To everyone hating on the crota primaries ...

From what I noticed there are a ton of people that hate on the Crota primaries, there are also tons of people who love them but I'm focusing on the negative right now. People complain that the Crota primaries aren't as great as they perhaps should be . Lets see what people usually say... keep in mind this is off the top of my head and its usually just a bunch of repeats . 1 Abyss Defiant- This weapon has a high rof and really low impact I really expected better . Not only that but the unique perks on it rely on RNG you can't always get wizards stunned. The VoC does more damage for crying out loud and it's also full auto. My Response: Yes the Abyss Defiant does have a high RoF and low impact but some people (not me) like that which is why there is a hip fire perk on the gun... for the people who like that sort of fire rate. There is also the perk Focused Fire which acts kind of like the suros and makes the gun perform really well for those of us who dont like high RoF and low impact. If this weapon had a 100% chance to stun wizards that would super -blam!-ing op and don't say no because it already destroys wizards ... I know I have it.You really cant compare the VoC and the Abyss Defiant , why? Because one is a scout and one is a auto rifle and yes the VoC has the full auto perk but it does not shoot at the speed of an auto rifle. If anything I believe the abyss defiant has a higher dps than the VoC . (relying on auto fire perks and saying they are godlike and make it an autorifle is absolutely moronic just because you cant pull a trigger) If you compare this to Atheons Epilogue , the Abyss Defiant shits on it. 2 Oversoul Edict- Wow this is just a praedyths timepiece but you can shoot through knight walls. It really doesnt do a lot of damage does it? It's a high rof low impact pulse rifle. My response: It really doesnt feel or act like the timepiece in any way imo. Believe it or not this pulse rifle does way more damage than any other pulse rifle I've come across which i find strange due to its low impact... either way this weapon is actually great and does a lot and I mean A LOT of damage for being a pulse rifle. 3. Fang of ir yut- Wow the fang of ir yuts marking perk isn't like wallhacks I can't mark someone out and know where they are all the time this weapon is automatically garbage because of the letdown. It doesnt have autofire like my overrated VoC and that makes my VoC better nevermind the fact that the autofire perk is buggy. Why would you get this ? It does arc damage who needs arc damage when you have the fatebringer. My response: Well tbh I was rather dissapointed that this weapon wasnt a wallhacks 420 blaze it up i have no skill i -blam!-ed your mom because this weapon is allmighty kind of weapon with that perk , but hey it's still a great weapon. The spray and play perk makes up for the unique perk on it because you reload super fast when your mag is empty. Autofire is cool for those who dont use scout rifles and cant pull a trigger but you know else doesnt have autofire and is considered a great weapon ...? [b]Fatebringer[/b]... [i]Le Gasp[/i]. If you prefer the fatebringer fine whatever the fatebringer is still a cool weapon but for those people who like versatility and scout rifles this is amazing . I prefer fang of ir yut to VoC and Fatebringer any day get at me . Also 331 damage in comparison to 300 boom. 4. Word of crota - Wow really this weapon that was so hyped up doesn't have firefly on it ? Garbage. It has a low impact stat ? Garbage . It does void damage? Garbage why would we need void. Fatebringer> WoC anyday. The white nail perk is on it but it doesnt refill the whole mag? what a waste. My response: firefly is great but honestly every weapon cant be the same. Low impact stat but great rate of fire and it feels very solid c: . Void damage... you guys realize that the hive use void right ...? If anything I question why solar is on some of the weapons since none of the hive use solar weapons or attacks. Also a Void weapon such as the atheons epilogue and this weapon here are great for nightfalls why ? Because 1. void burns 2. -blam!-ing psions. 3. Minotaurs. I would much rather use my WoC rather than atheons epilogue anyday "But you just stated before that you can't compare weapons of different categories !" .... shit you got me, well.... it adds versatility to your weapon pool you can use the AE if you like high rof auto rifles and you can choose WoC if you like hand cannons there fixed that . Fatebringer is also not that great in comparison the WoC why ? Because the WoC has a higher attack stat and higher rof " But Potato its been shown that the fatebringer only does something like 10 less damage to enemies!" ... you do realize what you said right ? less damage.... and it has a lower rof well shit I must be stupid AF not to choose fatebringer. the white nail perk is meh at best for WoC but if it was like black hammer it would be op. In conclusion I want to say I love all of the raid weapons and the unique perks brought to the- wait what ...? You're telling me that its only the crota weapons that have true unique perks to them ? Well I'll be damned . Regardless I still love most of the raid weapons that are brought to us (-blam!- atheons epilogue and the preadyths timepiece ). All the weapons are different and unique in their own way , isn't that what the community asked for ? Imagine what the forums would do if these weapons were just copies of the Vault weapons . We would all lose our -blam!-ing minds. Edit 1 : Tried to make it cleaner and more readable ... don't know if I did that well. Also GIVE THEM A CHANCE cx Edit 2 : Wow I made a trending topic C: thanks for the support and debate everyone I like seeing everyones opinion and being able to pit my opinions against other people remember nothing is fact and these weapons are not the best they are just great reliable weapons with elemental damage and you have to give them a chance

        im working on a theory considering raid primaries. I'm almost certain they each have 1 or 2 "hidden" perks, basically upgrades that are inherent and unmentioned (like proximity detonation on ghorn). Currently I think Word of crota : snapshot, ? Oversoul edict: skip rounds, fourth round/hidden round (missing 1 shot from burst adds 1. Certain of this because you often end up with 1 or 2 in your clip.) Abyss defiant: high caliber rounds, possibly skip rounds as well? Don't yet have a scout. Lmk what you think of these theories please

        • I'm not taking anything away from the abyss defiant, it's just that's the gun I was lookin forward to the most. When I got it I thought it was going to be an absolute tank, but it wasn't. It's not bad, it's one of the best in the game, it's just I'm not impressed

        • These primary raid weapons are totally not necessary for this raid like VoG weapons were. (ok, they were not 100% necessary, but you know what I mean). The NEXT DLC will be the one these weapons will be most important for, and Fallen don't have void shields. Arc and Solar only. So WoC will not be so useful there as AD or OE... Arc damage will be king in HoW due to Captains

          • I love the Abyss Defiant. Major Wizards used to be my least favorite enemy to come across. Now I seek them out aggressively >:) I want the hand canon also. I like it and I'm really lacking in void damage so it would be a welcome addition to my arsenal.

              Loving the Abyss Defiant. Wrecked the Wakening on Heroic with it last night. The Fang still has to grow on me, I was spoiled by the VoC for the longest time and do miss the auto fire perk. The reload perks don't interest me because I never reload when my magazine is empty. Third eye does look beneficial.

              • I agree with you. Good post. Haven't received the hand cannon, yet. But have everything else. But the AR is awesome with slow fire, with hive distributor it down yellows fairly quick. I think with the Pulse Rifles bungie needs make them more like Red Death. They all have really low impact. Again, good post. No homo.

              • I love how Abyss Defiant lets you toggle between the Hip Fire perk and Focused Fire!! SUROS Regime should let you do this.

              • Abyss Defiant is a great weapon. Fang and Word are good as well but lack a good perk setup. Oversoul Edict is the worst of the bunch.

                  The scout rifle just destroyed the nightfall. It's the most perfect nightfall for it. Hive? Check Arc burn? Check.

                  • Weapons I have: Fang of Ir Yut, I like it but the satterienne rapier will probably be my go to scout rifle. Oversoul Edict, it's a pulse rifle. I even have three little words with a lot of impact but I still don't use it much. Weapons I dont have: Word of Crota, looks nice. I like hand cannons so having a void one will be great. Abyss Defiant, with the focussed fire perk I think it be very good :)

                  • I have the Fang of ir yut maxed and it is f'ing amazing it does more damage than my exotics and makes nightfall its bitch (quite literally) i love it i want to try the abyss defiant but none of my toons have gotten it yet but i feel like its not gonna compare to the capabilities of this weapon except in maybe the forest run for just mowing down the thrall but yell i got the song of ir yut to do that... either way ill max it as well and come back but as of now this fang is my definant primary for its amazing power doing double an exotic earns it that

                    • Abyss has great impact for an auto rifle. The only ones that beat it in the same class are the exotics.

                      • I 100% agree with the oversoul edict part. THere's something odd about that gun. It's a lot stronger than it seems to be or should be.

                      • Abyss Defiant looks great of course, and I actually want Oversoul Edict, the others useful and will have their place without question.

                      • If you use the perk that slows the rate of fire down on abyss defiant it does just as much damage as any other auto rifle with higher impact.

                      • Got word of crota. I like it simply because it is a void primary that is not atheons epilogue. I HATE atheons epilogue. Wish I had WoC the two times I did the thorn bounty...

                          • ... I like my Word of Crota, but it does feel a little underpowered... mainly because it looks so mean. Kind of like Thorn before they finally gave it a buff (even though I still used it).

                          • I've thoroughly enjoyed my Word of Crota. It's stability creates a pretty dominant hand cannon.
