I do have to appreciate that you used "your" theme (as in your intro theme) to finish the video for the best weapon of 2023 for what probably will be the last video of this year. Because that weapon has to be a jack of old trades, the good ol' reliable, I feel like your theme which represent you and your channel is the perfect fit to finish the year. Merry Christmas Nomad. And Happy new year.

Quicksilver really ain't all that surprising.

I fully agree with your pick for Weapon of the Year. It really is a skeleton key for any activity, and it was my go to primary for any new and potentially difficult activity I went into blind this year. Conditional Finality is good and all, but it doesn’t have the honor of being a default loadout weapon like Quicksilver Storm does.

Unsure if this counts, since it's not a D2 weapon, but I think a SOLID runner-up to Apex Predator for "most improved" is Zaouli's Bane. Before Sunshot got buffed (again), Zaouli's was basically the same gun, but it didn't take up your exotic slot. The combo of explosive rounds and Incandescent, in addition to the Origin Trait that can give you up to 6 extra bullets in the mag, vaulted this HC from arguably the worst legendary weapon in D1 to one of the top primaries in the game. It also just got a reload animation fix, so it feels less clunky to use if you're trying to reload-cancel all the time.

I think Until it Returns is the most under-rated weapon this year. No one talks about or uses it, but with overflow/cascade point, it's absolutely incredible. It's overlooked for Swordbreaker and Heritage, which are amazing weapons(and so is this season's slug shotty with cascade point), but Until it's Return is litterly point and fire. Cascade Point is incredibly easy to proc on a special weapon, and when it's active, it's like a legendary 4th Horseman that can hold 16 rounds with overflow and doesn't kick to the sky. Craft one and try it out with Sunshot when you're not on a punch Titan build, and I promise it'll surprise you how well it bursts down nearly any enemy.

Another honourable mention for glow up: Polaris Lance. From sitting in a vault since warmind/forsaken, to absolute explosion monster with the seasonal artifact mods in season of the wish, it really has found it’s place and rivals sunshot in GM level activities. I’m really glad obscure weapons get brought back into the meta. Hell, even skyburner’s oath became meta for the proving grounds strike, and now we have old classics returning once more like Whisper of the Worm and Thorn. Everyone dunks on weapons like Queenbreaker or Wavesplitter, but who knows? We’ve had weapons no one ever gave a second glance at before return back. Maybe we’ll have them in the list next year.

I still think, to this day, that the most powerful aspect of the alt fire mode for quicksilver is the sheer fact of no self damage. That is a simply ridiculous addition to a already strong tool. No matter how swarmed you are, no matter how bad things get, you can whip out the old "GTFO" bomb and clear house. I can't think of a single ranged tool bar maybe tractor cannon that can safely do that.

8:06 For me personally I'd have to give it to Kinetic Tremors. As someone who runs a lot of GMs (the best way to test if your PVE build is good) the ability to turn an average kinetic weapon into an ad clear machine is so underrated. With the enemies having their health, damage, and agro cranked to the max, being able to do 16k+ damage to EVERY single target affected by the tremors per burst in a GRANDMASTER over and over is pretty OP. It honestly should be a perk that should be on an exotic. It synergizes with perks like Shoot-to-loot and Demolitionist and Kinetic siphon mods and the tremors can stun champions when rolled on the corresponding weapon. 21:28 I'd have to give it to Wish-Ender. When you said it can be used for almost everything, I thought you'd go with a Kinetic Exotic. Wish-Ender is the only primary/infinite ammo weapon that can 1-shot Barrier champs, give you literal wallhacks, can be used at any range, pierce a single enemy THREE times including it precision damage + can damage multiple enemies behind the one you're shooting at, doesn't take up a heavy slot or an energy slot, free extra damage JUST BECAUSE it's a kinetic primary, and does free extra damage to Taken enemies, Heavy/special ammo finder works especially well with this (literally every 16 kills will drop a heavy brick), needs no setup for it to shine, and can be run on any class/subclass. I wasn't going to say this because it wasn't released in 2023 but when you said Tractor Cannon, it seems like for some categories you were looking for the weapon that shined the most this year. Plus I'm more biased towards PVE (because Destiny IS a PVE game. It CAN/DOES have a PVP (and glory to you if you enjoy it) but, if they allow so many one shot weapons like LMGs and Rocket launchers, swords, and SUPERS/Abilities in the mix it literally cannot be possible for Destiny 2 to be a legit PVP game hence why there's no official Esports league. There's just no room for outplay. They literally have perks/guns with homing bullets. C'mon be fr guys lol). But yeah other than that this video idea is very unique and I agreed with everything else. Can't wait to see next year's awards show

The downside, negative hit registration. Meanwhile, I took a break from the game, and came back a couple weeks ago. Idk what they did to bows, but my meme bow actually hits things now! And it's a menace. Depending on the veist stinger RNG the ttk fluctuates between 0.01sec below or 0.01 sec above a 140HC. It's FAST.

I went through this whole video constantly asking "Where is Quicksilver Storm? Did he forget it?" And sure enough, there it is as WotY. Well deserved. Also, the Vexcalibur pick just solidifies your validity imo, great pick

Honestly, there needs to be a day, like April Fools or the anniversary of the release of D2, where the exotic limit is turned off. Have three exotic weapons on and all exotic armor. Reign hell. Have fun

love the Vexcaliber pick. Been a fan since it came out, and it has only gotten better as builds have improved. I'm curious: if there had been a legendary winner in the final category, what would you have picked?

Eremite cemented high impact fusions as a quick damage option in most of my builds. Controlled Burst is king

Graviton is a close contender to sunshot in best improved weapon. It got its rate of fire change which destroyed crucibe for a bit and got 3 big pve buffs making it compete very well with sunshot. Only thing I would say sunshot does better is synergy/utility due to it inflicting scorch.

to be honest i think that osteo striga was and is also a competitor for weapon of the year just because of its ad clear potential in pve and its traking and pre- fireing capabilitis in pvp make it an all around great weapon even with its nerfs

Between Quicksilver Storm and Conditional Finality, imo it definitely does make more sense to say Quicksilver purely because it’s easier to obtain

Nomad! I think Leviathan’s breath comes toe to toe with apex predator for both most improved and best dps. It remains viable as a solo dps weapon on its own without reload assists or teammates firing gjallarhorn and on top of that requires very little of the player to reach its full potential. I understand that it’s punching below it’s weight class being compared to a legendary weapon, but id make the case it holds up well to dragons breath in scalability to a 6 player fireteam.

Leviathan's Breath was definitely considered, but that 1s+ draw time is definitely not as easy to proc or get consistent with compared to rockets for most. They're most certainly strong though!

I disagree about crowning duologue. I still use it often, especially this season. It overloads the mag to 5 with the right roll and fires quickly. With overload rockets on the table through the artifact it makes it an awesome grand master option right now.

Tyranny of Heaven is the only *craftable* weapon that can be rolled with Dragon Fly and Incandescent. Build one and fall in love again.

I think Merciless deserves an honorable mention for sleeper exotic of the year. It had a glow up and its actually an extremely good pick for dps but I dont think a lot of people know

fusions never had a huge space in the dps meta, but loaded question was not to be slept on in it's time. recently, merciless has also surprised the hell out of me for EZ burst dps.

Best PvP exotic... definitely Conditional Finality. Single-handedly the counter to every roaming super or defensive super in the game.

Fusions have been meta for dps swaps ever since VOG was put in d2 possibly even before then but that’s when I remember everyone running them the most back when null composure came out

I haven't been watching a lot of D2 content lately, but I really enjoyed this video. Well thought out and articulated. I probably would have picked Conditional Finality for weapon of the year, and it will go down in Destiny history as an all-timer, but I can see the wisdom in choosing Quicksilver Storm as well. If you have it equipped, it's going to perform. Period. Have a nice break, and a Happy New Year.
