When Hard Raid drops, there'll be five new goodies at least to pick up along the way, in addition to the new ship and potential shader/emblem. Similar to Vault of Glass, one of each primary weapon will drop (legendaries all, don't worry about losing your Exotic slot), with elemental damage. Which has you most hyped?
GUN INFO
Oversoul Edict is similar to Praedyth's Timepiece in being an Arc Pulse Rifle. Fires full auto, and can shoot straight theough Knights' Wall of Darkness. I approve.
Fang of Ir Yūt is the Scout Rifle, with Arc damage. It can mark targets when hit, and has the Third Eye perk. Pretty damn solid.
Word of Crota, the Void Hand Cannon, has a VERY good perk where getting critical hits will gain some ammo back in the magazine. Not as good as Black Hammer's perk, kind of a cross between that and Performance Bonus, but it'll still have one of if not the largest hand cannon mag sizes in game when aimed well. I know, I know, it doesn't have Firefly, but this will undeniably be one of the best HC's around.
Abyss Defiant is the Solar Auto Rifle. This one in particular has reeeally nice perks. Focused Fire, aka Suros Regime perk. And it can stun Wizards. Sold.
Finally, Necrochasm. More or less the Mythoclast equivalent for this raid, as it's an Exotic that only drops in Hard Raid. To get this beast you'll need a fully upgraded Eidolon Ally, as only the component drops. But once you have it, it not only deals Arc damage but also causes enemies to frequently explode like a Cursed Thrall when killed by a headshot. And speaking from personal Eidolon Ally experience, headshot kills are definitely going to be the majority of kills.
It's important to remember that these probably will be the weapons we end up using in House of Wolves against the Fallen, and guess what shields they mostly use? Arc. Bungie's planning ahead for us this time.

I only say necrochasm becuase its the only one i dont have
-
I have the scout and hand cannon so I just want the AR.
-
Pulse rifle or necrochasm. Only ones I need
-
2 RepliesI want the scout rifle just to see if it's good as vision of confluence. I've heard that fate bringer is far better than word of crota, but I don't have either of them, so I wouldn't know.
-
Nechrocasm, because I have the rest.
-
The necro. Being I have it leveled up and rdy to upgrade, the ocd in me is dying to finish it off. Perhaps when I set some time aside for raiding... :/
-
3 RepliesNecro is all I need from hard mode, I do however still need black hammer and swordbreaker.
-
Fang and oversoul
-
2 RepliesSo far they all suck, but still need the necro and word. Once I get those, goodbye hard mode! Not worth playing through the bugs for the rewards!!!!
-
Edited by tripleg11: 2/8/2015 5:02:15 PMI have em all except necrochasm. Don't really want it, it'd just be a novelty to have
-
I'm only missing abyss defiant
-
3 RepliesWord of crota SUCKS!!!
-
I just need the crux. Have all the others
-
I only need the Fang and Necrogasm.
-
1 Reply9 clears on hard, 7 hand cannons and 0 fang
-
1 ReplyI guess the Necrochasm, since it is the only primary from the raid I do not already have
-
Have them all
-
I've gotten over soul, abyss, and the word. Every one of them is out classed by a non raid weapon that doesn't need ascendant flakes or whatever to upgrade. Pretty poor round of raid weapons IMO (black hammer excluded. That thing rules)
-
I want over soul edict, I have everything else already
-
I don't have an arc primary so either Oversoul Edict or Fang of Ir Yut
-
The word is a piece of shit. Why do so many want it
-
2 RepliesIf I got word Id dismantle it. I want the fang and abyss still.
-
Got 3 word of crota for all 3 characters. Hopefull next one will be the fang. Why i chose fang (scout) ... Its best for medium to long range... as for close combat i prefer use maxed out fusions..
-
I have all of them!
-
I'm missing abyss and necro. I do want the abyss at least then I'll have every element...
-
I still need Word and Fang
