I didn't even know these were a thing. Nice to know ahead of time so we don't pump too many resources into upgrading regular weapons before we get the Ultimate weapon(s) we want for our build.

Thank you so much!

[@phoenixkaigaming]

Yujin also benefits from Blue Beetle, definitely running that and Divine Punishment, full support baby

[@TheSilentMist]

The Penetrator reminds me of Eriana’s Vow from Destiny 2 minus the ignition damage so it might be pretty viable depending on how enemy shields work.

[@sikevillian]

Ajax mains rise.. they need our protection 🫡

[@manux5306]

Played since main alpha back in 2021, can't wait to finally try the full game, I haven't played ever since that first time, and I think this was the first UE5 that came very polished for it to being an alpha.

[@user-xu4ou3mt6h]

Divine Punishment and Nazeistra's Devotion seem like they would be perfect for Yujin, as he innately has access to every effect of each weapon.

[@MT-hz8em]

I hope they add more support guns like some that buffs your buffs/healing

[@Piasecznik72]

Blue Beetle is for Bunny. She has both Fusion and Singular tagged skills. 1 is Fusion, 2 and 3 are Singular. 1 and 3 can hit enemies so there you have it. No other descendants (i can't tell about 3 new ones) have those two at once. EDIT: YUJIN has them both. So it is even more suited for him.

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Great call out! I saw that Yujin had them as well. I think it's a perfect fit too.

[@IcyHot5525]

@@Vulkan_Gaming happy about this as want to main Yujin and Blue Beetle looks and sounds amazing

[@russlmao7091]

Not that good for yujin since his skills are not that high damage to build skill critical hit for. However, 12:48 Nazeista's devotion hand cannon and divine punishment are his match in heaven ultimates

[@pir8prod]

Any tips on how to get high level weapons to upgrade low level uniques?

[@ragoonsgg589]

The last dagger will work well with bunny. When you use ability with her she aoes and you'll always have the stacks on stacks up

[@cmike123]

You could swap weapons with the Penetrator or just keep shooting. It's a Hand Cannon. They have really high damage. Only Snipers, Shotguns, and Rocket Launchers had higher normal dps if I remember correctly.

[@jabealexski]

So if ammo is a problem for Restored Relic , just have more Enzo, right?

[@cid7707]

Be sure to check the range on your weapons, especially beam weapons. Beam weapons have a defined cutoff on their range. Anything beyond its range it ceases to do damage.

[@HexFyberYT]

vulkan are we gonna see more videos before release?

[@touatiamir7592]

What do u recommend for yujin ?

[@peterdoucette9390]

Yujin one of the support descendants has both Fusion and Singular Tags on his skills so he'd be good with Blue Beetle.

[@scopedbambi2382]

Piercing light with Lepic's pool. . . I dont use it often but when I do I always ball up 7-13 mobs. It whould be pretty hard not to hit more than one.

[@Exhlt]

Ammo

[@honoryhonra]

Do they all apply vulnerable damage type to bosses or they have resistances to lets say fire, poison etc

[@masterchief9005]

Were you able to see all the classes modules? The devs recent video hinted that some of the modules are class changing(the orange redish ones), with some of the modules not just changing how a specific skill is used but also changing all 4 of your decendants abilities. Seems like a pretty important thing, which has me struggling on who I want to play as first at launch. For example, Enzo, the dev said something about his mini shoulder turret but imagine if he could deploy something bigger. Has me thinking a module he has will let him spawn a giant cannon lol..

[@MajeedBelle]

Hard mode bosses drop them

[@TheGamingBrigadeTV]

LEGEND!!💥💥💥

[@makegaminggreatagain3907]

'Piercing Light' I hope sniper rifles mean elevated locations and long range headshots. Mordecai I miss you.

[@JustArry]

Having Negative stats on these weapons sure is an interesting approach!

[@snowis4010]

Yea you can Mod the weapons to postive effects

[@ShikaRoddy]

Cheers luv, the calvary's here

[@cmike123]

Clairvoyance is a freeze ray; meaning guaranteed Weak Point hits if you can aim. Especially when you slow them by 75%. That is a Colossus beater if I have ever heard of one. Especially on a character with a high damage ability or two.

[@hypedfifa3465]

Would the divine punishment be good for enzo as well?

[@bihxl8933]

are these like exotics from division

do you get the passive effects from having it crafted or do you need it ranked up? like how you can transfuse 2 of the same weapon together

[@krazykuz13cmc]

Craft it again

they will get them later on for sure

They'll probably do it the same way as warframe with primes

[@FieserMoep]

Doesn't Bunny roll with two Fusion and two Singular Skills in her kit for the Arcane Wave?

[@sbfantom]

Waiting on this game but question - can you share loot, give items/guns to friends? Like if I pick up fallen hope and my friend plays the poison character could I just give it to them somehow?

Am I the only one who mistakenly inputs the wrong button because I’m playing multiple games at the same time. Seeing that drop ship made me want to call in the anti tank cannon and shoot it before the enemies could drop. Playing XDefiant I keep double tapping O to dive. Spreading democracy really has taken a toll on the rest of my game play.

[@AlleyCatNinja]

I dont know what game makes you press "O" to dive, but whoever was in charge of the keyboard layout needs to be taken out back and Old Yeller'd.

@@AlleyCatNinja ⭕️ circle I play Helldivers on ps5

[@AlleyCatNinja]

@@someOldBaldguy lol that makes a lot more sense

[@jonmcfluffy9699]

> nothing jumps out on the thing beyond beam rifle its a 70% action speed slow. if that affects all action speed like in path of exile, enemies will move 70% slower, or 3.3 times slower. its a great defense weapon, and since beams tick fast and it last 5s you can tick a crowd once and they are very slow now. also, -30% skill def probably means they take more skill damage, so thats nice, and since its not just your skill damage, supports can use this to give the enemy megaCancer and make them take more damage from mages on your team.

[@MartoPaskalev]

The weapons look kinda cool 😎

[@TheMyki3]

Are we going to have a share stash between descendant ?

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Yes Iirc

[@THYnameISsarcasm]

Are hand cannons weak? I feel like penetrator will be plenty capable of killing tanky enemies on its own

They are beefy. I used one in the tech test that tore through stuff.

Thunder Cage?

What about the thunder smg

[@yehwhatever.]

The first dependant is kinda a simpler younger warframe and im ok with it

[@ultimawolf7228]

Why do I feel like I'm going to end up collecting hand cannons again?

[@cmike123]

There are a lot of good gun types. Ultimates aside, I really enjoyed Beam rifle, Noble rifle, Machine Gun, and Hand Gun. Hand Cannon felt good unless you didnt 1 shot the trash with it.

[@random_midxx]

Honestly please tell me there is a alternative for Gley, snipers are really not my thing

[@Twizzler300]

Gley uses anything. For example the smithereens would be nice since she buffs firearm damage, makes that even stronger. Any gun that adds a weapon buff is nice for gley. She's one of the most broken characters atm

[@jasonnor0]

Blue Beetle Valby maybe ? hmm

[@cmike123]

I'm assuming it is the language barrier, but some of these tooltips need work. The Ultimatum tooltip is very misleading. It looks like all those crit ratings might stack, but what its actually saying is 2% crit + 2% per stack for a max of 12% at max. I think this might be ok for Support to use. After getting max stacks, they can keep hitting new targets for stuns (maybe).

[@Krelgarsh]

What is exactly best main weapon for gley ?

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

I'm going to get Piercing Light for her first and see how she works as a long distance build.

[@doomslayerforever2858]

TLDR BEst guns for ajax???

[@reznya2700]

You also misunderstood piercings light 3rd unique, it's for interceptions bosses when you can pierce them. It isn't for lining up shots on smaller guys - Penetrator is also for Bosses, it's to lower interception bosses shield not normal smaller guys. All the guys they design for interception bosses you seem to be sleeping on for that. Remember they design guns for different game modes.

No showcase of the weapons. A little disappointed. There's a laboratory for that. I'm sure this could've been easily done. But wait. I doubt we have them all. This was just to get early content out to sponge off of how early we are in release for views.

[@magssg15]

Are these guns in the store or in game?

[@stardragoon9250]

In game noobe

[@shimik11]

Is there a limit to how many ultimates you can equip? Like how you're limited to 1 legendary in Destiny 2? Also, i think this ultimate 18:44 would fit with Lepic and Esiemo too (especially Esiemo cause he's a fire burst dps who attaches bombs to enemies, so if you attach multiple bombs to enemy packs and detonate them after the ultimate procs it could do some nasty fire burst damage

[@cmike123]

I dont remember Machine Guns or regular pistols in Destiny, but I also haven't played in a long time.

[@piratehunterreviews9958]

@cmike123 sidearms are a thing. Can't remember if they were in og destiny. Machine guns have been in destiny since the beginning. There are a few differences in some of the category names. Destiny has fusion rifle while this has beam rifle etc but I'm fine with that I like destiny's weapon system. This honestly looks like a game I've wanted for a while now

[@user-gg7zq1zp7u]

Ha ha, and if you don't think Destiny didn't rip them from another game think again. :)

[@piratehunterreviews9958]

@user-gg7zq1zp7u cool dude nobody cares I never said destiny was original in its weapon design or categorization. Go touch grass

[@MishaXG]

Gley has really no good ultimate weapons... maybe the only ones are the heavy pistols and maybe the sniper but why play sniper when you can use rockets and do more anyway. Game is really missing more ultimate weapons design to be "must have" and not just random trash weapons.

-20% accuracy on both aimed and hipfire? Bro that's a crazy debuff. Really hope that gets cut in half. Then a 40% increase to recoil on a weapon that is supposed to accurately target weakpoints? Do they fucking hate Freyna or something? Seems all the weapons meant for her have crazy ridiculous debuffs to the point of making them unusable.

[@cmike123]

​@@emmanuell89 One problem with The Division 2 is even building into Defense was useless because no matter what the game would find a way to do 1.8 million damage if your a dps build or 7 million if your a full defense build.
