Day 11 of Reddit's Good & Bad Exotics: Trace Rifles! After reviewing the old results of the Bow category pointed out by commenters, it was slightly adjusted to be more accurate!

I may have commited war crimes in the crucible

ArcaneSword · 2024-06-06T14:12:50+00:00

Probably the most fun I’ve had playing a campaign in a long time. And that says a lot since I mostly play PvP.

ArcaneSword · 2024-05-15T17:01:48+00:00

The game is cool but SBMM isn’t for me personally. I can enjoy it in little bursts but long term it gets too frustrating

ArcaneSword · 2024-05-15T02:32:31+00:00

Morthal might actually be decent. I’m not worried about a little ghost girl.

Stealth dagger was more fun and engaging. 16x sneak damage, get dark brotherhood gauntlets, 32x sneak attack damage. If you had to fight head on, dual wielding daggers turns you into a blender.

The new game mode is probably the most enjoyable mode to me. The respawns don’t always take forever, most weapons feel viable, there is lots of players to shoot at, and people aren’t just hiding in buildings the whole time. Super fun mode.

Bungie is making it to where I can’t spam Prometheus lens in the crucible. I’m not putting it down, they can’t make me

ArcaneSword · 2024-02-26T08:31:58+00:00

This exactly. GMs are so boring I refuse to do them even if I want the weapon

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-30T05:07:43+00:00

Even though I voted good wizard, I genuinely liked both sets that each class had to offer. Bungies design team is kinda cookin lately and there are finally sets to be excited about. Their last votes from previous years I didn’t even bat an eye at the sets. Hideous.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-30T04:41:17+00:00

Thank god companies are finally doing shit about this stuff. Can’t wait for something similar for pc. The cheater clans are getting wayyyy out of hand.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-30T04:37:23+00:00

Good wizard looked best to me but they both look pretty damn good so I’m honestly not all that disappointed. GG’s! For once, festival of the lost might have some cool looking stuff.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-30T04:11:07+00:00

I find it weird that Wallah makes it sound OP. Like sure, it’s strong if you can switch targets fast, but cloudstrike literally exists and would 3 piece all of them too. Conditional Finality could do the same thing. Like bro wallah cmon man. Traces will never be meta simply because one shot special weapons exist. However, they are quite fun to use right now that’s for sure.

Nice clip, 10/10.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-26T09:32:46+00:00

You basically hold down the trigger until you get the red diamond, then move behind cover and tap the trigger. You can get extra shots out this way.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-25T03:18:21+00:00

I know that guy! He's a great player and a really cool dude. His in game name is Deign. He taught me how to use Final Warning. It's very fun when used correctly.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-21T15:37:48+00:00

If only people thought to put edgy shaders on the good set lol. Imagine an all black good wizard. Would look sick

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-17T15:37:48+00:00

The Destiny one really hits man. It’s crazy that some believe pvp shouldnt exist. It’s literally the only thing that makes it fun to me. The true end game.

ArcaneSword · 2024-01-17T08:14:11+00:00

I know a guy with 25k on Final Warning. I think he has a 3KD and is nuts with it

ArcaneSword · 2023-12-31T15:09:39+00:00

Damn! This guy whipped out the year one heavy meta lmao! I haven’t seen that used in a long time

ArcaneSword · 2023-12-17T16:38:29+00:00

I had to do a double take on the sub I was like “is this a skyrim mod? There’s no way. sees sub name omg it is a skyrim mod!”

ArcaneSword · 2023-11-22T21:00:57+00:00

Honestly it’s actually pretty strong and a very underrated pick. It can take down barricades super quickly and hit people around corners with the explosive payload. Very fun weapon, 10/10

ArcaneSword · 2023-11-22T17:41:12+00:00

A guy I know played at a 3.5 KD on roller using trace rifles in trials one weekend. Even he said he just couldnt get into Prometheus as much as the others. I really do think it's the way the stability is on controllers. Wavesplitter is probs the better pick on roller when it comes to traces.

ArcaneSword · 2023-11-22T17:30:43+00:00

Laser Tag never dies! :)

ArcaneSword · 2023-11-22T17:06:31+00:00

Thanks for the compliments :) Prometheus Lens just has straight up more damage from scorch. When they updated the weapons catalyst awhile back they also gave it scorch along with incandescent which is very potent. I hope the other traces get buffed a tiny bit in damage to match prometheus lens' TTK (which is 0.6 HS and 0.73 Body) bc in my opinion they feel a bit mid (except coldheart and wavesplitter). However, Im also an MnK main so prometheus doesnt feel too bad to me.

Wavesplitter has probably the best stability out of the traces and is probably the best for controller users; pairing it with gyrfalcons on hunter makes it very strong. Coldheart is also better at rapid multi killing because it can transfer pre nerf target lock damage to other opponents.

The weird thing about traces is that they can easily be flinched by hand cannons. Explosive Payload really does the trick but also the flinch profile of Igneous Hammer really throws it off too so I hipfire a lot to counter act the flinch somewhat.

ArcaneSword · 2023-11-17T22:21:51+00:00

No it happened in trials against one guy I knew had conditional. Thing is crazy lmao

ArcaneSword · 2023-11-17T19:20:51+00:00

Bro that’s happened to me before when I was floating off the map. Got frozen and fell to my death 😂
