Year 1 exotics in the crucible?
Are there disadvantageous to using year 1 exotics in the regular crucible? (not iron banner) I just had a great game using a bad juju that didn't even have all the perks unlocked yet.

Weapon drops at lower light level is the only disadvantage

Edited by Swiftlock: 12/11/2016 6:43:11 PMYear 1 weapons will perform just fine in regular Crucible, but not so much in Trials/Iron Banner where light levels actually come into play.
-
Try the Pocket Infinity. It's a beast!!
-
Not just you too, I used year 1 Queenbreakers Bow one time and it still as good as the year 2/3 versions xD
-
Only y1 armors have a disadvantage because thier charge modifiers are much lower overall compared to thier Y2 counterparts.

I've taken pocket infinity into crucible (including iron banner) and had a freakin ball! A few banners ago I got 17 kills just using that lol.
-
Besides banner and trials? No they perform as well as anything else.
-
Nope, have fun

1 ReplyActually there's an advantage, as I've breaker is inherently broken and should be removed.

I use Y1 weapons almost exclusively in regular crucible, and have more of them in my vault than current gen weapons. Just quickly change to a higher light level weapon at the end of the match if you want to get high light level gear; easy peasy.
-
3 RepliesIf you're trying to get higher light level drops in regular crucible, you'll need to be at a higher light level. Using Y1 will drop it down, and subsequently your loot drops too. That would be the only downside.
-
None really. I find it fun to use some blues as well. Nifty Biscuit is a favorite of mine.
-
Broke out the mythoclast today. Good times.
-
The only disadvantage is when you get a reward it will be at a lower light level because of the drop in light associated with using a year one weapon.
-
Felwinter's Lie works in all game modes

7 RepliesYou can use them in IB. Light doesn't make nearly as big a difference as everyone thinks.
-
Nope, in fact it can be simple fun. See: pocket infinity necrocasm Iice (well, for a day or two more, anyway) Heck, even the white Suros haha
-
None. Just switch to a higher light weapon at the end of each match if you care about end game drops.
-
Remember this, player skill trumps all. Keep dishing out the butthurt.
-
With weapons it's just the endgame drops like everyone says because of you light level. With armor pieces you also get like a fifth of the stat points compared to current armor. But there are also really good perks on the old armor.
-
Loot drops will have lower LL, thats it.
-
Only disadvantage is that your drops will be lower light level as it's based on your equipped light level.
-
1 ReplyI've been killed by many Vex Mytocasts in regular crucible.... I pull out my Ice Breaker for fun sometimes.....
-
Light level does not matter in regular crucible so all weapons and gear will work. The only thing is your light level will be lower and any legendary drop KD you get will be lower. You'll just need to infuse them.

I've been using pocket infinity in cruicible lately
