So I had a really good pull between my full first Kings fall run and an oryx Fight.

My Spoils were as follows:

Smite of Merain: Good against taken, not bad in general. very high vertical recoil. Sights are a nice change up, being similiar to Nechrochasm.

Silence of Aarn: Neat Look for a shotgun. Does incredible damage against Taken. Will be good for Raid, specifically at the Warpriest encounter.

Qullim's Terminus: AMAZING. Great stability, low ROF, decent impact. Reminds me of BTRD, however not as good at range. Definitely a saving grace in the raid. Specifically when damaging Ogres, the orb killing Knight, and the Echoes of Oryx in the other dimension.

Armor

Darkhallow Mask: Looks cool. Not as cool as the Year 1 Raid helmets IMO. Love the final perk that orb pickups create a chance for precision damage bonus against taken.

Darkhallow Mantle: Meh, Most class item perks are relatively the same. I do like the design around the hood.

Kingslayer Shell: Imagined this would be a final boss drop, was surprised to get it so soon in the Raid. LOVE the Taken look of it. The wormspore Extractor Perk (wormspore on engram pickup) is great, already have a few stacks of wormspore from that.

Weapons will be great for the raid and Strikes, don't see me using much of them outside of that once I get some replacements. The standout perk for me on all the raid guns is Cocoon. Essentially your guns will reload themselves when not equipped, if you have the ammo of course. Sometimes it doesn't work. If you have 0 bullets in your heavy, then pick up heavy, you have to reload it that first time for it to reload on later pickups. Cyber mentioned that you just have to switch to it temporarily, then switch back, and it should reload. I have yet tested that, but Cyber wouldn't steer me wrong, I hope... This will save you and your team alot of headache in the last segment of the Raid. I almost always forget about the perk and am surprised to switch to a fully loaded LMG that I just emptied a minute ago. The perk only takes about 6 or so seconds to work in my experience.


All in all, I am pleased with my drops, but not impressed. Granted, I am EXTREMELY grateful for getting so many drops. I guess they decided to pay me back for the first 2 Raids. My favorite would probably be the Ghost shell. Qullim's Terminus is great. I am wondering if I will get that Fatebringer/Black Hammer feeling again.

How are the other weapons you guys got? I saw a few people got multiple primaries from the run (jealous).

Can confirm, cocoon works as cyber described.

I just got a Qullim's Terminus yesterday from the warpriest. I like it a lot, even without having unlocked the perks. The art concept for all of the weapons is really interesting. Totally reminds me of the drawings the one weird not-quite-goth kid in art class would draw all day...
