[@embelished_meister500]

I love using Fighting Lion in PvE, if you know how the perk functions, it becomes even more fun to use. One time I shot it five times in a row without needing to reload, and I had volatile rounds active, so there were many void explosions and a very empty room.

[@shadedicedraconics]

I LOVE DETERMINISTIC CHAOS! Holding down the trigger and weakening enemies often is amazing! Add that with Echo of Harvest for a void hunter and you get a pretty solid amount of orbs of power and some void breaches! I love the debuff and the pretty solid damage it has. It also helps a ton with overload champs with this season's mods. All I wish is for a little faster reload but so far I have that covered with Marksman's Dodge.

[@darkdoormat71]

DC in nightfalls is a dream with the ability to weaken on command. Love running this with a buddy running collective obligation

[@chipsawdust5816]

Agreed - it's a great gun!

[@EmberCenturion]

Absolutely nailed this video! You definitely got me with both conditonal finality and osteo striga haha Appreciate the shoutout :)

[@DaddyMo444]

I just saw this video & I'm headed to your channel to sub right now. I didn't get into this game until season 15 & that feels like it was no time ago. Knowing that we're so close to the end & when I see the player base fading it saddens me. So I try to support any decent D2 creators in hopes of keeping this game alive.

[@angelotomasi9413]

Collective Obligation: “your favorite color is purple. Youre so proud of that fact that you share the color purple with everyone you see”

[@endercongamer0125]

True

[@erdtroll7010]

Manticore: *exists* Solar Warlocks:“Look at what they need in order to mimick a fraction of our power!“

[@patsonical]

I actually love Deterministic Chaos. The look and feel are stellar, the whole gimmick of shooting in fours and sixteens is awesome, and it's an off-support weapon since it applies weakness. It's just a shame that it's outclassed by most legendary machine guns (even with the weakness and volatile), and that there are just so many easy ways to get weakness anyway.

[@JoshaSolomon]

It really does feel good. Plus it packs one hell of a punch!

[@icicle_ai]

Something I would have mentioned with xenophage is a reference to 40k. It's essentially a heavy bolter

[@alexernst9448]

Honestly the reload for Huckleberry is one of my favorite things about it. That fun "ding, spin" sound like an old fashioned cash register. Easily my favorite Tex weapon until DMT came out.

[@frostyfox1649]

For day 1 Crotas End, I ran Cenotaph mask with well, navigator, and bequest. I could make tons of ammo, share restoration by consuming my healing grenade, and give woven mail to my teammates all the time. It was a lot of fun! I absolutely love Navigator. I also love lumina with cenotaph as well 💜

[@taigafox_]

I've been using Manticore for a few months now and it's honestly pretty good for pvp if you play right. Shatterdive to get out of the air quickly, be smart with how you pick your fights, and always know your environment/escapes (you can charge the perk by shooting stasis crystals by the way!)

[@quil7184]

Deterministic chaos is one of my favorite exotics not THE favorite but I love the gun and it gives me happy brain chemical… also my friend uses it actually almost every time he plays void

[@Swaggmire215]

It held the machine gun game down till bungie allowed retrofit escapade then all chaos ensued lol

[@quil7184]

@@Swaggmire215 ngl I am either severely SMRT or just questioning if I can read (warlock BTW but have a mind of a Titan) I am just gonna say chaos is in its name and it’s to be determined

[@jules9m]

Don't ever disrespect DETERMINISTIC CHAOS

[@genuineproxy1991]

Sunshot and Graviton Lance for me... both very accurate. It's so fun shooting one enemy in a group of like 5-10 and then they just all... die lol. Both guns give that very satisfying result.. and of course the sound of Graviton

[@Nihilxxstic]

Really entertaining! The hard work put into the video shows :)

[@CastleContent]

Thanks a ton!

[@ebzdawka5619]

Yup…the thorn personality is 100000% true.

[@LTurmoil47]

Considering Deterministic Chaos is a machine gun that makes enemies volatile and weakened, I would prefer this over tractor cannon in long range engagements. It has been my personal favorite for a while and still use it.

[@thecrimsoncommando3875]

Queenbreaker: Clearly you just got through a bad Glassway run. "We don't exist" my ass.

[@sicktodeath0_0]

Ok. I love Deterministic Chaos for Void builds, because it has weakening rounds. It gives you the benefits of a heavy machine gun AND the Tractor Cannon. I use it more often with my Hunter because of the slow reload, but I use it whenever there are a lot of void shielded enemies, especially with this season's overload mod for HMGs, against Overload Champions. 😊♥️✌️

[@nova1662]

You do not undertand how happy i was when Monte Carlo had its catalyst announced. Been rocking the Western Front ornament the day i got it in season 15

[@genultz4866]

I love determinsitic chaos cause I can chain weaken and volatile as a void hunter, pour the clip dodge reload and shred things. It brings me joy.

[@Metalmattress4]

Some archers idolize Legolas. Others idolize Hawkeye Gough.

[@WhenToastersAttack]

Hearing Polaris Lance’s name makes me miss solar 2.0 when Dawn Chorus would make its perfect 5th cause chain explosions. 13:14 also makes sense that the guardian who favored Bastion died.

[@VexGoblin]

My favorite exotic is the queenbreaker for the sole reason of me getting to experience the fallen Vandal fantasy

[@thesharinganknight9859]

Queenbreaker's Bow Supremacy

[@balloon3174]

Deterministic chaos is by far my favorite LMG I just find the whole build up to a crazy shot to be super satisfying :)

[@xariyl]

"You keep telling the Arbalest fans that Wish-ender does the job better" F'ing nailed it, lol. As soon as I got my Wishender, Arbalest hit the vault and never came back out. My hunter-friend swears by it, though, and I just shake my head at him sadly when he runs out of ammo.

[@LavenderSystem69]

All I'm gonna say about Deterministic Chaos, is that I'm the one constantly debuffing the bosses, making everyone's numbers turn yellow. So focus fire and enjoy your extra damage out of nowhere, because you have me and my unspeakable angle to thank for it

[@cosmiclikesminecraft]

I would love a reverse of this. What your least favourite exotic says about you

[@klingon401]

An addition to the Two tailed fox: If you missed pre-ordering and getting the chasing kitsune ornament you are praying every night it gets added to the store to be bought

[@SCloud-yy6hn]

as i was near the end of the vid i started wondering what my favorite exotic was, and i felt uneasy, then i realized necrochasm was back in d2 and i knew which part of the vid to look forward to

[@itsnerd]

listen after 30k kills and 90k+ ammo dumped with fourth horseman in pvp i can confidently say i do have some screws loose

[@Mintaaaa]

Necrochasm as a D2 player: you loved the concept on videos, so you farmed crota till you got 90 completions or more in order to obtain those sweet oversouls, now you don’t take it off because you don’t want that time to be wasted. Or you simply like KABOOM

[@eexploreon7408]

For more recent Gravaton Lance, you forgot to add that you also use Greyfalcons for infinite invisibility.

[@Chaos69420]

Deterministic Chaos as my favorite 1. We share a name 2. Volatile on any subclass. It’s simply too good to pass up and on a strand warlock with 4 needles, extra damage is good

[@nicholasjesseman6800]

Tbh, the actual reason Hawkmoon is my favourite is just cause of the ornament. It’s such a pretty gun, and that dopamine hit from that sound on the last bullet is just terrific. The only way this game could be perfect is if I could run both it and dead man’s tale to be the true space cowboy

[@Harvologist]

As the 4th horseman guy, I can confirm, there are loose screws.

[@Zagafur]

honestly, as a div main, i just like playing support. on crota i switch to tractor and take oversoul duty. its not a playstyle for everyone, but theres a reason my clan asks me first when a spot in a raid opens up

[@outcast_k9]

as a two tail fox enjoyer since it came out i must say its my favorite especially now that u can shoot three times with proper flicks you can track and kill three separate targets with the blast radius of a nuke

[@brigpoppa5298]

Hands down best weapon review out there. Well done my friend

[@dapperghost3409]

I would like to say Sturm is really fun to use with lucky pants. The main point is to get close and personal with the durang and kill a bunch of stuff, then when you either need to reload the durang, or take down a powerful enemy or boss fight you take out the Sturm and do a whole bunch of damage with overfill shots that are supposed to do more damage, increasing because of Lucky pants.

[@Megaderpus_Maximus]

I hate saying it. But overcharge don't stack with Lucky Pants

This was a great video, and yeah, as a Trace Rifle+Cenotaph main cant help but love the sentences with Ager's and The Navigator, as I dont know what a primary is, but Ill happily drop a well and make sure you guys always have special+heavy ammo from my kills.

[@kylzepolaczkowaty2197]

I didn't know delicate tomb had a piece of nezerac, I just like how it can hipfire mow down whole crowds and the fact it looks like Sacabambaspis

[@True_Eagle_Media]

As a deathbringer main. It is %1000 worth it for that sweet kill feed delay 😂

[@hunterlife7844]

I used to use deterministic chaos when it first came out because I had a bill that spawned heavy ammo and buffed void damage by a lot. It was infinite suppression and devouring. All those other void buffs all the time. It was just so strong

[@taa347]

Forerunner: He's right I do freak out any time they change something about special ammo. This gun is my baby and I still haven't forgiven them for not letting me have full reserves every brick

[@amongthecouch23]

Tbh i like the Deterministic Chaos its not my fav tho but its like a part 2 to LMGs if they had 1 it just does a decent amount of damage for what it is

[@originalblisz]

I already knew amber, and im so glad you mentioned him, he does great stuff

[@karlatorress13]

Wishe ender main here lol. I love that bow. Been my favorite since I laid eyes on it. The carvings on it , the color the sound. The cherry on top is that it's actually a fantastic weapon to use all around.

[@awesomefuzz4008]

I love Trinity Ghoul not because it's good at addclear, but because its nature as a triple-shot bow plus Lightning Rod makes it absurd for buildcrafting. I've run it on Strand, Solar, and Arc extensively in PvP and they all perform beautifully. Strand for Thread of Isolation Severing everyone near whoever you land a headshot on, Solar for the Well + Lightning Rod oneshotting around corners, and of course Arc for the ability to trigger Lightning Rod effortlessly with Sentient Arc Souls. I don't have Stasis yet, but I suspect Void can pull off some interesting tricks with it too, perhaps with Void Souls or Axion Bolts. Also, one subclass-agnostic trick you can do with it is the ultimate bow-swap combo; it instantly triggers Cascade Point upon landing its triple headshot, thus allowing some truly disgusting TTKs.

[@fishnutz5196]

Just want to note that Worldline is godly for burst damage atm with the double heavy activation

[@2211bumblebee]

I really love Determinstic Chaos, I tried to make it work, but the ammo its just not enough If someday bungie make a catalyst like triple tap or 4ths the charm, I'll definitely be a Deterministic main mark my words

[@mozin01]

It has the niche of being the void divinity and is great with actium war rig

Despite the sound change to Graviton Lance, it still serves as the "Garand Ping" in Destiny to me.

I loved doing the catalysts for all the exotics was such a fun time. I love Jade Rabbit because precision shots lol but my go to is Suros Regime. Brings me back to D1 days in high school grinding out Vault, Crota, Wolves, Oryx and Iron Lord. Been playing since Beta I always find myself going back to the game

[@chipsawdust5816]

Man I still haven't finished the cat for Suros Regime. Frostbolt had a video recently that made me think maybe now's the time.

[@GomaGoPowerRangers]

me personally, i just love how Crimson's small description says (basically) "yeah this shit doesnt exist. snitches get stitches fuckass." k that last part was from the look of the thing bc COME ON. crimes happened there

[@tenken73]

Kind of offended you got the Wavesplitter right 😂

[@MirunaNero]

14:47 Hawkmoon Not only is Hawkmoon my favorite exotic in the game it's ALWAYS been my favorite exotic. It is still equipped on my d1 warlock (which I still have saved transfered into d2 to this day) To say "pumped" was an understatement. Hawkmoon is my BABY. I literally wrote fanfiction about it before BL and I was still pissed it wasn't in the game. And when I saw the announcement I actually screamed and then cried tears of joy. And yes, Paracausal shot really does feel like a significantly better alternative to its old function. Even if it's harder to pull off the deterministic nature of it makes it feel way better to use. On top of the fact that it genuinely feels so much more like you're actually "holding aces" as per the old exotic perk

[@Columbo-lp6ti]

I actually rlly like deterministic chaos and actually used it as my main exotic for a while. The 4th shot weakening enemies to basically make it an infinite critical printer is wild. Plus not to mention it looks cool af

[@Atraks-1_MILF_Exo]

Fun fact about Graviton Lance: The pitch of the sound you hear after the shots gets slightly higher the lower your magazine gets

[@primegamer2269]

Yes I agree with the dead mans stereo type you put I love the old style of it and was excited when it was brought into crafting

[@SavoryParty]

As a former ruinous effigy enjoyer i got to say it does not surprise me you got so many clips.

[@maeveliv2517]

Im a final warning main and for anyone who wants to try it out, use assassins cowl with it on strand hunter and youll be able to grapple in, hit a melee and go invis, and charge at the same time which allows you to get a full charge in the bosses face without him looking at you, than as youre unloading the full dmg into the bosses face for that increased crit dmg, you tap the fire button and itll add dmg ontop of the charge dmg for an insane burst of dmg while being fairly safe upclose.

[@Vyorus]

I would really like to see those Ruinous Effigy clips. There's something about a Guardian dunking on an enemy like they're playing in the NBA that just looks fun.

[@rowdiestgaming8330]

Duality is definitely up there for one of my favorite Exotics... and it's competing against quite a few other exotics for that slot. Those are: The Heir Apparent, the Outbreak Perfected, the Forerunner, the Lorenz Driver, and the Verglas Curve. For anyone worried about me loving the Lorenz Driver, I do not play PvP in Destiny 2. It's legitimately not my cup of tea. Instead, I spend my time stealing all of the kills in Strikes and patrol spaces. :P

[@ima1hpwounder580]

Collective action user, i main titan: you are someone who enjoys making any content a joke, people don’t realise how good this is until you make everything in a gms suppressed and weakened while exploding everything with volatile, there is also a high chance you struggle with choosing which void exotic armour to pair with this

[@ch1ck3n195]

You would be wrong about deterministic chaos. It is my favorite exotic heavy weapon, with Lament in second. I love running it with a thunder-lord user for DPS

[@Saucynuggets01]

[@dragonsmith9502]

All i'm going to say for Izanagi's is that I've had the same one in my vault since I got it in Forsaken, was hyped to hell when it got a catalyst making it EVEN BETTER, and I PREDICTED the sword ornament... Even if I thought it was going to be a Nodachi instead of the greatsword from Berserk.
