Vex Mythoclast does not benefit from many of the Exotic Primary Buffs
Hello,
This is relatively easily testable, and will offer some videos and images if needed,
But the same issues that plauged Quicksilver Storm in the beginning of the DLC of Lightfall has also flown under the radar with the Vex Mythoclast,
Vex Mythoclast DOES have the 40% damage bonus against red-bar enemies, but it DOES NOT have the increased Super Generation and Increased Heavy weapons ammo drops that other Exotic Primaries have,My guess is that somewhere in the code for the exotic primary buffs, Vex Mythoclast was not included because it is technically a fusion rifle, which is generally a special or heavy weapon
Thank you for your time

I think it inflated their view of the weapon so what we are seeing now is it’s base and has always been these numbers. Please correct me if they said they updated vex specifically, because I could have sworn they did not include vex in that update. Edit: doing some research, it’s been well over a year since this change. A dmg post on twitter confirmed vex was not receiving the buff, whether or not this was true he reported it and I took it at face value.

Legendaries give one brick per 17 kills and exotics give one brick per 16 kills. Exotic primaries do not provide additional super energy unless specified by their perk. Wish ended is an exception due to how many times it hits and how much damage it does.

It's a fusion rifle, just like Graviton is technically a pulse rifle, and thus is subject to Pulse Rifle changes, not Scout Vex can be 3 things, a primary fusion and power, what if it was a primary with power linear fusion damage , that would be awesome, but the fun police would rally for its death -

Yes some type of verification is needed to show exotic primaries give bonus super regen. Bad juju does but no other exotic gives increased regen as far as I know.

1 ReplyI could be wrong, but I don't think most exotic primaries give you bonus super energy on kills I remember reading the 40% damage buff vs. minors and buff to heavy ammo drop, but I don't recall the bonus super energy.

Since it is a By definition a fusion rifle it does not get those buffs they said if it where to receive those buffs the gun would be completely broken. So instead they buff graviton and it is now by the the strongest PvE weapon since this weapon boss damage is trash I doubt it will get nerfed

Edited by Kiro - 13: 7/26/2023 7:06:33 AMThe increased ammo drop rate it should be benefiting from for being a primary exotic weapon but does not has been a known problem since the change happened. & it wont ever be fixed because: It would require custom tuning under the hood(because its considered a FR archetype) which adds to their current development debt, it has not been added to know issues when this has been known for well over a year, [b][i]lastly & most important its a bug that does not benefit the player but rest assured if it was in the players benefit the gun would be disabled.[/i][/b] I personally love Mythoclast and mine has a 45k+ kill tracker, but I have accepted that while running mytho ammo econ will suck. Which is why I switched to the double special weapon PvE meta.
