An Answering Chord (Destiny)

by stabbim @, Des Moines, IA, USA, Thursday, October 08, 2015, 04:27 (3574 days ago)

I just wanted to say how happy this gun makes me, and say that I'm a little surprised that I don't see it mentioned much. Maybe no one likes ARs anymore?

The base stats are great except for the stability, which is crap. But the version you can get for a quest reward has Perfect Balance and Injection Mold. With those 2 selected, it's practically a stat-for-stat match with Shadow Price, which is almost universally acknowledged as the best year 1 AR that isn't Suros Regime. The range is actually better. The reload is slightly slower, but it also has 2 more rounds in the mag, so I call it a draw. Plus the ranged scope it comes with is great. The only problem I have with it is that I really doubt any other AR is going to stack up now that I've used this thing. :)

As for the other 2 choices: Apple of Discord is also pretty excellent, IMO. Nothing wrong with Down and Doubt, but I feel like there are probably better hand cannons out there.

Thoughts? Which legendaries out of the new batch have become your go-to weapons?

I got all excited when I saw Red Spectre only to see Answering Chord and one of the Suros armsday guns are kind of much better.

Not to mention my Red Spectre got garbage rolls....

I was digging Hawksaw, but mine doesn't have that max stability I like. I have yet to really find an AR I love. I did unlock Fabian Strategy (exotic) tonight and I was really excited when I got the final perk unlocked, only to realize that its broken :(

I'd have to say my best gun is Hung Jury from Dead Orbit. It works great in both PvE and PvP with max stability and firefly. Or for boss fights you can go extended mag to boost from 16 to 20 and really get your money's worth on the triple tap perk. It also has an excellent set of scopes for close, med, and long range which also highlights enemies. I prefer the medium range sight and I like how it turns red when you get to your last 3 rounds. Pretty cool. I hate that scouts don't hit a little harder though.

I bought the new monarchy AR Righteous VII because it has great stability and a nice 43 round mag, but I don't like it. Still seems too bouncy. I was hoping to find something comparable to my Up for Anything, but it doesn't cut it. I think the range nerf has really killed AR's for me. They are only a tad better up close but past their optimal range they are very weak. They should be, that's their role. I'm definitely a PR and Scout guy now and I'm still looking for the PR that will fit me.

I bought the Hung Jury last night and leveled it up with motes. Used it for about 5 minutes and I'm already in love.

Totally agree, I'm in love with my Hung Jury. I played Sunless Cell strike the other day and got to the end and realized the only weapon I had fired during the whole strike was my scout rifle.

The Dead Orbit AR is really really good if you're looking for an AR. I prefer it with more stability perks, but man, it's a bullet hose in a good way and very effective in both PvE and PvP. Not as good as Hung Jury though, from what I hear.

I was going to mention this gun for red robber as well. It's very similar to UfA. Mine rolled with crowd control, armor piercing rounds, and surrounded, which work very nicely together.

I think you need a stability perk for it to really match UfA, FYI. The way mine rolled, I try to use it up close, so it's fine. But if you're really trying for a UfA replacement, look for it with perfect balance or rodeo.

PVE Hung Jury. PVP Hawksaw for the most part. Also the Suros DIS-43 is nice for PVP, really solid Scout Rifle.

For PvE, the Dead Orbit scout rifle (the version being sold by the vendor) is by far my favorite new gun. For PvP I have a couple new Pulse Rifles that I like, but nothing that matches my Messenger. Still on the hunt :-/

I haven't tried that one, but I am enjoying the Warlock-exclusive exotic scout rifle. It pairs nicely with sunsinger, when you tend to reserve your super.

Raid scout rifle is meh.

I've heard great things about the Warlock scout rifle. Looking forward to it.

The Dead Orbit scout rifle is fantastic. The vendor version has firefly, and perks to give it a 20 mag clip with excellent stability. Medium impact and RoF.

Raid scout rifle is meh.

I'm not a fan of any of the Raid gear so far. I just infused my raid scout rifle in to my Dead Orbit SR to boost it a bit. I'm gonna dump my raid sniper into my Black Spindle as soon as I have enough weapon parts.

Fabian Strategy

by MacAddictXIV @, Seattle WA, Thursday, October 08, 2015, 12:27 (3574 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

I'm truly in love with the Fabian Strategy. It fits so well to my Titan lifestyle.

Pros:
1. It looks awesome, and it's hakke so it sounds awesome.
2. Crowd control, I didn't realize how much I like this perk but it rocks.
3. It's a great medium between High rate of fire and damage.
4. Life Support and Front Lines (when they fix it) is great for a reckless Titan
5. Wrecks in medium to close range

Cons:
1. It's an exotic
2. It chews through ammo, the last time I had to deal with primary ammo issues was with the VoG AR
3. It's a little unstable but not bad for a high RoF AR.

I have it, and I keep telling myself I'm going to use it . . . then I never do. Hard Light was one of the only ARs I ever really enjoyed using, so I'm just in a habit of not using them.

I'm still absolutely in love with my Suros dis-43 that I got from the first Armsday. High Impact with a 19 round magazine, extended mag bringing it to 23. I can shoot that thing forever before reloading, and I love it.

I'm eyeing the Dead Orbit Hung Jury, though, as it looks amazing. It has the same stats with slightly less range and a smaller magazine, but I'll have to look into it's other perks. I've sort of just been hoping to get one from a rewards package, but if I don't soon, I may just bite the bullet and buy one.

The FWC hand cannon is a lot of fun, too. Can't remember what it's called. The Vanity, maybe?

The Vanity is the FWC Handcannon I think. Down and Doubt is the Vanguard one which I like a lot. I got one in a package with Third Eye and Firefly. It feels a little like Fatebringer but the recoil is pretty different. Only 8 shots in the magazine though...

My current go-to on my Hunter is The Ace of Caydes (Spades). I can't describe all about why, mostly because I haven't sat down to think it through in so many words, but it's just a good fun gun that feels powerful and hasn't let me down yet. I wish it had an element though, I sometimes swap Zhalo in when I want to just flatten a crowd. ;)

I am REALLY looking forward to that one. Unfortunately, due to when I started playing (right before a weekly reset) and the fact that I start my Warlock up first, my Hunter is far behind my Warlock on Gunsmith rank. My Titan has almost no rank at all but his exotic is broken so whatevs.

Hmmm... except I like the Titan's legendary shotgun. Crap.

I picked up the Byronic Hero handcannon from the crucible vendor and I'm liking it. Good perks. The only downside is those Seahawks colors.

Single Awoken Titan seeking MIDA Replacement

by someotherguy, Hertfordshire, England, Thursday, October 08, 2015, 13:00 (3574 days ago) @ stabbim

Seriously, I can't find a MIDA archetype to save my life. I'm rolling in VoCs, I can't move for NX Shadows and ToMs, and there's definitely a Gheleon's Demise or two out there, but I can't for the life of me find a MIDA.

At this point Im probably going to run IB with a Max Stability Suros AR or my Imago Loop. Or I might have to fork out for a Bad Juju.

If you have anything to up its range, it's a great PvE primary, IMHO.
