The Grand Overature: Yay or Nay?
I've just started working on the catalyst for it and....I just can't.
I do not enjoy this gun at all. I hate how slowly it shoots, the kick when it does, the spin-up, everything. And while you can deal great damage when you use a full load of stored missiles, I can do better damage instantly with my Gjallarhorn in the same slot. And I'm pretty sure adding the catalyst still won't make it perform better than a Gjallarhorn in the heavy slot.
And because it's an Exotic, I miss out on all the extra firepower I could be getting from an Exotic in the other weapon slots. For example if I want to dish out arc damage I'd much rather use Riskrunner combined with an arc rocket or grenade launcher than use The Grand Overature with something else.
I guess it might prove useful for some specific purposes like boss melting in a raid but even there I think it will be outmatched by other options.
So it's nay for me. But if you're a fan of the gun, maybe you can tell me why. Maybe I'm just using it wrong.

1 返信I may be alone in that I love the gun and it carried me through my first legend campaign solo. The kick lessens with sustained fire, and while it has some travel time, the bullets this weapon fires are extremely forgiving in their hitbox and have really good range. Use against big targets if you’re going for deep shots. It’s a bulky ad clear weapon with some solid utility with the catalyst which causes the rockets to blind enemies and explode if they die. Now that Bungie buffed it’s reserves, really good ammo economy since the rockets don’t use up any ammo to fire. It’s not a DPS weapon, and not every weapon needs to be. Try it out in Exhibition with the catalyst, works well against everything in there. Not for everyone but I really like it.

I honestly think its just a fun exotic. It sucks, for sure, but its fine for farting around doing pinnacles or bounties or whatever. though pre-shadow nerf it was more fun with the volley of 20 missiles you can't control and just carpet bomb everywhere 😂

Gunshipにより編集済み: 3/22/2022 7:06:10 PMI prefer faster firing MG myself. The thing about Overture is that it seems to dps yellow bars/bosses better than I expected. Honestly though, once I finish the catalyst I will just throw it in my vault to rot. Although swords seem to have taken a major nerf hit this season, I still prefer them in that slot. Ive carried a sword for so many seasons in pve that it is what I expect to be there. I like that weapon there for utility reasons mostly, it is (or at least was) pretty useful getting me out of a jam if swarmed or melting a boss. It provides good attacks per ammo (the way I use it anyway- mainly light attacks). I don't like that it was nerfed, but I don't have any other Heavy that is nearly as useful, mostly they go through ammo in two seconds, which makes them feel like a waste of space. Generally speaking, I have mostly ignored exotics for several seasons except for specific purposes. The lack the mod slot to focus them at specific target classes (red bars/yellow bars/bosses) and that makes them pretty weak sometimes. Seem to remember exotics got a buff this season? Ill have to see. But I deleted most of my exotic weapons thinking I could get them back for 7 legendary - not realizing good ole Bungie jacked the price up to 20 so the game could suck more. The MG I really used to love was 21% Delirium - Pinnacle Gambit - but it was sunset (of course)

It’s proven to have worse damage then blue MGs in tests in GoA. Absolute garbage gun. Bungo way over corrected this dlc with their buy the bis” mentality that they had when they released the Skill Driver last dlc.

2 通の返信It’s quite literally the worst exotic mg and by a wide margin, it’s perk is a gimmick at best and I’d rather have almost any other heavy even darci over this watered down xeno. It’s rate of fire for total damage output is laughable, the charge up is unnecessary, the missles were already bad even before the nerf, it’s likely the worst exotic we’ve gotten since salvations grip and that at least let you get to some pretty cool areas

2 通の返信Might be worth it when arc 3.0 rolls around but theres many decent arc exotics like trinity ghoul, symmetry, 4th horseman, wardcliff etc and if thunderlord gets a decent cat that will be a strong contender too. If it had been void? Or had chain reaction?Might have used it more after grinding out the cat. But again many solid void exotics to use for synergy. If it had a faster fire rate, bigger mag and less kick then sure could be a decent go to. As it is might drag it out for arc burn activities not much else.

1 返信i find it to be more of a gimmick weapon than anything practical but its fun to nuke champions with blinding missiles

Grand Overture is very cool looking, quite enjoyable in early game, but there are a lot of exotics that are way more useful. None only that, but machine guns are in need of a rework just like fusion rifles. If I remember correctly, Bungie wants machine gun to be an gun type focused on add clearing, but primaries can do it as well, and much better because of unlimited ammo.

4 通の返信It need a little buff Either some tracking or faster projectile The recent ammo buff was nice Btw does it still can only load 5 missile at a time?

I haven't fired a shot. I have the points done for the quest to get the catalyst but refuse to use it because of all I've heard. I know I should try for myself but I'm good. I'm not going to waste my time using a garbage weapon. Just another weapon for the pile of weapons I won't finish the masterwork on alongside Skyburners Oath.
-
Yay for me! I personally it! I do think it should be buffed a little to make it more friendly to use. In a game full of hits can weapons, they should at least increase the projectile speed of the slugs. Hell they should have made the catalyst give it Impulse Amplifier! That would have been way better!

itzJuztThomasにより編集済み: 3/22/2022 1:44:04 AMWhen you blew the 20 missiles in one go it was decent fun. Since they nerfed it to only fire groups of 5 shots it's a bit meh. If you don't really use it, leave the cat til you are bored.
