Tbh most of the weapons from the raid are great. The bow has dragonfly voltshot, the pulse is very strong, imminence is considered one of the best smgs in the game (I don't like smgs much so I can't really attest), the sword is the strongest archetype and has some great perks, the sniper has chill clip AND one of the strongest damage perks. The glaive is pretty strong for a glaive as well, but most people don't like glaives so I won't really say that is worth pursuing for most people. I do agree that the first three encounters drag on a bit much. They're way too similar. 4th is one of the best raid encounters though in my opinion. It's very unique.

Thing is the weapons arent "bad" they are either average or niche. Even the bow with voltshot, outside of the novelty its both not that good and not used at all (mine takes dust in the vault) The pulse is ok, not bad but not insane. The glaive...is a glaive at that point they all are the same they have the same perks most of the time The sword is fun to add clear but it stops there. As soon as we get another arc wave frame sword it will become a random sword. The smg while its stats are good for pvp. Nobody bothers using its not that different from your usual pvp smg. In other words, the raid weapons arent worth the trouble of doing this raid again and again considering its not really a fun experience

The pulse smg and glaive are all great weapons, the glaive in particular rolls replenishing aegis destab. With by the change to destab it made the glaive very good. The sword is also good for the Wolfpack sword user since you use attrition orbs on it and keep people's armor charges up. The bow again is mini trinity ghoul all the weapons are good lol.

The glaive is a glaive lol. Destab does’t suddenly make it outstanding compared to other glaives. If you use a sword in a dps to generate orbs...seriously its more of a waste of dps. In a dps phase where you use a sword you usually activate a well or a bubble Hell you even have mods on your helmet that gives armor charges to you and your team mates upon casting a super. And i cant think of a single dps phase where you can use a sword, where your armor charges gained from the start of the dps phase, runs ot before the end And the smg is good in pvp but nothing special. A proof of that is that i have yet to see these weapons being used at all.
