Unlock THESE Exotics First! (Destiny 2 Beginner Guide)

Thank god jotunn wasn't on the list😂

I started Destiny 2 about 2 and a half weeks ago have a friend that's played since D1 that explained some things to me. I bought witch queen lightfall and fallen light DLC's. Quicksilver was one of the first exotics I got and I still use it now, the combination of unraveling rounds and Strand dmg with the grenade launcher is absolutely insane. On a side note being a new player, I haven't found destiny difficult at all, I've already completed a VOW raid finished lightfall and witch queen on legendary dif finish season of the wish pass already and I am just about to unlock guardian rank 8. My power level is currently 1817

I’m a destiny 1 beta player barely went d2 bcuz dlc is on sale not about to pay full price

This is a good list if they want to have easy access to competitive or endgame content right away, but I’d actually argue that they’re more likely to stick around if they first try out the things that show you how fun Destiny can be. Graviton Lance, Sunshot, T-Lord, maybe Trinity Ghoul. Nothing has quite matched the excitement I had the first time I turned an entire room purple with Graviton, even before the buff 🍇

Jotunn, jotunn, jotunn. Brainless, funny, do it, new lights. Drink the Jotunn koolaid

If you're making this video for newer players or players looking to improve, I think you need to include jötunn. It is undeniably very good in PvP and I think it's only right u include it in the PvP list.

I heard the last word was good, read the abilities, didn't think so, but thought I could give it a try, now I hate it. D1 may have it good, but saying, it's still good in D2 is complete dogshit. Now I wasted a cypher I could have gotten the thorn or the ace. I now hold it as a "dishonorable mention". Everyone should stay away from it, it's almost on par with combined action, and that's on the lower tier

cryosthesia 77k, because if you're gonna play pvp, why not make everyone hate you

After i spend 2 forsaken coins this video show

what about duality for pvp

hey, new D2 player here, thx for the very informative vid :)
What confuses me a bit though is your seperation into f2p and paid options, cause when I look at the Kiosk they all seem to cost pretty much the same (Exotic Cipher, Ascendant Shard and 100-125k Glimmer). Was there maybe a change after your vid came out?

played destiny a little bit ago and either hoard was my go to

PvP rat gang for the win

Is this still good in 20/12/2023?

Note for legend you will need spoils of conquest for.

There’s nothing green about witherhoard rounds

ik this isnt ftp exotic or atleast i believe it isnt but u can get this super early on if u legacy edition which rn is free u can get tractor cannon which is a insane shotgun for heavy arguably best pve weapon

Why not the trinity ghoul? That with catalyst is a pve god tier weapon especially if you naturally run arc

Ace of Spades >> Thorn

I was a day 1 player since beta on D1. I had a group, friends who played and did everything, would carry people through all the raids so they could get the chests and everything. But I haven’t touched D2 since 2020 and I have 675 hours on it but no friends or anyone to play with. So it’s hard playing when everyone has all the new meta guns and stuff and overwhelming to have to relearn everything with these new sub classes and powers

couple things: acreus is 240 spoils (max) to buy, which means that you expect them to have done raids, which means instead of felwinter i recommend found verdict not timelost

I love these types of videos

Yo i think i did the nightfall with you when you were talking about quicksilver, I used le monarque so idk.

Sword was always meta in destiny 1 lol been 8 years now I'm finally trying destiny 2 as cod is lame

In 2023, Destiny 2 is not even worth paying $1 for. If you have a full time job don't bother.

I only have 3 months of experience but I’m a D1 vet. I only have forsaken dlc and got thorn, ace, and bad juju with my ciphers and have sturm with catalyst. I have been making the most out the F2P experience but what dlc do I need to get either hoard or to play trials?

So I am just getting back into the game but I was surprised not to see Xenophage or Black Hammer on here. Are they not the PVE big damage option anymore?

I’m a big procrastinator but I need people to play with I love crucible and getting taught raids 😂

Agers scepter require beyond light
QuickSilver storm require lightfall
Lumina and izanagi’s bruden require forsaken

LMAOOO He didn't recommend izzi, what a fuckin idiot

ngl no duality in pvp section is wild

Meta is a skill issue use what you want

Forgot the Witherhoard timestamp

Cant see how legend of acrius is a good reccomend for noobs since it costs raid spoils...

I would recommend outbreak perfected it's a good starting pulse rifle the only problem is that the catalyst is unattainable at the moment😢

my comment is only for new players as advice. anyone else is free to drop opinions tho

if your looking for a pvp weapon i recommend thorn right now. The caty gives 20 range and 10 stability. With the perk its a potential 2 tap and a potential 3 tap to the body. Its also a HAND CANNON. This is huge because HCs wIll always find their way into the meta. May not be the best choice but they will never be a bad choice. All metas come and go but hand cannons will always be reliable. Hand cannons also pair very well with other weapons ie; sniper, shotgun, and bows. The other choice is Ace if you dont want thorn, i just recommend thorn because if it becomes as good as i think it will Ace will finally have competition for best hand cannon in the game.

You should make two different lists for console cause 120 hand cannons suck or is a lot harder to use

240 spoils for acrius is crazy though

Doesn't acreous need 240 raid spoils? Not exactly beginner friendly

Thorn has been my end goal for my entire journey in Destiny 2. Now with its catalyst, but can get the best Thorn it can be.

still waiting to get heir apparent 😒

Nit free

Legend of acrius is for spoils

Great video! Curious though, after I spend all my forsaken ciphers, can I still access those weapons with standard ciphers?

I had to make a new account since my old one got banned for some reason (played that account since vanilla d2) and it’s even overwhelming with how much I’ll have to do to get back what I accumulated over 7 years. And I’ve been a solo player.

Devils ruin is just god tier in pvp

New Players Go too D1 THEN D2

I finally got whisper of the worm Sniper Rifle

Rat King + Others With Rat King = OP
