I Played The Final Shape. The Wildest Exotic Is...

what up you nerds my name is Fallout and

yeah the title is true as of today I am

no longer under embargo and will be

putting up one of four short videos

between today and tomorrow showing and

talking about exclusive footage I was

allowed to record of me playing the

final shape big shout out to Bungie of

course for inviting me to this very

small event I really appreciate it and

be sure to ring the notification Bell on

the channel because trust me you don't

want to miss the other upcoming videos

today we're talking about new Exotics

and yeah you've probably seen some of

these on Twitter or wherever already but

I got handson footage baby and I'm

excited to tell you a lot of stuff that

you don't know from the previews alone

we're going to go in no real order at

all check the timeline down in the video

if you want to jump ahead to armor but

if you want to see the Exotic I'm most

excited about that'll be at the very end

of the video first up and one I've been

dying to talk about the still hunt

sniper rifle aka the golden gun sniper

rifle one of the first weapons I tested

during my time visiting Bungie the

Exotic perk reads Cades retribution pick

up orbs of power or land Precision hits

to charge this weapon's super bar when

full long press your reload button to

fire golden gunshots we also have two

unique weapon perks first Sharpshooter

this weapon gains passive bonuses to

Target acquisition aim down sight speed

and Flinch resistance the bonus improves

when the weapon super mode is active

also golden Munitions this magazine

gains bonus ammo whenever a golden gun

shot is acquired I got to tell yall this

weapon is awesome and I'm really looking

forward to bringing it into PVE content

like GM nightfalls or any solar surge

activity in game when picking up orbs or

Landing sniper headshots you charge the

bar which you can see in the bottom

leftand corner of your HUD by the way in

any footage I showed today take a look

at the HUD footage in the bottom left

hand corner they cleaned up the HUD and

it looks really good anyway if you get

six sniper crit shots you will fully

charge the Golden Gun meter which is not

bad at all you get less meter from

grabbing orbs of power I believe 12 orbs

in total will fill the meter and you can

mix and match too meaning if you got

three head shot with your sniper and six

orbs of power you should be able to fill

the bar but yeah considering how easy it

is to generate orbs of power right now

in D2 you can get a lot of mileage out

of this weapon one question I saw

popping up on Twitter a lot when the

preview of the weapons dropped does this

work with Celestial Nighthawk I wanted

to jump in so badly with a reply because

I had the exact same question and can

confirm that yes it does normally the

gun fires three shots when you activate

Golden Gun mode but with Nighthawk

equipped you get one shot that does mega

damage absolute godamn fire regarding

the golden Munitions perk fairly

straightforward if you activate regular

Goldie mode you get three shots back

into the mag and if you have Nighthawk

you get one shot back in the mag as with

pretty much every exotic we're going to

talk about today I don't really know

exactly how to get this exotic but I'm

definitely going to hard recommend you

grab it even if you're not a hunter and

therefore can't equip Nighthawk although

yeah extra high priority if you are a

golden gun Hunter activate it and spank

some dumb Champion or mini boss

immediately for free or maybe use it at

the beginning of a DPS phase and hit a

boss with two Nighthawk golden guns one

regular one from your sniper before

continuing with regular heavy weapon

damage output so much fun to play around

with cannot wait to use it in the final

shape next up the microcosm exotic Trace

rifle our very first heavy Trace rifle

and oddly as I'm sure you know from the

preview this thing is kinetic first ever

kinetic heavy weapon exotic perk

paracausal beam fires a beam of Kinetic

light dealing massive bonus damage to

Shields that is actually quite handy

because by Design kinetic weapons deal

more damage to unshielded enemies

meaning that both with this perk and by

being kinetic microcosm deals good

damage to both shielded and unshielded

enemies you also have paracausal

imbuement final blows with this weapon

grants super energy this weapon gains

bonus damage when your super expires if

you're wondering yes I do did have

enough time to quickly test that out I

know pretty God damn funny that I got to

record footage of new content at Bungie

and a lot of it is here at Carl the

cabal I promise you I will have nonc

Carl final shaped footage in my other

videos when activated paracausal

imbuement last for 20 seconds a really

long time and the extra damage output

seems to be around 20% reminder all

these numbers are subject to change

between now and the final shape but

that's what it was for me now admittedly

there will be naysayers and I do get it

while this gun mows through trash like

you wouldn't believe I don't know if

it'll be a big time DPS type weapon that

can hang with burst damage Kings however

microcosms biggest Advantage is

something listed nowhere on the weapon

in the new Prismatic subclass system in

order to activate Transcendence which is

incredibly strong by the way you first

have to build up both a light and dark

meter on your HUD if you have both a

light and dark weapon equipped that you

swap between a lot you might build up

the bars pretty evenly but there will be

times where you build up one bar bar way

faster than the other kinetic weapons

feed both bars at the same time though

and with how efficient microcosm is at

Burning through enemies it is extremely

handy at getting you Transcendence at

lightning quick speed right now I'm

thinking for PVE content where you're on

the way to a boss encounter like for

example maybe the relay race Encounter

of The Vow raid burn through everything

and get your Transcendence faster more

on Prismatic in another video by the way

but short version good Lord next up the

kastav kinetic Auto rifle I'm going to

be real I was not expecting to like this

gun as much as I did exotic perk the

right choice every seventh bullet from

this weapon deals additional damage and

Ricochet to nearby Targets on top of

that unique trait eyes up Guardian

collecting orbs of power strengthens

this weapon's next several Ricochet

shots providing more damage and more

bouncing between targets as you can see

the gun also comes with shoot to loot

meaning the gameplay loop with kastav is

incredibly straightforward step one kill

a bunch of enemies and make sure you

have a Connect itic siphon Mod on your

helmet ensuring you generate a lot of

orbs of power step two shoot an orb of

power via shoot to loot on the gun step

three continue shredding trash even

harder with your now buffed up Ricochet

shots from the limited time I was able

to play kastav felt like an absolute

Workhorse of a weapon like the micras a

huge benefit of the kastav is that it's

kinetic meaning it'll be able to evenly

charge your Transcendent light and dark

meter at the same time depending on how

hard exactly this weapon will be to

acquire when the final shap drops I want

to get it as soon as I can to help me

get through the campaign again was very

much shocked at how effective and fun

the weapon was in PVE the Ricochet

damage is just straight up free extra

crowd control one more weapon before we

jump over to exotic armor a blast from

the past Red Death exotic perk

Redemption final blows with this weapon

cure you and increase reload speed

reloading after final blows cures nearby

allies you also have inverse

relationship when you deal damage with

this weapon it gains increased handling

takes reduced Flinch and movement speed

is increased for a short time while

you're at reduced Health the weapon

deals additional damage good God what a

weapon perk I played very little PVP

during my time at Bungie which not a big

surprise there was a lot of things to

see and very little time to record in

the one match where I did throw on the

Red Death for a few minutes it felt

exactly the way I hoped it would hit

really hard and the Damage numbers

indicate that it definitely is capable

of two- tapping someone if you have

perfect aim and catch them out in the

open I do worry about the health regen

factor in PvP as anything in PvP that

allows you to regen Health can

potentially become a nuisance I.E worm

husk Crown original Phoenix dive Etc but

I'm not going to worry too much yet

about red death completely dominating

the PVP meta as is an exotic meaning

people would have to choose between that

and their beloved conditional finality

quite the conundrum regarding the extra

damage from inverse relationship don't

panic it seems minor didn't have time to

test but regular headshot damage on the

gun in PvP is 41 per bullet and during a

brief moment when I died while shooting

I hit a shot for 43 meaning maybe around

a 4.5% damage buff something in that

ballpark expect it to just push out your

damage drop off a little bit but having

it baked right into the gun is really

handy I used red death very briefly in

PVE and with the pulse rifle changes

that were baked into the version of the

game that we played it was fun hit like

a truck and I may give it a whirl for

the health regen factor for myself and

nearby teammates but that being said I

think it was made specifically for PVP

all right let's talk exotic armor

starting with an exotic I did not put

enough respect on when it was announced

on Twitter the metod doxia thinking

about it now I probably should have

asked somebody at Bungie on how to

correctly pronounce the name of that

exotic anyway the original preview on

Twitter said Arcane needles cause a

suspending detonation and in the video

we see an ogre getting hit by all three

needles before getting suspended same

thing for the hive Knight that followed

immediately after my original thought

was wow you have to use all three of

your melee charges to get a suspension

what a garbage fire exotic but the full

exotic text is way more detailed targets

that are damaged by Arcane needle emit a

suspending detonation when defeated so

just to clarify before even finishing

that sentence if you hit an enemy with

just one needle and then kill them with

any weapon boom suspending detonation

already that is so much better than what

I thought it was reading on Landing

multiple Arcane needles on the same

Target immediately triggers a larger

more powerful detonation defeating

suspended targets Grant melee energy and

your Arcane needles are strong on

barrier Champions because you only need

to damage an enemy with one needle then

kill them to get a suspending detonation

and you get melee energy back for doing

so this is actually kind of a really

free ad clear exotic with the right

build crafting it could be an incredibly

easy suspend everything in the room

build and because Arcane needle is on

the table for prismatic this can work

with Prismatic warlock or strand on top

of that because this is good on barrier

Champions if you have a suspend grenade

this exotic chest piece and a fusion

rifle with chill clip congratulations

you can now solo handle every type of

champion in the game this might be one

of the first Prismatic builds I try to

figure out on warlock playing with it

was damn satisfying to the point where I

kind of feel bad for blasting that

exotic so hard on Twitter when I first

saw it next up The Wishful ignorance

Titan gauntlets which look insanely cool

designed wise I mean exotic perk wish

dragon's Talons gain an additional

frenzied blade charge frenzied blade and

flet storm briefly increase their damage

with each strike Pulses from your banner

of War return melee energy based on the

number of allies healed unfortunately

that second part wasn't really something

I could actively test while at Bungie

hey y'all I know we have extremely

limited time to play pre-released final

shape content but who wants to you know

join a private lobby and test the return

on melee energy Factor on The Wishful

ignorance anybody anybody at all but

yeah the other stuff is straightforward

the numbers on Wishful buff to the

frenzy blade seems to be as follows 20%

extra damage for your second melee 50%

for your third and plus 100% damage on

your fourth combined with what Bungie

has shown us we're capable of rolling

with on Prismatic Titan AKA melee heavy

aspects like knockout and consecration

combined with recent patch notes

mentioning how both of these are getting

buffed in PVE and go ahead and add this

exotic with the frenzy blade melee on

top you might be able to smack enemies

really really hard in the final shape

again a lot to talk about with Prismatic

in an upcoming video unfortunately flet

storm does not seem to be on the table

for prismatic Titan at the moment but

the buff damage to that was also pretty

respectable short version is I'm really

interested in seeing if some Min maxing

boss cheesing Shenanigans can somehow

get squeezed out of Prismatic Titan and

these gauntlets but I need to spend a

little bit more time with them first

next the balance of power Hunter exotic

leg armor exotic perk Double Down your

threaded Spectre has increased duration

and durability and damaging it releases

additional thread Lings while near your

threaded Spectre you do not appear on

the radar this one is interesting and

I'm really looking forward to using it

in PvP and you should too if you're a

strand Hunter main especially after that

ins snaring slam Nerf sorry frostbolt

anyway when dropping a spectre with this

exotic you'll be able to see two little

green orbs kind of floating around and

orbiting the Spectre each one

representing one additional thread Ling

shooting the Spectre a tiny bit at a

time will cause the threadings to come

out one at a time but if you just

destroy it outright Four come out total

two from the base Spectre and two from

the additional thread Lings you could

definitely use this in PVE but I'm

thinking this will be really mean in PvP

bait enemies on the radar let them run

into it or destroy yourself and give

them the four worm salute

straightforward but devious next the

Warlock exotic helmet speaker sight nice

little shout out to a character I

genuinely kind of forgot existed exotic

perk the lost voice healing grenades

spawn a restorative turret healing

allies occasionally spawns an orb of

power the healing turret is literally

exactly what you think it is ever use

the edge of intent exotic glaive same

thing except now you get all the fun of

the healing turret without needing to

use a glaive apologies to the 13 glaive

Ms out there I offended with that joke

all in all not bad the turret lasted for

around 14ish seconds and was able to

fire out five tracking healing shots in

that time I do think I personally might

rather lean into more offensive options

for endgame PVE content but there's

definitely potential here especially in

encounters where maybe there's no big

DPS check and your fire team's main

problem is just staying alive also don't

forget the ability to occasionally spawn

orbs of power via healing your allies

depending on how generous that is being

able to spawn orbs via healing your

allies this could be a viable part of a

spawn a ton of orbs of power type build

again I do like to build into offense

but I'm going to keep this exotic nearby

just in case next the hunter exotic

chest armor gifted conviction exotic

perk the gift of certainty activating

Ascension or Tempest strike throws

bouncing explosives at nearby Targets

that jolt and damage them jolting nearby

Targets grants you damage resist I'm

going to be completely honest looking

back on my time playing pre-release

final shape my biggest regret is not

spending more time fiddling with this

exotic again time was short and we had

so much time in front of us there was no

way we were going to get every question

answered I can say with a lot of

confidence that the first part of gifted

conviction to me right now is kind of

okay cool but not mindblowing throwing

out little free explosions and jolting

nearby enemies on command yeah that is

cool but we do have other ways to jolt

enemies that don't require the use of

your class ability the really

interesting thing to me though is that

second part jolting nearby enemies

grants incoming Dr looking through my

footage I seem to get a lot of resist

time 2 if that's the same level of Dr

you get as the Stag which also gives

resist time 2 that that would mean

gifted conviction gives you plus 25%

incoming Dr which if you think about it

is kind of great literally free Dr for

just using your Hunter Dodge I might use

that for some solo content down the line

here's a big question I don't yet have

the answer to though it doesn't say

jolting nearby Targets via Ascension or

Tempest strike it just says jolting

meaning in theory if you were jolting

everyone in the room with something like

an eolos SMG with volt shot and that

alone was flat out giving you incoming

Dr that would make this armor actually

pretty spicy for endgame PVE content as

that might mean NeverEnding free Dr

there's testing I need to do when final

shape drops but here's what I do know

right now the Dr value seems to stack

depending on the number of enemies

jolted or hit and the overall duration

seems to be about 10 seconds which is

actually kind of nice it does seem that

the Dr timer won't be extended or reset

if you jolt enemies after it's already

been activated which kind of makes sense

as that would be very broken but again

stay tuned when the final shape launches

if you can proc that damage resist on

any jolt at all my rating on this armor

is going to go up by a lot finally we

come to the Exotic that I'm probably the

most interested in at launch the

Hazardous propulsion exotic perk danger

close weapon Precision hits or final

blows have a chance to load a kinetic

Exodus rocket activating your class

ability fires loaded Exodus Rockets

damaging targets with Exodus Rockets

temporarily increases the damage you

deal with all other Rockets right at the

gate holy this exotic is fire the

chance to load a kinetic rocket after a

headshot or final blow is very high

going into a law sector to get buff

numbers I filled up on Rocket charges

very quickly each and every time you max

out at six and when you launch them

their tracking is very good and their

damage on their own is respectable I hit

Carl at 31,8 45 damage a piece for a

grand total of 191,000 70 damage for the

record that is more damage alone than

the buffed rocket I used to actually

shoot at Carl which was

11,867 damage so basically every few

moments as a Titan you can just fire a

Rock Solid amount of damage during

combat completely for free but let's

talk about the part where damaging

targets with Exodus Rockets temporarily

bumps up the damage you deal with all

other rockets in firing a regular truth

rocket at Carl I dealt around

87,3 n damage at Max Exodus Stacks my

buffed rocket then hit Carl for

11,867 damage meaning if the numbers

don't change at launch of the final

shape this exotic Buffs your outgoing

rocket launcher damage by 35% at Max

stacks for 10 seconds again didn't have

the time to test as much as I wanted but

I'm going to assume slh hope that

because this is exotic armor that buff

might stack with empowering Buffs like

radiant which would be really

interesting by the way I did also get to

test this with Galler horn and from what

I can tell it does seem to buff the

damage of Wolfpack rounds to my hope is

that if a teammate using ghorn gives

your legendary rocket launcher wolf pack

rounds and you activate this exotic

armor your rocket and wolf pack rounds

will all get upped by

35% at maximum stacks for 10 seconds I'm

telling you with a fair amount of

confidence that this exotic is very much

going to be a thing oh and I in on the

cake I don't have footage of it but a

Creator friend of mine also at the event

told me that he tested it with rocket

sidearms and the buff applies to those

two meaning one of my favorite PvE

weapons ever the indebted kindness in

theory is going to get buffed by this

exotic God damned insane again ring the

notification Bell because I got more

final shape preview content coming today

and tomorrow and you don't want to miss

it let me know your thoughts down below

and swing by my live stream if you have

any questions I can talk about now that

the Embargo is over thanks very much for

watching peace
