What energy weapon, if any, will combine with my actium war rig and sins of the past to make me never reload anything?

I understand sturm and drang kinda do this but I'm talking more about any energy rares or exotics that passively reload, or gain ammo in mag on kill, stuff like that

Alternately, if that's a no go, where can I focus my attention to get a fast reloading energy hand cannon?

Minuet-42 is an energy handcannon with the dropmag perk. Super fast reloading, but you lose any remaining ammo in it when you reload.

Oh, haha, of course. I guess I could run two auto rifles, never really occurred to me. One issue is they dont actually reload from the rig unless out right? So doubling up is less effective?

Edit :Oooo I think I just got one of those minuet guns and this may be exactly what could give me a break from Sun shot.

Outlaw is cool but I flub the headshot under pressure and tilt.

Yup. Also I noticed I run out super quick if I use double ARs, so I suggest something ammo conservative in one of the slots. Something like a manannan sr4, a sunshot, or any decent pulse/scout rifle.

This: If you want a fast loading energy hand cannon, the Outlaw perk is what you want. Really good.

If you hate reloading, there's also those exotic Titan boots that automatically reload SMGs when you return them to your holster. Use two SMGs and you can freely switch between the two, if you don't mind using a fairly mediocre weapon class.

As a heads up, Graverobber has a cooldown on the effect. Free ammo is great, and I've seen 10-14 ammo back depending on what gun I'm using with it. However relying on it is the fast track to running out of ammo faster than ever, particularly when up against stuff that will barely survive a melee attack from full health.

"Oh, I'll just rush in, and alternate between shooting people in the dick and punching them to death!-Why is my magazine empty?"

But keep the cooldown in mind, and it will be a huge help treating it as a bonus rather than something to rely on. And an assault rifle will get more mileage out of it than an SMG thanks to hitting harder per bullet.

Energy handcannon wise, now that I have both, I still prefer the Minute-42 energy handcannon over the Skate. Flared Magwell gives the Minute a reasonable reload speed all the time. While the Skate has the unfortunate situation of having a garbage reload speeds without landing those crit kills.

There are guns that have a nice default reload speed on top of outlaw, such as the Steady Hand kinetic from Iron Banner. But the Skate isn't one of them. You'll really feel the difference when it's time to shoot a bunch of explosive drones with no weak spot, yellow bars, or it's a Strike mission so enemies you are used to one shotting survive with a sliver of health and whoops, your teammates finishing the job doesn't trigger outlaw.

For alternatives if your goal is easy reloads on handcannons. While I do not own it yet, the Strike mission token Daedalus Code comes with 13 capacity, pleasant reload speed, and the auto-reloading holster perk. With your choice of High caliber rounds, or extend magazine.

There are two reasons I keep going back to the Warlock's go fast pants. Not only is the extra speed very handy for a low mobility class, but it's other perk is sprinting reloads energy weapons.

Annual Skate is great because you can read all the reviews about how fast it reloads in the time it takes to reload without a precision kill.

I'm also running this with my war rig though sometimes I'll swap for a Galliard depending on my mood. Either way it ends up not mattering because I'm busy going "kachunka-chunka-chunka" forever with a Halfdan-D.

man i defend bungie as much as anyone but this is a loving terrible argument. vanilla D2 didn’t necessarily have to be the equal of AOT D1 but jesus,

if you can’t see how them launching a game in a state where the response to “vanilla D2 sucks” is “well in a couple of years it’ll be better” is hosed up, you should run for a political office

‘vanilla d1 was bad so it’s fine that vanilla d2 is bad’ is an argument that would barely make sense if destiny 2 a; wasn’t a sequel or b; wasn’t made by the same company, but it’s both of those things so it doesn’t really have much traction with me

New raid content probably is a Cooking demonstration.

You have to scoop up purple stuff to make a healthy eggplant dish and which requires RPG elements.

Your final mission is to make purple drank out of dimetapp and floor residue. You’re gonna need a shovel and at least 30 minutes.
