The New Best Aggressive Pulse Rifle (Belisarius-D Review) | Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

[@AzN_Elevation]

Aztecross history channel when?

[@TestingTesting1]

The dodgy recoil is a fatal flaw. Always feels like you’re fighting at a disadvantage.

[@COKEDupMIDG3T]

I’d sub so fast if he did a history channel. That voice is chefs kiss

[@Dustin_lane1]

Bro chill we’re still waiting for his anime channel 😂

[@JohnCena-fp4qg]

Unironically yes

[@Zagafur]

cross can be a guest voice on extra history

[@slipinoy]

God I love Hakke's historical naming. Helps that their modern firearm designs are the least offensive for gun nerds. If only we could get more of the old Hakke glocks in strand/stasis flavor

[@biohazard724]

One of the many reasons I like the Boudicca so much. She has an interesting story and the gun itself not only has baller perks but it takes shaders really well.

[@kiryuchansboyfriend]

@@biohazard724it also says “9mm” on the side with the right shader (which is honestly hilarious when you consider that this basic 21st century strap can hang in your inventory alongside guns made from the bones of literal wish dragons and hive deities 💀)

[@biohazard724]

@jackkarpoe6228 to be fair we're boosting the damage of kinetic weapons with our Light so even though it's a 9mm round it's probably hitting like a 50bmg

[@COKEDupMIDG3T]

[@biohazard724]

All of Häkke's guns are named for warriors from history and if you're any sort of history buff especially war history it's worth combing through your vault, picking a Häkke gun, and looking up the person behind the name.

[@LuciferMoringstar999]

This something i am going to do. Im not really interested in war but im fascinated by history and historical figures of any era. I like learning about things and seeing how they apply to our era and our lifes.

[@Ethanshmeethan00]

I love the model of this gun. So rare we see an actual new model for a foundry weapon

[@Etechtroniks]

Brooo Whaaat!! This thing feels amazing!! Got my 1st last night and 8 looove it. I rolled slice amd hatchling out the gate too😁😁😁

[@Ragumeatsauce]

Gotta say, as a Byzantine history student, loved the Belisarius shoutout.

[@TerranViceGrip]

First rule of Byzantine history, it's called the Roman Empire.

[@edgarl6824]

Roman not Byzantine

[@Ragumeatsauce]

Byzantine historians are literally called “Byzantinists.” Because it’s referring to the field, not the state itself.

[@Redavv]

@@TerranViceGrip Eastern Roman Empire

[@TerranViceGrip]

@@Redavv Roman Empire. Eastern is a modern invention.

[@cardoman3986]

Huge side note: Vorpal buffs any hatchlings it creates. Pair that with perks and you have some serious DPS boosts.

[@LuciferMoringstar999]

I have yet to get a hatchling roll but i got a really good rose so im going to try and get the roll you mentioned and if works like how you said its going to be my main strand weapon.

[@CodiakLBJfan]

Vorpal is too situational and not worth it imo. Rapid hit / Hatchling is where its at.

[@c-dubs31]

Aztecross History lesson jumpscare

[@OutlawLotus]

Yeah the slice/hatchling build is the one I use on my Bug Boss Warlock build. Freaking love the endless threading army.

[@Andrew-nn4ml]

Great video, landed an incredible roll last week. Chambered, Rico, Keep Away, Headseeker, Fitted Stock, Stability MW - all in 85 range, 95 Stability, 100 Recoil with Targeting Adjuster. Liking this roll much better than Disparity - after several crafting versions of Disparity, just never clicked with it.

[@stoop14]

What about compared to messenger

[@Andrew-nn4ml]

@@stoop14 My old Adept Messenger (Rapid Hit, Desperado) is still The King, think it always will be. Desperado still absolutely shreds....

[@Kuhmodo]

I have placed a curse on D2 until they bring back Blast Furnace. However, this pulse ALMOST made me remove the curse. It's good!

[@bainbridgeomega]

Blast Furnace comes this Tuesday… would you PLEASE remove the curse? Lol

[@Soulverine]

Eye of the Storm, Keep Away, or Rapid Hit combined with Headseeker, Zen Moment, or Moving Target are all excellent Crucible options. At one point I think I had 16 of these in my vault. Starting to whittle it down now. Surprised it took Aztecross so long to review it

[@rushsoccer1355]

Sleeper exotic to pair with any pulse in pvp is cadmus ridge on stasis titan. Slice on Beli allows you to choose whether or not to play off your barricade to get the free diamond lance. Slice enables you to move up after placing your barricade in an unfavorable location and win most if not all 1v1 gunfights. In gunfights where multiple people challenge you, landing a single burst as 3 crits, will net you a diamond lance which in many cases, is a free kill.

[@ceruleanwizard]

I like your thinking! Shit, I should look into that on some Slice weapons...

[@damazsta]

This combos is ridiculous rn!

[@TJMODLA]

I might just be a mid player. But, this weapon speaks to me. Got to roll with elemental capacitor and headseeker. The thing has maxed out stability and can really reach those ranges on console.

[@Maestro-K1121]

I've been grinding this gun since it became available and love it. My top three rolls that I can't stop using in PvP/PvE are: Rapid Hit/Kill Clip Rapid Hit/Hatchling Rapid Hit/ Zen Moment I've got other rolls, but I love these.

[@jasonprice9823]

I'm not an avid pvp player at all but I've been doing the 9 games weekly through my characters and the bedt I've gotten is vorpal/hatching. But I do love the feel of 4 bursts in general so I still like it.

[@larrybyrd5634]

I have that same specific roll and it’s very good in pve especially warlock threadling builds

[@ThaAlecman]

Praying for that Garden refresh!

[@art_7151]

With the damage debuff from Sever and the increased need to land crits in the new update, I'm really curious to see if Slice finds a spot as a strong perk- having your outgoing damage reduced is gonna screw with TTK and how forgiving weapons are

[@FrankieRedding]

I got one to drop with Vorpal and Kill clip this weekend, I didn’t even think that was possible.

[@larrybyrd5634]

Whattttt??! Lol that’s awesome

[@ainserillo]

The content drought got Aztecross sounding like Byf

[@ShadowNemesis575]

It's criminal that people forget about revision zero. That thing is NUTS

[@JovialDock]

Its alright

[@RJ_Uploads]

Man I got 1 tapped by that mofo in crucible yesterday 😂

[@iamglooo]

it’s really not

[@ThomasTheTankEngine22]

That thing is the definition of MID

[@Phoenix_KDE]

Oh I haven't. I was using it over the weekend lol.

[@ceruleanwizard]

Ooo, I just realized. It may not be everyone's first choice, but Belisarius with Vorpal, Deconstruct, and the intrinsic Hakke Armaments would make it BEASTLY against vehicles and other objects. Everything about those perks is about increasing it's damage towards those things. Bring that thing against a Cabal tank or a Fallen Brig and you won't even need a special

[@BLT001Gaming]

So did Aztecross do the research or the editors?

[@christiancooper4561]

Actually season of the deep is a strand pulse also, but it's rapid frame. So is Aggressive better?

[@stevenharris9697]

Cross if you have a roll with slice and deconstruct, try it out. I think it may have a hidden synergy we should explore.

[@benmanley2032]

As someone who runs this gun a lot, hear me out. Elemental capacitor is HUGE. I tend to run void in high level pvp content and my pulse has 100 stability. It is SO strong when it just shoots with no recoil. Ik you then have to run void, but def don’t sleep on it. Also for arc it makes the gun extremely snappy too

[@edgetransit3320]

Elemental is the best perk ever

[@rogerhuston8287]

I don't like pulses in general, but use them when they have appropriate champion mods. I have splice + hatchling and will keep it.

[@elijahford3696]

I can give Bungie credit when it comes to references. A lot of the gun names have historical significance. Like the guns are representative of concepts. Pretty apt with some of the names, on reflection.

[@radtacular2218]

I got Vorpal/Deconstruct. With Hakke Breach Armaments as the origin that’s so much bonus damage against vehicles and constructs that I can’t bring myself to dismantle it, even though I’m sure I’ll never use it

[@FrostSe7en]

Lore tab idea: THE Belisarius gets raised as a Guardian and he’s a Crucible god, hence the name.

[@StrattonSmith]

1:14 play 3 games on each character? Even though it says 7 games in general? Is this somehow a way to get 3 random rolls instead of 1, or did Cross just misspeak?

[@SenatorStink]

It's 3 games after your 7 placement matches, so once you do the 7 games and get ranked, you get a drop after 3 games.

[@ZNLBailey]

My roll has KA and HS Without KA activated, its at 92 Range and 85 Stability and 100 Recoil Direction With KA up that goes to 100 Range I think I have the best roll, especially since anti-flinch isn't as important to me considering I'm a 100 Resil Titan.

[@AvatarKnownAsNathanielPeters]

I keep trying other pulse rifles but I always go back to the heating up headseeker autumn wind.

[@bmf489]

Glad you covered Belisarius. Amazing general who just wanted to tend to his fields over gaining power.

[@ERoossien]

Rapid hit and headseeker is the play. Just throw on a counter balance mode and it's already a laser. Rapid hit increases stability and headseeker already pulls the weapon towards the head with nice accuracy.

[@secret1566]

Do not sleep on slice in pvp, especially if you play controller, because of how demanding 4 bursts are unless you're using it for covering fire it actually helps significantly in duels as well as general supports for teammates. Besides that there is 1 roll on it that I want for potentially the dumbest reason....I want vorpal/deconstruct. Now hear me out on this, I simply want to see how good this weapon is, combined with the hakke origin trait, at breaking barricades and bubbles/wells. They are the bane of my existence in pvp and trials, and I would love to have SOMETHING thats both a decent gun by itself as well as good at breaking those alone without teammate support (which I never have)

[@ikon8275]

It's basically like a vigilance wing and a HAKKE strand pulse. I love the scope, it's a big clean square. I'm just not crazy about those 4 burst, like he said.

[@iAowe]

I have a max handling stability range roll, no reload. It is truly insane.

[@LUCKY1i1K7NG]

Tysm, I am now shredding fools with radiant slice

[@swarthygiant1463]

The connection with Belisarius name is simple really, dude was a guardian. He lived and died to serve

[@thesplawn]

Dude I gotta admit that Graviton Lance is actual a great pulse for legend lost sectors for overload champs.. the ad control is great too!

[@MrFosterSan]

These latest music choices on end credits are fire 🔥

[@Costelloworld]

Slice and zen on hunter is wonderful

[@Yeetus__Deletus__PS]

I was really surprised with my keep away Zen moment roll, loved it

[@LordRaine]

Hakke is the most based company, both for their naming conventions and their actual guns in general. I've got a sunset Halfdan with Outlaw that has over two thousand kills on the crucible tracker. We went wild, back in the day. I still spend my gunsmith engrams hunting for the perfect Boudica.

[@SenatorStink]

This thing has been awesome, my first roll was Chambered Comp, fitted stock rapid hit and moving target. With a range MW and it's just a laser. It sits at 92 range and 75 stability. 😅

[@Ins0mn3sia]

I haven't touched comp in who knows how long. But I love this frame of pulse, so I might give this a chase. Man, I love disparity.. haven't used it in so long.

[@paulkorneluk6003]

Belisarius (Cawl) is also the name of a key character in Warhammer 40K .. I could be wrong, but I thought that was the reference Bungie was making (echoed by the title Haruspex , which is the name of a Tyranid creature in the same universe)

[@EpslionBear]

a Haruspex is a old roman religious official who interpreted omens by inspecting the entrails of sacrificial animals. fitting for the season it came from.

[@user-pb8pk3tw9x]

I have many god rolls but the one that took me by surprise is elemental capacitor / kill clip richoccet & chambered 100 stability 99 recoil, absolute laser.

[@ryanballentine138]

To me this weapon is a 10/10. I freaking love the archetype and the feel. I was very fortunate to get the god roll keep away headseeker with max range on week one and it has been a staple pvp weapon for me since. Def recommend to anyone who like pulses this thing can duel at ridiculous ranges outside of almost all non scout or bow weapons

[@treyrandall2983]

My first drop was Vorpal & Deconstruct w/ hawke breach & boss mod, it is kind of unique! Also heard that Deconstruct is getting a buff soon, looking forward to that. Weird how the gun always leans to the left, even at 100 recoil it still fades to the left... Suggest 100 recoil with high stability for PvP.

[@jackstimer5117]

I have an eye of the storm/zen moment roll and holy crap is this thing a 2 bursting laser beam

[@cadenmeyer2557]

I think one overlooked combo on it is vorpal and deconstruct and the hakke breach armaments. All three perks give a damage bonus to vehicles. Idk if there's gonna be a vehicle filled thing in final shape but just in case.

[@DarkDemon259]

They'd never expect that a guardian would be running around with a highly specialized, anti-vehicle *pulse rifle.* Those 2 threshers in Lake of Shadows won't know what hit 'em.

[@tenacity25]

I'm just saying if bungie ever wants to make a hakke weapon that they know is going to be incredibly potent in the meta there's some very significant historical names they could pull for them that'd go really hard and have yet to be used. And I'm speaking from a military leader perspective here. Napoleon, for one. Oh, and Patton would be a great name to use for a hakke rocket launcher. Especially aggressive or high-impact frame.

[@mutant_faux1471]

Just got my Belisarius with Rapid Hit and Zen Moment. Absolute LASER BEAM.

[@awqust1345]

I have a Belisarius-D with: Fluted Barrel , High-Caliber Rounds, Keep Away, Headseeker, Fitted Stock and a Range Masterwork... Its pure destruction in PVP.

[@KatanisPSN]

I'm right there with you. Comp weapons, Trials' weapons and armor, NF weapons should have lore tabs. Heck raid, dungeon armor/weapons should have ones as well. Doesn't need to be memoir long entry. Just sentence or three....some context to add to the theme or where it dropped.

[@redhoodie4111]

a lot of Hakkë weapons are named after greek and persian heros from history and mythology. Its one of the reasons Hakkë is my favorite foundry. Also the weapons look sick as fuck

[@the-hakimo]

Got one with Ricochet rounds, Rapid fire and Kill Clip, been Rocking 1k2+ kills on it already

[@paulrjohns]

I learned more history in this video than all throughout college and high school. Thanks!

[@nottyler6776]

Honestly I found comp more relaxing than Trials lol. And with the changes coming to comp play in March you’re gonna see me in there very frequently.

[@Philusteen]

Been using this over Messenger lately - smallbore/ ricochet/ rapid hit / Headseeker / stability mw. 89 range, 82 stability before rapid hit even kicks in.

[@ChrisCobraElite™]

I only use this pulse in pvp, now i got a ok pve roll but it collects dust in my vault. The one i have for pvp has cork screw, armor piercing, keep away, head seeker, handling masterwork & composite stock. I'll get more as i play today on all 3 of my characters! It's a great pulse, i did just get revision zero solo and I'm enjoying it more right now!

[@aidanhickey7583]

I need Aztecross to be a professor recording lectures

[@kennethbolanoscr6248]

This gun and Firefright brought me to Golden 1 almost Platinum in 6 games per character in comp. Criminaly underrated...

[@kcisthe1st]

The firefright feels so good it was my main PVe primary for a year

[@gryphon123456]

I have a bunch of nice rolls on this but for this archetype I can’t use it over Sacred Provenance. The highlight thermal scope just helps too much and it feels awesome. Also the ret😅coy just feels kinda weird on Belisauriius.

[@zereaux56]

Technically Seraph gave us 3. The 2 Legendaries you named and the Exotic Pulse from the Seraph exotic Mission. It can just swap between 4 burst and 2 burst.

[@norcal7074]

I think eye of the storm/ Headseeker would be fire on this thing

[@fozz3498]

2nd roll got Arrowhead, High Cal + Keep Away and Headseeker (Masterwork is reload speed), Get F'd XD I also have an adept messenger with similar - Arrowhead, High Cal + Rapid Hit and Headseeker (Reload MW)

[@corym.m.3084]

I like the Hakke weapons, but hate how slow they fire. Wish we could change the fire rate

[@gabe4142]

We gotta get the context of the names in each review its honestly really fun

[@kingkai5192]

I don’t use strand like that but I do like aggressive frames so I’m willing to use strand more if I get a good roll of it

[@Shiv.141]

I have been trying for weeks to get into comp and I could never get in

[@irontrident3713]

As much as I like this gun, I still prefer Revision Zero's utility when it comes to map distances. That and the sniper mode is nice especially when dealing with snipers and scout rifles. The two burst mode is able to compete against a NTTE also. (But I do like how close you can get the stats to Revision Zero.)

[@Phyzzl]

Lowkey kinda wished you looked into a vorpal + kill clip roll. Ik it’s kinda niche but it’s still unique. (I have a roll of it, I just don’t know if it’s worth keeping)

[@cyberjive303]

I've got one with Arrow, Ricochet, Rapid, Kill Clip with a Stability MK. It's pretty nasty. Probably be even better with someone who's good!

[@gatorelk]

Does Cross know there is a T at the end of burst? Always love the reviews for all the “burs” lol.

[@ravenstales6457]

My roll has rapid hit and hatchling, alongside AP rounds and fluted barrel

[@infantryvet319]

I have a roll of ricochet rounds eye of the storm and kill clip. It also has a range masterwork and 100 range with hammer forged rifling.

[@jatochgaatjeniksaan3307]

Keep away headseeker is just lovely

[@kidneystone1345]

after messenger getting the cassoid origin trait, Headseeker and rapid hit, rewarding you for landing crits or bodyshots, i still have no reason to touch comp Ever, and no, a 4 burst? ew, disgusting

[@AtlasNYC_]

As far as agg frame pulses I'm waiting for the king to return. Blast furnace, I miss you

[@emckenna1190]

Elemental buffing it to 100 stability on void with KC is really good

[@davidlicea8971]

Cross...... You should do more history lessons on your channel, that was fantastic.

[@pn2072]

i got eye of the storm and head seeker very bueno

[@1leggeddog]

You're right about pulse rifles vs PVE. For some reason, the burst firing nature of pulse rifles doesn't... FEEL right in anything but PVP. In PVP you want accuracy. In PVE, you want volume of fire. You want to hose down hordes of enemies and nothing feels better at doing that than an autorifle. If you want me to use a pulse in PVE it better be a rapid fire pulse that barely moves between bursts

[@chrisotoole82]

I have a Rapid hit zen moment and an elemental capacitor headseeker roll that has 100 stability on void

[@gen8901]

Man I’ve got a dozen and a half of these with many rolls.. Finally my opinion arrived

[@cocodriloblanco]

Glory point system is what i hate about comp, especially on a losing streak. At times matchmaking too

[@welderj1]

I like this pulse rifle, but when it comes to encountering people with high impact pulses, it seemly keep losing their engagement .when it comes to the archetype of the weapon.Mainly messenger with headseaker.

[@iponce2]

love watching reviews for weapons I'll never have lmao. more hakke weapons would be great in destiny, I miss the old new monarchy scout that wasn't bullpup, best weapon model in the game

[@abdelsolares9348]

I got 1 of the 2 god rolls: zen moment & rapid hit. The other one left is rapid hit & kill clip

[@thepurpdoesthework]

I FINALLY got a 6/6 fluted, high cal, stabil mw, keep away, headseeker with hand laid stock (+10 stabil). I tryed a bunch of other rolls includingg a keepaway zen moment one but im on ps5 and keep away head seeker imo is 100% the way to go. I highly recommend checking out coolguys vid on this as well cuz he deep dives into how the recoil direction REALLY works with this thing. I thought u needed 100 recoil too but na not needed 89 is the sweet spot imo. So good Ive been slapping when it eternity in trials this week cover all lanes basically 😂😂🎉🎉

[@koolgamers6763]

I got a vorpal zen moment ricochet roll and I love it

[@tactualoregon8476]

Just made me think of Belisarius Cawl from 40K

[@sirfeint6302]

I'm just sitting here waiting for my BOI, "Sacred Provenance", to get a new perk pool already, and maybe even become craftable. It's the cleanest Pulse Rifle and my favorite legendary because of it's function + aesthetics. That goes for basically every GoS weapon. One day my friends...

[@derrick2241]

I have a rapid hit hatchling roll that's been a lot of fun.

[@greenprotag]

Pulse rifles in PvE? Can I introduce you to BXR? Solar warlock has many options this season, but the ability to fly around and hip fire anytime you like? And have a craftable incandescent weapon? You bet. Sunbracers, Pugilist and incandescent. Instant melees. World covered in fire. Who could ask for more?
