    The lmg buffs were a blessing in the beginning of lightfall. I've been enjoying them a lot and use them as "primaries" while being able to run double special. They may not be the best option for dps options but for the rest, they're really solid.

    One thing to make a note of for actual play is how much ammo they have left after the damage phase, retrofit was 3rd (2nd if you don't/can't prime Grand Overture) and it still had around half of its total ammo thanks to Fourth Times compared to the others which were near out, so if you can't find more ammo (or only find a little bit) for before the next damage phase it will still be able to do well.

      Secret ammo economy is what made linears so good for as long as they were.
      Not only were heavies efficient in their own right, when paired with Arbalest you got good backup dps if you ran out of heavy and doubled up on finders. You were never in a situation where you had to plink away with some ad clear weapon.

    While I'm grateful that Sweet Business didn't beat Deterministic Chaos (its a primary vs a heavy it shouldn't have been close to begin with), the fact that even average rolled legendary options beat it out is not good. This gun does not seem like tractor or Div, it doesn't behave entirely like a support weapon so it seems like it needs a buff to hold out with the other options. (also kinda wish terminus horizon got a test in there, I have one with triple tap/target lock and would've loved to see how something similar stacked to the others)

      Thing about target lock, is that you need something to add ammo back into the mag, so that you can take advantage of its perk more. Hell, it won't even reach x5 unless you have a perk that refunds ammo back to the mag. That's the reason why retrofit is very good with 4ttc, since it boosts the actual mag by about 55% (not even considering actium)

    I wonder what the damage number would be like if Cross was actually hitting his crits~
    Divinity applies a debuff to the target and then the bubble is just an extra crit spot but on this Orge, the bubble will be behind/in the Orge's body when it's moving. Cross should have just been aiming at the boss face more since it's literally the same massive crit spot as the bubble. You can see several times during testing Cross was getting two numbers a lot and was mostly getting the low number. Thunderlord could have been way more and Retrofit probably wouldn't have needed the reload in either runs, cause no way adding volatile ruined the damage. (I know Cross says the other run was perfect but that's mostly cause the boss stopped moving in front of the crystal and the bubble was mostly still.)

      It feels great to have machine guns that are viable for damage now. Thunderlord has such good ease of use, and damage with 3 arc surges + jolt. Best part is if you pair it with iterative loop, use that to jolt the boss, you start doing an absolute ton of damage. Yaaa!!

    An old LMG that I'd like to see tested is Shattered cypher, from season of the splicer. Could roll with ALH + Surrounded. Surrounded being a 40% damage buff, and ALH proc (2.5s) being faster than an actual reload could be an interesting prospect in the right fights. Testing here would be ideal, though I don't know if well of radiance would kill the thralls surrounding the player when it is dropped.
    Another option I'd like to see is Thermal Erosion with Demolitionist and starfire, been running this a couple times in RoN and it has been pumping some serious damage. The best part about this, is that you don't depend on witherhoard damage to refund your grenades, so it works even if somebody else is running wither. 2 other competitors to throw into the ring.

It's bad against champs because you need burst damage (and it has no native champion breaking). It's bad with gyrfalcons because it completely nullifies half of the exotic perk.

    I tell you what. Nothing makes me happier in Destiny, than seeing some damage numbers.
    Above all mechanical things in Destiny that we have somewhat mastered, nothing makes us more excited than seeing
    how absolutely broken a guardian can be, with the right weapon in hand.
    These videos not only encourage others to see how balanced/unbalanced some weapons are compared to each other, but it also
    encourages a large majority of players to build around these types of weapons to maximize the damage of certain weapons to their truest
    capabilities.
    I'm glad that these tests are being published sparringly, but I believe that these kinds of tests could be seemingly endless with the amount of combinations, builds, and weapon perks used in combat for that sweet damage.
    What guardian doesn't wanna boast highest dps on a boss encounter every wipe? At least ya know you're putting down what the other's aren't picking up(yet).

    I've used, tested, and thoroughly enjoyed Retrofit Escapade since it came out as an LMG so I really am not suprised at the damage numbers. The buff scales up to 40% damage increase with a 25% average increase evenly spread throughout the mag. However since he used Actium, he KEEPS that high end 40% buff that normally only exists for a couple seconds at the end of the magazine because he keeps firing past 110% of the mag capacity in bullets.
    It's probably the only LMG that can go toe to toe with Thunderlord. I used it in Day 1 Crota against the witch boss because I needed riskrunner as my exotic. I almost matched DPS of my teammates and did enough damage such that I had a well at the start of the phase and a second one by the end of the phase.

    IMO the best thing going for Retrofit, and the reason I use it over all the rest is that in most boss DPS phases you will probably not even get through 2 full mags of ammo. Gives you a lot to work with in later phases, where most other weapons - namely Thunderlord - would be struggling on ammo after any DPS phase.

    Something i noticed whilst playing ghost of the deep with retrofit; Divinity actually reduced the Target Lock dmg; idk if it's because of Div's included dmg bonus; which maybe overlaps the target lock; but even in this video; when u used retro/strand MG; sometimes when u hit the head you dealt 6-7k instead of 4.5-5k on div ball; Like, on my retro i would deal 6k on HS; but 4k on div; so i required/requested that my teammates ran it without div & my damage went up with almost 400k-1mil
    (edit; HS reach 7.3k on retrofit without div)

    I love these damage test videos but they always make me curious about the actual applications of them and pulling off what's needed to reach those numbers. Specifically thinking about the argument for Retrofit + Witherhoard vs. Grand Overture from this video. In a real raid encounter setting of having a good chunk people needing to do stuff such as add clear and mechanics before DPS (G.O. pre-stacking rockets + recovering ammo). Granted, for the Witherhoard combo you would only want 2x ppl on that, but would it be better just to have everyone go G.O., deal with the stacking/recovering ammo, and retain that legendary flex for other stuff, especially in light of how flexible witherhoard is and the ammo economy discussion as well... I guess my point being "optimal" vs. "practical and consistent".
