    Pulse Rifles just got a 12.5% damage buff with the release of Season 23. There is also an Overload Pulse Rifle mod in the Seasonal Artifact, so Pulse Rifles are a fine option for endgame content like Grandmaster Nightfalls, but the question is: What is the best exotic pulse rifle in Destiny 2? Well let's find out! Today, 6 Pulse Rifles are going head to head in a series of tests. These include the Graviton Lance, No Time To Explain, Revision Zero, Bad Juju, Outbreak Perfected, and the Collected Obligation.

      @@MavenPhoenix I have a build using this with Secant Filaments. I wouldn't use this build for solo content, but as part of a team, you suppress everything whilst your team mates clear everything up. It makes it easy for champion targets due to the suppression, keeping everyone safer.

    Collective Obligation should have weaken factored into those numbers, because you're always running it with Echo of Undermining. On Master/GM content, you can stun a champ and weaken it, kill the champ, and still have the buff active for the rest of the adds. (On low-level content, it's completely excessive and just run Graviton instead.)

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a general Happy Holiday to you Maven. I thought that was a very interesting video (as I do with all of your vids). While I own all of the pulses mentioned here, I really only use the Outbreak Perf consistently just because it feels so good (especially in pvp). I will definitely be giving the Grav lance a try next time. Happy Holidays to all.

    I've been loving Graviton with Gyrfalcon's on Hunter, then Bungie went and buffed Graviton! LOL
    In areas where there are tons of low level ads in confined spaces, I've seen Graviton not only kill all the ads present, but even continue killing new ads when they spawn in, with the Cosmology Void orbs, then more, over and over till no more ads spawn in. It's a lot of fun watching the Graviton creating these death feedback loops.

    First off, thanks for the data and investing the time to put good content out.
    I play with pulse rifles all the time and have to say, what weapons you use is up to your individual play style. Saying pulse rifles are the worst because you don't like them, doesn't mean that it's the same experience for everyone.
    I play with a shaped BXR and it's heavy on ad clearing and NOT an exotic. My main was the outbreak but now I run mainly with the Revision Zero and and BXR with Apex Predator.

      I would like to see Maven comparing archetypes of weapons. Every Guardian has a right to form an opinion and express on UA-cam or any other platform.
      The issue could be, that a new player after listening to Maven, starts avoiding, using or even testing a whole archetype of weapons. I agree with both the notions

    Outbreak + Strand (warlock) with Mindspun Invocation aspect (any exotic is fine, though Necrotic Grips/Sanguine Alch goes pretty hard with it)
    Bad Juju + any Super-based exotic (strongest pairing w/ Celestial, currently)
    No Time + warlock with any Arc Soul build for double turrets/Stasis with Osmiomancy Gloves (hitting slowed/frozen targets count towards the time turret)

  • @antiimperialista5764
    @antiimperialista5764 5 місяців тому +1

    If you were going to give that advantage Collective Obligation, you should've used Renewal Grasps with No Time to Explain: shooting a frozen target returns ammo like fourth times the charm (they don't need to be crits either). Specially against Carl, It should hold up there with the big two. Because I've used on Master lost sector and you can primary an Overload this season with No Time to Explain, of course in GM's I would have to crutch something else but that's the nature of GM's.

    "Pulse rifles are the worst weapon type in PvE."
    My Sacred Provenance with 6,316 kills and Insidious with 3,124 kills would like to have a word with you.
    Good video! I like the format and ranking structure. In addition:
    Each stack of string of curses is actually 20% damage, adding up to double damage at 5 stacks!
    No time to explain must have gotten stealth-buffed. The portal bullets do fractionally more damage than they used to, which means they likely got a PvE damage bump. I'm not sure.

    @GuiltyMalice 5 місяців тому

    I’d agree with you on the pulse rifles being pretty bad in pve, if it weren’t for the BXR-55 Battler. My BXR puts in work lol, mainly due to ignitions. Enhanced demolition with incandescent, crazy ignitions and back to back grenades. It’s also really good firing from the hip and for a pulse rifle has a decent fire rate. It zooms in like a sniper to pick off enemy snipers also making it pretty versatile in my opinion. Other than the BXR I haven’t come across any other pulse that’s even semi decent in pve so for all else I’d have to agree. Great video, great breakdown. Thanks for sharing.

  • @reecem100
    @reecem100 3 місяці тому

    Very good video. But I think starting dps with 2 sniper bullets on revision zero might have been more realistic. Almost all encounters in destiny have trash mobs coming out before bosses and mini bosses. So in almost all content you're gonna have a couple of sniper bullets charged if not all 4 by the time you get to a boss.

      Bungie has to make exotics worth taking up the exotic slot, otherwise legendaries would dominate because they get perk options. I could definitely see them nerfing it down to 30% though, but no less.
