Had a few comments saying there was some graphical issues with the video (static, frame drops etc.) I recently got a new PC so some of my export setting were a bit wack, my apologies
Little secret I've been using in day 1 raiding, Lucky Pants and Malfeaces. That's right, when you find yourself no special no heavy trying to finish last stand. And to be honest it has & still tops as a top DPS option in PvE.
Great video, you need to add the Centrifuse auto rilfe to this. It has a chain lightning effect, great for add clearing. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Another note: Quicksilver Storm does not fire arc rockets anymore. the rockets now match the gun's damage element type, so it's either kinetic rockets (w/o catalyst) or strand rockets (w/ catalyst)
It also got a nice 25% damage buff which applies to the grenades. I like it because it's like having a free 4th weapon, while limited it feels great against champions after suspending them. Currently running one two punch shotgun and a machine gun with Osmosis. I like suspending champs and then hitting them with that nice shotgun melee combo for fast kills. And the machine gun osmosis is nice for as clear and proccing tangles. Far from Meta, but a fun playstyle that I've found works well for me.
@penileymajorey7174 Yeah the damage is great but in my experience it's tough to get the hit off at close range I honestly lost count how meny times I had fired it at cabal at close range and it was like it never hit them which still confuses me still
@penileymajorey7174 that is likely because it is a primary exotic. They have a higher damage buff then specials. Also I'm pretty sure the granade does the same damage as you would normally do with a whole magazine without the micro rockets
Cerberus was my first exotic when I started the game in beyond light so I used it a lot and it holds a special place in my heart.. but I can’t deny how bad it is lol.
I legit used it for a couple of Legend Lost Sectors that were up close and personal... so i could use the shotgun mode for fucking up stunned champions. It actually worked pretty well. It too holds a special place for me, though yes, it is garbage. It has a nice ornament at least. In fact i think the ornament from an EV package was why i was using it in the LLS to begin with xD
Only thing that really beats Osteo is Arbalist when you have to worry about barriers more then dps. We have so many amazing SMGs in the energy slot it's a no brainer to use one of them instead when barriers and shields are a major pain.
Agree. But for me it is Striga 99pct of the time. If I need longer range, add a Trace. Mega add clear, wave frame. Back up dps for a boss, sniper or fusion.
@@adamwilliams8128 Not everyone has the catalyst unlocked, it wont show a catalyst description if you don’t have the catalyst unlocked, it only shows how to get it
they also increased the Noble Rounds count from 5 to 6 with Season of the Deep, so 3 kills does fill up your noble rounds ocunt without needing to waste a round first
3:25 the lucky pants rework came out the same season that particle deconstruction did, so for most pve it actually broke the game because you could use Cartesian coordinate with vorpal, PD, and void tether to get a huge burst of dps, then could swap either crimson or malfeasance with lucky pants to basically one cycle almost any boss in the game outside of raids and GMs. So yes, there was a time where pants was an actual average hunter meta build
I still use it now. I usually top 3 dps even in "meta" teams. The only disadvantage is running with cheese warlocks they get all the damage with no effort 👀. But yeah 500k minimum in 5 seconds is pretty good I say. Switch to a heavy then go back after the cool down. Makes my damage go a long way. Dump all 9 of my explosive light hot head and usually about 3 rotations of lucky pants and the boss is dead.
@@F0XHunter I've actually been using it with a explosive payload bottom dollar with volatile rounds, paired with witherhoarde or osteo striga I literally have trouble dying because of how much ad clear and dps I have
@@mikopoot1486why explosive payload? The damage boost from lucky pants doesn’t increase the damage from the explosive so you’re losing half you’re damage
@@natetollett5515 1. It's my only roll and I refuse to play gambit 2. It's got subsistence so I mainly use it to for red and yellow bars. plus it isn't my raid/master load out, mainly just a load out have fun with. Most of my dps comes from tether and grand overture anyways 3. I like making things go boom
Final Warning is great IMO. Fully charged bursts while aiming down sights do really good damage when you land crits and that's not difficult to do when you can suspend enemies constantly with a good strand build. It's also a good close range anti-barrier weapon with anti-barrier sidearm.
Remarkably good add clear as well with constant unraveled projectiles going for other enemies, and with the season artifact the tangles you spawn can damage and suspend a lot of enemies if you shoot it. Only downside I'd give it is that you have to be relatively close to get the target lock. Not super close, but can be a problem for certain bosses.
Also clutch for things like Wyverns. Do the charged body shots until they open up their weak spot then delete it. Such a strong side arm its stupid, not boss damage meta but champions/elites get melted pretty consistently
Funny thing about quicksilver is that the grenade mode ignores damage reduction on certain enemies/objects. Threshers/taken orb things normally take way less damage than normal enemies, but the quicksilver grenades do their full damage. They one shot taken orbs and almost kill a nightfall difficulty thresher with three grenades.
as i said - he has no idea how to use quicksilver and he gives it rank A... omg... noobish striga has rank s+? same witherhoard... useless at GM, useful only in raids but not must have... my ass is on fire when i see ranking videos from guys who don't know how to use weapons at all, cos he normally use everything recommended from utube guides.
@@kossailor3207 I feel that. I tried witherhoard and osteo in harder content and it feels like they fall off unless you're using them for specific purposes, while Quicksilver now that it's been buffed feels like having a 4th weapon with the grenades. A couple grenades can take down a suspended overload champ, while a suspended unstoppable can be quickly death with by using a one two punch shotgun and a melee in like 2-3 rotations. I'm still newish and learning after 300 hours, but I do prefer techniques that can be done easier without having to be incredibly skilled like the people that will Grapple, one two punch, and then melee before touching the ground.
@@hyperactivetendencies7054 yeah bro! Exactly what i mean! It is like u have regular ammo strand GL with the damage higher than heavy ones... I use it all the time

They reverted that this season though.... It's fucking hard to keep track it's had so many goddamn nerfs and buffs and nerfs and buffs again that it's impossible to remember. I'mma just stick with my Full Bore, Accurized, Wellspring, Explosive equipped Long Arm and call it good. Also have a Rapid Hit Redirection roll which is kind of interesting... still not sure how i feel about Redirection... Kinda great in some fights, kinda shit in others.
So thing to note. While the wording on Cranial Spike doesnt state that it increases damage anymore it still does in PVE specifically but not in PVP. In your clips of Glassway there are multiple instances where you can see that the damage is clearly going up after each precision hit.
as long as you do not follow the ranks, it's helpful, yes. Someone ranking a weapon and claiming he doesn't know how it even works shouldn't give you wrong impressions :D
@@D4ngrs Yeah, what I mean is it is at least a way for someone new to see the weapons in action and hear a bit about them, even if it is biased it's still good info. Like, "do I really want to go to do X raid or dungeon", just to get a weapon that I end up not liking for one reason or another. I look at them more like a showcase, and that is great imho
@@Spectre115 yes that's what I meant, for final warning he said he doesn't even know how it works. It's never B tier, for a primary weapon and a sidearm it's damage output is massive if using ADS and shooting crit spot.
Final Warning is one of my go to for high end content. Its damage when you are tracking an enemy is really good. I don't use the aim bot much on it though.
@@rickydhilon7889 its a good weapon really. The drawback is you have to really be at point blank range to land all those crits, which is a huge tradeoff imho.
Best video! You explaining what every weapon does and a funfactor in bonus plus your opinion makes it easy to grasp how good/bad or fun a weapon is. Helps since I'm a returning player and I am completely lost with all the weapons added through the years.
this is going to be a bit of a reddit moment but: Monte carlo (the name of the weapon) is named after the metropolis monte carlo theorem (a technique for statistical distribution) which is named after a casino in Monte Carlo (the place). I only say this because the exotic trait: Markov Chain is the dead giveaway - which is one one of the subtechniques used within Monte Carlo techniques.
Final Warning definitely deserves better than B tier. It's got insanely good single target damage when you lock on and crit someone while aiming down sights, and in RoN you can take out both tormentor shoulders with just 1 mag. It's honestly one of the best primary exotics in the game imo because it's got good ad clear capabilities (locking on and hipfiring into a crowd just shreds through the enemies, especially with the unraveling you get with a full charged shot), it's got good single target damage (the critical hit damage bonus from ADSing is absolutely insane), I highly recommend using this for anti-barrier or even just as a regular primary weapon that you can use to burst through majors and champions easily. Side Note: I know this is most likely a joke, but if you have over 1k kills with Final Warning and you don't get that "hipfire while locked on = tracking rounds and more body shot dmg, ADS while locked on = faster bullets and hella extra crit dmg", that's a genuine skill issue. The gun's not complicated, you just mark targets by holding down the trigger, the longer you hold down the trigger the more rounds you shoot off in a burst (max of 10), a maximum burst of 10 rounds will unravel marked targets, and you can choose whether to hipfire or aim when firing in order to either get tracking rounds that do more dmg to the body or get faster rounds that deal hella extra dmg to crit spots.
I absolutely love the gun, even if I haven't used it too much recently. Its incredibly fun, and as you said, even does really good single target damage on top of the excellent add clear potential. Actually haven't tried it with the new Whirling Maelstrom Hunter, but your comment has put the idea in my head to give it another chance when I get on later 👍🏻
I feel like the majority of the list is in a really good place, but the fact that Quicksilver isn't competing at the top of S+ tier is kind of insane to me. I'd also say that Wish Ender should be thete with ut, and Final Warning is vastly underrated by the entire community, especialky in synergy with the amazing Strand builds in the game
i just found you today and already subbed, love to see a hunter main in pve, everyone else seems to be a starfire warlock or a hammer thundercrash titan
as much as I appreciate you doing the work to put this video together, it doesn't seem to have any particular order and there are no time markers making it pretty difficult to specifically find what weapon I want to see your ranking of.
The reason to use Wish Ender over Arb is, wish ender counts as 3 arrows hitting per shot aka 3x the amount of super from damage and 3x the amount of damage ticks for things like fusion nades/strand damage giving grenade back etc. Wish Ender is the best primary in the game for high end content and its not even close. One shots most red bars 3-4 shots elites and the super gen from shooting champs is unmatched. Also you can run a wave frame/blinding gl with it. If I haven't sold you yet, Witherhoard makes it do more damage so I'm sure you have a warlock running one on your team. Witherhoard turns things into taken and it does bonus damage to taken.
Was literally just about to write this. Even though Bungie have nerfed it a little by stopping the 3x damage, you still get insane amounts of super energy, and still deal with barrier champs like they're not even there.
Quicksilver rockets are not arc anymore. They changed this before Lightfall as mentioned in a previous TWAB because it'd "mess with the upcoming catalyst."
Osteo Striga is the single BEST exotic. PvP - Works PvE - WORKS PvE w/ Necrotic Grips - W O R K S Pve w/ Necrotic Grips and Weavers Trance - very functional
True although I would have elevated Quicksilver to an S+ tier just as easy on account of pvp ttk and the insane burst you can go with the 3 really easy to build up grenades. Many users do not know you can fire those 3 nades in rapid succession if you hold the fire button and spam the reload button. In average content I think it is a 150k burst which is just nice on a champion, yellow bar, boss or chunky addpacks
I just, I loved the part i was listening about monte carlo and the music from the fungal wastes from hollow kick in, that made me smile, and your tier list is very interesting!
A little side note to help with the sudden drop in frames where it starts getting static. Export with a higher Max Bitrate. I find around 200 to be good and the minimum around 150.
I would consider Whitherhoard the best in the game if had had like Unstoppable or Overload built in. Right now, as much as I love it, Arby is my go to Exotic Kinetic Special weapon.
@@chrisbarnesbarnes8332 but consider this: I prefer the feel of hand cannons to anything that's automatic. Osteo may be objectively better, but Thorn is just more satisfying for me. Anyways I use Sunshot now cuz ads go boom lol
Some notes about quicksilver. The grenades do insanely high damage vs any "construct" type object. Barricades, tether anchors, the sword of a well of radiance, oracles in VOG, stasis crystals, even a sentinel's bubble. I have a hunch that if quicksilver could hold anymore than 3 grenades, it could pop a bubble by itself. Cause with 3 it gets reeeeeally close. Also kills with the tangles created by quicksilver's perk count as kills for the gun itself. Which is a cool bit of new functionality for it.
As a slightly above average player, I completely agree Not because the placement feels right, but because I’m not gonna go and make my own tier list any time soon xD
Monte Carlo is probably named after Monte Carlo Methods/Experiments. It has to do with randomized datasets/experiments, and is probably for the randomized path towards a full melee charge. Still weird, but not AS weird.
The recent buff to the Zen Moment perk made Jade Rabbit actually kinda annoying to fight against in PvP. I don't think it's anything game-breaking, but honestly I do think because of that buff it's higher than C right now. Maybe like a high B.
Conditional finality can infinitely freeze champions, just reload after the stasis shot and melee very useful especially for anti barriers and arc hunter.
After getting close to mastering Cerberus +1, I hate this. Cerberus +1 is such a good gun that just needs a little buff for it to be absolutely amazing. The Cerberus +1 has a consistent pellet spread that rotates clockwise, the Cerberus's average ttk at 20m is around .6 and .7. And up close you can get a .3 or down to a .17ttk.
A note about Lumina's Damage buff. It is not the highest. Banner Shield from Sentinel Titan provides a 40% damage buff. However, it's even weirder because it multiplies at the end of the equation, meaning it can multiply a higher base damage value.
mhm... use his S+ ranks in master or grand master and repeat ur words... he gives rank S+ to the guns which should be used just for fun, only in easy activities
Quicksilver does NOT shoot arc rockets anymore. That was a bug when it came otu and was "fixed" a few weeks after it came out :D Also, Final Warning defenitely is worth it. The precision damage it deals is insane. I've done the legendary campaign with it on both of my other chars with ease. I sometimes even use it for DPS and I'm not in the loer part of DPS in my team... it can be insane if used correctly + easy addclear. It can also help in legend LS where you can just "lock on" an enemie and hide behind a wall but still shoot around the corner. Also it has anti barrier this season. It's S tier, or A tier at worst, but not B tier for sure
I got like 5000 kills on Quicksilver-Storm, so I think with that miniscule bit of practice i had with the weapon, I believe I'm pretty decent with it now.
I don't really see why using Arby over Wish is better even in high end content elemental shields are pretty easy to deal with and Wish Ender also breaks those pretty much instantly and thanks to the nerf Bungie gave Arby a while ago it deals about 10% more damage per a shot against champions than Arby combine this with infinite ammo, higher range, and like 90% less flinch and it just makes it the better choice. Edit: Btw the Final Warning gets a 100% buff on both body and precision, creates tangles if charged even slightly, and has a 30% chance per a shot to unravel a target when charged even slightly the dps on this thing is pretty insane enough to beat out some special weapons and is great for champions
On top of what you said, Wish Ender also gives you a ton of extra super energy and has great synergy with lots of subclasses. If they ever give it even just a half-decent catalyst, it could be one of the top 5 exotic weapons in the game. Also, being able to run any of the awesome new elemental Fusion Rifles that have been introduced into the game, alongside the incredible GL options, means that it is a better option for an overpowered loadout 👍🏻 Also, I'm a huge fan of Final Warning. It's massively underrated and even though I haven't tried it with Maelstrom, I'm going to this afternoon and can't wait to have a lot of fun with the combo 👍🏻.
Will say Rat King arguably crawls it's way into B tier with its catalyst. Kinda makes it like crimson but slower and with invis. Really pairs well with me being the invis monkey that has to rez everyone BC my friends are titans and don't understand what cover is.

Best video! You explaining what every weapon does and a funfactor in bonus plus your opinion makes it easy to grasp how good/bad or fun a weapon is. Helps since I'm a returning player and I am completely lost with all the weapons added through the years.
fun fact lucky pants is actually good for dps on certain bosses
with the right hand cannon of course
conditional is on another level, it can stun unstop, add clear is on point, and the damage is really good for a special
conditional finality is "shaq uses IcyHot to freeze his mortal enemy and later burn them to ash" but in weapon
Lucky pants will never be meta lmfao! It’s crazy how much lucky pants is used in this current and last seasons meta lol!
this is going to be a bit of a reddit moment but: Monte carlo (the name of the weapon) is named after the metropolis monte carlo theorem (a technique for statistical distribution) which is named after a casino in Monte Carlo (the place). I only say this because the exotic trait: Markov Chain is the dead giveaway - which is one one of the subtechniques used within Monte Carlo techniques.
The intrinsic trait, “Monte Carlo Method”, really says it all.
Final Warning definitely deserves better than B tier. It's got insanely good single target damage when you lock on and crit someone while aiming down sights, and in RoN you can take out both tormentor shoulders with just 1 mag. It's honestly one of the best primary exotics in the game imo because it's got good ad clear capabilities (locking on and hipfiring into a crowd just shreds through the enemies, especially with the unraveling you get with a full charged shot), it's got good single target damage (the critical hit damage bonus from ADSing is absolutely insane), I highly recommend using this for anti-barrier or even just as a regular primary weapon that you can use to burst through majors and champions easily.
Side Note: I know this is most likely a joke, but if you have over 1k kills with Final Warning and you don't get that "hipfire while locked on = tracking rounds and more body shot dmg, ADS while locked on = faster bullets and hella extra crit dmg", that's a genuine skill issue. The gun's not complicated, you just mark targets by holding down the trigger, the longer you hold down the trigger the more rounds you shoot off in a burst (max of 10), a maximum burst of 10 rounds will unravel marked targets, and you can choose whether to hipfire or aim when firing in order to either get tracking rounds that do more dmg to the body or get faster rounds that deal hella extra dmg to crit spots.
I absolutely love the gun, even if I haven't used it too much recently. Its incredibly fun, and as you said, even does really good single target damage on top of the excellent add clear potential.
Actually haven't tried it with the new Whirling Maelstrom Hunter, but your comment has put the idea in my head to give it another chance when I get on later 👍🏻
I feel like the majority of the list is in a really good place, but the fact that Quicksilver isn't competing at the top of S+ tier is kind of insane to me. I'd also say that Wish Ender should be thete with ut, and Final Warning is vastly underrated by the entire community, especialky in synergy with the amazing Strand builds in the game
i just found you today and already subbed, love to see a hunter main in pve, everyone else seems to be a starfire warlock or a hammer thundercrash titan
as much as I appreciate you doing the work to put this video together, it doesn't seem to have any particular order and there are no time markers making it pretty difficult to specifically find what weapon I want to see your ranking of.
Supposedly Monte Carlo is named after the “Monte Carlo Method”. Some math thing idk I searched it up
"Lucky pants are not will never be meta"
that geoguessr clip was the most subtle but coldest flex i’ve ever seen in my life god damn
Cryosteshia is the best gun in the game. Unwilling to change or falter on this belief.
It's a menace for shutting down Supers in PvP
It's the only seasonal exotic that I have exactly 0% progress on the catalyst quest
The reason to use Wish Ender over Arb is, wish ender counts as 3 arrows hitting per shot aka 3x the amount of super from damage and 3x the amount of damage ticks for things like fusion nades/strand damage giving grenade back etc. Wish Ender is the best primary in the game for high end content and its not even close. One shots most red bars 3-4 shots elites and the super gen from shooting champs is unmatched. Also you can run a wave frame/blinding gl with it. If I haven't sold you yet, Witherhoard makes it do more damage so I'm sure you have a warlock running one on your team. Witherhoard turns things into taken and it does bonus damage to taken.
Was literally just about to write this. Even though Bungie have nerfed it a little by stopping the 3x damage, you still get insane amounts of super energy, and still deal with barrier champs like they're not even there.
I didn't think d2 footage could look... carbonated. Good vid.
Carbonated?
Quicksilver rockets are not arc anymore. They changed this before Lightfall as mentioned in a previous TWAB because it'd "mess with the upcoming catalyst."
Also, no mention of the GL mode lol
Outbreak actually spawns nanites regardless if it was a critical/ headshot, it just spawns them for any hits.
Osteo Striga is the single BEST exotic.
PvP - Works
PvE - WORKS
PvE w/ Necrotic Grips - W O R K S
Pve w/ Necrotic Grips and Weavers Trance - very functional
True although I would have elevated Quicksilver to an S+ tier just as easy on account of pvp ttk and the insane burst you can go with the 3 really easy to build up grenades.
Many users do not know you can fire those 3 nades in rapid succession if you hold the fire button and spam the reload button.
In average content I think it is a 150k burst which is just nice on a champion, yellow bar, boss or chunky addpacks
@@187roel I agree, but this seems to be a primarily PvE tier list, as evidenced by his dissing of rat king.
@@HexagonThatReallyLikesVinegar To each there own indeed and in a way this gives some diversity too.
I just, I loved the part i was listening about monte carlo and the music from the fungal wastes from hollow kick in, that made me smile, and your tier list is very interesting!
2:24
From the mist, a shape, a rat is taking form
That was the best way to explain touch of malice my favorite weapon! Could not explain it better myself I had to hear it twice
A little side note to help with the sudden drop in frames where it starts getting static. Export with a higher Max Bitrate. I find around 200 to be good and the minimum around 150.
Didn't even notice it was lagging, thanks :)
Your music choice is absolutely perfect
I would consider Whitherhoard the best in the game if had had like Unstoppable or Overload built in. Right now, as much as I love it, Arby is my go to Exotic Kinetic Special weapon.
Same here it’s too good and consistent
@@royceomani5127 I agree. If Whitherhoard had intrinsic Unstoppable or Overload, this would be a much closer argument.
I love Thorn so much, especially now that I've gotten Necrotic Grip. Clearing a horde of weak enemies with one shot feels so good
Kind of useless to use Thorn when Osteo Striga exist
@@chrisbarnesbarnes8332 but consider this: I prefer the feel of hand cannons to anything that's automatic. Osteo may be objectively better, but Thorn is just more satisfying for me. Anyways I use Sunshot now cuz ads go boom lol
that lucky pants comment aged like milk
Real OGs will remember cheesing The Chaperone quest in D1 with SRL
Rat king is good with the catalyst because you can just kill a psion and get health back plus invisibility to maintain that health.
compelling argument but I can just kill them from afar with a scout or use an smg to do what rat king does by killing them
@@chunkyrabbit1032 it can be usefull cause you can get invis on every class and that can be handy and some niche cases
@@chunkyrabbit1032 i also have that problem, I usually use a pulse or scout with it in pvp.
I love your tier lists, commentary is so funny. Also I appreciate hollow knight ost :D
I love my Indebted Kindness for anti barrier, that way it frees up an exotic slot. It's probably my favorite sidearm.
THE USE OF THE ORI SOUNDTRACK IS A GOATED CHOICE EMBER
The dead cells clock tower music in the background 💀💀
It makes it seem cool in the intro
“Lucky pants will never be meta”
20% hand cannon buff would like to speak with you
Some notes about quicksilver. The grenades do insanely high damage vs any "construct" type object. Barricades, tether anchors, the sword of a well of radiance, oracles in VOG, stasis crystals, even a sentinel's bubble. I have a hunch that if quicksilver could hold anymore than 3 grenades, it could pop a bubble by itself. Cause with 3 it gets reeeeeally close.
Also kills with the tangles created by quicksilver's perk count as kills for the gun itself. Which is a cool bit of new functionality for it.
This guy don't know what he is talking about.... for sure... Striga is his favorite... noobish smg...
Your about as funny as a hangover but the content is solid, I like it!
As a slightly above average player, I completely agree
Not because the placement feels right, but because I’m not gonna go and make my own tier list any time soon xD
Cant wait to see how hand cannons perform after the mid season update
I love your humor. Definitely worth a subscribe! : )
Monte Carlo is probably named after Monte Carlo Methods/Experiments. It has to do with randomized datasets/experiments, and is probably for the randomized path towards a full melee charge. Still weird, but not AS weird.
dude this video made me laugh sm especially when u said ur not reading allat😭 this is my first vid from you and i cant wait to watch more from you
Its hilarious the amount of cerberus +1 meat riders came in and basically just proved you right about them.🤣
1:12 I see that Rick’s intros are still meme-d about 3 years later 💀👍
"As if anybody made melee builds in the first place"
*Chuckles in Solar Titan.*
The recent buff to the Zen Moment perk made Jade Rabbit actually kinda annoying to fight against in PvP. I don't think it's anything game-breaking, but honestly I do think because of that buff it's higher than C right now. Maybe like a high B.
bad juju acc have a secret perk that on ur 150 kills streak or a bit less or more i don't remember it cause an explosion just like a cursed thrall
Conditional finality can infinitely freeze champions, just reload after the stasis shot and melee very useful especially for anti barriers and arc hunter.
Sure that the solar shot also works on champions, can't remember which type right now, but I remember using it and igniting an enemy and stunning it👍🏻
Final warning is one of my new faves. It's if osteo striga and vex mithoclast have a sidearm baby
After getting close to mastering Cerberus +1, I hate this. Cerberus +1 is such a good gun that just needs a little buff for it to be absolutely amazing. The Cerberus +1 has a consistent pellet spread that rotates clockwise, the Cerberus's average ttk at 20m is around .6 and .7. And up close you can get a .3 or down to a .17ttk.
The catalyst is great, but only in verry specific situations, love the cerb
3:23 **Reloads Malfeasance** Keep telling yourself that pal ❤️
I can’t wait to hear ur heavy rankings
Best thing about Wish Ender is hydra shields mean nothing. Actually any shield, but those are the most annoying ones.
A note about Lumina's Damage buff. It is not the highest. Banner Shield from Sentinel Titan provides a 40% damage buff. However, it's even weirder because it multiplies at the end of the equation, meaning it can multiply a higher base damage value.
I Remember a time where the Aeger’s Scepter did over 10 million damage on Rhulk in an LFG
good ranking! i agree with most of it, even 5 months later! also i love the hollow knight music
What a bloody fantastic video, sir. Absolutely brilliant
mhm... use his S+ ranks in master or grand master and repeat ur words... he gives rank S+ to the guns which should be used just for fun, only in easy activities
Pretty good video Mr.Ember, S for sEntretaning 20 minutes (S is silent)
Quicksilver does NOT shoot arc rockets anymore. That was a bug when it came otu and was "fixed" a few weeks after it came out :D
Also, Final Warning defenitely is worth it. The precision damage it deals is insane. I've done the legendary campaign with it on both of my other chars with ease. I sometimes even use it for DPS and I'm not in the loer part of DPS in my team... it can be insane if used correctly + easy addclear. It can also help in legend LS where you can just "lock on" an enemie and hide behind a wall but still shoot around the corner. Also it has anti barrier this season. It's S tier, or A tier at worst, but not B tier for sure
About damn time . Been waiting on this video for years
"it's a shame Lucky Pants will never be meta" uff 😂😂😂
Thank you for reminding me that monte carlo exists i will put that in my burn everything with sunbracers build
I got like 5000 kills on Quicksilver-Storm, so I think with that miniscule bit of practice i had with the weapon, I believe I'm pretty decent with it now.
I don't really see why using Arby over Wish is better even in high end content elemental shields are pretty easy to deal with and Wish Ender also breaks those pretty much instantly and thanks to the nerf Bungie gave Arby a while ago it deals about 10% more damage per a shot against champions than Arby combine this with infinite ammo, higher range, and like 90% less flinch and it just makes it the better choice.
Edit: Btw the Final Warning gets a 100% buff on both body and precision, creates tangles if charged even slightly, and has a 30% chance per a shot to unravel a target when charged even slightly the dps on this thing is pretty insane enough to beat out some special weapons and is great for champions
On top of what you said, Wish Ender also gives you a ton of extra super energy and has great synergy with lots of subclasses. If they ever give it even just a half-decent catalyst, it could be one of the top 5 exotic weapons in the game. Also, being able to run any of the awesome new elemental Fusion Rifles that have been introduced into the game, alongside the incredible GL options, means that it is a better option for an overpowered loadout 👍🏻
Also, I'm a huge fan of Final Warning. It's massively underrated and even though I haven't tried it with Maelstrom, I'm going to this afternoon and can't wait to have a lot of fun with the combo 👍🏻.
The comment section is very angry at the tier list. Bro didn't do that much research for this tier list.
Is that Hollow knight music in the background at some point? The mushroom area?
Great video, somewhat new to Destiny so had fun watching!
As someone who's new
Cerberus kinda fun
ive loved the witherhoard ever since it was released. definitely the most useful weapon in the game
Yes I used to run it a lot then I got osteo striga and it has not left my kinetic slot since then 😂
Every since wish ended got its buff and anti barrier I’ve been using it in any harder content because it one shots absolutely everything
Unrelated but based Celeste outro music
The Rick slander is amazing lmfaao
Will say Rat King arguably crawls it's way into B tier with its catalyst. Kinda makes it like crimson but slower and with invis.
Really pairs well with me being the invis monkey that has to rez everyone BC my friends are titans and don't understand what cover is.
I got the Cerberus recently for the first time and all I could think was ".....what do do with this?" and put it straight in my fault
Hands down, Wish-Ender > Arbalest. I will not accept this slander.
