Can I get a quick rundown on how double special works? I guess trace rifles are the best option right? Maybe forbearance. And then just witherhoard, a shotgun or sniper or whatever.
Is that about right?

#

Chill clip fusion for champs

#

Though traces are already overload this season

Use a trace rifle in any situation where you’d use an smg or scout rifle

#

Otherwise, run a grenade launcher (mainly Forb) and a situation-appropriate other special weapon

#

Barrier champs? Arbalest and a trace

#

Unstops? Throw on Bastion or Conditional Finality for the flex

#

Too many enemies? Blinding GL and forbearance

I'm a goober i forgot exotics exist

warm spruce
#

Yup, and most of the good ones are special weapons

oblique nexus
#

Yeah arby and conditional finality seem great

#

If you’re running div I’d highly recommend double special with commemoration

#

Whatever you want as your kinetic, div, and then just use commemoration as a “primary” up until dps

oblique nexus
#

Mhm commemoration is great

#

Why even run double special at that point tbh XD

#

If you’re on tractor cannon, you can do slug swaps during damage phases, and for that you swap from a different special weapon to a slug

Oh right ofc

#

More heavy

I honestly don’t like how retraced path feels on Solar warlock, but whenever I run double special I always have ammo back for dps phases

Cuz you could also use the Ron trace

oblique nexus
#

Alrighty thanks a lot @warm spruce ^^

warm spruce
#

Sure the one from RoN gets reconstruction and rewind rounds but both of those kind of suck on what’s essentially a special ammo smg

oblique nexus
#

What does retraced path have?

warm spruce
#

Adaptive munitions which is good for master content

oblique nexus
#

Ngl i do have a crafted one but pretty sure it's at lvl 1 in my vault lul

warm spruce
#

And subsistence which is completely stupid

#

Because scorch counts as weapon kills, kills with incandescent scorch proc subsistence and refill the mag by 9 shots

#

Unless you’re just spamming it mindlessly, you’ll basically never go below half mag

#

It basically feels like pre-buff Prometheus lens as a legendary

oblique nexus
#

Mhm epic

#

If you cause ignitions do those also count? CatThink

warm spruce
#

With scorch from the trace itself, yeah

#

Scorch and Ignitions is weird it counts as a kill with its source

#

Which is why incinerator snap and sunbracers works so well

#

It doesn’t matter all too much just know sub/incan melts through adds like butter

Generally the Loadout is waveframe + single target dmg wep

#

Hold heavy weapon out when using abilities if you need special ammo

Trace rifles are fine but not my cup of tea

#

Good for stuff like spire

#

A slug and a wave would leave U with no way to shoot objectives
