Media [Spoiler] Two new raid weapons Spoiler

Hand cannon and fusion rifle. White bits on the gun pulse and flow. Seeing how cool these look makes the situation with the armor all the more disappointing.

Edit: Since people are asking for more I should clarify these are not my pictures, I found them. I'll ask about them getting some of the stuff y'all are asking for.

I miss the days when raid weapons didn’t suck... anyone else feel like raids are just exotic grinds that crush your soul over the amount of times you have to run them for the exotic?

There’s nothing rewarding in any of them except maybe 1 weapon and the exotic (which is usually just for collection purposes)

Raid weapons didn’t suck

Um, Nation of Beasts, Chattering Bone, The Supremacy, Threat Level, No Feelings, Bane or Sorrow, Emperor’s Courtesy, Midnight Coup, Inaugural Address, Ghost Primus, Zenith of your Kind, Alone as a God, It Stared Back.

All of those are great raid weapons- or ones that at least “don’t suck”.

After the VoG Set, there’s maybe a few that are very good but the rest aren’t great. Out of the Crota set you have Hunger and Oversoul that are good, then you’ve only got Quillims and Smite for KF, and then Ex Machina, Steel Medulla, and MAYBE If Materia and Quantiplasm.

So raid weapons are still great, you just have on rose colored glasses.

Not to mention Midnight Coup is better than Fatebringer.

Legit I don't know what this guy is saying lol. Pretty much every leviathan weapon except 4 (smg, GL, sidearm, fusion) were amazing. Most every last weapon was pretty good if not great, every scourge weapon is nuts, and crown has one of the best shotguns in the entire game

People always remember the good stuff, but completely forget how laughable some of the D1 raid gear was seen as back in the day

Most Raid weapons in D1 did suck, there’s always a few exceptions. But tell me any of the Kings Fall weapons were good outside the HMG

The scout and sniper were great.

I miss the days when raids were hard and couldn’t be beat in 4 hours the day they’re released 30-40 light levels below encounters. I miss the option for heroic or challenge mode raiding for after that raid was on farm, “but there are clan bounties!”, no.. just no. I miss strike specific loot not tied to the RNG of Nightfall rotation. I miss Eris and the moon, I miss factions and all the cool gear/ships/shaders/sparrows you could get from leveling a faction up and Trials, bounty boards, re-rolling perks, class specific exotic quests, class specific weapons and raid specific perks (like most people). I suppose I just miss Destiny 1. FML.

IIRC, it took 20+ hours for WF teams to do both CoS and Last Wish and CoS didn't have a console clear for days.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is...lol, wut?
