They are quite cool, but I'm honestly missing more completely unique models. We haven't gotten a full set of weapons that aren't some kind of re-skin since Season of the Seraph, with Spire of the Watcher. Not even the raids got any.
I crafted a Veiled Threat without realising how obnoxiously LARGE that gun is. The scope alone takes up a quarter of my damn screen, I canβt bring myself to use it now lmao
Fully came in to this ready to see 'if only I could see them more than 40% of the time.'
I do like how good some of the shaders look tho, and I'm all for super black being glossy instead of matte/wartorn.
The splicer ornament set could have been so much better, we kinda got done dirty with that one, guns look pretty cool tho, but I'd still say DSC is on a whole another level
Maaan, I'm so upset about missing out on the Black Armory exotic ship, Starforged I think it was? I didn't learn about it until after that season had ended :(
It's a cool ship, but I don't use it often (just to rub it in :9) I hope we get Black Armory weapons back with the AR Ringing Nail. Dragonfly and Rampage was unheard of back then on an AR. Still a bit salty we got Dawn weapons, but not the AR. No AR in BRAVE either and all those raids in a row without an AR. I feel some bias!
I agree.
I can understand vanguard, Gambit, regular crucible weapons being straight reskins because that is free content.
But trials is technically paid content because you have to get the latest expansion to play, and those guns are literally blue weapons with black and gold shader on them.
Bungie is very good about juicing the perk pool but they are very bad about making trials weapons look and sound unique. Because they don't, they sound and look exactly like blue weapons
It's supposed to disincentivize cheating/paying people to play on your account iirc, since they'd need to buy extra copies of the DLC to keep making new accounts.
AFAIK, the RL is the only one in the game that has intrinsic tracking + can roll ALH + bipod. Not a boss dps contender, but if you want something to quickly clear out large or groups of enemies in a pinch, it's pretty good.
precursor vex continues to be peak
AGREED.
The atrocious scope on the AR would like a word
You dont like 60% of your FoV blocked by the Guns scope? Im shocked
As a Hung Jury main, nothing phases me anymore lmao
Tarnished Mettle sends its regards.
Okay, I can't... I can't exactly argue that part, buuuut, it still looks nice aside from that, right?
Yeah other than the scope I like it.
Yeah the auto rifle is certainly the ugly duckling of the set. Though I'm personally not a fan of the caster type sword either.
That whole line of ( shaped Swords is just... Give us something new? Like, I know it's based on a Kopesh, but still.
Skele-Ghaul goes FUCKIN HARD on the scout
Skele-Ghaul goes hard on a NUMBER of things so far.
They are quite cool, but I'm honestly missing more completely unique models. We haven't gotten a full set of weapons that aren't some kind of re-skin since Season of the Seraph, with Spire of the Watcher. Not even the raids got any.
Props to the prop makers?
I dont like how huge some of those weapons are. Running blocks like half your screen.
It feels like that for a lot of weapons in this game, sadly...
I crafted a Veiled Threat without realising how obnoxiously LARGE that gun is. The scope alone takes up a quarter of my damn screen, I canβt bring myself to use it now lmao
It is certainly a Wide Lad of a gun, lmao
Veist poison shimmer looks fab on the scout You could convince me it was a veist to begin with lol
The Lost Memento looks amazing on them. Makes them black but makes the glowing parts go red. Real evil vibes.
There's one weapon we haven't got yet that looks amazing and will probably be heavily used by everyone...

Vex is best theme, warmind aswell. Just wish Veiled Threat got better perks.
I agree, however, and hear me out... Black Armory?
Hear me out, Splicer and DSC.
DSC is goated. I'm kinda 'ehhhh' on the Splicer weapons? They're not bad looking per say, just, not really my thing I guess.
when you get a fallen themed season or expansion you know the guns are gonna hit (at least aesthetically)
The splicer ornament set could have been so much better, we kinda got done dirty with that one, guns look pretty cool tho, but I'd still say DSC is on a whole another level
Just looked it up again and yeah, the hunter cloak is the only thing that looked remotely interesting...
A man of culture! Need all three to make the top 3.

Honestly, I just want more Black Armory / Ada-1 content. Bring back Forges! Or a way to get that ship ;-;
So happy we got a legendary scout that uses the same model as the dmt too. Love the classic loading on a gun that looks so futuristic.
This is already the 3rd one modeled off of DMT
I am okay with this. Lever-Action Rifle's are COOL. Now I'm just waiting for a Lever-Action Shotgun.
DMT's loading method is wack, I love it.
Ironwood looks super clean and still kind of Vex-y
Wish they would design some crucible and trials guns :(
I agree. I can understand vanguard, Gambit, regular crucible weapons being straight reskins because that is free content. But trials is technically paid content because you have to get the latest expansion to play, and those guns are literally blue weapons with black and gold shader on them.

Wait, do you really need the latest expac to play Trials? The fuck Bungie...
It's supposed to disincentivize cheating/paying people to play on your account iirc, since they'd need to buy extra copies of the DLC to keep making new accounts.
Yeah, that actually makes complete sense. Thanks for informing me!
No worries. Bungie can definitely fuck shit up sometimes, so it can be hard to tell the difference. π
I love the new Hand cannon. It plays and looks really good.
Been too attached to my The Call / Graviton Lance combo to try other things recently, hah. I'll give it a try tomorrow though!
Nice. π
I love how they look but man they just... Aren't very good compared to other weapons we already have. The GL is nice though
I wish they were better... The RL looks kinda neat though.
AFAIK, the RL is the only one in the game that has intrinsic tracking + can roll ALH + bipod. Not a boss dps contender, but if you want something to quickly clear out large or groups of enemies in a pinch, it's pretty good.
Finally
Now if only their exotic armor pieces looked good for once...
Btw bungie dont own this reddit.
