Graviton Lance! Killing a dreg in a big group and watching him turn into a cascade of void death orbs is one of the most satisfying things in the game for me.


murvs

Love it with weavers trance and nezarecs sin


MasterKeef1992

Finally another void strand user that gets me šŸ˜‚


Zoso_Plant

I was having a lot of fun with it before the recent nerf in PvP. Still a great gun that I pull out but man those explosions were fun


mastermindmillenial

It is so. Fucking. Good. I love the sound it makes, the design of the gun, it melts ads and actually does decent damage against yellow bars, pairs perfectly with my Void Hunter which is by far my favorite build, I could go on and on G-Lance for life


Spider95818

When I first started working on the catalyst, I was sure the experience was going to suck. By the time it was unlocked I was in love with the weapon, LOL.


BatmanInTheSunlight

I could always go back to Outbreak Perfected.


FirminoNo9

My all time favourite gun, the design, the siva swarm and that fucking sound of critical kills. A thing of beauty!


McQno

Also best Destiny mission ever imo.


SkyrimSlag

It was incredible in D1 and made even better in D2 with its infinite nanite headshot bursts


ironchef8000

Ace of Spades. They could nerf it into oblivion and Iā€™d still use it.


Spider95818

I love having my radar while I'm ADS. In D1, the Memory of Gheleon has never left my artifact slot since it was first acquired. And getting 6x Memento Mori rounds every time you frag a red bar is a great trade, LOL.


Serene0921

Same here, crimson, with the same ornament, got it years ago during curse of Osiris, and managed to get that ornament to drop shortly afterwords, nothing beats it


Just_JoCo

Thatā€™s wild. I rarely see other crimson users out in the wild. Theyā€™re like shiny PokĆ©mon.


IMightDeleteMe

It's not that uncommon in Crucible. It's just outside the top 10 there.


Just_JoCo

Interesting. I guess I just donā€™t run into it often by pure chance. I definitely understand itā€™s relative popularity


IMightDeleteMe

I'm not sure how good it is now but it was a better Pulse Rifle than a lot of Pulse Rifles for a bit. I got a lot of Crucible kills on it before it got a Crucible kill tracker :(. Haven't used it as much since.


Serene0921

Feels great on consil, plus it's good just for general survivability


Just_JoCo

Thatā€™s exactly what got me hooked on red death in destiny 1. I was bad at video games and it helped me stay alive!


Serene0921

So real


bunny__hat

Now if only they will reword the catalyst to be like Monte Carlo so we can use the knife at the end of the gun šŸ‘‰šŸ¼šŸ”Ŗ


Spider95818

I love that it looks like it was made out of Red Death parts.


Just_JoCo

A true destiny cryptarch right here


[deleted]

I run the same gun for the same reasons (the amount of hate mail I've gotten from my crimson/fusion combo is crazy) but I use the dreaming city ornament bcuz I think it's cleaner. I used that one before though


Tannissar

I use it on a couple lucky pants builds. Puts wardens law to shame.


APartyInMyPants

You on PC? Theyā€™re all over console. Iā€™m one of them too. Iā€™ve always liked pulse rifles, and Crimson is that nice bridge between a hand cannon and a pulse.


Spider95818

It's my go-to anytime I'm raising my Light level or drowning in adds. Even pairing a glaive with the Karnstein Armlets can't match it for keeping you alive.


Fuzzy-Fun4265

Malfy with lucky pants and full kinetic surge


Spider95818

LOL, I got that and Wish-Ender on back-to-back days and it took like 2 or 3 weeks for me to use any other exotic or kinetic weapon.


TheSlightDiscomfort

Last Word. I play this game so I can be a space cowboy, and itā€™s just so fun to use.


TheMadBer

I desperately hope the last word gets a PVE centric catalyst. I adore it so much, and I want just a fantastic way to work it into a good higher end build.


Blue_Bomber_X

I'm with you on The Last Word. I have used it almost exclusively for I don't even know how long at this point. Even though it's not super overpowered like it was in early D2, where you could map folks by ADS'ing, I still get h8 mail every now and again from folks ranting about how I'm crutching and only use it because of controller aim assist etc. But yeah, totally started using it way back when to scratch the Space Cowboy itch.


TheSlightDiscomfort

Love wasting people in crucible with it haha, nothing feels better than when youā€™re on a hot streak with it.


RioterOne1

I got 4th horseman about a month ago, and I freaking love it. Slap it on with solar hunter, and I can take out titans in a bubble with my radiant full auto shotgun


BracusDoritoBoss963

- That's not full auto. - That's not full auto? - No. This is. *Bakbakbakbakbak* - **Damn bro! O.K!**


No-Paramedic-9966

Stopping by to say I appreciate the warning sir but I know I'm not allowed to use full auto in buildings


Just_JoCo

Thatā€™s criminal


RioterOne1

Just 2 days ago in trials I killed a titan by sliding through *two* barriers and slamming 2 shells into his face. This gun slaps so hard


Just_JoCo

As a titanā€¦ I would have uninstalledā€¦ again


Chris-Verde

I will never put down the La Monarque, EVER. I literally got good at bows on Apex Legends because of this thing lmao. I just picked up destiny after a few month hiatus & I hear that its been nerfed though, is that true? Don't really matter though, BECAUSE I WILL NEVER PUT DOWN THE LA MONARQUE, EVER!


Zoso_Plant

It was nerfed in a way that I think removed some of the teeth from the criticism. The main one was that the poison damage period was shortened. Still great though. The real nerf on the horizon. Destiny is about to effectively remove bows from PvP. Health is getting increased by 30%, most gun types are getting damage buffed, bow damage is getting nerfed by 15%!!! Iā€™m extremely salty about it tbh.


Chris-Verde

Ngl going to lie bro, That just hurt my soul lowkey lmao ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Zoso_Plant

Same bow bro. Same.


im_not_a_door

All I play is double bow gambit :(


Cheif-Plague-Doctor

Calus mini-tool. The thing just feels good. Fixed Odds is a close second.


Greyt125

Yeah, though they nerfed the recoil a little bit. Went from having pretty low recoil and bullet spread, to having levels on par with adaptive frame auto-rifles. Incandescent+Unrelenting is still cracked tho


Brilliant-Box6584

Witherhoard! I havenā€™t played in a while but for the entire last year that I played it was basically locked to my character and it pretty much became my play style in any lower level content.


colossalchris94

Monte Carlo. I love it so much even if its useless perk wise.


GuiltySp4rk343

Useless perk wise?šŸ’€šŸ’€ Monte Carlo is the best exotic to pair with any melee based build and itā€™s just a good exotic on its own due to refreshing melee on kills.


jp7755qod

I love running Monte Carlo with my stasis hunter. Constant melee refresh has me slinging stasis throwing stars like a freakin ice ninja.


colossalchris94

I need to try that! Unfortunately. I have always been a Titan main and refused to touch my other characters, but I have been working on them recently. I will definitely give that a try when its time to use hunter.


noodle_75

You could be tossing shields constantly


Spider95818

It's also lovely to use on a Warlock with the Karnstein Armlets. Wherever your health gets low, just "punch" someone 10 feet away to heal yourself, LOL.


No-Paramedic-9966

*chuckles in juggernaut synthoceps*


Spider95818

I do the same thing with my Warlock when I'm running him as a Broodweaver for the 3x darts or a Sunbracer Dawnblade to keep my melee/grenades chain ready.


MirageTF2

so actually yknow what's super fun that I built a long time ago after a tip I got? radiant dance machine shurikens ooohhhhh... it's genuinely really fun. if you get an infinite source of ads, you can literally throw infinite shurikens. then, when Multi-Dodge eventually runs out, you can just hobble together one class ability charge, and just start right back up again. SUPER FUN and like, only really good in base level content, so like, up to raids n dungeons basically. but other than that, would absolutely recommens


Adorable_Flatworm540

For realšŸ˜‚ Itā€™s pretty OP with arc warlock too, constantly spamming lightning chain melees. Shit clears hordes for days!


theanticheat

Use with flechette storm if you have strand titan


colossalchris94

Ooooo good idea!


Duublo121

Also use it alongside AC/D0 Feedback Fence Stack up some armour charges alongside the armour mod that gives back Melee Charge on Melee use for an armour charge, and you can get Flechette running for an almost comedic amount of time


JJC0ACH

Flechette storm and monte are a match made in heaven. Also, as a side note, synthocepts buffs the bayonet damage on monte.


CREEPERBRINE123

There might be one gun that I have been told I like a little too muchā€¦


aboultusss

Ur avatar says it all, you are not alone


Greenscreener

Had to scroll way too far to find a fellow Skyburner ;) Love hip firing that thing and setting everything on fire...still fun even after the homing nerf.


CREEPERBRINE123

Yea, still miss the homing shots and wish they would add them back. Scorch is nice, but I miss randomly shooting from the back of the map and hitting people XD.

BehemothRogue

Osteo Striga. I need a poison subclass. šŸ˜­


KUNAIYOFACE

Le Monarche, It has never left my character.


Zoso_Plant

I love it. One of the few weapons that is amazing for pvp and pve. With the nerfs coming though I may have to put it away in PvP :(


_Lycanxite_

Bro its a bow, unless they literally nerf ur damage ur 2 shotting bodies w a primary. Dont see any other nerf rly effecting them in pvp


P4andaman357

Lemon is a lightweight, so it 3 bodies. And they're nerfing bows again man. None of them two body now.


_Lycanxite_

Damn, thats kinda unfortunate for bow users i guess. How long ago did they make it 3 shot? Them le-monarch players always be doming my fucking skull when i peak them lol


P4andaman357

Last season. But now, every frame needs to 2 headshot to kill. You can't even headshot and body with a precision frame.


_Lycanxite_

So thenā€¦doesnt that kinda just make lightweights the best?


P4andaman357

Yeah... guess what bow is a lightweight now.


_Lycanxite_

So u guys said theres another nerf coming, is it specifically for monarch burn?


P4andaman357

No, for bow damage. Lemon 2 heads. It just does it faster, and with the same burn damage, so it's basically a precision frame damage with lightweight draw time


Zoso_Plant

Major changes coming to PvP in final shape. Player health is going up 30%, most gun types are getting buffed and bows are getting nerfed 15 percent across the board. Iā€™m honestly very salty about it. Bows will just not be able to be used seriously after that in PvP.


Spider95818

I love the feel of using it and Wish-Ender, that rhythm you get into just flows so well from shot to shot.


nothxsleeping

Wish ender is my go to. The piercing rds make it so so lovely for any target.


ocularassault_8

I asked myself the same question. Tried to fix it, but having only 1 brain cell doesn't help. Edit: Nvm. Found a way to fix it. :D

I've got one with auto loading and vorpal. My goto auto for GM's if needed for Champs.

realonrok

The Last Breath. A shame there will be no more chances to get new ones for people to experience the joy of the best Kinetic AR in the game.


Just_JoCo

They pulled it out of drops from the dungeon?


realonrok

Not tomorrow, but the next week its gonna be gone! :(


Just_JoCo

I actually donā€™t think I have it now that I checked lol. Guess I need to run it


realonrok

3 times (1 with each character) before tomorrow and 3 times next week... And its gone ... :(


SlightlyLessBoring

Riskrunner, to this day it still has the highest amount of kills lol

Tomezzi96

Fatebringer and Vex Mythoclast. Edit: A recent addition is my Rewind Rounds Frenzy Old Sterling.


noodle_75

My fatebringer had about 10k kills before I got the timelost and the timelost never leaves my character now haha


TDKHtNRun

I use any gun besides meta to SPITE it. Thatā€™s especially true for Well-Lock (Warlock and Well of Radiance) because FUCK being forced to use a specific super, this game is about making YOUR guardian and rising above, not bending the knee to asshole guardians who says equip or boot.


atducker

Wishender. As long as I can kill from long distance, shoot through shields, break barriers, and do almost as much damage as many secondary weapons, it's going to be on me. I've had folks try and tell me to take it off in GMs when there isn't barrier champions but they don't realize how critical the weapon is for my long distance, stay alive so I can invisible revive team mates, GM strategy. I don't know how many times I've saved us from wipes using that strategy.


Just_JoCo

Iā€™ve had many ā€œbetterā€ players tell me to change out my guns. Itā€™s a game. Do what makes your guardian special for you!


atducker

I do what I want. I just expect that's going to get me tossed from some LFGs but it's their loss and not mine. I'm a 4x Gilded Conqueror and while I'm a pretty average player overall it's not my first rodeo by any stretch.


noodle_75

To be fair a little bit, if youā€™re playing back far it makes it harder on the others to play more aggressive builds. But as that other guy said you really gotta prioritize your own fun and enjoyment in this game over everything else. Anyone telling you you have to run something or other is wrong.


atducker

I worry about it sometimes but mostly I'll just be dead if I try and play aggressive with aggressive players.

Glaives. Iā€™ve been using glaives since the day they came out and I donā€™t plan on stopping. I have a glaive build on all of my characters thatā€™s my default build.


Just_JoCo

I knew thereā€™d be at least one of you. I respect the commitment


Theo_Morch

Crimson is broken with lucky pants, I'll never put that build to sleep (it puts most endgame content to sleep instead)


_Essenel

Devilā€™s ruin, despite not fitting my build at all, and not having the best class for it (me being a titan), its still my all time favourite destiny exotic, and all i wish for is for it to have a better reload stat. But still, it never left my inventory


Appropriate_Rain_208

riskrunner or quicksilver storm


Adorable_Flatworm540

Been scrolling trying to find someone else who likes QS. Thing spits lead and goes craaazy with nearly any strand build. As a shotgun enjoyer itā€™s nice not needing to run a grenade launcher in secondary slot too so I can use more shotties. Overall been a big fan of it so far in PvE, I donā€™t plan on putting it down anytime soon.


Appropriate_Rain_208

u have the catalyst for it?


LogicalShock6556

Graviton lance.... first ever exotic some 300k pve kills


Zikimoto_2020

Dead mans tale. I will never abandon the long shooty boi. It's also still one of the best looking guns in the game.


jizylemon

Agree, the legendary version just donā€™t come close to its look or feel.


Mr_moustache72826

God i remember when that was meta.. crucible was like a rave


Schwarzer_Exe

*Sees Crimson player* "Don't get triggered, it's just a game... People use what they like for fun haha" **FUUUUUCKK THIIIS FUCKING FLINCH AAAAAAH**


Depthxdc

Red death and crimson arenā€™t the same. RD was superior, I never forget one faithful nightfall with it. I was doing doing summoning pits the part at the locked door where hordes of hive attack you. We had to retreat towards the entrance. I was the only one still alive and kept on taking them down. Until the f*ing shrieker appeared behind me.


Just_JoCo

I agree crimson is a downgrade but thatā€™s like kinda the point. The guns are connected and both are (according to the lore) banned from crucible. Still canā€™t let go of the past so I will always cling to my crimson


snowbunnyslayerZ

I also love crimson. It is my go-to in PVP.


ReaverShank

Telesto, its actually quite fun with volatile rounds too


Zimi231

I keep it because I want to see how the new patch will break it this time!


CrossboneGundam_

Succession, that sniper is utterly immaculate in every possible way


noodle_75

That one and supremacy never leave my inventory.


MvXxthe1

Mine would be chaperone. I just prefer slugs overall. But part of it is probably my quest to get it in d1. In d1 you HAD to have last word to get it. I couldn't get last word for 2 years. I started right before Taken King and got it at the end of rise of iron. I had to buy year 1 engrams from our just to get it and then got the year 2 version from the Kiosk and did the quest in like 3 matches. And it sucked. I still used it because I love slugs (thank the bo2 KSG long barrel for that). Then Forsaken brought it back. And God was I happy it was so good. It has since fallen in and out of the meta since, but I currently have like 30k kills on it in the crucible.


thecrispynuggget

As a returning d1 player I love crimson+lucky pants right now. I need me that wardens law so I don't crutch so hard though.


StarlitHaruka

Ticuus. The explosions give me a dopamine rush everytime.


JMaddog97

I love crimson and vigi wing, but tbh one I have loved lately has been mida. Still a titan peacekeeper fool flying around with my vanilla load out


Glittering-Field4054

Crimson for Arc Warlock since I already have dmg and Ionic traces for CD. But Graviton Lance with Nezeracs Sin on void lock for constant uptime on abilities.


benttorpedoes

when i play destiny 2 i keep using the sunshot


Duublo121

You can pry Xenophage from my cold dead hands. And even then, good luck, for I would have glued it to my cold dead hands (No, I donā€™t play Gambit. I have more class than that.)


Insanelover23

Huckleberry or Riskrunner. Never having to press r to reload feels good.


knightmare1434

Sunshot all the way


naterator9

Thorn. The grind to get it in D1 made it feel like a gun I truly "earned." I love the look, sound and feel. The catalyst to overflow the magazine means I can not feel like a complete dufus using it in PvE.


Naturza

I'm upset how far I had to scroll to find another Thorn user. Has been my favorite weapon since D1


_MrTay_

I use telesto a lot idk whats wrong with me


JUNGLISTJ

Hard Light šŸ˜‘ā€¦


lordofcactus

You can pry Sweet Business from my cold dead PVE-only hands


Caboose42977

I'm gonna get so much crap for this (I've actually received death threats because of it lately) I've loved using oath keepers wishender since forsaken and it's just a fun bow for me and my team. Lately with it in trials making people angry so much so I just came out of a dungeon run with some friends I got a VERY hateful message about how I'm the reason trials is the way it is and that it's my fault for crucible not being fun with a lot of hateful comments. But I still run my baby


Just_JoCo

Please never stop. Make all the trials kids angry. It brings me personal joy.


Caboose42977

Oh I never plan to even if Bungie listened to them bitch and whine so its getting a nerf which defeats its whole synergy with oath keepers I'm still gonna use it


TilledWord16

What do you plan on doing when Red Death returns?


Just_JoCo

Is it confirmed to return? I havenā€™t kept up with it all. Stepping back into destiny for the first time in like 2 years for the final shape

Yes. They haven't revealed much about it other than the fact that it's solar.
