Tell me about your favorite weapon...

Positive Outlook

...that weapon that you love to death and would use no matter how good it is. The weapon that you’ve got thousands of kills on, the weapon that you made you build around, the weapon that was with you from ghaul’s defeat to now. Mine is Skyburner’s Oath, my first random exotic drop and the weapon I pull out whenever i’m feeling bored of the meta. What’s yours?

IKELOS smg

OMG YES.

Seraph rounds, grave robber, and demolitionist on mine. Absolutely my favorite energy weapon and i base most of my build and play style around it. It hasn't left my inventory since i found it 😁

I use the same roll, totally slept on perk combo. Need to reload, throw a nade or hit something. Boom, back to damage and warmind cells

Unblestdrix•

If you main titan try using bottom tree arc and Synthoceps. ANNIHILATE any red bar afer a single kill. A 1-2 punch shotty will let you take down most yellow bars and bosses in just a couple strikes.

Night watch - I’ve always loved scouts but something about just makes me grin

diamondpythonOP•

I picked up an outlaw demolitionist night watch for gms last season and I’ve been loving it.

Overflow explosive is a bit better

2
Soy_El_Kraken•

Rapid hit with the choice of rampage for PvE or explosive for PvP is mine and I love it.

1
Dum-_-•

Its mostly for highest tier engame pve due to its versatility, but regular pve you can use anything

Outbreak. It's not the best gun, but I have so many memories of doing zero hour carries and I made so many freinds through the mission that it's my favorite.

17

If I only had the cat, I might feel the same. I had to buy mine from the kiosk.

Elkiasi•

My Gnawing Hunger. Auto load and Swashbuckler. It was the first gun I masterworked, over 15k kills with it. Recently got an auto load/demolitionist but I just cant part with my first...

17
7ejk•

I got a subsistence-demolitionist back in arrivals that I’ve racked up more than 50k kills on.

7

Ah another Hunger-ist. I have several, and several masterworked. But I only have three or four that are god rolls. I farmed umbrals a lot back then and got the best, only the best have I kept. It's a solid performer.

4

Does swashbuckler timer reset by the time auto loading kicks in? At face value that perk combo seems almost counter intuitive. Would love to hear why it’s so good in your mind!

That said, love my subsistence rampage gnawing hunger. In general a very smooth feeling auto

2
Elkiasi•

I have a reload MW so it reloads pretty quickly. I dont even know if swash stays up on reload. I just like using auto loading so its always prepared to mow stuff down. Tbh its probably far from optimized but Im sentimental about it haha

Toukotai•

Jotunn. It's been in my inventory since I got it during season of the forge.

14
voltlunok•

There is nothing more fun than spreading the good word of toast one flaming fireball of death at a time.

8
Toukotai•

gets 'em every time

3

the Fighting Lion cultists would heartily disagree with you :) They even have a. Jotunn "hate" thread (not really hate, it's all in good fun) about that thing.

Personally, I love it, although I haven't used it as much as you have.

1
GrahminRadarin•

Yes absolutely.

1
XxdatboixXx•

Malfeasance. It just makes you feel like a badass. I use it whenever I can.

13
diamondpythonOP•

nothing makes you feel better than hearing those five explosions

I dearly need to complete that quest! I've had it in there forEVER.... and I want the gun. Gambit time for me this season!

3
XxdatboixXx•

Oh believe me, I had it for nearly my entire time playing. (Since SoD)

I only had finished it last season. Those last two steps are really hard to do. Mostly bc I'm bad at invading.

2

That's my next barrier. I need friends who are ace invaders to help with that step. The only good tool I have for that is Truth (which aint bad). I have a couple friends with EoT so maybe I can talk them into helping me out. I'm that close to the Dredgen seal... It's the only thing left, get Malfeasance.

1
flaming_jazzfire•

Riskrunner. It’s not even special when being attacked by not-arc damage but it is so much fun to use.

Also, Eriana’s vow. I usually go into (lower level) cabal NFs with it as my exotic because it is a lot of fun.

12

Heck I've used it in GMs and I think it's great there as well with a hand cannon build.

2

Telesto

It's just better than all the resto

Goddamn right

It's totally obvi-esto!

Jon_McL•

I will love tractor cannon unconditionally. The sound, the feel, the massive destruction, everything about it works so well.

11

I'm still working the cat for that When I got it, I didn't understand it. Now I understand it, and want the cat completed! Boof!

Rat King. Ever since melting vorgeth in shattered throne back in forksaken with rat kings, well, and lunafactions, I have fallen in love with this funky little sidearm. It’s also what brought me and my two best friends together and formed our little rat pack. It’s great in pve because of the invis, especially since I play warlock and don’t naturally have an invis source. The catalyst makes it even better. And then I find that it shreds in pvp too. Overall best gun 10/10 would recommend.

10
diamondpythonOP•

I have a clanmate who is obsessed with rat king, to the point where he’s used it in raids and competitive. surprisingly, it worked both times and actually did pretty well.

3
wondrousechelon•

I see you’re clanmate is a fellow rat of culture, then. I too have used rat king in competitive to great success. First and only time I dragged my friends into trials (back in season of dawn) I used rat king and a bow (and nova warp but that’s not relevant). And you know what? We were one win away from going flawless. Rat king carries.

All I can say is r/squeaksqueak :)

Cleanitupjohny•

Huckleberry go brrr long time. And I feel like the overload for SMG work a little better this season? Could be in my head

9
Feralig80r•

Literally, clearing ads in gambit is a breeze. I pair it with a fusion rifle for challenging enemies and badoom you're done

3
Cleanitupjohny•

It feels like cheating with the catalyst. I throw and autoloading sniper on and go for it

3
Feralig80r•

Yeah, I'm useless invading so ads is for me haha, it's just kill after kill after kill

2
bren6295•

Huckleberry. Never. Gets. Old.

2

Mine has 22k kills. It's basically Recluse's crazy ass uncle and I used it over Recluse even before Recluse was nerfed and eventually sunset.

zazzke•

Fighting Lion, full stop

diamondpythonOP•
10

OMG of COURSE Fighting Lion! It's always part of my inventory, if not in that secondary slot. It's a beautiful weapon. When I'm in my FL "rhythm" I'm the deadliest one in the group.

Thot Destroyer

Soy_El_Kraken•

Dank shit homie

CloudEvok•

Worlds end, and when yours does you need a partner you can rely on. Trust.

8
aevana•

I miss it so bad dude. I'm waiting on the day that it or another 180 with explosive payload becomes endgame viable again.

2
CloudEvok•

Not only was the gun a pleasure to use, it was aesthetically the most beautiful weapon I have ever seen in Destiny.

4

RIP Trust. But I will say Hawkmoon has a very appealing presence.

2
GrahminRadarin•

Okay, now I really want one. Is it still available in any way?

1
cathulhu319•

I think I still have my masterworked one with Outlaw and Rampage still in my vault. Miss it every day.

2
bren6295•

Oh man, what a special few seasons those were. I’ll never dismantle mine.

The Last Word

voltlunok•

Redrix's Broadsword. It was such a fun gun that focused on precision, rewarded precision, and took time to master. But once I did, I felt unstoppable once Desperado kicked in. Even though it's sunset, I still have mine in my vault and it'll never leave. I'm also so happy that the spirit of Redrix lives on in The Messenger and I'm so happy I have one with Desperado.

6
diamondpythonOP•

Still chasing that desperado Messenger roll. May rngesus favor me...

2
Lashknight•

Cerebrus +1. So much fun to fill a room full or lead or shock the hell out of a guardian. The catalyst is pretty fun as well. Rapid fire shotgun....yes please.

6

Cerberus is a great gun. I played it a LOT when I got it, and the cat. It's been on the back burner for me lately but not because it's not fun to use!

1
Idle-Night•

Back in D1 i was a die-hard monte carlo stan, i still quite like it but my favorite exotic is probably malfeasance, i love how it handles and the red string of faith ornament is so awesome!

For normal favorite guns, the shotgun from the GoS raid (forgot the name) has been my go-to shotgun since I got it

5
diamondpythonOP•

That would be Prophet of Doom. I love that thing too, it just sounds so clean.

5
CinnamonMan25•

I've still never really used it. But Red String of Fate is hands down the best ornament in the game. It's incredible

2
terrarian136•

Salvager's salvo. I can't even explain it, it's just so fun

5
MoonKnight_gc•

In D1, I loved Bad JuJu. I used it to get my first ever Lighthouse

In D2, is definitely Crimson. It's the first exotic that I got from D2 and said "This is good", and have been using it since CoO

4
-alkymyst-•

Polaris Lance, easily. Something just feels so good about it, and I like the sort of minigame of precision hits and explosions. Also, it can absolutely wreck champions better than almost any primary, so much fun.

4
Swartz55•

I'm thinking that'll be the next one I pick up from the kiosk
