TOP 10 BEST EXOTICS To Buy For Solo Players Destiny 2 | Monument To Lost Lights Guide | Final Shape

[@makecodgreatagain6049]

FINALLY a video like this. Literally no one makes them. Especially not at a high quality and with detailed reasoning.

[@1BlueSteel]

But if literally no one makes them, why go on with the next sentence?

[@barrettpatout5354]

​@@1BlueSteel Since you love grammar, you shouldn't start a sentence with "but".

[@1BlueSteel]

@@barrettpatout5354 Thanks, I'll consider that.

[@1BlueSteel]

I've seen a few people make a video like this.

[@alberb]

​@@barrettpatout5354 There is absolutely nothing wrong with starting a sentence with conjunctions.

[@DrShaikG]

Bro you are reading my mind man! These are the questions I've been asking since I started as a new player

[@user-ir4fb6ur6r]

Same 😂

[@BahamutBreaker]

I’m a D2 veteran since 2018. I agree with MOST of the recommendations in this video. It’s a pretty good guide! However, I have two critiques - Legend of Acrius and Bad Juju are “fine” but they do not need to be among the first ten Exotics for a new player to prioritize. I would suggest Tractor Cannon and No Time To Explain or Graviton Lance, instead, but there’s a dozen or so Exotics that I’d put ahead of Acrius or Juju (Trinity Ghoul, Traveler’s Chosen, Riskrunner, Quicksilver, Centrifuse).

[@michaelmaldonado2408]

If you had one excotic cipher and you had to choose between these choices what would you recommend. I need something strong for bosses because I only have revision zero to stun barrier champs.

[@x58727]

@@michaelmaldonado2408 You could try to buy Sleeper Simulant, and then farm for its catalyst.

[@Spritesforpeeps]

for witherhoards catalyst PLEASE get it, i understand its a pain, but get the catalyst boosts, then just use dead messenger. it took me less than an hour, it is VERY worth it

[@billyli5477]

Yup, it is so worth it honestly

[@cssfir3]

Catalyst boosts?

[@Spritesforpeeps]

@@cssfir3 the catalyst boosts in the season pass that increase your progress

[@cssfir3]

@@Spritesforpeeps so I would have to buy the current season pass to get the catalyst boosts?

[@Spritesforpeeps]

@@cssfir3 id suggest it, it makes it faster, you don't have to but with it it only takes about 30 pvp kills instead of like 300

[@gabrieldidan]

bastion for melee builds is a new hot choice since it gives you a range option, if you are picking exotics always go for multipliers (if you are new) like the gun works with exotic armour piece. also if your build is like a close melee build you can farm the side bosses before the big boss solo in raids which helps build your collection.

[@tala9919]

Damn, where was this video when I got back into Destiny after being away for 5 years…. Transition is rough 😂

[@matthewhughes318]

Far out brotha iv been grinding for days lad.

[@thomasleroy68]

Got everything but Legend of Acrius. That, of course you need spoils to purchase. As a person who doesn’t usually do raids, I’m not able to get some of those guns. But all good, got all the rest of these in the video 🙂

[@alianouer8619]

Theres a way to get about 70 spoils a week for free, takes a while but you can still get everything if you do it every week

[@thomasleroy68]

@@alianouer8619 That is true. I forgot you can get to some of those chests, even as a solo player. I’ll look into that. Thanks for the reminder .

[@TUC12341]

Thank you, so much, I skipped around playing destiny so I don’t have a lot of random exotics and knowing which ones are worth it outside of specific builds, idk why no one has made what exotics are worth it cause so many people came back for final shape

[@EternalD2]

You’re welcome

[@1BlueSteel]

The Acrius catalyst of trench barrel is a 50% dmg boost, I'm pretty sure.

[@user-cp4jy6zn6h]

Thanks for the descriptions, and the video. You said the Bad Juju was a good place to start until you get some of the better legendary pulse rifles…. It would be good if you could put together a video on what those legendary pulse rifles are, please 😇 (I find it hard to tell the difference between many of them). I’m a pretty incompetent player, so I find the Graviton Lance helps me out a lot, do you have a your view on it? Thanks again.

[@Father-Pucci]

What class are you playing?

[@nobiazcustomsinc5030]

I REALLY wish they would bring back the ZHALO supercell and make it hit like in D1. They tried with riskrunner but it just aint rhe same. And i wish they would make hardlight hit like it did in D1

[@bidof1888]

That was my all time favorite exotic from D1

[@ZealBreak-vc1ed]

I have a question, how would you get legend of acrius as a solo player? It requires spoils of conquest to be bought if you didn’t get it from its raid and that isn’t necessarily able to be done solo

[@GuillermoTrujilloMoya]

You need to do a Raid. You can use the Fireteam finder...it's fun

[@ZealBreak-vc1ed]

@@GuillermoTrujilloMoya not saying it isn't fun, just that it's not really solo

[@shanewilliams8191]

Awesome video! What’s the handgun with the silencer you use in this video?

[@Rantandreason]

Ticcuu's Divination I just came back to the game and picked that thing up It is sooooo useful

[@csnation]

Dragon's breathe is pretty much the first exotic heavy I would recommend new players to buy. For one it deals a LOT of damage overtime, secondly unlike other rocket launchers, it does not instantly kill you when you fire into something up close. Just gotta back off before it the main warhead explodes lol.

[@michaelmaldonado2408]

If you had to choose one of these with a solar titan build what would you go for?

[@csnation]

@@michaelmaldonado2408 Honestly depends on what you want. Sunshot is pretty much the OG ad clear gun while Polaris Lance was pretty much "The Scout rifle" for a lot of content. Dragon's breathe is just a good heavy because of the DOT which means you can shoot and hide or switch to other weapons to do more damage in the same window. All these are pretty good first picks. If you can live with other legendaries, but absolutely need boss killing power for solo content, I would say Dragon's breathe first. It also auto-reloads without requiring a catalyst so it is quite nice. Other heavy solar weapons I can't recommend them early. Whisper and Sleeper really needs the catalyst. Parasite and Lament require respective DLCs completion. Xenophage is a dungeon quest drop while Gally is a PAID dungeon exotic. Eyes of tomorrow raid exotic. That leaves with Heir apparent which is a machinegun.... So yeah if Boss damage is your need, get Dragon''s Breathe.

[@michaelmaldonado2408]

If you had 1 excotic cipher with a solar build and you had to choose??

[@Arhtehc]

Stats aren’t a factor when getting an exotic weapon from lost light monument? It’s fine to just grab it there?

[@deehamer]

Great vid thx for the info

[@rpaulseymour]

Awesome vid. A hint… try not to use acronyms or deep Destiny lingo. We “blueberries” don’t know it. Example… “ad clearing?” Even DPS some might not know. Etc. but, great vid. Solos seem forgotten, especially by Bungie itself.

[@shadhowe_865]

Tbf “blueberries” is really the only D2 term that you mentioned. “Ads” and “DPS” are general game terms that almost any typical gamer that plays just about any type of game would know about…

[@LimpurtFan6969]

Earned my sub thanks

[@1BlueSteel]

Many people shat on polaris lance until last seasons artifact perks made it good.

[@NEWGHOST9]

Honestly some of the weapon picks are good, but wayyyy too many of these are dps focused, like even the non dps exotics you picked, have dps value, it’s kinda wild, definitely needs more variety, was gonna send this to my new player friend but, i feel like there isnt enough general utility picks from this list

[@alianouer8619]

You dont wanna be wasting an exotic for ad clear since legendaries can do that now

[@dlbarnes]

I am curious do any of the exotics mentioned drop in the open world?

New player here, I have been using graviton lance a ton and feel like I have been shredding enemies and I am always top kills in vanguard/quests where other people join. How does it stack up compared to these weapons?

[@frosts1956]

its pretty much the best meta rn lol, if you get the catalyst too its even better

[@thomasclyne4410]

Graviton is amazing especially with the catalyst. Getting the catalyst is another thing though. You'll either get it to drop quickly or in my case.. Months!

Nice video...quick question. Do you, or do you not have to have completed the leviathan raid to get Legend of Acrius? On the wall it says I need spoils of conquest? That raid is gone, so how do I get it?

[@thomasmurrell9832]

Spoils of Conquest are dropped in all raids, so you don't need to worry about that one raid being gone AFAIK

[@randomuser3555]

@@thomasmurrell9832 Oh thanks! Now I just need a good raid team. I've lost most of my clan when D2 went F2P. I really miss having a good team to work with. It's juts me, my wife and my son now.
