The Brave Luna's Howl vs Not Forgotten vs Zaouli's Bane vs The World (FULL REVIEW)

[@CoolGuyGames]

Thank you for watching! I do wonder if they will add other 140 precision later on.

[@ZeeSips]

I presume they'll add Not Forgotten with maybe higher base range, and perks that emphasize range more whenever they refresh Onslaught next year?

[@christophercarlson3183]

I hope this sets a precedent for more 140 Precision Frame HCs, aside from just Luna's and Not Forgotten. The 140 RPM class of HC has always felt like what I would expect of a "precision" weapon, powerful when used, but punishing if used improperly. So I hope Bungie takes this feedback and runs with it.

[@dankerbell]

​@@ZeeSipsthey said if they bring it back they want the focus to be on not forgotten alone as a special reward so it probably wouldn't be part of a refresh alongside other weapons

[@sjf40k]

In B4 comp crucible reward like rose.

[@simon69c]

Yeah I did have a bit of a play with Subsistence-MagHowl in PvE but found it was basically a whole lot of effort to get (very) slightly more damage than my old igneous with Subsistence-Rampagex3 and it was too easy to end up losing them and having to go through it all over again. More interested in going for the Subsistence-Incandescent for PvE personally to avoid ever having to reload (much like the igneous).

My first drop was a shiny Heal Clip + Incandescent roll. Absolutely loving it on Precious Scars Solar Titan.

[@MrDrapichrust]

I feel like subsistance would be better with that. You are getting tons of healing anyway with PS, with subsistance against easier enemies you are able to never reload (each kill refunds 2 ammo).

[@HerrSchemmey]

[@owenhandrich1176]

@@MrDrapichrustthere is no such thing as too much healing lol

[@not_kes]

@@HerrSchemmey Heal clip with a 2.5sec reload just feels strange to me, especially since the ammo is at the end of the animation so you can't even reload early. It's nice to have a pocket heal but I'm stunning myself for 2 seconds each time.

[@dankerbell]

​@@MrDrapichrustsubsistence falls off in harder content where it takes too many bullets to kill that you don't get back from it proccing

[@ForeverLaxx]

The visual recoil of its original frame is what sells it for me. 140s tend to be in this awkward spot of too much visual recoil and *just* enough RoF to throw your aim off if you're firing at full speed. The gun visually settling faster helps a ton with hitting those chained precision hits.

[@stygian9381]

In my experience it’s the opposite, it’s quite difficult to see the target when you aren’t pacing every shot.

[@OSTATEboi419]

I guarantee once the final shape drops we're gonna see a whole lot of Not Forgotten's. To be better than NF, you literally have to get a 5/5 Lunas Howl and most people aren't gonna be that lucky. I saved up over 500 brave trophies and didn't even get a good Lunas, let alone the god roll.

[@Kumari_44]

Guns pretty trash tbh. 1. Because crimson existsts. making it completely irrelevant. 2. Because not forgotten still shits all over it.

[@ramudon2428]

NF looks way worse, which is worth at least 10 range.

[@and...and..]

I've been farming Blast Furnace for this reason. I'd love a perfect Luna's but I don't have that kinda time (or luck)

[@AnotherAyushRaj]

the RNG sucks with Brave weapon. I haven't gotten a single roll for any of the weapons except Elsie's

[@RoyaIl886]

​@Kumari_44 My brother in christ, what are you smoking

[@zebrastripe665]

Having a hard time getting over the disconnect between the 140 rpm fire rate and the 180 hand cannon recoil style. Feels good on controller, bad on mnk personally. But, zhaouli is ugly and looks are the true endgame so I'm gonna go with Luna anyway

[@lammy2140]

Feels weird, but I've never fully stopped using NF so still kinda used to it. I am disappointed that it isn't a 180 though

[@fotis3v480]

Feels bad on controller too. It's throwing me off and I'm a HC main, going from Ace to Lumas feels horrendously bad. Albeit I'll Give it a real shot once i get a 70 range roll to actually test cause 53R is like 31m instead of 33.5 where meta HCs sit.

[@dancohen3651]

Zaoulis was my first crafted weapon from Kings Fall. Everyone swears by it but the gun model and reload animation do not spark joy for me. I’ve been using Epochal integration this entire season because it feels smooth as butter but as soon as I get my God Roll Luna’s it’s on

[@Goblinhandler]

@@fotis3v480you just need to get used to the recoil, then it’s like butter

[@Enlightenment99]

I don’t like 180 recoil. I prefer the 140 recoil.

[@gommyboi380]

Not having epochal integration in the title is CRIMINAL. It has double accuracy perks and it feels very, very good (although i will say lunas feels much better in the air)

[@ShadowSlayr22]

Luna’s feels better cuz it has over triple the AE if you put on an Icarus mod lmao EI: 18 Luna’s: base 45, Icarus 60

[@gommyboi380]

@@ShadowSlayr22 honestly keep away has changed the way i look at handcannon rolls. It makes me un-afraid to fire in the air or hipfire

[@gommyboi380]

Unfortunately there are like 4 handcannons with keep away

[@stardragonnova5046]

I adore epochal. It's my main hc since I run solar like 80% of the time so it works for me in both pve and pvp. However, in pvp, Epochal lacks something that Luna's has in spades: lethality. EI is built for consistency; just existing in your optimal range gives stat bumps and when EotS triggers, you get even more accurate. Luna has the ability to get bonuses to accuracy *and* damage with one being one the the highest damage bonuses in the game (only other perk that can give a 50% damage bonus is golden tricorn). They both have their place and they both feel phenomenal, it's just a matter of what you're looking for. Plus Epochal is static, the roll being compared is a bit iffy when Luna and Zaoili both have a bigger pool of options.

[@CalebDavislfcandfcb]

I really don't see epochal getting enough love. As a hand cannon lover, I just hit 16,000 kills on my epochal. This season it is so disgusting and I love it. Stats for all works so well with it and it feels so crispy.

[@morganagod]

This is one of those reviews that reminds me why I follow you. I clocked how MagHowl worked in the crucible, how utterly mediocre it was in PVE even with Lucky Pants, and how great the heal clip/incandescent roll is for PVE before I saw this review. That sets a precedent for accuracy. So when I hear explanations for stuff that I didn't see right away, I know I can trust that info. I'm now looking forward to finding a 71 range Precision Instrument/Encore Luna's Howl thanks to you. Back to the grind!

[@GQteddybear]

Your guides are always so helpful and informative and never feel forced. As a casual player, it really helps me long term to have a outlook on what the weapon offers from both PvP and PvE standpoints. It cuts down on a lot of time spent on something my may not even want pr want to use later. Can never thank you enough for all the hard work you do. You are a blessing to the Destiny Community ✨️

[@mattstolte2604]

Veteran player returning after many seasons away… this was really helpful. I used to just farm HC’s for KC but there are now so many more perk options for players of meh skill like me to improve their game.

[@thewanderer905]

I got encore, and precision instrument felt so crisp in 1v1. Another great review can't wait for the blast furance review.

[@treyrandall2983]

Did a wall test, n omg... Flip your controller/mouse upside down, aim and pull trigger with no other input. 100% accurate, just amazing! Precision frame's intrinsic also adds +25 AE, making Luna's the best HC from the air. Rolls with heal clip & magnificent howl, my favorite roll so far. Pair with worm husk, reload dodge, vigilance fragment ECT... ECT.. Chain those 2 taps @ full health for every engagement back to back! Been eagerly awaiting Luna's return since it was announced, soooo glad it's better than I thought it was going to be.

[@jonvolcano]

So glad I saw this video before deleting any. I have your 5/5 roll and will now test it out! Thanks for the great review as usual CG!

[@thatr0ryt133]

The detail in your reviews is appreciated. Nearly every other review I’ve seen just picks perks they haven’t tried.

[@svahn1]

I highly agree with your take on precision instrument. It feels like a lot of people overlook it, but it's one of my favorites. And if I want Magnificent Howl I'll just grab my Not Forgotten instead.

[@latentskies]

With a range masterwork and Full Bore its very precise even with the hit on stability from the perk just from the frame itself.

[@QU67Reacher6]

As much as I love Blast Furnace and Hammerhead, Luna's is probably gonna stay focused until Final Shape. It's just so good.

[@KirbyWinz]

Hey CoolGuy! Love your videos. I wanted to mention that you should look into the details on how the new origin trait works along with perks like demo and wellspring. The community insights there are off, ever since the December ability updates. These perks now scale with the cooldown of the ability they are effecting. So that 5% number has a big asterisk and can be as low as 2.5%, if I understood those changes correctly. I know you’re a demo/wellspring enjoyer, not to mention the relevance with the new brave origin trait, so I thought you’d want to know.

[@robertshelp91]

[@ThePackman627]

For PVE I think Mag Howl should be either a 100% damage boost, so you can better use it in harder endgame content, or HCs get buffed vs red bars again. Because that 20% buff they got back in Season of the Witch, didn't move the needle on shots to kill vs red bars. They need another 15-20% buff vs red bars for legendary HCs to feel good in endgame content

[@tayloranderson1993]

I'm convinced heal clip/ incandescent doesn't exist. Have had about 300 Lunas drops, 10 shiny, and none of them have the pair together 🥴

[@MaestroEspada]

Got myself 3 Luna's Howls Slideshot+Kill Clip Eye of the Storm+Magnificent Howl Encore+Precision Instrument And gotta say the third one felt the more consistent for me, while do wanted to make the Magnificent Howl my main I'm not skilled enough to proc it consistently so just having the stats benefits by just shooting felt amazing, wish it had Range MW but still pretty good

[@SpartanWolf222]

While I much appreciate my Kill Clip + Heal Clip as well as my Incandescent + Enlightened Action roll for PVE, I do find that there is a weird quirky combination on Luna's Howl to make Magnificent Howl work: Discord + MH Hear me out: Normally I would never consider Discord on a primary; however, Discord does two things for this gun. One, it bypasses the very low reload speed that requries a loader mod to compensate for it by filling the entire mag with one kill. Two, Precision Hits are not converted into Howl shots by Discord; only manual reload, which can easily get you your x10 stacks. The way I made this work in Onslaught was to slap on a weapon with Harmony/Recombination/Desperate Measures as my secondary option, and I would use that to proc Discord whenever I got to 4 ammo left in the mag. Then I would reload Luna's Howl with x10 stacks and use that until my ammo is gone. Then repeat. Is it particularly better than Kill Clip / Heal Clip for most situations? Nah, but I do admit it's a fun, unique roll that does work and may be better with Enhanced Traits.

[@mace8k]

I understand why they killed Mag Howl the same way they killed Cranial Spike on DMT, bonus damage too easy to get in Crucible, but I feel like the solution is leaving it almost as oppressive in Crucible while completely neutering it in PvE (exactly the same as DMT, although DMT also had the only two really worthwhile PvE perks taken off of the craftable version too, Subsistence and 4th Times). As always appreciate the insights!
