What is the best exotic weapon in the game?

[valid copper]

From your opinion.

[high valve]

risk runner

[summer schooner]

sunshot

or trinity

[buoyant trout]

Debatably GHorn?

Tractor Cannon is also kind of absurd as a dps weapon

Arbalest is incredible role compression

Wish-Ender is an absolutely busted exotic for GM nightfalls but it’s not good anywhere else lmao

Witherhoard is also busted good

There’s a lot of good exotic guns it’s hard to say what’s the best

It all comes down to what you want out of your exotic slot

[main wraith]

he asked for "weapon" SINGULAR NOT PLURAL @buoyant trout

[buoyant trout]

All of those are debatably the best exotic gun

My point is that with the wide variety of exotics and the way they intrinsically fill wildly different purposes there’s no definitive “best” one

[summer schooner]

thats why i answered with favorite instead of best purely based on facts

[agile locust]

I love acrius. It makes me sad how situational it is but its a top contender for dps weapons under the correct conditions

[livid pivot]

Ghally has been meta DPS since it came out, even after numerous nerfs

[buoyant trout]

Conditional Finality, 100 goddamn percent

[buoyant trout]

Rather it makes everyone else deal meta dps, Ghorn is actually a lot worse than legendary rockets in a vacuum

It’s like tractor

[summer schooner]

yeah, but if you have 1 ghorn and 5 legendary rockets it buffs true damage by 80% with wolfpack rounds

[buoyant trout]

Yep

But you as the GHorn user deal significantly less since you only have legendary swap guns and GHorn is bad even if you dump it

Again, it’s like tractor

[trail aspen]

Ticuu's divination always seems to be somthign i come back too, that or quicksilver storm

[worn ermine]

salvations grip goes hard atm

[frosty needle]

osteo striga

[gusty plover]

Izanagis burden

[quaint locust]

Worldline

[frosty needle]

actually there's a website that tracks weapon usage, the current most used exotic is Thunderlord

[gusty plover]

Refuse to believe that

[quaint locust]

you aint real if you run a rocket launcher over tlord

tlord is the only dps weapon you need

[formal birch]

malfeas

[buoyant trout]

Cleanly 2Phased rhulk last night with TLord (I was Div) and I got ColOb

TLord is a real man’s weapon fr

[wind fossil]

there’s too many in the game to say what is best definitively

but i personally like witherhoard, ager’s and trinity ghoul the most

graviton lance is also so awesome too lol how could i forget

[quaint locust]

on a real note, gally is by far the best exotic in the game

[gusty plover]

Theres a reason it's used in almost every damage scenario and a large amount of add clear scenarios

[valid copper]

Currently stuck on the end of that quest to get it.

[valid copper]

Is that the one that suppresses enemy’s so how can it be good at dps if it can only suppress.Or am I not realising something else about it?

[valid copper]

Sunshot is really good

[summer schooner]

its the longest sustainable 35% debuff in the game, and if you run double pellet or double slug depending on the boss you fighting you can output decent damage while increasing your teams damage

[valid copper]

Oh thanks for clearing my confusion about that 🙂

[buoyant trout]

Weakens enemies

Weaken weirdly enough makes enemies take more damage as well as reducing their damage

There’s 3 tiers, 15%, 20%, and 30%

15% is most sources, 20% is a few things I’m blanking on, and 30% is tractor cannon and tether super on hunter

[summer schooner]

there is 20% debuffs?

[gusty plover]

Not that I can think of no

[summer schooner]

there is a 50% debuff, but thats specific to only kinetic weapons

and requires the target to have had a shield

[buoyant trout]

Blight from ToM for all weapons of sorrow

[summer schooner]

not the one in thought of, but thats also one

[burnt fable]

flash counter on swords is 20%, but I doubt you'll ever see it used

[buoyant trout]

There’s a few others it’s weird niche stuff
