Hi Guardians welcome back for another destiny in-depth review where I review exotics and legendary gear, whether this is a weapon or armor in order to give you a comprehensive understanding of the gear so you can play this game as efficient and effective as possible.
Today we are going to review the Auto rifle the Origin Story. This is currently one of the most popular auto rifles in the game. It sits in the Medium fast firing archetype which is the 450 RPM category, and if you do not know this yet. This is currently the meta of the game.
Let's go over the perks.
This gun has the hitmark IS
Red dot 2 MOA
And the Red Dot Micro scope
I use the Red Dot Micro to max out the range of this gun so I can negate the damage fall off as much as possible.
Appended Magazine which increases the mag from 32 to 36
Flared magwell, which increases the reload speed and stability of the gun
And rampage which increases the damage of this gun after a kill , which we will talk about it later in this review.
This gun sits in a very nice place at the moment, the 450 RPM auto rifles are dominating the crucible and the Origin Story is one of the best in this weapon archetype.
It is a very balanced gun in terms of range, recoil and target acquisition. On the short to medium range you won't have any problems hitting your target. It has great range and the gun is very stable. With the perks and scopes I recommend to build on the strengths of this gun by using the Red Dot Micro scope which increases the range and Flared Magwell which does not only increases your reload speed but also adds stability as well to the gun.
The perk that makes this gun special is the Rampage perk. This perk will increase the damage of this gun after a kill for a short time and it stacks up to 3 times.
But what does this perk exactly do? So lets test it out.
Without proccing rampage you will do 23 damage to the head and 16 damage to the body
1 stack of rampage will increase the damage to 25 to the head and 18 to the body
2 stacks of rampage will do 28 damage to the head and 20 to the body
And 3 stacks of rampage will do a whopping 30 to the head and 22 damage to the body.
After some thorough testing of the rampage perk, we now know that this perk is basically the stackable version of the Crowd Control perk from Destiny 1. After a kill you will get a 15% increase in damage for 3 seconds and that can stack up to 3 times.
It is pretty rare to get 3 stacks of rampage in pvp, since the perk only last 3 seconds and sometimes you will need to reload which lets you lose precious seconds to benefit from the perk, most likely you will be able to get 1 or 2 stacks of this perk before this runs out.
But this perk does make a big difference if you are going into a 1v1 and your opponent has a similar gun, assuming you have the same armor level as your opponent you will win that battle if this perk is active.
So this gun is great on the short to medium range and it is has great perks as well that really plays well on the strength of this gun, the only downside is that you will have a harder time with hitting your target on those longer ranges. But luckily for us, in general the maps are not that big so typically you don't have to engage in the medium to long range. And the gun actually does surprisingly well in the long range when you compare it with other auto rifles, you are still hitting your target but you will need to do a lot more recoil control compared with when you are on the short to medium range, which is really where the origin story shines.
In Pve, this gun is great, the rampage perk works especially well here since you can easily get multiple kills within a short amount of time. In Pve I would swap Flared Magwell with appended mag so you have those extra bullets to deal more DPS before the rampage perk runs out.
What more can I say, this auto rifle kills stuff and it kills stuff very well.
So this gun is very well rounded, in pvp this is my trusty workhorse which is consistent and stable and it is easy to hit your target as long as you don't enter too much into the medium to long range area. And it is also doing a great job in PVE as well, the rampage perk will help with that extra damage boost and it is very easy to proc this when you are dealing with a lot of adds. It won't be a DPS weapon for bosses but that is why you have your super or power weapon for, your primary is to deal with low level enemies and that is exactly what this gun is good at.
To sum it up the gun is a very consistent workhorse in Pvp and it does its job in Pve as well which is slaying enemies, this gun is not crazy Overpowered but as I said it just does its job very well, and thus I am going to give the Origin Story an A.
Thank you so much for watching this review, I know that some of us do not have a lot of time to play the game, because of work , family or other things. But I hope my destiny in-depth reviews helps you to be as efficient as possible in playing this game so you can get the most out of your playing time.
