Word Of Crota: The Little 180 That Could

[@CoolGuyGames]

banger 180

[@aprilraine1160]

Smallbore, Accurized, Repulsor Brace, and Adrenaline Junky was a random role I got. unfortunately a reload MW but I only use it in PvE anyway. I love it on my Warlock cause no matter what I do with Briarbinds, something on the weapon activates along with an overshield, its always fun to use.

[@althechicken9597]

Lol I've gotten ONE drop and it had barrel constrictor?? what a joke of a perk. It's like Killclip and Opening shot had a baby, but went on bar crawls every day of the pregnancy. Throw it in perk jail with invisible hand and eddy current lmao.

[@threeofjays6420]

Look man if u need a crafted one I got one

[@supersizesenpai]

Soooo we just gonna ignore this 2000 IQ move. 3:22 🤣

[@VernCarson]

dragonfly + destabilizing paired with cursed thrall makes this gun the only weapon in the game that can cause 3 explosions on a single kill _________ everyone down below keeps stacking mods and exotics that can add explosions to any weapon. I'm talking about the weapon ITSELF. Before all that. Also way too many of y'all don't seem to realize chromatic for only works on kinetic weapons. Word is void.

[@jefftraboulsy8631]

I have an adept dragonfly destabilizing :) it absolutely STOMPS in pve.

[@VernCarson]

@@jefftraboulsy8631 im jealous lol

[@jefftraboulsy8631]

@@VernCarson you'll get one. I believe in you!

[@atomic_wait]

I bet Polaris Lance could do 3 if the scorch causes an Ignition.

[@VernCarson]

@@atomic_waitthat would unfortunately need multiple kills. also, did they change it to Scorch enemies? I didn't play for a bit and missed a lot

[@LukeFadeWalker]

demo frenzy on void is just nasty, even used it with grapple melee builds to proc curses thrall and get grapple back with demolitionist and it’s a blast

[@Kore-Khaos]

Launched an artillery strike @ 3:23 lmao

[@SavageD-qi2ti]

I've not finished leveling mine, it was the first gun that I hard focused from the raid when it launched. I'm beyond hyped as a Contraverse Warlock main to be adding this to the kit with destabilizing and repulsor. The gun is absolutely cracked though, I've just been randomly using it in crucible with the base crafted roll and it still shreds. It's just a good gun, which is always nice when the perks are additive and not mandatory to make it usable. Keep up the great work as always, and good luck on those red border drops!

[@Davethespade]

This 180 with enhanced precision instrument and the frosteez radiant build is insanely good. Can just 3 tap everybody at base and it helps with range drop off and just all round consistency. It's killer. By far my favourite weapon this season and climbing up there as one of my all time favourite builds. Highly recommend trying it out.

[@nathanflinchum1153]

it'd be even better if it was solar lol

[@JakoBreaker]

@@nathanflinchum1153wrong

[@theguitarist1703]

Still better off with Ace by far

[@althechicken9597]

Man, it's too bad I hate solar hunter

[@j8000]

​@@theguitarist1703Ace requires a kill+radiant to get a ttk shift, this setup just requires radiant

[@Avoncarstien]

It's very good, but I would contest it being better than Voltshot + Frenzy on Posterity for PvE. *Especially* on arc, and with Brey Inheritance + the ionic traces, it shoves Demo into a locker in terms of ability recharge. Still, the potential for void interactions, Col 3 Demo, and conditional Dragonfly for an origin trait does make it *very* strong.

[@Companion_]

When the rolls were revealed, I knew I found the perfect hand cannon to run on everything. Once I got all red borders, I went straight into the Enclave and crafted two rolls right off the bat: Demo/Adrenaline specifically for my Contraverse Warlock and Dragonfly/Rampage for general use for both my Titan and Hunter, both leveled to 30 with enhanced perks and it's so hard to put down. I loved my Fatebringer, it gets the job done but Word of Crota just does what FB does significantly better I didn't know how insane Sword Logic was either until I watched a video explaining how exactly it works in PvP and someone must have blessed me because I went into Master Crota on the Bridge challenge and it dropped Word of Crota Adept with Range MW/Smallbore/Ricochet/Killing Wind/Sword Logic. I've gotten well over 500 kills on it and I can safely say that it is now my favourite hand cannon to use in all aspects of the game. Such a tiny thing putting in double the effort of many other primary weapons and I couldn't be happier

[@Tearonex]

I got Killing Wind + Precision Instrument with a range masterwork on my adept roll, it unfortunately can't get the 3 tap on high resil, but I've def got the 3 tap more often then not playing IB this week, and it really catches people off guard when it does

[@misterkapawutzis8018]

Easily my mvp crucible weapon this season. Radiant to Sword Logic. It’s Luna’s Howl/Not Forgotten all over again. So much fun to use.

[@E_Rice]

What role do you have sir? I understand you named the Sword Logic perk but can you share the rest of the details?

[@GrandmaDestiny]

This gun is great! Destabilizing paired with repulsor for Gyrfalcons build is OP. Just such great perks! BTW, thanks for recommendation of Oversoul Edict with Keep Away and Headseeker. Finally snagged an Adept one. 4 outa 5 so I used spoils to rank up. Melts in PvP! @CoolGuy is for real, Guardians, and doesn't tramp all over the game.

[@robertgrajedaiii]

Frenzy is better in my opinion. Gyrfalcon is giving you superior volatile rounds vs destabilizing rounds. Better off buffing your damage than using the trash destabilizing rounds

[@Based_Shogun]

​@@robertgrajedaiiithis

[@GuacBCU]

I have an adept one for PvE with Dragonfly/Sword Logic and it’s so much fun on a Void Titan build with Doomfang

[@Revinance88]

There have been many great raid weapons over the years, but this is the first one that makes me really wish I could have it. Truly amazing perk selection.

[@Votrae]

Thomas be like "My whole body is teeth now. Wanna make someone blow up?"

[@damanredenbach4281]

I have an adept roll with repulsor brace, adrenaline junkie. Pair it with a devour/void build with controverse hold. Grenades proc. Volatile rounds, devour and adrenaline x5, kills get devour+overshield with every kill. An you have your nade back almost instantly to start again. Super strong PvE build!

[@dar_qness7890]

demo frenzy in pve is a great all rounder. Frenzy makes the weapon feel great with the handling and reload, free damage boost and demo on void subclasses with devour... you get your grenades back in seconds, spam volatile rounds, and cursed thrall is the cherry on top. Destroys anything in your path.

[@squaddy-6293]

This HC is kickass, can’t wait to get the craftable version. Just need a raid team now… lol😅

[@MoodyManMoobs]

Had this little guy crafted the week the raid was out. Enhanced DF with rampage is just unbelievably good. Haven’t felt the need to swap off of it since I got it.

[@Yg1988]

I was fortunate enough to get the first adept drop of word of Crota to have dragonfly destabilizing rounds. Needless to say it’s become my go to for ad clearing. It’s a BEAST when you get all 3 going at once. I use it on every character and every class. It’s especially fun on void hunter with gyrfalcons. 4 damage perks all in one gun is just nuts when volatile rounds comes into play along with cursed thrall.

[@VincentLloydM]

This has been my favorite gun in a long time. I've been using it with sword logic killing wind, and it absolutely destroys... When you can get it to proc and when you're in range. But dragonfly destabilizing is probably my go to legendary handcannon. It's so good at ad clear, it's more fun than exotic ad clears imo. If 180s ever get buffed, THIS is my baby. This is my go to weapon.

[@reality_complex3772]

On the chance you kill a guardian while they're in their super, Sword Logic x3 allows it to 2 tap. Rare but still insane.

[@saxdrummerjp]

I've got an old subsistence rampage palindrome that can go through the majority of a strike without reloading, and I'm looking forward to trying it out on word of crota when the time comes

[@kristophershephard7359]

I love 180s and posterity is my favorite but this video has me thinking raiiiiid in my future.

[@secret1566]

It's one thing to realize I was matched with a youtuber after the match (theres so many people with mimicking tags), it's another when realizing me and my friend were part of one of his review videos! We were literally just playing and realized you got put on our team lol (we were in the bannerfall lobby). I do plan on trying out this gun more indepth as I actually love 180s even though they're usually worse at base

[@Philusteen]

I'm 56 and rarely get to raid, but got the "dragonRamp" and it's really fun. That said, what I REALLY want is destabilizing rounds + repulsor brace. I mean, in a primary? Come on - that's a killer PvE void main.

[@lilydusk5042]

Word of Crota is absolutely *stacked* I don't think I've enjoyed a 180 this much since I landed a 5/5 Posterity when the DSC weapons were re-issued. Also, after doing the math on Precision Instrument on Word it looks like the amount of total damage it deals once all stacks have ramped up are enough to down a super. Only downside is you have to hit those heads which can be difficult on very mobile supers like Strand Hunter or Strand Titan. My math had it at 255 damage after 4 crits

[@Efectivtrailer2]

I didn't realize how much I missed these weapon reviews

[@hatchell18]

I crafted 2. 1 with demo/AJ and the other one with destabilizing rounds/repulsor brace. These are definitely the god rolls.

[@MGSCOBRAgames]

I got a random drop with full bore, dragonfly and sword logic. Works great for me in both pve and pvp. One of my favourite weapons in the game right now

[@xdylanwx]

Repulsor brace and sword logic slaps hard

[@robertgrajedaiii]

If you're a hunter with Gyrfalcon use Frenzy instead of destabilizing rounds! Your volatile rounds will activate repulsor brace. Only entertain destabilizing rounds on warlock and titan.

[@patrickoakley7890]

Contraverse Lock + Word Of Crota with enhanced Demo and enhanced Destabilizing Rounds = PURPLE SPOLOSIONS: THE GAME

[@AnamantiumKabur]

I put Dragonfly/Rampage on mine for a Gyrfalcon hunter PvE build, I call it the Legendary Graviton Lance as a Hand Cannon build,

[@supersizesenpai]

I can't help not using Repulsor - Destabilizing weapons when I run void subclass.. That said, not sure if I'm gonna use Word of Crota over my Age old Bond outside of needing a HC for a specific reason.

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

Congratulations, I'll be seeing _that_ thumbnail in my nightmares for a week.

[@InfernoPhilM]

I really like it with Killing Wind and Sword Logic. It can three tap after one kill.

[@bobwardrop8483]

With a Dragonfly/Destabilizing roll you can proc four explosive perks at once. Volatile/Dragonfly/Cursed/Destbilizing. When they all hit is is a thing of beauty. In a more practical application I throw a grenade to proc Volatile. When that runs out I melee to proc Cursed. It’s a good loop that is very sustainable.

[@SixtiesSpiderman]

Got a repulsor brace, destabilising roll early in the season, been using it ever since on my void titan with no backup plans.

[@adamallen3365]

Grinded my A off to get the Adept Killing wind / Sword logic roll .. and well worth it! Love this gun

[@elinederpelt4406]

Wish I could raid for this. Just love 180s and this one’s juiced.

[@LukeFadeWalker]

my favorite one so far, so many great rolls

[@Nautilus_pilot]

Warlocks in the comments, try Briarbinds with a Repulsor roll for Crucible. Rampage/Sword Logic makes three taps even easier, and pairing it all with Harvest and Starvation means that you get both Devour and an overshield on just about every kill.

[@hydractra]

I've got a n adept fully enhanced killing wind sword logic roll with nearly 700 kills so far, all in trials. This thing is the best 180 since posterity, bar none

[@zmerc]

Enhanced precision instrument at base only lets you 3 tap 2 res guardians. I think after the buff next season it’ll be able to 3 tap up to 4 res without any buffs.

[@matthewboomin]

I rolled mine (PvE) Demo/Rampage. Absolute workhorse

[@Iencuz]

Radiant with trust can get 3 taps at 8 resil or below at base with hammer forged, accurized and opening shot and range mw you get up to 98 range and for damage perk you can have golden tricorn, rampage and harmony, or explosive. Easier to get and you can get multiple perks on.

[@ambulance_driver9477]

At least you got one... I've done multiple runs and have never got it or the pulse

[@blakkermambaa]

Enhanced killing wind with sword logic does surprisingly good in crucible.

[@zekkikun528]

demolitionist/destabilizing rounds for void nade builds! underrated combo!

[@dembro27]

The Word of Crota in question: "Sword", probably.

[@keviniaquinto128]

I got basically a 5/5 demo/adrenaline junkie and im super happy with it for pve

[@devin2806]

[@SkulloMad]

I have a killing wind sword logic roll and it absolutely decimates once you get a kill

[@henryl6441]

Got an adept one with kw and sl it is a monster. Super underrated weapon

[@JoshuaDonnieBuller]

I got the an adept with kw and rampage and want the one with sl so bad! Ggs

[@pickme.picker]

I have an adept with demo/precision that im not sure why i kept but im happy i did because its REALLY fun to use in pve as well as pvp

[@remister1984]

glad to see this gun doing better in d2 than in d1

[@julespaco]

Best thumbnail ever! haha

[@Exophobia]

On my gyrfalcon's void hunter build I run Enhanced Dragonfly + Swordlogic. It's just too good in PVE.

[@Flecco]

I hope next season we get anti-barrier hand cannons. Between this and posterity 180s can feel fantastic for pve.

[@gengarclefairy3475]

It’s unstoppable HC next season 👍🏼

[@kheprishornuser2423]

Makes me wish I could get it with box breathing. Must be like 10 people with that thing

[@itslethal4050]

Im shocked you didn't mention on how great Precision Instrument is for PvP. At least the enchanted version. The thing gives me Not Forgotten vibes with that and Killing Wind

He said he heard it was bugged last he heard.

[@AtlRopeGuy]

😂 LITERALLY lol’d in my car from the thumbnail

[@AtlRopeGuy]

Also forgot about the trust roll. That’s what mine is gonna sit as until I need the handcannon (probably never. I’m an AR main)

[@KiddsWithClass]

Repulsor brace adrenaline junkie on voidlock does work

[@golddagger1276]

I have a killing wind Precision on my adept and it’s great don’t sleep on Precision in pvp

[@paladindoesd2]

still mad that this thing isnt a 140. It would have been perfect as one

[@Fynn-Victus]

I have enlightened action sword logic, but the range on that roll could use a better barrel perk ngl

[@joetedesco63]

I have Enlightened action/Rampage. My range sucks though…31, with steady rounds

[@walkeronegaming]

maybe I suck but it NEEDS some stability. gun model gets in the way on mkb. swapped to small bore and with 66 stab I can actually track targets.

[@YaBoiSneedMan]

what do the people think of destabilizing + repulcor brace?

[@evanward6132]

Incredible thumbnail

[@revyrev28]

I just hate the way the gun kicks. I was so excited for this weapon then I saw what recoil direction it had.....killed my excitement 😭

[@JDT979]

I like it too, just wish I vibed more with 180s. Not that it's bad or anything but yeah, they just feel a bit weird imo. What's your issue with raiding currently? Just no time?

[@althechicken9597]

Maybe in 3 years ill have this craftable!

[@WakingDreams34]

enhanced subsistance gives 4 shots back. in most content you will never have to reload. i found alot more value in that paired with destablizing over repulsor or dragonfly

[@TheMegaMagikarp]

I personally think that in PvE, I have no reason to ever go for flared magwell when tac mag exists, a five reload speed difference for an extra bullet? I think I'll take the extra shot every time.

[@Justin-eg4mh]

[@seanoconnor3164]

Are any other 180's worth it?

[@Mugiwara2k]

Yes. For Crucible, Survivors Epitaph, Frontiers Cry.. and for PVE, Posterity. Don’t listen to the slander you’ll hear from people about 180s, they can be excellent in both PVE and PVP. Just give them a try and I’m sure you’ll find you’ll really enjoy at least 1 or 2.

We are enemies this weekend and your Monday night ends badly. Won’t make up for February 12th though…

[@saidsaleh9618]

I am still salty they took dragon fly +rampage from trust and put it on this gun they took my baby cakes away from me 😭😭😭😭

[@LordTonzilla]

I would offer to help you raid more but I'm sure having people to do it isn't the problem for you. Also, this gun really stands out as an example of having almost too many good perks options. I just can't decide what to do with it.

[@jefftraboulsy8631]

I have a few adept word of crotas, some with sword logic, a couple Adrenaline Junkie/Demo rolls, and one Dragonfly/Destabilizing, the adept word of crota with enhanced dragonfly/Destabilizing is ABSOLUTELY WILD. it's the one I'd recommend.

[@denilsonthomas]

Killing Wind + Sword Logic for pvp

[@lumas69]

Treat 180s like a roided sidearm and you'll enjoy them more in PvP

[@ItzNRD]

This is one of the few weapons I think they could've updated from a Precision frame to the newly reworked Aggressive frame to make it more unique/appealing.

[@zekerdeath]

im sorry but a 180 will always be a 180 to me

[@brianbellrosenfelt2531]

There is only one 180 i would bet all my cards on and put All my TRUST in and that would be the one and only O.G Triple O.O.O.G TRUST that weapon with explosive payload Use to battle Luna And Not forgotten back in the day. Theres just something about Explosive Payload on trust it hits like a Mac truck but i do like The Word Of Crota alao its probly the only other 180 ill mess wit

[@SterlingSanders]

Dragon Fly + Swordlogic is goated. Cursed thrall is most useful with distanced/thrown melees.

[@whale-wolf-hawk9488]

I’m a decent PvP main, and awhile ago I got completely wrecked by a radiant/frostee hunter sporting the ADEPT god roll… I literally had to inspect that thing, a f@ck ton of range with already over 1K kills on it.
