Today I tested 100 of the craziest myths in Destiny 2 to find out which ones are true and which ones are busted! We tested some absolutely insane things like: can an arcstrider travel faster than anything else in the game? Do some of your favorite exotics have hidden perks that you never knew existed? Can you prevent enemies from teleporting away and making you miss your shots? All of that and so much more is included in this video. I hope you enjoy and learn something interesting! Actually, I can practically guarantee you'll learn something new -- many of the myths in this video are not well-known!

3) Corrections:
-In my test of the Oathkeeper draw time, I used a lightweight bow. Oathkeeper did not improve the draw time. However, on non-lightweight bows, Oathkeeper does improve the draw time by an incredibly small (and in most cases irrelevant) amount of 0.033 seconds. It does not work on (some) lightweight bows because draw time cannot go below 500.
-Some (but not all) weapons with ricochet rounds can also damage you if shot at your feet.
Hope you enjoy the video!
If you can manage to not destroy your sparrow, you can actually apply blinding effects them with grenade launchers.
Did I see you in a tdt stream?
@@OakHipster8848 yep
Shadow you still didn’t do the finisher right 💀 the enemy Has to be in the air or suspended (it sometime does not work on normal floaty enemies like witches.)
What is that plug-in for claiming past season rewards, and can it be applied on Xbox?? I really, REALLY want to know! I missed picking up some of the exotic engrams from 2 seasons ago
For the finisher speed one, you don't have to be on the air, the target needs to, if they are it defaults to the base finisher and it does feel a lot faster
This works on warlock too, sometimes when I finish an enemy in mid air it does the default finisher (even when I don't have it favorited) and it's noticeably quicker
It is quicker, it doesn't feel quicker it just is
Severance enclosure will show this the easiest.
It also true for titan
Also i found the new seasonal finisher takes longer for me
For the hunter's strand melee, I've noticed that if you go invis from a charged melee kill with the assassin's cowl exotic equipped, the rope dart will almost always fail to return back to you
It can't see u and gets lost. =(
Yeah I had it on during the lightfall campaign and thought the needle was broken
Yeah, what he did in the video had the timing off. The needle locked onto him before he went invis - if he used Assassin's Cowl, it would have procced invis before it tried to come back.
Remember when u throw it too far or walk away from it, it doesn't return, that might be why
@Florian its not that, Ive had it kill a bunch right around me and just float there instead of returning, or hit the ground like a titan hammer
14:10 Pineapples DO esxist in the Destiny universe. They're just extremely rare and unknown to many. Apart from the fact that they've been growing on Titan, there is a lore entry about Eris Morn when she gets some pineapple seeds brought from Titan by mysterious guardian called Enina. She actually planted them.
Enina? Wish it was Ananas...
@@themudpit621LOL
4:10 I think what happened there was you getting hit by a ricochet instead of hitting your foot, since Trespasser has ricochet rounds and they can deal dmg to you if you angle them just right.
I have seen this with other ricochet weapons too.
Yeah That's what I thought
Thought that too in that moment
22:22 The draw speed is faster by 2 frames, extremely unnoticable unless you are doing frame perfect draws and releases back to back. I believe it was Aztec in one of his DPS tests that confirmed this.
Came down here to say this. They confirmed that it was a thing that they added in an interview. I think they said it was originally going to be a big increase, and then they changed it, and then never removed it.
It's -33 to drawtime
I believe that it also doesn’t go beyond the bow drawspeed limit
this^
Also reload speed increases bow ttk so the fastest a bow can draw and fire is with using oath keepers with reloader mods
To add on to this myth @9:56, finishing an enemy while both mid-air is faster than ground
can confirm.
also, for finisher effects (like special finisher) there are some that are "faster" but the actual finisher timer is still the same. The only thing that changes is the actual kill portion of it.
interesting hmmm
It also will always use the default finisher as far as I know.
@@ShadowDestiny if need be i can get a clip of it lmao
this is true, and no matter what finisher you have on it, it will always be the default finisher.
2:46 Actually a really interesting point, because the fireteam from the trailer is confirmed to be Shayura's from the Trials weapon lore tabs. The Titan that got turned into ribbons was Reed-7, of "Reed's Regret" fame.
Another thing, the Titan that goes through the portal and becomes fused to their ship is Joxer, the one Drifter got to test Gambit Prime before it went out. He was also part of the Great Ahamkara Hunt.
Confirmed where?
@@Tylerino in lore books
9:40
I'll have to correct you on that myth. The enemy must be at least two feet in the air for the finisher to accelerate. It usually happens a lot with Champions when you do a lot of explosive damage with teammates and adding Suspend "helps" with that. Check it out for yourself in another video.
Wake up babe, a new shadow vid dropped
Wake up babe, new Vohvo comment dropped
No I want to sleep :(
nice
Real
Velask vohvo
Oath keepers do decrease draw time by about 30ms. It's too small to be super noticeable but making it any better would make it too strong, so Bungie removed the text from the perk description in forsaken.
@Shadow Destiny Fun fact: Pineapples if I'm correct on the lore tab, they do exist, Eris asked a Titan to find her a pineapple as a joke to get rid of them, but they took it as a serious request and it took them awhile but apparently pineapples disappeared for almost a century, just to suddenly reappear all of a sudden, even though it was only a few
Pineapples and Eris are always a disastrous combination in lore. In the Season of Arrivals lore book The Singular Exegete, she finds a recipe for pineapple fried rice and spends the entire lore book trying to recreate it. She sends a guardian she finds annoying to bring her pineapples, thinking they don't actually exist, but the guardian finds pineapple seeds on the Arcology on Titan. Eris can't grow them in Io's ground, so she makes a little garden out of "treated soil, asteroid powder, and a bacterial paste that looks like bouillon" and plants them. Not realizing the fruit grows underground, she observes the purple thistle-like flowers, contemplates eating them, and decides against it, worried about poison. From then on, pineapples are always a sore spot for her; she's convinced the idea of eating pineapples is a joke and gets angry at anyone who mentions it, thinking they're trying to prank her.
@@mozeytown The fruit part of pineapples doesn't grow underground though? They're not the plant's root; they're berries that grow fused together. They do, however, look kinda funky, and take a very long time to reach edible maturity from the time of planting. Over two years, according to google. It's really no wonder she never got fruit.
@@sevenlexar wow, TIL. Thanks for the correction!
Myth: if you kill an enemy with your finisher while the enemy is in midair it will be faster and always do the default finisher
Wel not always but pretty often
Oathkeepers does increase draw time slightly. Aztecross made a damage testing video and he found out they increase the draw time slightly making the damage increase
Its around 40ms faster draw
Beat me to it. If you just try to look at the animation side-by-side, it isn't noticeable. But if you watch Aztecross's damage tests, he gets more shots off during an entire damage phase with Oathkeepers on. Worth equipping if you use Wish-Ender or Leviathan's Breath for DPS
I have a fun one in the Tower, I think we all know that you can do the floor is lava minigame in the tower to gain the quickness perk to jump and run really high.
The fun part is that it actually stacks with the guardian rising perk u gain when leveling up in the guardian ranks, its quite difficult to get since getting guardian ranks is quite hard, but really fun cuz it allows you to jump super high!
12:05 Hey that's me ! 😎
Great video as always man! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks again!
FOR CALUS. You don't have to come out from under the stairs. Move forward when his first health bar is depleted, like he did to start the engagement, then back up again, then scoot over to left or right as far as possible, start firing and the Tormentors & Calus will move over to the right or left sides where you can shoot them, takes a little longer but you don't have to worry about being killed and starting over.
Shadow....we need that plug-in for previous seasons asap 🤣
it is crazy bro didnt provide a link or even name of it
it is crazy bro didnt provide a link or even name of it
The bonus loot from Terminal Overload myth also has another really cool effect. Equip crafted weapons that you need to level up, and each time you loot the chest, it gives roughly 27% per chest loot per weapon
9:16 wait... this is a myth? This is how I play with my Ticuu's divination most of the time when I use hunter HAHAAHAHA
By “finisher in the air,” I believe they meant when the enemy is also in the air, you perform a fast finish on an enemy that immediately defaults to your default class finisher.
Also some finishers drop heavy bricks from mods like lucent finisher faster and it’s based on when the enemy is actually killed and not the entire animation.
it did works
How does 16:00 work? I have some shit on old seasons passes, that I forgot to get.
I need answers too
@Okthisiscrazy now I need to know what a plug-in is and how it works.😂
Same
Out of all the comments you could have picked to test the finisher speed, you picked the one that was also wrong. Hunters have a unique finisher animation in Eververse where they hipfire a golden gun shot at the target very quickly and then twirl the gun before holstering it. From beginning to end, the animation takes the same amount of time as any other, but the enemy is _killed_ much faster than any other animation in the game. This helps a lot in GMs when you're running Aeons and have to do a finisher while under fire.
21:37 Here's a myth for you. In the taken blight public event it is significantly faster to destroy the first two waves of blight integrity and use the final wave to destroy the big blight than it is to just use the first wave on the big blight
You need to retest Oathkeeper, it does decrease Draw Time, but it doesn't go below the minimum (500 for Lightweights, 540 for Precisions). It's roughly the equivalent to a Draw Time Masterwork. So try out a Lightweight with 540 or above or any Precision bow.
If you hipfire a rocket launcher enemies will not teleport away.
Thought about this when you did the myth about going into cover to prevent teleports
11:25 Overload Auto Rounds are increasing the Stability and Recoil Direction on all Auto Rifles when the Overload Rounds perk is up on your screen
I don’t think it does that lol
@@ShadowDestiny I'm like 99% sure I tried firing an old Dark Decider with 43 recoil direction and it becomes a laser beam the moment the perk appears on my buff bar. It strangely enough does not do the same thing to SMGs despite being the one artifact mod.
That Calus cheese is how I beat legendary mode no problem lol. The holographic cat shows up in a few different places, I've seen it around the pond and the Hydrophonics Delta.
For the Two Tailed Fox Arc Rocket it looks more like it does launch the Arc Rocket but it's delayed in a way where you can run into it. As there is a small explosion when you moved forward
thats just the other rockets getting launched, you can even see that there are two explosions
you can also quickly reload the weapon and it'll only fire 1 rocket instead of 2 (or 3 if you have the catalyst).
The ghost blocking shots is probably referring to modes with reviving other guardians. When you have the big blue orb you interact with it seems to indeed block your shots when it gets between you and the enemy.
yeah, was gonna say. Ive heard of the myth before but never in normal crucible modes. Its only if the ghost is doing the orb animation for a res, def needs to be retested in that mode instead as both a teammates and enemies. (but I am also fairly certain its a known thing it does block shots in those modes)
another "myth" / unkown thing:
the wave from your wave frame gl can pass through your rally barricade but NOT through your wall barricade.
Awsome vid btw! really enjoy these types of videos!
Now THAT is how you do an Ad. Implement it with the Actual video, so Viewers can’t skip it.
@3:22, we must stay focused brothers we must.
Love your content man! We all can tell you put a lot of work into these and greatly appreciate their entertainment value
I appreciate that!
7:51 "They didn't have that much detail" ... mate its been that way since day 1......
1:46 that’s actually pretty helpful. I hated the strand hunter melee, but now I guess it’s at least a little more doable.
17:51 when I first knew about this, it reminded me of the menagerie way back when😁
On top of having innate fastball, Young Ahamkara's spine makes you *immune* to your own tripmines, so you can use them really aggressively without having to worry about hitting yourself with them.
Just keep in mind it doesn't make you immune to your Gunpowder Gamble damage 😅
If you fast-travel to the tower while in a Legend/Master Lost sector in the EDZ, you will be transported to Sojourner's Camp every time, without fail.
EDIT: Every destination with the Legend lost sector of the day will transport you somewhere else on the same world map if you travel from the lost sector TO the Tower.
2nd instance is the Dreaming City; Aphelion's Rest (Legend) lost sector, going to the tower took me to Devalian Mists
10:50 sometimes older consoles would hit a load zone when entering the bazaar from the courtyard, but there wasn’t one when leaving the annex. In that case taking the stairs may have been faster
The finisher if a enemy is mid air or suspended is quicker as it defaults to a normal finisher that is faster than the ground based ones.
Also 14:29
You can pull out your sparrow in that area during the battlegrounds to skip a lot.
The overload chest can be looted up to 4 times with the AoT sparrow and if you are fast enough.
I think I posted this on the last one, but some finishers being faster only refers to the speed at which the enemy dies, not the overall animation time
All finishers are the same from start to end, but the point in the animation at which the enemy dies will vary, meaning some are better for activating on-kill abilities
As an example, Sure Shot on Hunter kills the enemy super quickly after the finisher starts, meaning stuff like invis on finish activates much earlier and makes the finisher safer, but then there’s an extra animation of your character twirling the gun to normalize the length of the finisher with others
🤓
I love videos like these. They are amazing and I watch them multiple times.
that means a lot. Thanks so much!
Multiple times?
Go see a doctor.
@@vogelbert7082 lol
@@vogelbert7082 go get a better opinion lol
@@Ace_Gunner *NO* you get a better wheelchair.
Oathkeepers do change the drawspeed by 30 ms. Bungie has confirmed this and it's stated on Destiny 2 compendium. It used to say it in the description of the exotic but they removed that text since the effect was almost unnoticeable.
Regarding Finishers:
They may all take the same amount of time to play out, but some finishers activate "on finisher" effects like Echo of Obscurity much faster than others - this is because the effects happen when the enemy dies, and not when the finisher actually ends. Compare and contrast the "Sure Shot" Hunter finisher from Season 9 - which kills the enemy almost right away, but has a longer 'recovery' period afterward to compensate - against the "Silencing Shot" all-class finisher from Season 12, which takes a long time to actually kill but has much less recovery time after.
Calus cheese is actually easier. You can stay in pretty much the same spot, just walk forward under the path (by where you start the encounter) and calus moves to the side, free kill
Whats the plugin called, need to claim old things
10:04 when an an enemy is in the air with you it is
11:57 that looks like the exact same cat (minus the texture being different) that sits near hawthorne in the tower right next to the OOB spot
2:40 that’s average size okay
MYTH: shadow occasionally makes bad videos
BUSTED: they're only bangers
ITS TDT!!! 😁😁😁
The airborne finisher requires the enemy to be fully in the air, but also certain finishers get the kill earlier in the animation which is very useful for stuff like Aeons. It more reliably spawns the ammo when the enemy is still under fire from allies or DoTs
These kinda videos have been around for years now but this feels so fresh, good job man
I assume the reason people think d1 is slower is due too the FOV, FOV greatly changes how speed looks in games.
very true, I actually wrote that on the screen with tiny text haha
@@ShadowDestiny completely missed that my FOV irl clearly too far out its made me blind xD
17:50 NO WAY JUST LIKE IN HOUSE OF WOLVES LMAO
I’ve noticed a few weird interactions with arc Titan thruster. If you use it on surfaces like stairs it will very often bug out and you’ll float there for a second or two. Also, I started playing with Antaeus wards recently and when the perk is ready, using thruster appears to activate it. Haven’t tested whether it actually reflects incoming damage.
How have you not ran out of myths to bust!? This is incredible 😂 thank you.
9:00 i dont care about your tangle, you’re messing up my synergy too
Not sure if this counts as a secret/myth, but if you go to the Farm, where Mithrax used to be for the Zero Hour mission is now a makeshift hospital with injured Eliksni and Humans in it. People lying on hospital beds, etc. Also on Neomuna, if you go into the Typhon Imperator, if you keep following the path, you will eventually go through a portal, and if you continue, you will eventually reach a large circular room. This room was in the mission in the campaign where at the end Caiatl holds off the enemies as you escape down a very long path with your sparrow (I forgot the name of the mission). When you are on patrol and you are traveling through the Typhon Imperator, as soon as you reach the entrance to that room, make a right and you'll see a shelf with some urns on it. If you approach it, it will have a prompt to interact, and then you will get a text in the lower left hand of your screen about a beacon. Turn around and you'll see some sort of vex cube, run up to it and as you run through it, it will despawn and spawn another one a bit further away in front of you. Do this until you hit the last cube. Completing this will grant 100 Neomuna rank. It worked for me one time, but I haven't been able to replicate it. Maybe it's only once per character or is on a cooldown or something. Idk if any of this is useful, but I just found it interesting. Great video as always.
Fun fact: Icarus dashing into the Corsairs moves them really quickly. I pushed one from that camp all the way to the blind well load zone lol
Shoulder charge can actually be used before the on screen wind lines show up. This is because bungie buffed it a long time ago but never updated the vfx. The current window is 1second from sprint to activate
"it must be really cold outside" LOL
Oathkeepers does increase your draw speed on bows. But only by something like 2-4 frames so its basically non existent. However on a long boss dps phase it can allows 1 exta shot from leviathans breath.
10:18 While it doesn`t increase the actual range, it will increase the range of grappling on a grapple point and will help you save the grapple energy
Messing with someone else's tangle is like messing with someone else's warmind cell lol
The fast finisher only works when the target is on air, you can test that with the strand suspend, I play legendary lost sector solo a bit and found out it’s kinda faster. Anyway, love your content, keep it going man 🎉
Depending on how long ago you tested the Two Tail Fox catalyst myth, supposedly that was a bug that was patched last week. It may be worth testing again
For anyone wondering about the myth around 16:00, it was a Firefox extension that Mozilla squashed just recently (March '23) called Season Pass Pass.
Damn that sucks 😢
@@alee2128 It still works, i just searched it and got it, and it works as of 4/20, no this is not a 420 joke or anything.
It still works for me
@@thehalfgrain yo send me that link
12:04 there are many of those holographic cats. Firest time I've seen one was in passageway to the lost sector in Zephyr Concourse in Neomuna. Sometimes they're really hard to notice, but you can hear strange noise when they notice you and run away.
I think you can block a Jötunn shot with a grenade tho. I think it happened to me a couple of days ago and I might have even clipped it. Gonna look for it when I come home from work
Myth: if you turn off music, go to orbit and crank up your volume the following exotics will make a sound:
Malfeacense, Outbreak, Bad Juju, Witherhoard, Ager's Scepter, Touch of Malice, Conditional Finality, Nechrochasm,
Lord of Wolves, Ruiness Effigy, Cloudstrike, Hierarchy of Needs, Centrifuse, Ex Diris,
Worldline Zero, One Thousand Voices, Anarchy, Deathbringer and Parasite
I need someone to confirm a myth that I busted if you want to. It goes something like this:
While fighting Riven, we tried two different weapon sets: all swords with Tractor Cannon, and all linears with Div. According to the numbers, we did about three times more damage with linears than we did with swords, but the swords took substantially more of her health bar than the linears. This would mean that the numbers count for nothing. I've also been able to somewhat confirm that Wish Ender is the best DPS weapon based on the length of the damage bar that disappears, even though the numbers would say otherwise. Anyway, if you're looking for a new myth to bust, try this one out.
For the blight public event remember the massive blight halfs in hp every time it moves. So forcing 1 or 2 moves makes it a lot easier to destroy.
2:45 got me rolling 😂
Shadow bein sponsored by Clash!!!!! Congrats dude you deserve it
Also, for the midair finisher, the target must be in the air. It does seem much faster
for the shank blaster one,it only works on the S.A.B.E.R strike boss,you deal precision damage when you shoot the floating engine/blaster things on both sides of the boss.
All large shanks have precision zones that don't exist on smaller shanks. Dealing precision damage doesn't disable their turrets though
I'm glad that I found the one to glitch under the tower myself
16:50 I appreciate the Cerberus +1 love right there.
Something Ive been using since mini slam came to destiny 2 is combining mini slam with thunder crash to go faster and get more distance, you can mess up and ruin the super if not done properly
As the resident pineapple lore enthusiast, I'd like to clarify that pineapple don't seem to exist post-collapse on earth and the surrounding colonies, though records of them exist. from the Season of Arrivals lore, you also hear about Eris Morn trying to make fried rice, but the recipe calls for pineapple, which frustrates her. She snaps at someone to bring her a pineapple, but that guardian took it seriously and found some seeds on Titan, bringing them back to Eris to let her plant them for herself. As for why they're on neomuna, the Neptune colony was... well, colonized. they definitely had a bunch of agriculture aboard the ship for when they land.
also, i find it wild that players can't spell nezarec's name properly. It's only been in the name of an exotic since D2 launched, and had a weapon named after him, and had many name-drops where he's distinctly called nezarec. It's like how if i had a dime for every time a warframe player misspelled "grendel" i could pay DE to send an inbox message to every player telling them to read the name of the items they're farming 7 hours for.
For the Bow tip, they actually do fire from center every time. However, Bows have so much Bullet Bending and AA that they will quickly lock onto and go directly to a target. If that target happens to be next to your cover, the Arrow will imbed itself into your cover as that is the straightest route
did you know , that you can only spawn 15 sparrows in an area? and any new one spawned after that, deletes the oldest one :D , plus you cannot use the old ones anymore XD
6:29 that area can also be accessed with really good glacier nade placement
(Theres also a couple invisible ledges and things)
I was talking about orbs of light with my friends the other day, and none of them knew when you make one it spawns on the trigger location but when someone in your fireteam makes an orb it spawns where they’re standing (for everyone except them). started asking around and apparently not many people are aware this is how orbs work lol
The trespasser one is just because of ricochet rounds bouncing off the ground into you, no? So any weapon with ricochet should theoretically be able to do it
Due to the way Warlock's jump is, you can do a certain jump timing and move way faster than the other classes on flat ground. Jump once then right before you hit the ground, spam the jump button 4 times, repeat. So, Jump - pause - jump x4 - jump - pause - jump x4.
3:26 what are you doing step guardian? I'm stuck!
if you kill a target while in the finisher or just before the finisher will end really fast and you get your invis instantly if you have the fragment equipped
For the claiming old rewards one, is it only claiming things we unlocked in the season and forgot to pick up or is it anything that we wanted? For example if I missed season of dawn but wanted the ornaments, could I just go get them now?
Test the full duration of the invis with vs without void. Maybe its just me bugging, but it almost looked like the invisibility was flashing alot more light purple after you switched. That could have been the timer running out, but would be cool to know if its legit.
12:01 Fun fact about the Digital cat on Neomuna, if you slow crouch towards it, you can get right next to it and it purrs. It gets spooked by fast movement lol
Like with the cat in the tower )
6:47 You can clear load outs in game. I believe it’s hold X on Xbox and I assume Square on PlayStation. Just go to the load out and hold the button. I’ve done it a few times
You use to be able to stack ashes to assets in D1 because it was only on helmets but there was an over sight that it was on the ahamkara gauntlets for the hunter and it use to give a super with 1 grenade pre patch.
For the Sparrow/Grapple one:
"Help step-Guardian, I'm stuck!"
2:20 I don't know if its the fact its hitting enemies first but when I run assasins cowl the melee flies off in the same direction it pierced the last enemy with while I'm invis from the melee kill.
when people talk about a faster finisher, they're talking about how quickly the target dies. the reason the goldy finisher is the best in the game is because the target dies right at the start of the animation.
21:29 Another way to destroy blights is to use thorn, it goes right through the barrier for some reason (im assuming lore reasons) not sure if it works with the smg aswell.
Great video btw (:
It does not work with Osteo Striga, unfortunately. I don't have Touch of Malice but someone should test it too as it's also considered a weapon of sorrow.
@@mozeytown ahhh i didnt even think about touch of malice, i could definitely see it working with that. im still curious what allows thorn to bypass them but would be cool to be a lil secret perk added to more weapons
The finisher speed one works when the target is in the air or moving at a fast enough velocity, and it will override your finisher and choose the default one instead. Easiest way to recreate this in my experience is to use the warlock void melee that launches enemies back, and then hit the finisher button immediately after the melee
I think the reason why people think doing damage to the engines on threshers did more than on the body was probably due to the way range works; since the engine is closer to you at certain angles, it is technically "closer" and thus takes more damage.
Also just... most vehicles have a weak point and it's WEIRD that Threshers do not.
A friend of mine thinks it's because they were originally designed as troop drops and not intended to be full on units to be destroyed so they didn't get crit points added.
With regard to the finisher speed one, my belief/understanding is not so much that certain finishers are faster in terms of the entire animation, but rather that certain of them kill the enemy faster (i.e., sooner in the course of the animation). This matters when you're running special ammo finisher or Aeon's or Lucent Finisher and are trying to get the finish kill before something like Witherhoard or Osteo gets the kill mid-finisher animation. I imagine we've all experienced that, where you do the finisher and it goes through the animation, but no ammo spawns (and it doesn't count toward bounty progress) because the enemy otherwise died mid-animation. Finishers like Gladiator Bladerush feature the kill earlier in the animation, potentially decreasing your chances of being thwarted by those other influences. At least, that's my belief and understanding.
4:10 this isn't unique to Trespasser, any weapon with ricochet of some sort can do it. While I'm bored/waiting on someone for something, I usually murder myself with my Ikelos SMG on walls and the ground, its just finding the right surface to bounce the bullets.
