So I took it upon myself to try a few an anti-barrier weapons vs. the first barrier goblin you encounter in the -50 GM Exodus Crash
Here’s what I found-
Arbalest, stuns champ in 1 shot
Praxic Blade, stuns champ in 2 swipes
New Land Beyond, stuns champ in 2 body or 1 critical
Izanagi’s Burden, stuns champ with honed edge x4 critical
Wish-Ender, if you’re quick, stuns champ with 3 body
Revision Zero, stuns champ with 8 rounds of 2-burst
Thorn, don’t even bother or any other exotic HC for that matter
I tested these weapons without buffs/debuffs and only aimed for the crit spot if I was using a sniper. Some some values may change but from what I’ve seen Arbalest is the clear winner.

2 RisposteRefurbished A499 with stunloader mod and gutshot straight and autoloading holster, you get two shots to start with, one to stun (proc stunloader), then other to crit, switch to another weapon, if it goes long enough of if stuff happens, you can switch back to it and do it over.

You saved me writing the similar findings. Some exotic hands 4/5 shots. Lengedary same all useless. New rocket one same. I found Wishender was 1 shot. Arby 1 shot. Snipers 2 to 4 shots. Seems the barriers have a higher health bar. D chaos heavy half a magazine. Mythic Kepler again

Im going to sit this season out... i dont like being completely pigeon holed into 6 weapons. IMO, this is the worst artifact for me in at least 3-4 years. Not having fun with it. Last season, we had a great artifact.

2 RisposteDeterministic Chaos is my copilot.

6 RisposteRevision Zero Light Burst (4 Burst) is honestly better. Builds the alt fire faster too, which is a 1-Tap to Barriers as well.
