Shoutout to all the guardians that slay with statistically poor weapons or relatively unused weapons.
In a world dominated by palindromes and eyaslunas, ice breakers and no lands, and anything that prides itself on being one of the easiest weapons to use, this is to the guardians that use weapons that are just about as laughable to guardians as pepper spray is to a wind blowing your direction and still getting on top.
With the most recent nerfs to general hand cannon range, the last word drops off before it gets out of melee range yet it can still be used sufficiently. The khvostov was thought to be a joke weapon with a bunch of perks, but it can be used just like the dreaded Doctrine of Passing, and even then, to use it at 450 rpm and slay is a massive accomplishment. To the chaperones, to something as silly as hereafter or patience and time, or as formerly intimidating as thorn. To the necrochasms, to the mythoclasts, to the fusions that shouldn't work, to the parthian shots, to the badger CCLs, to all of those weapons and many more that seem to fall flat on their faces, these guardians take them and use them into something beyond where they should be.
It's not a matter of the weapon, it's a matter of the wielder. These guardians are the legends that can turn heads because they use a weapon that should never show its head in the crucible. Godspeed, you
Edit: Holy crap, this thing has been around for almost 2 days and I've gotten so much out of it. Even Lost Sols (who I was told was a popular forum-goer) commented on this. I love hearing not only the comments on which guns you use even when I haven't heard of them, but the discussion of what's considered good or bad in the crucible. This is awesome! Thank you all!

Weapons don't pride themselves on anything....Alot of these weapons you listed aren't hard to use. They just arent meta.
-
I use thorn, necro, and fatebringer because why not
-
I have been using a parthian shot/spare change/messenger archetype forever..does that count?
-
4 RepliesTlaloc is a -blam!-ing monster, I dont see enough of those. :(
-
Righteous VII, as others have said. Hereafter is underrated too.
-
I got a 10 kill streak with "in times of need" the other day lol it gets boring using meta weapons all the time so I think it's good to have fun with turd weapons. P.s worst legendary shotgun ever.

3 RepliesEven though I disapprove of looking down on people who run statistically good weapons,I think you should know my Arminius-d on my Warlock slays better than "most" palindromes.
-
3 RepliesI prefer my Soulstealers Claw and Shadow Price. I hate Sidearms and use them only when others use them on me.
-
2 RepliesIs Genesis Chain a non-meta weapon? Her Memory and Colovance are, I know. And those are the primaries I use.
-
NTTE for the win.
-
2 RepliesLol I used Parthian shot before the buff also I use patience and time or defiance of yasmin before any other sniper

Don't play Crucible often but I run: Cryptic Dragon Trespasser Unto Dust

1 ReplyIf someone is managing to get kills with NLB after its murder, I think they deserve a pat on the back.
-
1 ReplyI might favor a few weapons over other choices, but for myself I rotate through all primary types across all 3 races. Sometimes I just feel like I'm better at hand cannons one night and then the next I'm on auto rifles. When I truly feel like messing around Ill use some blue weapons with funny names. My favorite is the Nifty Biscuit. I mean who wants to see that they were killed by a biscuit?
-
I used the khvostov in scout rifle mode on kept killing a guy using Mida in Widows Court
-
I re-rolled my felwinters, for the shotgun bounty, so it now has close and personal, rifled barrel, and litc.

I was melting fools with the mythoclast during the few IB matches I played earlier this week. The problem with a lot of people is they take "non-meta" weapons and go head first not changing their play style in the slightest and report in with "______ is a sh[i]i[/i]t weapon." I'm far from the best crucible player is probably and understatement for me. I usually stay away but I really do enjoy using weapons that "shouldn't be good" and play them like they should be played and come out doing "okay". Anyways, cheers guardians. See ya in D2

Go check my hunters loadout. I manly use secondary and primary when necessary, and then go check my recent clash games on that hunter. -blam!-....

Thank you very much. I need to use shitty guns because im 389 light and want to get 400 light. Thank you for respecting me! Feel free to join my clan"The CRUSADER RAIDERS" and set as a PlayStation Account.

1 ReplyI use a Palindrone and a wormwood and I still slay. People who use the meta suck. [spoiler]please dont hurt me[/spoiler]
-
Statistically poor weapons? So... you mean primaries?
-
After a few palindrome matches i feel bored and have to swap up my guns and i have always enjoyed autos in pvp even tho they suck
-
I remember when my wormwood wasnt meta also used new monarchy ttk auto perfect balance rifled barrel and counterbalance feels like it has high aim assist too
