In my opinion, it’s good. It packs a punch like a sniper. I like how it takes away elemental shields in one shot (if not two) and tenderizes the enemy. It is easily my top pick for Gambit! It’s good for the Crucible and Strikes (especially on the Fanatic boss fight). I have yet to try it in a Raid.
What are your thoughts on the Arbalest?

2 RepliesIts surprisingly fun in crucible. I don’t usually like trace rifles and I found myself enjoying it immensely

I think it adds value to the slot choice and overall seems a pretty good weapon, was easy enough for the vast majority to get.

Fun for goofing off, but difficult to use in practice. Just went "ah, screw this" when trying to nail precision hits and solved problems the old fashioned way: with my fist and my sword. I'm not really one for precision/headshot-oriented weapons, though. The only weapons of that category I like are a couple particular scout rifles.

3 RepliesI personally don’t like it. I feel like it has no place, especially when genesis exists on kinetic snipers and is of so little use in close combat where a shotgun takes shields+life away in one shot, with incredibly higher rate of fire.

My Jotunn has defeated it quite a few times.

I just got it and I ain’t used it much but first impressions: I don’t care for it. But I don’t care for fusions much anyways. Looks cool tho; I love the Dark Age style weaponry

I’ve found it pairs nicely with the Recluse and Hammerhead for Prime Reckoning. It has the range and impact that works well with the Recluse.

I hate it. I am WAY more successful using snipers (silicon neuroma/twilight).

I’ve actually been liking it quite a lot. I was farming the nightfall for militias birthlihjt not long ago, the thing packs a punch

Good for pretty much all game modes. There’s other stuff that’s better than it, but something about it just feels good.

I like it
