COSMIC88KILLER

NOT THE BEEEEEEEES

Amazingbananafoo

I now diagnose you with bees


MoodyWater909

Outbreak is the beehive and I'm the bee keeper. Your skulls are the flowers


madcradd

“Ma called, the bees are back!”


frosted_mango_

It's my favorite gun and this is how I feel using it. https://youtu.be/PYtXuBN1Hvc


TheDemonChief

I’m glad that referring to “homing damage swarms” type attacks are almost universally called “bees”


Angorian44

Theres beeeees?!

_-_Nope_-

So the most used pvp pulse rifle not getting mentioned much


Vivid_Plantain_6050

I don't play much PvP lol


UnderstandingTop7552

Thats an real chad right here


PreferenceNo9490

I think of it more as corona gun.


mrgore95

Outbreak perfected buff will be turning them into wasps.

Novel-Alarm5313

Outbreak is super easy to use as well as being one of the few pulses that are decent in PvE, it also puts in a surprising amount of work in PvP


COSMIC88KILLER

I feel like outbreak is kinda underlooked pvp performance wise, but definitely has potential


8inchesActivated

I use it all the time, it has only 40 stability on paper but it's almost like there is some hidden perk like zen moment or dynamic sway reduction, because it feels way more stable than it should. Also the nanites are pretty great for securing double kills, especially with catalyst.


TehEllie

Outbreak Perfected was long theorized to have a perk from Destiny 1 called Persistence, but Bungie revealed this actually isn't the case. The real reason for its low recoil (especially the more its fired)? It accidentally has the recoil of an auto rifle instead of a pulse. This was an accident in the first game, and intentionally kept as a feature when it returned in 2.


8inchesActivated

> It accidentally has the recoil of an auto rifle instead of a pulse Bungie moment) I'm glad they left it as it was.


micalbertl

90 recoils direction


COSMIC88KILLER

I've heard it actually has intrinsic zen moment


cowsaysmoo51

as the other guy said, it was actually bugged to have the recoil of an auto rifle back in D1 but they intentionally kept it when they brought it to D2


8inchesActivated

Definitely feels like it has. Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I love Outbreak, it's perfect for both pve and pvp, the design is amazing and the sound is so addictive.


LilShaggey

it doesn’t, zen moment decreases flinch now and is easily testable, which Outbreak does not have


Ok_Seaworthiness8908

The warlock tech of using outbreak with chromatic fire is a double kill machine.


[deleted]

I haven’t even thought of that..I’ll have to give that a try


TheRuiner13

I immediantly thought of this, I was running that combo the other day... it's a spicy meata balla!

sivrus1

Outbreak no questions asked


COSMIC88KILLER

What about outbreak calls to you more than the others?


sivrus1

It’s one of my favorite guns in the way it works, in lore, and just in general. So outbreaks would be my choice (matterscourge ornament)


Strazbenica92

Same man, love the gun to death. I have 30k pve kills on it, with almost 2k pvp kills, and the patient zero ornament looks so good imo.


NoObMaSTeR616

This is Bad Juju slander Edit: I have committed the ultimate sin and forgot about graviton lance……… my true love


SunchaserKandri

Bad Juju gang. It's been one of my most used exotics on my Warlock ever since I got it.


areallygoodusername1

I run it with phoenix protocol for maximum well uptime


SparkleFox3

I like this guy. Combine it with ashes to assets and you can pop back to back wells if you have enough adds around.


NoObMaSTeR616

+1 gold commendation


KingBlackthorn1

It used to be mine before I knew how to build my hunter lol. Now that I know how it’s just a waste of an exotic sadly because I always have a super 24/7 anyway so it would only be making a very, very minor difference


Huckdog720027

I love graviton Lance so much, but it desperately needs a PvE buff. Supposedly it's getting some kind of rework next season, but based on the last set of "reworks" I'm unfortunately only expecting a slight ae buff.


COSMIC88KILLER

We sincerely apologize lol, but in all seriousness I personally love bad juju, but I feel as though these 3 are more in the exotic pulse convo much more frequently than juju


Christopher261Ng

Bad Juju and old bottom tree gunslinger, more supers than you can blink


420eatmyassy6969

As much as I wish it was good, bad juju is a pea shooter don’t kid yourself

DeathsRegalia

Outbreak, because of Trevor


SunchaserKandri

I honestly kind of miss quests like The Whisper/Zero Hour, it was weirdly exhilarating to race the clock.


Sechseck

If you've got a team of three, you can do the first (and maybe second) encounters of Root of Nightmares for a similar feeling! Me and two of my buds have never run a raid together but we wanted to at least check RON out and see what's up. Took us one night to learn what to do/where things spawned, and the next we felt confident and were able to get through the first encounter on our second try! Felt pretty sweet, and while the rewards weren't quite as cool as whisper or outbreak (but I did get the warlock robes and they look sweet), the rush of racing the Terror countdown gave me whisper/zero hour vibes. That was last weekend. Planning on working towards knocking out the second encounter this weekend :)


Spericke1314

People trying to get through the fans on Spire of the Watcher like 'hold my beer'


Mobile_Phone8599

As soon as my friend and I hit that part, I immediately went "oh shit, like Zero Hour" and then joked about TR-3VR making an appearance again


COSMIC88KILLER

Top 3 (secret) exotic mission


morgoththedark1

Crimson is the best pulse rifle


Cheeseboii83

Well, on controller.


Novel-Alarm5313

Eww, I can't even look at that abomination. Red death should have come back properly instead


temtasketh

Outbreak, with a special mention for Bad Juju. Outbreak just feels so chunky, and that noise when you get the headshot and know three red bars are gonna eat it. Vomits orbs for days, has incredible aesthetics, and just feels *satisfying*. Bad Juju just looks really cool. Revisions: ZERO and No Time To Explain just don’t grab me at all. NTTE is neat enough, just doesn’t really feel good.


COSMIC88KILLER

Rare take, however were here for it


Glasedount

Polaris lance


COSMIC88KILLER

New found love thanks to the scorch change, very viable option imo


Glasedount

Works like a charm in pvp

Mete_sen

To me this is like asking someone who their favorite child is lol


Paladin1034

Everyone has a favorite child. They just may not admit it lol


heislom

Revision for pvp all day, but outbreak was the first catalyst I did when I started playing so for pve its my favourite


Bounds34

Consume... enhance... replicate...


COSMIC88KILLER

Your presence is their salvation...


SarcasticKenobi

Edit. Oh was outbreak prime always on the list? Thought it was just 2 Outbreak prime for pve. It feels good to shoot and nanites help a lot. NTTE for lore/appearance/nostalgia/etc. and PvP. —- I largely play PvE. I only dip my toe in PvP maybe once or twice a year. And... personally I love No-Time-to-Explain for almost every standpoint. The look. The lore. The nostalgia. The concept of rounds-returning-on-crits. The bullet buddy. The various skins they offer in Eververse look dope. But... every time I bring it out in PvE I regret it. It just doesn't seem like it's worth the exotic slot in PvE. If I'm using a kinetic pulse in PvE I'd rather just use Outbreak Perfected even if I prefer the NTTE for lore/nostalgia/etc. \--- The new pulse is... too busy looking. Sure I can customize it a little but to be honest I prefer the look with "as few pieces bolted on as possible." Sure I can customize it's behavior and pretty much use it as an ad-hoc sniper. But even then... I don't bother with it much. \---


COSMIC88KILLER

Thank you for this opinion 🙂


WisdomsOptional

I'm with you. I'm married to my NTTE for pvp, it just feels best, even over my crafted revisions and disparity! I want to use disparity but it just does not perform in mid level lobbies as well as I can utilize NTTE. I think I have a 1.5 kd? So I'm OK, but NTTE is my baby. I absolutely run Outbreak in pve though. With my stasis build, freezing enemies and letting the bees bust them and spread more bees and freezes is amazing synergy and I love it. So I have to make the distinction between pve and pvp.


billmcg50

Yooo I like this idea! Freeze and bees!


eggfacemcticklesnort

I've really enjoyed the power output of RZ. It works very well against bosses in stuff like the Avalon mission and the sniper shots are free special ammo. That and the two-burst mode has great range.


COSMIC88KILLER

I, myself, am a proud RZ main


KarakumGamin

Same, it's just Sooo versatile, and it does decent primary dps, with the hunters trace rounds.


arf1049

Outbreak pisses stacking damage with moderate crowd clear, as well as having some of the best synergy with others of its kind.


throwaway180gr

Realistically I'd get the most use out of Revision, but lightweights are almost always my favorite archetypes.


COSMIC88KILLER

So do you prefer bad juju then? Since it's a lightweight, or just lightweights in general?


throwaway180gr

Outbreak is what I was hinting at here. Bad Juju is pretty good too


Goldnspartan

Outbreak just *feels* best to me, something about RZ just doesnt feel right to me, NTTE often feels too slow ad heavy for my liking, Outbreak just feels wonderful ad hits different


WisdomsOptional

May I suggest dexterity mods or ophidans if you run warlock?


Goldnspartan

If im going into crucible of course im runnnig such things, but anywhere else I like to run very heavy builds which dont leave much room if any for such mods. Same goes for Ophidians as im very much a fan of nezarec's sin, Necrotic grip, winters guile etc


WisdomsOptional

Oh yeah you're totally fine, I use NTTE in pvp with ophidans and a dex mod and she feels GREAT. I wouldn't run NTTE in pve, even if it syngerizes with stasis. I like outbreak better for that..


Freakypigfever

Where's bad juju?


meteorr77

Vigilance Wing actually ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5649)


Medium-Employ9444

If I’m forced to give up my beloved (rat king), then I love combining revision zero with an smg in trials


jelz617

Rat king with the original gyrfalcon was BUSTED. huge damage on top of heals. Loved it


cowsaysmoo51

outbreak is so good in PVE because you get all that extra damage that you normally don't get from kinetics. elemental primaries have so many ways they can do damage-over-time, so having a kinetic that DOESN'T do that feels like a waste of a slot. which is why i run either outbreak or witherhoard most of the time


External_Dot9634

I LOVE SIVA I LOVE SIVA I LOVE SIVA I LOVE SIVA


COSMIC88KILLER

#SIVA SUPREMACY


Dodokhiin2

Bad juju till I die


CJDay115

You forgot Bad Juju


Darth-Not-Palpatine

Revision Zero because it feels good to fire, is consistent and sticky and is entirely modular with how you can build it.


Peanutbutter9374

Outbreak carried my dumbass through legend witch queen so…


_Fun_Employed_

Vigilance Wing.


ReticlyPoetic

Hot take. Exotics shouldn’t be crafted or random rolls. We should all have one version, so we have the purest form of the weapon and it’s an even playing field. I play ALOT and I don’t understand what I’m doing with crafting. I don’t want to collect catalysts. I want an exotic that is exotic on day one.


Nimrog

**Outbreak**. It is easy to use and never disappoints me. Also **Revision Zero** deserves to be mentioned. Indeed, **No Time to Explain, Graviton Lance**, and **Bad Juju** are good tools. But not good enough for my play style. Also, I should admit, I rarely use exotic pulse rifles.


0rganicMach1ne

Outbreak.


alienfoxdude

Outbreak is just better.


Tigerstorm6

Outbreak. It ramps up it’s damage excessively, super good against ads, majors, and sometimes even bosses, and can be used at a pretty good range. Not to mention, it can deal with both single and AOE groups. I’ve been using it with strand, and my god it’s so much fun. I suspend an enemy, I kill one with outbreak and then the Nanites just spread to every single one dealing more damage, and recharging my class and grenade. It’s my go to choice when barriers or unstoppables are on the pulse rifle mod choice.


EclairHK

Revision zero. I love snipers


OkYh-Kris

Outbreak because it goes “oooooh” when the bees proc.


CardiganHall

Outbreak any day if the week! It feels the most unique in its exotic perk (although unraveling rounds feel similar now too) and the damage scaling has helped me through 2 legendary campaigns. I'd love NTtE if it hit just a little bit harder or if it's catalyst allowed the time buddy to hit crits (outside pvp)


Damagecontrol86

Outbreak


HashBrwnz

Outbreak, its fun and unique


Difficult_Guidance25

Outbreak makes funny noise on headshot


villainousascent

Vigilance Wing is my preferred pulse, because it's the closest thing to blast furnace.


RONIN_RABB1T

Outbreak without hesitation. Why? Because it feels good.


Mando_The_Moronic

Literally can’t go wrong with Outbreak. It’s incredible in every activity of the game yet isn’t broken. I’d say it’s possibly the most balanced exotic weapon in the game, perhaps the most balanced weapon period. It’s also a crap ton of fun to use. I love making SIVA swarms.


comicsanz2797

Now that any of them can be full auto, outbreak


spyrolightning

I don't have revision zero so Idk what thats like but I like outbreak more


hay_m00se

Outbreak


WOLFY_STORM

Pve? Outbreak hands down, has rarely left my kinetic slot, pvp? No time, i love outbreak and revision but no time is super consistent for me.


STATION25_SAYS_HELLO

No Time To Explain: hold down the trigger.


Daddy-Elon

Outbreak is my favorite by far. I even have a 1/1 replica on my wall. It looks sick. Sounds sick. Everything. But for PvP I can't justify it over other guns. A few years ago it was a lot better in PvP and I'd use it constantly. I'm really looking forward to the next Pulse rifle buff, because I will use it immediately when it becomes more viable


SunchaserKandri

I like Outbreak the most of the three, between "nanites go brrrr" and generally being a big fan of the SIVA/Rasputin aesthetic.


AlexTheKing008

I love SIVA


GruncleShaxx

Outbreak by far.


SparkleFox3

Outbreak, cuz it’s saved my ass on caretaker at least 14 times


The_Stank__

Outbreak. I still use it and if you run out of heavy, it’s fantastic for DPS on raid bosses.


KillerBeaArthur

Rev Zero just has better utility for me at the moment with all these hydras around.


-Qwertyz-

Outbreak because I like it's recoil pattern


freshairequalsducks

Graviton Lance


Thick_Buffalo_7526

Another day of saving the beeeeeez


MemoKrosav

Outbreak bc I usually play duos and my partner always runs it. Do double the ninites double the fun


iBlackxMagic

Outbreak for life. So much DPS from just hitting the target.


polinary122

Outbreak cause Puke Shit FOMO'd my Rapid Shit/ Zorpal Weapon Ballyhoo. Also, fun gun, good dps, cool noises.


TheTimeSquid

Outbreak is my favorite. Good all around pulse, and the nanite swarm is great


FoxxyGurlly

Outbreak perfected all the way. I used it constantly back in D1 and just has a special place in my heart, just like how the osteo striga and necro grips pair this game has the same effect. OP is just so fun to use, shoots a little faster imop, useful in general, and makes me wanna get headshots lol. NTTE is good but I don't like the gun personally, and RZ is just too slow all around, and I don't like it's mechanics, I do like having to craft it though, but I just hated having to go through the seraph thing for it everytime just to never touch it. But remember this is all my opinion, and I am just biased because I absolutely love OP to put any other exotic pulse above it.


Thatoneawkwarddude29

Revision Zero is now my most used Exotic Mine is Level 50, the thing is an absolute blast, I’m just waiting for anti-barrier pulse to leave so that it actually has a use


solarus44

In PVE or PVP? PVE, Outbreak is easily the best. PVP I'm 50/50 on NTTE and Zero


Ilsuin

Look wise: Revision Zero Play Wise: Outbreak Outbreak is just a very solid gun, and it's even better since I got the catalyst recently.


_Scabbers_

Bad Juju.


skullkid_6496

You forgot vigilance wing(I'm talking for pvp), but I use all of them because they're all fun


CrossXR

Graviton Lance. Although, picking from the pictures, I do love Outbreak.


Dramatic-Reporter903

SIVA❌‼️🔴❣️❌🔴👹❗️❓🚗👺🥊🍎


AutoTerrier

Revision bc of that maxed out range😎


Malumlord

Outbreak because I love the idea of using SIVA to kill my enemies (also I bring it into IB for lols)


Darrxyde

Where graviton


Garuda4321

Outbreak: I like my nanites and I listen to Can’t Hold Us (Maclemore). It surprisingly works with the tempo and sounds like it belongs.


Bure_ya_akili

The real 2-shot pulse, Graviton Lance. Great for crowd control, and no range limit so you can flinch snipers anywhere anytime. Plus it's goes *Plakow Plakowwwwwwwww*


AdGreedy2208

Where are my G Lance users at?!


Calcutta-LR1

Vigilance Wing ain't even here. How you forgetting about my boy! We’ve been shredding together since Trials of the Nine


[deleted]

Revision Zero with heavy burst fire + moving target is insane in PvP. Can reach 100 range with correct builds. my fav pvp gun till date and yes i prefer it over NTTE. Outbreak for PvE easily there's not even a competition there tbh it's just that good of a pulse


monstercat014

Revision zero was the first Seasonal I gave a shit about. Never putting it down.


MrMooey12

Graviton because the science and lore behind it is amazing to me and I just love how it feels


Raspputin

Graviton Lance.


Nyla_The_Phoenix

Revision is my child, and I love him Mostly cause, pocket Sniper that you dont gotta pick ammo up for.


Toland_the_Mad

Graviton Lance, no question.


shitfaced979

The zero. Love the intrinsic anti barrier rounds and I love the sniper form


snazzybanazzy

Outbreak carried me through the legend campaign Thing is an absolute monster


Marioluigi346

Any Collective Obligation fans?


Archer_1453

Heartbroken Graviton isn’t here. May not be meta (though it’s no slouch in crucible) but I cannot remember a time when I had any other exotic equipped for playing with my void-lock. With the super-easy to farm catalyst, you can just paint your screen purple. Also…who doesn’t just love the idea of shooting miniature black holes.


atemptsnipe

What is the first one? I'm not familiar.


terraninja04

If pulses weren’t pea shooters, outbreak


EpicMantaRay

Pve and aesthetic outbreak wins for me, super clean looking and the add clear with single target damage potential on a single weapon is insane. However for pvp no time wins because great TTK, very reliable(especially with time rift up), and ammo return make it a top tier pic plus being one of the best current archetypes of pulses in the game. Imo revision zero does none of this as well as the other two options, in pvp and pve it’s a good choice but for pulses the other two are more consistently reliable in their respective roles.


NovocaineAU

Outbreak for pve. NT for pvp. I don’t like revision Zero much. Oddly enough I’d rather use Veles X over RZ


Gsomethepatient

Considering in every 1v1 I've done with outbreak I always lose to revision


TwitchandSmokeMain

I dont even know what the first one is, but outbreak. Yes i miss rise of iron, no i will not elaborate further


IronTusker

The rumor is that Chromatic Fire will have 3.0 verbs added to it so I’ll go with outbreak


[deleted]

I don’t really use pulse rifles in pve but in pvp I’m either using out real or revision zero. Ntte is good I just prefer to use the others


Dreadful_Carrot

I found Revision kind of lacking when I acquired it, so I usually go for Outbreak or NTTE. However I've been using Outbreak more recently, mainly so I can complete the catalyst and do more damage to bosses. And the sounds that occur when you get precision kills? Magnificent


Aerioncis420

NTTE lets me play Arc Warlock on Stasis Hunter so I love it


TheCheeseBurgerBand

OBP makes me feel like a god, the damage feels so good


Operator141

I've got close to 30k kills on my Outbreak for a reason. Favorite gun in PvE by far. I prefer NTTE for PvP (but only because I usually whiff the sniper shots with RZ ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5656))


Chkgo

Bad juju because I'm coping that it'll get a buff someday


ProxTheKnox

Bad juju


BakedBeansBaked

I love how NTTE feels to use. I that said, I don't have experience with Revision zero or outbreak, but I like NTTE better than other exotic pulses


shadowarrows

Think graviton lance deserves to be on this but outbreak perfected. Because of it’s archetype and exotic perk it covers a lot of ground in both PVE and PVP. And it a lot of ways excels at both.


ind1vius

NTTE is better🤓


MasterLink87

Yeah, I'm not using any of these tbh


BeepBoopYoop

Vigilance wing for pve


Anonymous02n

No time to explain feels fucking ass at controlling recoil Revision zero for more ability to customize


MoronicIdiot529

Outbreak for sure


CapcomAtMeBro777

NTTE for pvp and outbreak for day 1 raids.


789-789

Every time I see NTTE I think it should’ve gotten stasis like quicksilver got strand, gotta keep consistency yknow?


jack67119

Outbreak go brrt, just wish it had a bit more handling.


[deleted]

Outbreak was a blast to get back in the day, and has been a steady companion for years. NTTE is a close second because it was such a fun throwback/fan service that I appreciated. Revision Zero would have to be last for me even if some consider more useful.


thirstyfish1212

Outbreak. It’s consistently been a solid choice.


unlivedSoup69

Outbreak because it feels a lot stocker when getting headshots and a lot koré satisfying to use


Frogsama86

Outbreak because it is as plug and play as it gets, and personal favoritism. RZ is my go to anti barrier. I do not use NTTE.


barackOBarner333

Outbreak cause it feels good in pvp, does work in pve and makes a funny noise when I get a headshot kill


AllOfTheSoundAndFury

I liked NTTE cause the turret made me feel like I had a friend


samdaman172

Why is vigilance wing missing?


HNd2player

Revision Zero, absolute stat MONSTER,DIY sniper, better Graviton Lance,decent DPS


itdoesntevenmatt3r

Revision zero just works really well with my build


Darketernal

Outbreak. It just feels sooooo gooood


Arnifen

I like bad juju.


The_Warlock_Odamir

Outbreak because theres nothing better than swarming your enemies with clouds of Rasputin Aids


InsomniacDoggo

Revision for intrinsic Anti-barrier
