Knucklehead Radar vs Alpha Lupi, I can't decide (Destiny)

by Jironimo ⌂, Friday, September 26, 2014, 14:08 (3505 days ago)

I got a big decision to make and I don't know which way to go so I need your help. I'm going to buy my first Exotic armor item and I believe I've narrowed it down to two options for my Hunter. What do you guys think? Even the looks of one over the other could sway me at this point.


Knucklehead Radar (available now via Xur)

Unique Upgrade
- SENSOR PACK - Radar remains visible while aiming Primary Weapons.

Upgrades
- LIGHT THE BLADE - Causing damage with a grenade reduces your melee cooldown.
- INVERSE SHADOW - Increased Super energy gained from killing minions of the Darkness.

Pros
- The unique upgrade is good in both PvE & PvP.

Cons
- I prefer the look of my current helmet.
- I’m not that interested in the first two upgrades.
- Would I stand out more with that hologram on my face in PvP?

Crest of Alpha Lupi

Unique Upgrade
- KEEPER OF THE PACK – You revive fallen teammates faster and they revive you faster. Your Super also spawns additional orbs for teammates.

Upgrades
- AUTO RIFLE AMMO – Increases the amount of Auto Rifle ammunition you can carry
- SPECIAL WEAPON AMMO - Increases the amount of Special Weapon ammunition you can carry.

Pros
- I like the normal ammo upgrades much better.
- Exotic chest gives you a bit more incremental defense than an Exotic helmet.

Cons
- Would Keeper of the Pack be any good in PvP?
- Is it that useful to revive quicker, it seems fast already?

I would imagine Keeper of the Pack would be best in Raid. From what I've heard of it, even being able to respond one second faster would be a big benefit.

That's what I'm going for. Plus it looks so cool. I wish there was something similar with a snake head instead of a wolf.

I would buy it if I could change the color.

Very yes, it's great for PvP. If you play Salvage and Skirmish that is. I use a Warlock helmet that has the same ability. The extra speedy revival means I can get up teammate mid-firefight and often turn battles in our favour.

Then of course, as mentioned, it's great for Strikes and the Raid.
