it released and I would recommend trying it out with its catalyst. Very good in PvE and actually makes it a bit more useful in PvP if you are wanting to try it

[@justgavin_]

It's probably the best sidearm, period. Rat king is second, and I love the gun, but it isn't a close second. Travelers Chosen can now work with so many things, such as Veritys Brow, Nezarecs Sin, Mantle of Battle Harmony(provided you play warlock for these 3) and match game. It's always been good, but the catalyst really put it on everyone's radar and it makes me so happy.

[@alpstinger5083]

Bro what do you recommend traveller's chosen or witherhoard, imma confused!

@@alpstinger5083 Depends on the build and the content. Witherhoard is overall better do to the insane ad clear and tick dmg you can proc with it that combines with other debuffs and buffs (correct me if I'm wrong) while Traveler's Chosen is more for builds that need ability regen like crazy.

[@rickyyang8963]

I'm new, so how do I obtain all these, especially the handcannons

[@turse8201]

Ruinous Effigy is fun for pve, my only wish is they bring back the synergy it had with Stronghold. I know it was a bug and was unintended but it was some of the most fun I've had and it gave me a reason to use the Stronghold, plus it wasn't even overpowered, just good.

[@turse8201]

@Slush the area of effect block with the orb would count as blocking with a sword causing strongholds perk to activate, greatly reducing damage and gaining health from damage taken

[@cbandit7715]

Thorn? Good range? HAHA! Nice joke!

[@Skull35]

Bastion in pve is GREAT. It's amazing against everything. The inherent unstoppable mod saves a mod slot on your arms, and it hits like a TRUCK in pve.

[@Maginator1]

In my humble opinion Ticuus and Le Monarque are high prio for GM’s and solo Lost Sectors and you can swap these out for Mida and Devils Ruin. Also I think the sparrow is of exteme high prio purely for all the time it saves over the entire game.

[@chloec4009]

“Fourth Horseman isn’t really something you’d bring into a raid” Riven Cheese with Falling Guillotine/Horseman would disagree! (Literally the only time I use it lmao)

Hey Riven, you still owe me a Wish. Mine is for the 4th Horseman Catalyst to drop again (Side note. Bakris with 4th Horseman in PvP is really funny)

[@nicholasgraves3149]

Ticuu's is exceptional in Gambit at clearing zones and killing blockers from afar. I easily get 70+ combatants per game with minimal effort. It dominates in lower and mid tier PVE content where it's average damage per shot is enough to one shot, and it also puts in hella work on lost sectors. I'd easily put it right beside the monarque in terms of usefulness in PVE. Standing at max range in Mars/Venus on Gatekeeper with warlock stasis turrets and Ticuu's feels like the easiest tower defense game you've ever played.
