Suros Regime or Red Death?

Suros Regime

370

Red Death

468

Hi all I currently have Suros maxed, I'm wondering if it's worth prioritising levelling Red Death to use in Crota Hard mode instead? I know that Red Death looks pretty awesome, but which is the better of the two? Cheers guys.

  • Both rifles are pretty good(don't judge me on the Suros part) although I would prefer Red Death.

  • I use red death since I'm a sword bearer who will need full health most of the time. And since I'm not shooting anything really it's well worth the exotic slot

  • It's not really about Ghorn, Icebreaker or any other weapon guys. I just wanted to know which the best gun was between Suros Regime and Red Death. From what others have said, it seems Red Death is the better option, even more so when they release the weapons update.

  • Neither are necessary if you can gain health from orbs. Waste of an exotic slot IMO.

  • Neither. Use a healing armor piece and a primary that doesn't take up Ghorn real-estate.

    • Hey Biggs, yea it does seem faulty to me lately, it hardly ever seems to regen any health and it does seem to only ever proc after a kill when it rarely does. Quite possibly a bug but I've not heard anything about it :/

      • It looks like Red Death is gonna be pretty awesome after the next update! I think it's clear that it's already the best gun for Crota, it's gonna be interesting to see how much of a difference the changes actually make!

        [i]And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.[/i]

      • If only Red Deatf's stability wasn't so shitty. Still, Red Death.

      • Gjallarhorn or icebreaker or something, you don't need health regen really that much

      • The thing about suros, is that only the bottom half of each magazine has a CHANCE to heal you. Where the Red Death GUARANTEES health regeneration after a kill.

      • Red Death is better because every kill heals you, unlike SUROS, you have to get half the mag out and there's only a chance you can get healed.

      • Ermm red death is a million times better for crota due to guaranteed health regen. For literally everything else, Suros is way way better.

        • Perhaps it's just me, but has anyone ever noticed that Suros seems faulty? I mean in the perk description it says it has a chance to return health while dealing damage. However, I've only noticed it returns health only after a kill. This is where it should differ from Red Death. I'm not sure if it's an error in the coding, or if it was meant to be that way. Just saying that's what I've seen.

        • Thanks all for the replies so far guys! From the comments it seems that most are leaning to Red Death. The voting is set to 50/50 exactly however! It does seem to be mainly down to preference, I think I'll just level up Red Death and see which works best for me :)

        • Red Death is more consistent. If you get a kill, it will heal you. With suros...it may not. And then there may not be something else to kill to heal you. Red death all the way.

        • If you're a great shot, the Red Death can replace the Vex. I had gotten my Red Death the first week of the games launch, and I fell in love with it ever since. However I am a bit upset that Bungie has removed the "it's a guardian killer" from the title.

          • Red death is better in my option for crota out of the 2 as suros has a chance to regen health whereas red will garentee health. Just kill a thrall and you are back to full health

          • Suros. Suros regens health on any damage from bottom half of the clip. Red Death regens on a kill. One is wayyyyyy easier than the other.

            Suros has consistent enough health regen to be effective in Crota, and is much more effective killing. I'm usually a sword bearer Using Suros and have had no health regen issues yet. Couple with an orb regen helmet and you'll have zero worries.

          • Hard choice! I have both and love both, think red death edges it due to the guaranteed health regen and its looks!!
