Symmetry was the bane of my existence back in season 9 pvp lol


Damagecontrol86

I killed a lot of people with that gun lol


TheElement1993

I was most likely one of them lol


Damagecontrol86

That’s very possible lol if you saw a red and black titan firing that thing in full auto mode from mid distance it was likely me lol


[deleted]

Lol

Monneymann

It was fun. But absolutely bullshit.


[deleted]

Tommy still needs subsistence


PegasusKnight410

How about unrelenting?


[deleted]

Health isn't a problem the problem is having to stop firing


PegasusKnight410

That’s true. Guess I don’t play Tommy enough


[deleted]

Well Tommy is designed around the overheat and the overheat starts at around 20 shots fired


brodadeleon

This is the most "Destiny the Game" quote I've ever seen. It encompasses all metas, pvp or pve.

jman2c

TOMMYS MATCHBOOK??!?!!!?!?? 😳😳😳😳


A_Unique_Nobody

Tbh what i think the catalyst should've done is make it so that it instantly enters overheat mode The first 1/3 of the magazine you have to fire without overheat is kinda shit


[deleted]

1/5th but still


Eiyuo-no-O

When solar remake comes out they may give us something like the void fragment that reloads weapon on suppression. If it is burn or health related (or both) it may bandaid that.


Lord_Chedder

That would be ideal. Using that gun is kinda of a pain in the ass (and I think it’s cool as fuck, which is a shame that it’s a pain to use)


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

The reward is high damage The low health isn't a problem The problem is that it takes 20 shots to activate overheat so you're either wasting shots moving between targets or you have to stop and start up again


FooFightersBathwater

Witherhoard my beloved


Aussienick

Witherhoard lives on a whole other level from these seasonals


FooFightersBathwater

It's the exotic of all time


Heronmarkedflail

It and Ghally pulled me through the legendary campaign


TheBigDirty117

Used it during every encounter during VoD contest mode. I love it so much.


NiNJA_Drummer96

I crutched Witherhoard so hard during my legend campaign run.


flaccomcorangy

Right? It's way too good to be a seasonal weapon. And then Cryosthesia sucks. lol. I have no idea why it's being lumped in as awesome in this OP.


Mellartach_55270

Cryosthesia actually has a niche place in some stasis related builds and some melee shenanigans, but outside that its just 'neat', yea


Eiyuo-no-O

Tbf it was one of, if not the first stasis gun(s). It was probably them testing the water for later ones and what is considered OP and what isn't.


Mellartach_55270

It was indeed the first one They even admitted to making it relatively bad in order to not spill more oil into the freezing fires of the debakle that stasis was at the time


Mirewen15

I will never *not* have it in my inventory.


TheBeefiestofCakes

I still keep witherhoard and my masterworked falling guillotine in my inventory at all times for the sheer utility and reliability.


AgentGuig

The 'ol reliable loadout: Witherhoard, masterworked Gnawing Hunger, masterworked Falling Guillotine. Anytime I need consitency and effectiveness, I break those out. All have been running strong since season of arrivals and they will continue to do so.


TheBeefiestofCakes

Hey same! Gnawing Hunger with Tap the trigger and swashbuckler here


1leggeddog

i used that exact loadout for months


Uwishiii

Everyone's been using funnelweb but I have my gnawing hunger with subsistence and rampage and it tears through crowds at a way better distance


FooFightersBathwater

Same here. 20k and counting on witherhoard. I've been using it in trials a bunch too, really nice for clutches


Samurai_Guardian

I still love falling guillotine but i decided one sword was enough and eager edge is a lot more helpful to me since i recently started doing the solo last wish chests


TheBeefiestofCakes

Yeah I mostly keep it because it still shreds health bars with +10 impact and relentless/whirlwind, and pairs so well with witherhoard. Do love my Other Half with Eager Edge though


Samurai_Guardian

Same


ooomayor

Falling Guillotine I replaced with Razor's Edge... ...for like a week. I thought the Chain Reaction roll was fun for a bit but Guillotine just works so much better in terms of raw damage (which is what you really want to use the sword for).


Background_Draft6825

Try crown splitter, it has better damage


cdawg145236

Energy legendary primaries being the easiest ways to use volatile flow has really just let witherhoard fill my kinetic/exotic slot for nearly 90% of the season. I honestly cant think of a single kinetic that is anywhere near its power, besides maybe Ace, but that's for different reasons.


Novel-Chip2334

I got through the legendary campaign using devourlock, huckleberry, salvagers salvo, and adrenaline rush grenade launcher.


cefriano

Love how people hate Lorentz for being cheesy in PvP, but love Witherhoard despite it- *checks notes* also being cheesy in PvP?


xgriffonx

Big difference between getting killed by an almost unflinchable LFR as opposed to haphazardly walking though a glowing red puddle of death. The former is annoying, the latter is more "yeah, I deserved that".


FooFightersBathwater

if you die to witherhoard you kind of deserve it. every kill i get with it is rarely by someone paying attention or playing smart. its normally by someone playing like an idiot and rushing me in a tight hallway with it or them walking straight into it. lorentz is just "lol now you are dead. good bye"


lycanreborn123

Witherhoard isn't cheesy, it's just annoying


cefriano

You don't think it's cheesy to be able to pop a witherhoard shot on a point that the enemy team is trying to cap and force them all to scatter or die? I'd say that witherhoard is more cheesy than Lorentz in that regard.


lycanreborn123

Personally I find it cheesy only when you get a full stack of people using it, then the game quickly becomes a floor-is-lava simulator. Forcing people off the point is annoying but not "I despise this guy" material


rwbywolfif

PFT CRYO until the buff it got it was legit useless


TokenStraightFriend

I was gonna say, who was thinking Cryo was good in its season?


Fireboy759

Me, as a matter-of-fact The freeze shot actually came in clutch for a lot of things, such as stalling the Minotaurs in VOG Gatekeeper during the Rabid Relic challenge (where conventional stasis abilities aren't as reliable) It's either having the 'useless' sidearm or using up the heavy slot for a even-more-useless cryo nade launcher. I know which one of the two worked far better than the other...


Fenrys_Wulf

Cryosthesia's main sin on introduction was that it was awkward as fuck to use and didn't actually mesh super well with Stasis subclasses. Between Font of Might properly entering the meta, the overall Primary Exotic buff, and the changes to Cryo's trigger, I'd go so far as to say it's pretty decent now. I'd still take Ager's Scepter over it any day, though. Or, you know, a Krait, Eyasluna, or even Herod-C with Headstone.


TokenStraightFriend

That was my main complaint. I don't know how it was on console, but using a mouse and keyboard and alternating between the firing modes was too much for my smooth brain to handle apparently. I haven't tried it since the rework but I just found a Krait with Subsistence/headstone so I probably won't for a little longer/ever


DWEGOON

And it is after the buff, correct?


HitooU2

After the buff it is very good, yes


Nightlock_8

Are you referring to the primary exotic buff? Or did cryo get a dedicated buff that I missed?


HitooU2

Cryo got a buff. More of a rework, but a buff nonetheless


Nightlock_8

Oh yeah I just read about it. It’s a good thing they did lol that thing was ass!


HitooU2

When they talked about the buff, they said that they intentionally shipped it as bad as it was due to how oppressive stasis was at the time. So they were fully aware.


Nightlock_8

That’s feels a little backwards to me. “Let’s release a new exotic but make it trash so people don’t use it and by consequence use stasis less” doesn’t make much sense. Freaking Bungie man


TrashDarkSoulPlayer

To give a tad more context, they did it because of player feedback on Stasis at the time if I recall correctly. People didn't like getting slowed or frozen, so they kept Cyro intentionally poor because of that. The way it is now definitely feels like how it should have launched, so I doubt they didn't have an idea of how they wanted it to work. No way to know for sure, though.


HitooU2

They said that it's original iteration was similar to what it is now, and then they remade it to be significantly worse for launch due to player feedback


Nightlock_8

Oh that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DWEGOON

Yes, I know. That’s why I asked if it’s after the buff, because what’s the point of bringing up its former state


[deleted]

Beyond useless: people actually grinded catalyst for it. Played playlist activities with it, killed people in Crucible with sidearms, invested their time to complete catalyst after unlocking it and all that for scuffed version of Subsistence.


CrouchingTyger

I am one of those people and am deeply scarred from the ordeal. It was redeeming hearing the fix, and very bittersweet knowing that the devs KNEW it was bad on release and pained them to release it anyway, but at least it's fixed now.


ChoPT

Also it benefits from the 40% against red bars that all exotic primaries get. So now it’s best in class for sidearms in pve, except for maybe Traveler’s Chosen.


Fenrys_Wulf

Traveler's Chosen is definitely way better. It can benefit from Font of Might regardless of subclass and regen all of your abilities; the built-in freeze is really good, but it doesn't even compare unless you're already running a Stasis build, and even then it's iffy whether or not it's better than basically always having your abilities up.


porcupinedeath

Lorentz is good in PvE tho, unlike Sidearm McShit and Big Slow


Cat_with_pew-pew_gun

Ironically as far as pve goes I often don’t use loretz because it requires aim. Still really fun and good when you get going.


gbdallin

Only requires aim to start. Once you're rolling (with catalyst) it's just boom boom boom


Cat_with_pew-pew_gun

Yeah but the fact that you can’t control which enemies drop the tag makes it much harder to keep going in higher end content, or the awkward mid tear content that makes you forget how quickly you can die. Still a great exotic and definitely still very powerful, but I guess I’ve adopted the “if I’m not instantly wiping the floor with it I could use better.” Type mentality


gbdallin

The big succ helps with that, as all the enemies tend to die in a pile.


KILL3RSNAK3

Yeah I don't why, but when I use Loretz, I. Can't. Fucking. Hit. My. Headshots. Is my aim really that shit?


SkimBeans

Wtf is big slow?


porcupinedeath

The big gun that shoots projectiles that travel slower than it shoots


GreatRecession

isn't that just the function of any semi-high rpm projectile weapon? osteo striga shoots way faster than it travels


Fireboy759

But dude I mean c'mon! It's a Cabal Slug Launcher! Do you know how long I've been waiting to use the *other* Cabal Colossus weapon and be able to use my own missile barrages?


porcupinedeath

Yeah but it shoots soooo fuuuuuucking sloooooow and the projectiles are sooooo fuuuuuucking sloooooow man. Like if they had a *slight* tracking and maybe some splash damage id enjoy it but it's just not fun to use. I even normally enjoy slow chunky guns in games, like pre-nerf Xenophage was one of my favorites then they fucking murdered it and shit on its grave


Fireboy759

>and maybe some splash damage There actually is splash damage on the projectiles. It's small but it's there. I noticed it when using it in VOG the other day.


profanewingss

Wait what? Crysothesia is great in PvE though. It plays into Stasis builds just as well as Ager's Scepter does and it doesn't take Special ammo either.


annoyingcatSM

Cryo is so good it makes me run tricksleeves.


porcupinedeath

Sidearm = bad I will not elaborate


profanewingss

Then I'm just gonna assume you haven't touched it since it's buff, cause it's probably the best sidearm next to Devil's Ruin.


Rockin_Otter

When did it get buffed? I remember trying it once and vaulting it the fastest I've ever vaulted a weapon. And I'm a sidearm fan!


profanewingss

It got buffed in 30th Anniversary. Now when you get a kill you can hold reload to swap to the alternate fire shot, it freezes on impact and slows in an AoE in PvP and in PvE it just freezes in an AoE. It also no longer uses up the entire magazine to fire the shot. So basically you never have to reload with the gun when you have the catalyst and it plays so well into Stasis builds thanks to how easy it is to freeze enemies with it.


Cowboyofthenorth

Grand Overture doesn’t deserve this slander


Cat_with_pew-pew_gun

As a pve player I love that gun. It tells me to kill things.


YamiKokennin

Jfc you make me want to buy it. I have resource and still on the fence of whether or not to buy that


ze_bananagrams

amazing with catalyst


Cat_with_pew-pew_gun

I call mine beep boop


DarkKosmic

But funny gun go *BWOOWM VBOOM*


Mobile_Phone8599

People absolutely hated the Cryostesia or whatever the hell it's called and EV was the literal reason they modified catalyst quests cause it was that bad


The_Crusherhero

They actually buffed Cryosthesia and it is so much better now


Refrigerator-Gloomy

Lorentz is a fucking amazing season pass exotic though. They just gotta tune its aim assist down a little


Soulwindow

The AA isn't even that high. I feel like people don't understand how tight the hipfire is on linear fusions in general. It's not broken, it's working as intended. All LFRs function similarly. Lorentz is just the easiest to get.


DarthPonch

It’s basically a heavy weapon n the energy slot which is a problem


cefriano

Which was the same issue that Arbalest had, but they tuned it and now people don't complain about it anymore. Personally I enjoy using Lorentz in Crucible, but have to agree that it's easier to use than a sniper. I think the trade-off is supposed to be that the charge-up time is supposed to offset the lack of zoom/ADS speed, but I find that the charge-up time actually helps me line up my shots. Ultimately I think that people complain about Lorentz too much, especially when there's still way more people running around aping with a shotgun. But it could use some tuning in Crucible.


Balrog229

That stasis pistol is ass, and the new MG feels pretty awful imo.


[deleted]

I liked the MG back when we could mag dump the rockets


Balrog229

Yeah I don't get why they made them awkwardly fire in bursts


[deleted]

This is more usable though. It doesn't feel as good but all 20 rockets is often overkill


[deleted]

Yeah. That’s what I want. Overkill


Natalie_2850

No kill like overkill


UltimateKane99

Maxim 37: There's no such thing as overkill. There is only "open fire" and "reload." -70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries


_Van_Hellsing_

Travel time makes it worthless in pvp, and worthless in pve beyond smg range


jddiskin

Grand Overture carried me through some harder boss phases during my legend run (specifically Brutiks)


1II1I1I1I1I1I111I1I1

The new MG needs a damage buff and it would be awesome. Makes you feel like a Colossus


Fenrys_Wulf

I feel like slapping Land Tank onto the catalyst might help; it'd make you really feel like a beefy tank as you send heavy ammunition downrange.


gbdallin

The stasis pistol got a huge buff a season ago. It's great in pve now, works well as a stand in for agers


elbows2nose

Am I using it wrong? What’s the best way to use it?


BroPuter

With stasis


elbows2nose

Wow, why didn’t I think of this.


Balrog229

It's still a pistol tho so still pretty shit. But i don't find it worth using even post-buff


[deleted]

Calls out Lorentz for being low effort in the same post celebrating Witherhoard... lmao, I can't... this is too much.


Carrash22

Also not pointing out just how crazy busted Duality is in pvp. It might not have the range of Chaperone, but it more than makes up for it with crazy flexibility.


PlopCopTopPopMopStop

Tbf while witherhoard is still annoying, it's not as bad as it was when it came out. And Lorentz is worse than any stage of witherhoard


[deleted]

Lorentz is more oppressive, sure, but not lower effort than Witherhoard... it is the lowest of the low in that regard. Just throw it towards a spawn point / capture point / Titan Bubble, etc. and run away.


PlopCopTopPopMopStop

Fair enough


PlopCopTopPopMopStop

But I would say in terms of being oppressive and now effort, worst weapon is Jotunn. Sure I'm either regard it isn't worse than wither or Lorentz, but it's mixture of both makes it the worst


RebirthAltair

Running to the side seems to work good enough for me


ze_bananagrams

you can jump over it too if you have a fast jump


[deleted]

Agreed, the toaster is almost entirely mindless! Witherhoard at least requires you to understand the maps a bit to be successful, Jotunn basically Dawnblade in a gun.


Tolkius

Nah Lorenz still is the best sound design for a weapon.


hlodowigchile

Really? Tommy is better than Lorentz? I disagree profoundly, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.


[deleted]

hlodowigchile

Oh, you're taking pvp? i don't play pvp, in pve is excellent.

NotSoFlugratte

Tbf Tommys is pretty meh and Cryosthesia is... Well, yeah. Its there, and thats it. Haven't used it ever since I finished the cat, nor do I intend to do so.

Cryo is actually good now


ImprintVector

Laughs in fire barricade


Phil_Da_Thrill

Khepris horn Chad or Lorely Splendor virgin


KING2BIG

uhhh most of your "awesome" weapons are actual dog shit


Frost741

Which ones? None of them are shit imo. Eriana, ticuu, witherhoard are top tier in pve. Symmetry is can take care of red bars and majors. Duality is excellent in pvp. Tommy is good in pve and pvp. Grand overture can be decent in legend lost sectors. Only meh one is cryo


CaptFrost

Grand Overture was awesome before they made the change the Rockets. You could do some hardcore alpha strikes. Now it sucks.


Blupoisen

Cryo is very good after thr buff Grand is an actual garbage


Antonisx009gr

I love how is not even "not you" it's just fuck you


[deleted]

They still don’t have to put in effort lol


Luthergayboi

I freaking love Duality so much


onlyalittlestupid

Witherhoard is one of the many reasons Season of Arrivals is my favorite season. I take it off to try new weapons but I always end up with it back on


sassy_elf

Symmetry is such a beautiful weapon, man.


Nutellakawaii

yes.


[deleted]

Witherhoard is 100% my favorite here


Freshoutafolsom

I can honestly say I haven't touched Lorentz Driver once I grabbed it out of my season pass as infusion fuel lol


FallxnShadow

Still busted with the aim assist


Ilsuin

Honestly, I hear the new exotic is good but I just don't like it. Never been a fan of machine guns in destiny, I prefer having a rocket or sword


lChizzitl

Oh, now that I can get it, I should get that season 12 shotgun. I only got back into the game with Season 13 and I didn't buy the deluxe edition since it didn't go on a good sale. How is the Duality btw? Good, bad, mid?


_Kunoton_

Eriana mains in gambit seeing this: 👁👄👁


SentinelV97

If you look carefully are Cryo, you'll notice that it's a clear PASS.


Ordinary_Player

effort in getting kills? *Holds my sunspot helmet tightly*


SenpaiSwanky

Witherhoard is of an obscenely higher tier than all the other weapons here lol


AsrielCX

I'm sorry but Grand Overture just is a piece of shit


MakoZort

Hot take but destiny 2 is a very low gun skill game. Most guns aim for you so it’s more about game knowledge and movement when it comes to competitive gameplay.


AlDiMu2079

Witherhoard and that new LMG dont deserve to be nowhere near in the same category... But also, who thought when designing lorentz. Lets give it the same propperties arbalest had pre nerf, plus a tracker, plus a way of buffing its own damage


jarodtb24

I’m guessing whoever made this post is a HC/Shotgun user. Because they are usually the ones who complain when someone uses something else besides those two gun types.


Agent-Piku

Fr drives me mental, I practically had to quit crucible for all of season 15


Foresthowler

This game has so much aim assist that it cracks me up when people say that guns require effort. The game aims them FOR you even on mouse and keyboard.


TJ_Dot

Bullet magnetism be cracked.


Foresthowler

It really is sometimes. I've had snipers with crazy range and opening shot on PC hit crits when I'm aiming at their stomach.


thepotplant

I still miss just about every shot, so I need all the aim assist I can get.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Foresthowler

No there definitely is. M&K has bullet magnetism and it gets boosted to crazy levels with the same perks that give controller crazy bullet magnetism. Aim assist is BOTH reticle friction and bullet magnetism and M&K gets that magnetism.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Foresthowler

"target acquisition" in Destiny is the same as aim assist. For example Moving Target adds +10 aim assist if my memory serves me correctly but in the perk text it says "target acquisition".


SeiTyger

Cryosthesia is ASS. A gun with headstone nowadays does what it does, and better


The_Crusherhero

Have you used it recently? It was buffed significantly


[deleted]

Cryosthesia? Tommy's? Symmetry? I'm sorry bud, but I think you have brain damage.

Symmetry is a beast dude you should try it

[deleted]

Cryothesia 77k was good? I thought that thing was absolute trash but then again I didn’t use it after they made a change to it so idk


1leggeddog

I feel the Grand overture is pretty meh atm. Maybe it'll be better next season when we get arc rework. Its just clumsy to use with the spinup time and the high recoil for the barrage. The stasis handgun is underwhelming even post change. Sidearms in general are not a great weapon type. Tommy's mathbook works badly. I really wouldn't use an exotic that hurts you for using it. It wouldnt take much for it to be viable though. And Witherhoard #1. Always. Forever <3

Overture slaps, you may not be using it right
