Yeah, having that 600 power primary weapon around means practically any powerful/prime drop you get (other than another primary) is a significant boost. I went from 550-ish to 590-ish in a week once I had Horror Story. Well worth a bit of grinding.

I suck at crucible so bad. I was at .6 kd and I'm slipping even further because I'm trying to line up headshots for ace of spades.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
Ok this is maybe not so useful information, but you can tell which element a Scorn Chieftan is (so it's shield and what totem it will spawn) at a glance, without having to shoot it.

Their helmet is differently shaped, and has the energy glow.

Arc = two vertical rectangles
Solar = horizontal wingalings
Void = a ring of horizontal spikes all around their head

Just thought it was kind of neat. I actually caught myself thinking "hey this dude is arc/solar/void" without seeing their shield and being all, how did I know that?

Twin-Tailed Fox is disappointing and needs cluster-bombs to justify being in the hyper-competitive “Heavy Exotic slot”

I wonder if Exotics come from a Top-Down design (Ok lets make a Ice Laser! Zap Zap!) or a Ground-Up (we need a strong kinetic weapon for clearing trash, maybe with life regen to really push it as a PvE weapon?) and whether or not they are willing to keep things underpowered because they are “ok enough”.

The last exotic pass was really amazing and switched up the game nicely IMO but then I see them release Malfeasance in the same content as Ace of Spades or the disappointing 2TF and I’m like “c’mon you can definitely do better”

Twin tailed fox shoots two full damage rockets for each shot fired, causes DOT with solar and has the same void debuff that tractor cannon has. It's extremely good for walking into a lost sector, pulling your dick out, and spurting all over the boss and adds nearby.

The only reason it doesn't win the DPS game is the reload which sucks but the single shot damage + AoE for explosions makes it really fun and useful.

Sleeper/Whisper are boring as hell to use. Lively up yourself

I got the Antares Ward in a Crucible match but I'm not in the habit of sliding so I have no idea how to use it.

It suppresses rather than debuffs, which doesn't seem to affect aliens all that much, but you still get almost double the damage per shot of any other rocket launcher so whatever.

It also makes the best sound in the game when you shove a new pair of rockets into the tubes.

Speaking of Forsaken exotics, I just got my third one yesterday: Gwisin Vest. Does it make the Spectral Blades super much better/more fun to use? I've been having fun running with Orpheus Rig lately so I didn't try it out yet.

Lol no.

To be fair, I did get one Forsaken Exotic.

The Spectral Blade chest that extends your super when you go invis after kills.

It is maybe the worst Exotic I've ever played with. To actually extend the super meaningfully, you have to get one kill then very quickly another kill with the invis flip. It's turbo mega poo poo.
