I had no idea they changed Bastion, I literally just a week ago was like "I wish we got a Bastion catalyst so i could use it more" And they literally made it an exotic that has Trench barrel/Controlled Burst and One Two built in. Literally my play style for the last 3 years has been "Try to punch it first". I appreciate this video and whatever dev remembered Bastion was in the game again after the Unstoppable addition.
Bastion essentially has unlimited trench for like 10 secs after a melee hit which is epic and if you land most of the pellets in even 1 burst you get double uncharged melee dmg(not powered unfortunately)
It’s def worth using. I’ve been using it for over week and it feels so good. After a melee hit you can switch to a one-two punch shotgun then grapple melee. Since the bastions one-two is 3 seconds you have time to swap to shotgun
Yes i’ve loved bastion since i came back to d2 a few months before the pvp nerf , i loved it in pve and pvp ( fusion main here ) i needa use it now after watching this wtf
Every couple patches they give a massive buff to the rat king and still no one uses it so for me and the other 17 people who use it are eating GOOOD. But fr this is like the 4th time it’s gotten a 20% flat dmg buff and it’s hitting like a truck Also it feels so insanely good to control the recoil now, you can actually see the crosshair
I totally want to use it but when i ask my teammates (mostly lfg) do you have rat king? They will said "no i dont" someone even ask "rat king, is that exotic" this is hurt ngl, as someone who do first levi with rat king team
used it on day 1 1st encounter w gyrfalcon and my trio had absolutely no problems w ads, the only titan on the fireteam was actually mad he rarely could slam dunk the rooms
I haven't broke it out yet to test it in actual hard content. But for on level content, the change/buff to Cerberus +1 is actually legit noticeable. Not to mention the focus fire mode duration refreshes whenever you get kills. So you can conceivably keep the high dps mode going if you're chaining kills with it. Again tho not totally sure or confident about whether or not it can kill anything in proper hard content.
You should also check out the final stand, the strand lock on sidearm. It refunds ammo based on locked-on kills and buffs damage as well. Was great before now I can’t put it down
Really appreciate the deterministic chaos change. I really love the look and feel of the gun, and really want it to be the Void Thunderlord. Itll still need a catalyst for it to be anywhere close it terms of dps im sure, but simply swapping the debuffs procs make it so much better. Volatile for trash, weaken for the big guys.
Now I’m just waiting for Bungie to change exotic archetypes to match with new weapon frames. I want to see Crimson be a (2 burst) Heavy Burst HC and Vigilance Wing become an Aggressive Frame.
Would at least allow them in some sort of content. Red death now overshadows crimson. And vigilance is gonna be left behind cause there’s not really anything exotic about it lol
More volatile explosions and the final 4th burst weakens the target. Honestly it needed that, cause before it just weakened on every 4th bullet, which was just redundant and didn't stack.
I still feel like Eriana's and Deterministic chaos need help. Eriana's only igniting on a matched shield or barrier kinda stinks, and Deterministic is still buns because if people want a weaken they'll just get their local void hunter tether instead of sacrificing both their exotic and heavy slot for a pile of junk.
Bastion was always one of my favorite exotics but it just lacked functionality after they removed chip damage. But now its fantastic once more, and thanks for crunching the numbers 👌
One For All is an ok perk for a catalyst but doesn't fit the identity nor the playstyle of current Necrochasm. If it was Age of Triumph Reprised Necrochasm in that all final blows precision or not would trigger the cursed thrall explosion then One For All would be a God Tier catalyst perk since the reliance for accuracy would be gone and hitting multiple targets with a cursed thrall explosion wouldn't be too hard making uptime for the perk high but currently Necrochasm's entire weapon identity is just a spicy version of Dragonfly that can do DoT with Necrotic Grips and has too much of a focus on precision which makes getting One For All feel like either you're going out of your way to get it or getting it by pure luck after a precision kill because multiple ads were standing near your target.
They ruined Osteo Strega, and i hate it, i have a build that does double damage to enemys, and now Bungie ruined it. THANKS BUNGIE FOR FUCKING UP MY BUILD!
Cerberus rework makes no sens i liked the alt fire mode in pvp now i need a kill thats almost impossable in the meta at the momet so it is really trash now if i would be anti camp stuff i would understand that but its makes no sens at all it a trash weapon now

@@titanxx9that sounds highly not worth it meaning youd have to run double special for cqc only or swap weapons which is finicky for most
I really like using it with a solar Felwinters Helm build. With the buffs it is just straight up unfair

Wow, Colony is now capable of maybe killing a red bar?

Its probably cuz at the end of the day. No one rlly wants to use a primary sidearm outside of pvp say for rhe select few
@@NEWGHOST9 Final Warning is s tier
I love rat king but can never find anyone to run it with me. The few times I have grand master content has been a breeze
Also never found someone to help me u lock the stupid catalyst still have it sitting at like 11%😢
I like the sound rework for Cerberus. Makes it sound more like a gun cobbled that’s made of junk
The chain robots from colony are honestly really good for wiping rooms as you can just spam into a wall and barely aim
used it on day 1 1st encounter w gyrfalcon and my trio had absolutely no problems w ads, the only titan on the fireteam was actually mad he rarely could slam dunk the rooms

This might be juicy with Actium War Rig
I still want kinetic tremors for Cerberus 😢
This would be a little broken( I need It)!

Did they JUST nerf Osteo ? I used it most of my campaign play through and was still getting burst ?
Osteo nerf outch
If you pair it with Necrotic Grip (or spirit of necrotic on the class item) it's like the nerf never happened :)
@@Spooqi i.e. the old effect now costs your exotic armor slot

Great info i actually didn’t know about erina vow but after the video i’ll make sure to use it

so deterministic chaos is the exact same, just swapped which perk did which debuff?
More volatile explosions and the final 4th burst weakens the target. Honestly it needed that, cause before it just weakened on every 4th bullet, which was just redundant and didn't stack.
So the old ones automatically upgrade to these?
Omg I love videos like this, before and afters are always so fun!
Cerberus +1 is insane now
Now here is the good testing I have been yearning for. I unfortunately cannot play the game as much as I want to, so this showcase really does wonders
Bro osteo was murdered. There is 0 reason to pick that over sunshot or trinity
BTW the Cerberus is bugged rn I think it says its supposed to do more dmg but the dmg doesn't change it just gets a tighter spread
Finally made rat king viable
Do a build with the carian sorcery sword. I want to know if it's bugged or somehow just good by itself
I think you got the wrong vid 😔
@specterr3177 haha I must been thinking about elden ring

Great video!

Did it have chip damage ? Like damage through shields ?
@@vincentroyoshea2315 when it came out ya, but I think they removed it when they gave it unstoppable
Great video. I love some of these changes
Bastion is finally stronk 💪 af
Rip osteo
These chnages are actually great
Cerberus is a must use.
Good showcase

A tip: use necrotic grips, if you tag a target with poison damage first, any kill with necro will blow em up
literally why nerf osteo
They killed osteo :(
I don’t like osteo nerf
Lol they really nerfed cerberus
…You mean buffed
They ruined Osteo Strega, and i hate it, i have a build that does double damage to enemys, and now Bungie ruined it.
THANKS BUNGIE FOR FUCKING UP MY BUILD!
Bastion is gonna be a sleeper hit. I’m betting it’s good for boss damage now
Weaken debuff on a machine gun? Sick.
Really good synergy with seasonal artifact mods: void hegemony, expanding abyss, and shield crush too
Cerberus rework makes no sens i liked the alt fire mode in pvp now i need a kill thats almost impossable in the meta at the momet so it is really trash now
if i would be anti camp stuff i would understand that but its makes no sens at all it a trash weapon now
Colony is still pure garbage unfortunately
I hate the new ceburus
rat king got nerfed old animation looked cooler especially when u had the perk but with the new one u can see the target
Buffed r u high
Buffed wtf what is bro yapping about
Ikr? How I more controll a nerf@@ravenholdt8487
Oh cool so a whole lot of nothing
I’m using bastion since day one🫡♥️ it’s cooking
