It's interesting that all of Nezerec's artifacts we can use relate to different elements, Nezerec's Sin is Void, Whisper and Delicate Tomb are arc, and this shotgun is solar and stasis.

Point being that Saying this does not make any of it make any damn sense. When things genuinely flow, there is natural connection there. When things do NOT genuinely flow, it is jarring and does not make any damn sense. it’s wrong The story had a natural flow that the Neptune pivot makes no damn sense. It’s just random manifestations thrown in with about as much forethought as the decision makers in Fortnite. As random and left field as all this shit is, oh, they’re going to create threads to justify this decision making. But the problem is, it’s all artificial. Just like with this God of pain being a fish person. We all know what the god of pain looks like. From the first exotic piece to the first lore piece … there is a logical interpretation and natural manifestation that you will have with this character. And it is not rainbow colored fish person. Because that does not flow. It’s not natural with previous instances. It’s jarring and artificial and disingenuous. Which is this whole Neptune pivot. There’s plenty to appreciate in the expansion, but long before this expansion released… This whole pivot felt wrong. It instantly made me think that the bungie team was now being run by the same fortnight team at epic. The decision making felt like a disconnect from the natural story flow to go with this trend chasing to be artificially excused through unnatural connections being created. Anyway
An exotic weapon that truly feels exotic, it looks incredible. One little bit of missed opportunity here though: imagine how cool it would be for this gun to not be able to ads, but you could control each barrel independently where left click shoots solar and right click shoots stasis? That would have been perfect! Update: THIS GAL GOT IT TO DROP THIS WEEKEND!!!!
What excites me the most for this weapon is the subclass synergies. On solar, you can build into the ignition to clear massive areas and give grenade energy back. Or stasis, building into shatter damage, grenade recharge, shards, rime, and chains especially on Titan's lances.
@@Arteps1 I’d use it always, especially endgame. Because what sort of statement is it to use A Shotgun when it’s not optimal? The statement is “Dont care, didn’t ask.” Always the Chad option
Consider this also, the weapon can stun Unstoppables, but doesn't have Anti-Unstoppable integrated on it (Unlike Leviathan's Breath, for example). That means you should be able to mix it with Radiance and stun Barrier champions too.
They really went full doom this dlc and I'm loving it. First, Winterbite is a reference to the BFG and now a double barrel shotgun. Edit: i like the detail of the changing crossairs. When it's stasis, it's a triangle to represent darkness and the pyramid ships, and when it's solar, it's a circle to represent the traveler and the light.
Really looking forward to doing the raid 40 times, and not get it because of my terrible raid rng!🎉 50+ runs without getting Vex Mythoclast or Malice taught me that time is better spent elsewhere in this game.
@@SparkyShepard yea. I've only ever done it for vault and kings fall and still never got their exotics in D2 😂😂 I've never done them for the other raids tho
At this point, I'm been first to get the exotic in every raid for my team but one... Even got 1KV & Tarraba on the first try... my fireteam is no longer surprised
Just going off of intuition, the reticles make me think of a collaboration between the Light and Dark. Triangular reticle/shot pattern for the Pyramids of Darkness as well as Stasis damage being a Darkness damage type, and we have the circular reticle/shot pattern for the Traveler along with Solar being a Light damage element. I'm pretty sure the lore behind this Exotic would cement this observation.
It seems like the paired light and darkness elements really do complet each other and become a more cohesive whole. Solar governs the release of energy in forms such as heat and light. Stasis governs the absorption of heat and light into potentiall energy and together they govern the absorption and release of energy. Void governs the vacum between objects and the distance between them, gravity and the breakdown and creation of virtual particles. Strand governs non local interaction such as certain quantum effects and psychic phenomena and together void and strand governs local and non local interactions. It is gonna be intresting to see what the counterpart to arc will be since arc seems to gowern most of the electromagnetic force. Maybe something about multiphase matter like what revision zero seems to indicate darkness tech is made of. Or something like transmutation of matter similar to taking.
It also has to do with entropy and thermodynamics. Solar is entropy. As things become hotter, they become more disordered (think ice melting into formless water). Solar accelerates the process, causing wild explosions everywhere. Stasis is the reversal of entropy, taking things back to the most rigid form, crystals. You could say that water freezes, or you could say it crystalizes, hence the crystals everywhere when you freeze things with Stasis. The Solar reticle being a smooth circle while the Stasis reticle is a more rigid and formed triangle tracks with this. Bungie are such physics nerds and I love it!
@@simonwahlen7150 As far as physics concepts go, they have tackled Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Gravitation, and now Quantum and String Theory. You could be right about what comes next, but I also noticed they have not tackled Relativity or any other Spacetime phenomena in a big way besides specific weapons like NTTE. It would be interesting to see what they could do with that in a subclass.
@@terribletimes902 supposedly Stasis was originally going to be time manipulation according to a dev log, but I'd absolutely love to see a time based subclass and would main it even if it was garbage
I'd consider cross more of a "holistic" destiny youtuber/streamer, but I agree with you in that it's been awesome to see him get sucked into the incredible lore the game has to offer.
Having a solar option in the kinetic slot is pretty dope. You can pair this with mini tool and a solar linear to have a go to option for solar builds that can ignite with every slot. The added utility of freezing with the first shot is nice, solar lacks crowd control. Idk how I feel about it the other way around, stasis has so many good options.
Nah, if this gun gets a catalyst it needs to be able to swap its element type between stasis and solar. It's a cool gun I legit have 3 of it. But, again too situational. Even vex would be better to run for solar
I was just telling my wife yesterday, How great of a destiny content creator you are. You cover pve then pvp, the lore. No other content creator does it like you man. much appreciated!
He covered pve, pvp, and lore? Most creators just cover one topic on a weapon. On top of that, he had the most views out of the destiny streamers yesterday during the worlds first. So my wife asked who he was.
If I were to give it a Catalyst I would give it Deep Pockets to increase its reserves and its mag to 4 that way you can shoot Stasis Solar Stasis Solar then reload. It’s pretty dang good at what it does so I don’t think it needs a strong catalyst. Deep pockets would complement it very nicely tho
If the catalyst gives it a bit more range or like 2-4 more rounds, or even a bit more impact doing nasty damage, then I would say it’ll probably be up there for a must have for solar and stasis build.
Even the icon in the bottom left corner shows stasis with the first shot and then solar after you used up the first shot so just in case you forget they really went into making sure this exotic was really nice looking and functional
A year ago I did the very beginning of Vow alone, with no friends that play the game and no hope for doing day 1. Yesterday, after 12 hours, not only did i complete my first every day 1 raid with my friends, but i got this beautiful weapon. Truly a great experience
Hey Cross, you mention that its impact (80) is that of other precision frame shotguns, but virtually all precision frame shotguns have an impact of 70 (the exception being matador, but it doesn't actually do more damage). On the other hand, all aggressive frame shotguns have 80 impact, so does this exotic deal precision frame or aggressive frame damage, or neither?
I assume it is like last word, which is programmed as a 180 hc iirc but has a unique damage profile I assume this is programmed as an aggy but does it's own damage
Imagine an optional Catalyst that turns it into Strand and Arc Edit: also i hope they add legendary double barrel shotguns made by Tex Mechanica (With also the lightweight buff)
The fact that triangle and circle reticle represent light and dark (traveler and pyramid) is actually the coolest part of the fun. Although I wouldn't mind a double barrel with two reticles one for each...
Great looking weapon and useful but much better secondary options out there, be fun to bring out every now and again but I doubt we will see it used in high end activities as of yet.
I’m glad they added triumphs to increase the drop rate like they have for dungeon exotics. Very cool exotic, even if it doesn’t end up being very practical
Assuming it works with both solar and stasis armor mods, you can fix up that handling pretty easily; especially this season, where you can make it cost less
The fact that the stasis is a triangle while solar is a circle is awesome since stasis is a darkness power related to the witness who's spirit animal is a triangle
I had always hoped that we would get a double barrel shotgun ever since I started playing Destiny 2. The concept art of Uldren Sov had me excited for a possible void dbs, but it never came. The Spire of the Watcher had me excited, thinking we would get a tex mechanica themed dbs, but it was instead a bow. Then this raid came out, with me expecting the return of the Khvostov, and instead it was a dbs that freezes and explodes enemies. Needless to say, I plan on doing this raid on all three characters every week just to get my hands on. I want to use it alongside Caliban's Hand and make as many explosions as possible.
A neat touch is that reticle you mentioned. Firing stasis with a triangle reticle (darkness) and firing with a circular reticle for solar (light) just adds a nice pinch of pizzazz to this gun
Really happy with this raid loot overall. Armor is so ugly but unique it’s awesome, the weapons are cool, and the new exotic looks amazing. Definitely gonna be grinding this one out
I think a big theme going forward after the dark and light saga will be combining the two sides light and darkness. I think this is the start of something new an I am a firm believer we will get a new sub class next year as well.
My buddies and I were talking about it last night; none of the new raid exotics have a catalyst. The only raid exotics that have a catalyst are the reprised raid exotics.
I can't tell you how happy I am that they finally made a DB shotty. I made a concept for one in Photoshop in 2020, thinking that it would never come to pass, yet here we are.
Don’t know if it was said anywhere else but this weapon also has the origin trait from the raid as a hidden perk. If you have another RON weapon equipped they both reload faster.
My first time I did the raid this dropped for me. I didn’t realize it was RNG at first and thought it just dropped for everyone the first time beating Nez…
This shotgun fills a Void in my heart like Doom but I hope we can get over the story Arc of this DLC quickly. Kinda feels like Bungie left us Stranded in the ending.
I know it's a slightly unrelated question, but I don't see anyone talking about the title screen of the new raid. The one we saw in the ViDoc clearly started on Neomuna. Did they just trick us to not give spoilers away (like there is anything to spoil) or is there going to be a 6 player activity on Neomuna?
What's even crazier is that it's your primary or first slot. Whatever you want to call it. SO you can have a wave frame gl or a blinding gl AND A rocket, both with auto loading for just maximum spam. That's insane
It makes sense solar and stasis are the opposites of each other loving the idea of two elements in one gun. I can say next exotic will be strand and void, the last one is arc and that….
I really miss when raid exotics and dungeon exotics had a quest tied to them, it adds depth to the raid and adds even more lore to the raid like touch of malice where we find out more about oryx it also just makes it feel a lot more alive having a quest of you exploring areas to build a powerful weapon I feel the only reason they don’t do it anymore is bc how bad the div quest was received
Savathun got 2 ups on Both Rhulk and Nez I think she’s secretly the savior remember her dying words at the end of her campaign and also remember her ghost is still alive.
I found out something interesting while testing with this weapon, rather said the freeze of it. Turns our its a better version of one-two punch for strand titan (that's what I tested it with). The strand powered melee did about 10% more damage to a frozen target than it did with a one two punch shotgun. Also one-two punch is not doing the correct amount of damage buffing dim sais 40% buff on powered melees but its 100% on the powered strand melee. Still the melee against the frozen target did even more. Please correct me if i messed something up in the calculations but this seems a bit too strong since frozen enemies only take 5% increased damage from light subclass melees.
If you walk into a barrier with the stasis shot it will freeze a barrier out of their shield, so if it’s not contests mode it can stun those champs too
Only thing I think is annoying about it is that you can really only use the stasis shot indefinitely as long as you have ammo, as it’s the first shot by default. If you wanna use the solar shot you have to waste a shot first. I wish there was a way to swap the sides, like an alternate firing mode.
It might be broken but I think it would have been cool if it had like a long reload press that changes which element you use in your first shot. Like normally it shoots stasis first but you could long hold and then have the fire shots first to actually focus on a solar build where you reload the round right after using it, constantly causing ignitions
Would love to see a second double barrel with maybe strand and void that isn't a raid exotic. Like a twin to this gun that is easier to get, but maybe less damage or something like that
Love the visual design, but why not have it be interchangeable between solar and stasis similar to Hardlight? Or, let it be based on whether you're running solar or stasis. That way it's not only 50% synergistic with any of its synergies. Unless this is a sign of the direction Bungie intends to go, allowing multiclass and combination of elements into builds.
It would be cool if they made a new archetype for double barrel shotgun and we got this reload animation for legendarys! Maybe like adaptive shotguns?!
When it comes to the reticles: as you said the stasis one is a triangle and solar is a circle. I believe these are meant to represent dark and light or the pyramid (triangle) and the traveler (sphere/circle) respectively. Just a nice touch to the theme
I'm desperate for a weapon that makes it easier to cause ignition. The way that they set up the stacks it just takes too much work to get one of them to proc Arc doesn't have such obstacle foolishness for blindness and jolt. It's just easier and more effective. And especially void which has every damn power under the sun, and STILL getting more
I think if it had the same total reload speed but loaded one round at a time it would be a bit better. You wouldn't have to use both rounds to get the ignition if that's what you want. You can cancel the reload early and have a bit more control over how the weapon functions.
The more lore we discover surrounding Savathun and the Witness/Disciples, the more convinced I am that we’re going to be reviving her some time this year to become allies, especially now that the Traveler is “dead” or whatever. She has no reason to fight us anymore and she has proven herself as a powerful opposition to our enemies time and time again
I can't wait for cross to review the neomona weapons. They seem like quicksilver storm dollar Walmart version so I'd like to see what he says about them
THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!!! I wanted an exotic double-barreled shotgun for D2 that functions like the Super Shotgun of the Doom Slayer in mag size AND reload. AND WE GOT IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS EVEN IF IT HAS 30 RANGE
Compared to the last 2 exotics that are underwhelming this one is actually useable for both activities in pvp its basically a saw off shotgun it’s extremely deadly when u are next to a player
This is the 2nd raid exotic I'd like alot I've wanted vex mythoclas for rain of fire build on warlock I'd love to pair this shot with stasis warlock and the new gloves!
If it says 5 in the mag, wishful thinking but maybe the catalyst does something like that. E.g. there are also 5 sub class types so maybe we could get the jolt, suppress, unravel as well
I used to hate shotguns but these past few seasons I have been begging for a way to use them against champions. This thing looks amazing and I have to have it 😍
DPS would be crazy if it had 5 in the mag, three shatters and two ignitions in one mag. I'm liking this new trend of raid exotics made with build-crafting in mind.
Did nezarac 3x got this gun 3x. Apparently I have good luck with it. I really do want to use it but let's be honest if you're trying to min max your build, using an exotic slot on this regardless of your build will definitely cripple your build. Don't get me wrong I'd love to use it for a solar well build but it's just not as meta and more than likely never will be just because of how situational it is. It's a shotgun that you lose your subclass benefits on as soon as you no longer bave the shot in that element. Not to mention they locked it in as stasis.
Triangle reticule when you fire dark power, and cicle reticule when you fire light power. The details make this weapon amazing.

I think a big theme going forward after the dark and light saga will be combining the two sides light and darkness. I think this is the start of something new an I am a firm believer we will get a new sub class next year as well.
i like how it says magazine size is 5 but only holds 2 bullets
My buddies and I were talking about it last night; none of the new raid exotics have a catalyst. The only raid exotics that have a catalyst are the reprised raid exotics.
The coolest thing about this gun is how the reload animation looks exactly like the animation for the super shotgun from doom. So fucking sick.
I can't tell you how happy I am that they finally made a DB shotty. I made a concept for one in Photoshop in 2020, thinking that it would never come to pass, yet here we are.
Don’t know if it was said anywhere else but this weapon also has the origin trait from the raid as a hidden perk. If you have another RON weapon equipped they both reload faster.
My first time I did the raid this dropped for me. I didn’t realize it was RNG at first and thought it just dropped for everyone the first time beating Nez…
This shotgun fills a Void in my heart like Doom but I hope we can get over the story Arc of this DLC quickly. Kinda feels like Bungie left us Stranded in the ending.
I got it on my second clear yesterday. It’s one hell of a fun gun to play with and hits extremely hard.
really cool idea but i wish they did the styling differently,.. i don't see how this cube gun with glowing neons matches the raid aesthetics
Would love to see a catylist that adds a 3rd barrel doing strand damage thst can suspend targets, would work pretty well with its unstop sinergys
I know it's a slightly unrelated question, but I don't see anyone talking about the title screen of the new raid. The one we saw in the ViDoc clearly started on Neomuna. Did they just trick us to not give spoilers away (like there is anything to spoil) or is there going to be a 6 player activity on Neomuna?
I think that was the original plan for terminal overload, but they made it a public event instead
The reticles represent the source of that element. Triangle for darkness and circle for light.
They should make it so you can't ads, but the ads button fires the solar shot. Allowing you to fire both barrels at the same time.
What's even crazier is that it's your primary or first slot. Whatever you want to call it. SO you can have a wave frame gl or a blinding gl AND A rocket, both with auto loading for just maximum spam. That's insane
Watched your day 1 attempt! Thanks for streaming, it was awesome!
It makes sense solar and stasis are the opposites of each other loving the idea of two elements in one gun. I can say next exotic will be strand and void, the last one is arc and that….
I saw that editors note, that was a nice touch!
I really miss when raid exotics and dungeon exotics had a quest tied to them, it adds depth to the raid and adds even more lore to the raid like touch of malice where we find out more about oryx it also just makes it feel a lot more alive having a quest of you exploring areas to build a powerful weapon I feel the only reason they don’t do it anymore is bc how bad the div quest was received
Got it today! Swinging in with strand and ripping with this is so awesome! 😂🙌🏻
Finally a raid exotic worth getting!
Surprised they didn’t save this for a Tex Mechanica gun.
Savathun got 2 ups on Both Rhulk and Nez I think she’s secretly the savior remember her dying words at the end of her campaign and also remember her ghost is still alive.
this thing is sick. that raid is already on the to do list but now its really bumping.
I found out something interesting while testing with this weapon, rather said the freeze of it.
Turns our its a better version of one-two punch for strand titan (that's what I tested it with). The strand powered melee did about 10% more damage to a frozen target than it did with a one two punch shotgun.
Also one-two punch is not doing the correct amount of damage buffing dim sais 40% buff on powered melees but its 100% on the powered strand melee. Still the melee against the frozen target did even more.
Please correct me if i messed something up in the calculations
but this seems a bit too strong since frozen enemies only take 5% increased damage from light subclass melees.
in the lore it sounds like Savathun was using strand to shackle Nezzie, which would've made sense if WQ had strand as it was originally supposed to.
If you walk into a barrier with the stasis shot it will freeze a barrier out of their shield, so if it’s not contests mode it can stun those champs too
No you cant I tried that with cryosthesia.
Only thing I think is annoying about it is that you can really only use the stasis shot indefinitely as long as you have ammo, as it’s the first shot by default. If you wanna use the solar shot you have to waste a shot first. I wish there was a way to swap the sides, like an alternate firing mode.
It might be broken but I think it would have been cool if it had like a long reload press that changes which element you use in your first shot. Like normally it shoots stasis first but you could long hold and then have the fire shots first to actually focus on a solar build where you reload the round right after using it, constantly causing ignitions
Cool I'll put it next to all the other exotic shotguns I never use hahha... thx for the content man, enjoyed watching the raid yesterday!
Would love to see a second double barrel with maybe strand and void that isn't a raid exotic. Like a twin to this gun that is easier to get, but maybe less damage or something like that
Love the visual design, but why not have it be interchangeable between solar and stasis similar to Hardlight? Or, let it be based on whether you're running solar or stasis. That way it's not only 50% synergistic with any of its synergies. Unless this is a sign of the direction Bungie intends to go, allowing multiclass and combination of elements into builds.
It would be cool if they made a new archetype for double barrel shotgun and we got this reload animation for legendarys! Maybe like adaptive shotguns?!
I always imagined the the Bouble Darrel would enter D2 as a Tex Mechanica weapon, I’m not disappointed with this though, really excited about this gun
When it comes to the reticles: as you said the stasis one is a triangle and solar is a circle.
I believe these are meant to represent dark and light or the pyramid (triangle) and the traveler (sphere/circle) respectively.
Just a nice touch to the theme
I feel like in the next few seasons we may get new weapon perks that allow for instant freeze and ignition. This is the test weapon.
I'm desperate for a weapon that makes it easier to cause ignition. The way that they set up the stacks it just takes too much work to get one of them to proc
Arc doesn't have such obstacle foolishness for blindness and jolt. It's just easier and more effective. And especially void which has every damn power under the sun, and STILL getting more
Not gonna lie Conditional Finality and Duality outta swap names.
If you could hold the reload button to choose which fires first... That would make for some interesting gameplay loops.
I think if it had the same total reload speed but loaded one round at a time it would be a bit better. You wouldn't have to use both rounds to get the ignition if that's what you want. You can cancel the reload early and have a bit more control over how the weapon functions.
interesting stasis reticle is a triangle for the pyramid darkness power and solar reticle is a circle for the traveler light
The more lore we discover surrounding Savathun and the Witness/Disciples, the more convinced I am that we’re going to be reviving her some time this year to become allies, especially now that the Traveler is “dead” or whatever. She has no reason to fight us anymore and she has proven herself as a powerful opposition to our enemies time and time again
When you're on your second shot the weapon's element changes to solar, THAT'S SO COOL!!!!
Catalyst should automatically reload 1 round to the magazine that has strand capabilities of you land majority of both shots pellets
I can't wait for cross to review the neomona weapons. They seem like quicksilver storm dollar Walmart version so I'd like to see what he says about them
THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!!! I wanted an exotic double-barreled shotgun for D2 that functions like the Super Shotgun of the Doom Slayer in mag size AND reload.
AND WE GOT IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS EVEN IF IT HAS 30 RANGE
Let's be honest, the moment anyone said "ACTUAL double barrel breach-loading shotgun" I was already sold. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
Would be cool if the catalyst lets you shoot both barrels off at once, give it a lord of wolves function to it, could be cool
Compared to the last 2 exotics that are underwhelming this one is actually useable for both activities in pvp its basically a saw off shotgun it’s extremely deadly when u are next to a player
The lore sounds like a first hand recollection of his demise and resurrection from the energy of The Traveler
Nice to see that you got it! Was it on the second kill?
This is the 2nd raid exotic I'd like alot I've wanted vex mythoclas for rain of fire build on warlock I'd love to pair this shot with stasis warlock and the new gloves!
I hope if it ever gets a catalyst it adds a strand grappling hook underneath like the meathook from DOOM
The fact that AZTECROSS got the FIRST LOOK at the raid lore, well before BYF even!!! 🙌🙌
Cross must have not slept until now, releasing fresh content after a 12h stream
If it says 5 in the mag, wishful thinking but maybe the catalyst does something like that. E.g. there are also 5 sub class types so maybe we could get the jolt, suppress, unravel as well
I used to hate shotguns but these past few seasons I have been begging for a way to use them against champions. This thing looks amazing and I have to have it 😍
DPS would be crazy if it had 5 in the mag, three shatters and two ignitions in one mag. I'm liking this new trend of raid exotics made with build-crafting in mind.
This would be an amazing gun in a Borderlands game where you are able to integrate several elements into your build. It's a very Borderlands-ish gun.
I like to imagine at some point this thing had 5 rounds for 5 elements
Did nezarac 3x got this gun 3x. Apparently I have good luck with it. I really do want to use it but let's be honest if you're trying to min max your build, using an exotic slot on this regardless of your build will definitely cripple your build. Don't get me wrong I'd love to use it for a solar well build but it's just not as meta and more than likely never will be just because of how situational it is. It's a shotgun that you lose your subclass benefits on as soon as you no longer bave the shot in that element. Not to mention they locked it in as stasis.
Wait so the "pyramid" crosshair is the darkness element and the "traveler" crosshair is your light power? thats such a sick touch.
