The Queenbreaker

The QueenbreakerExotic is the new thing Destiny 2: Forsaken, and is a remake of the Queenbreaker’s Bow Exotic from Destiny. It’s an Arc linear fusion rifle with a choice between two kinds of zooms. It can be used with two types of zooms. Marksman SightsIncrease Charge Time, Zoom, and Damage; Combat sightYou can reduce the Charge Time and improve Handling. Exotic Perk: Wire RiflingThe bolts of the gun can cause blindness to targets

In any kind of PvP, the Queenbreaker can be very effective. It can kill Guardians in one shot, even with Combat Sights. This weapon can be used in PvE but is not as good as the Exotic heavy weapons food chain. You should pick up The Queenbreaker if you don’t have it yet.

Ophidia Spathe

It Ophidia Spathe chest piece’s Exotic perk is Scissor FingersHunters can throw up to two knives at a time with the Exotic. The Exotic is quite cool, as knives are always fun in Destiny. It is also quite unique in that it lets you hold two of your melee abilities and grants two additional charges upon recharge.

When combined with the subclass’ unique abilities, you can essentially throw knives constantly. It’s a really fun play style, and definitely worth trying out if you have a Hunter.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 64 total stats.

ADC/0 Feedback Fence

Titan exotics include the ACD/0 Feedback Fence. The gauntlets come with an exotic perk Fury conductorsThis causes melee attacks to increase energy and cause them to die. You can release energy when you are hit by a melee weapon. These gauntlets are very useful for the Crucible, as Feedback Fence received a boost earlier in the year. While there are plenty of other good Crucible options for Titans, don’t let these completely slip past your gaze.

Xur’s roll this week comes with 59 total stats.

Skulls of the Dire Ahamkara

ItSkull of Dire ahamkaraThis week, the Warlock helmet is on sale. It’s a pretty good exotic — although nerfed in Year 3 — and can be devastating when used properly. You get an exotic perk. Actual Grandeur, causes you to take very low damage while casting Nova Bomb — and your Nova Bomb kills grant Super energy instantly.

If you can accurately place your Nova Bomb in a large group of enemies — in PvE or even PvP — you will refund quite a bit of Super energy. It’s a fantastic helmet if Voidwalker is your favorite game (especially since the Void 3.0 updates).
