Uriel's Gift vs Origin Story The ultimate comparison
The Uriel's Gift and the Origin Story are the two most popular auto rifles in the game, and that is for a good reason. They are both very easy to use, comes with great stability and they both have good range.
But which one should you use? That is the question that we will answer in this video.
Before we start comparing these guns with each other. Lets go over these guns one by one and lets start with the Origin Story
The Origin Story sits in the kinetic slot and as for the perks you have the option of appended mag and flared magwell. I recommend Appended Mag for PVE so you have extra bullets to spare before you need to reload, and for Pvp I recommend Flared magwell to max out the stability and increase your reload speed so you can be ready as soon as possible for your next engagement.
The main perk is rampage which will increase the damage output after a kill and this can stack up to 3 times. We established from my previous in-depth video that the damage increase is 15% and this will last for 3 seconds. This can make the difference in gun fights where you are up against multiple opponents, but since it only last 3 seconds you hardly ever get this stacked up to three times in the crucible.
However this perk is great in Pve since there are a lot of low level enemies and especially in activities like public events, strikes , nightfalls or in the raid you will see the rampage perk proc very often and that extra damage boost makes life much easier in PVE where you can maximize your damage output as much as possible.
The Uriels Gift on the other hand sits in the energy slot so you have extra damage against supers in the crucible, and as for the perks you have the option of High Caliber Rounds and Steady Rounds, lets be honest unless high caliber rounds gets nerfed this is the go to perk for this gun. The final perk is tap the trigger which gives you increased stability and accuracy on the initial trigger pull.
When you put these two guns together you can see that they have similar stats, with my current set up of the guns the Uriels Gift has slighty more range and handling whereas the Origin Story has better reload speed. But those differences in stats are so tiny that these guns behave essentially the same. The main differences between these guns are their perks.
The Origin Story with Flared Magwell and Rampage works hand in hand with each other, where flared magwell makes your reload faster so you are ready for the next engagement to benefit as much as possible from the rampage perk. However the rampage perk will have more utility in PVE than in PVP. Like I said before in PVE you can easily have this stacked up to 3 times most of the time, however with PVP 3 seconds passes by very fast in the crucible and more than often this just wears out before you can utilize this on the next opponent.
As for the Uriel's Gift, High Caliber rounds is the current top tier perk for any gun, and tap the trigger is just an icing on the cake on an already well rounded gun.
So next to the perks the main difference is also the weapon slot that they occupy. The Origin Story sits in the kinetic slot, so that means you will need to give up on other strong kinetic alternatives like the MIDA or good hand cannons like the Better Devils.
But on the other hand you can pair this baby up with strong energy weapons like the Last Hope or your favorite submachine gun.
As for the Uriels Gift its the other way around, because it occupies the energy slot, you will sacrifice the use of the Last Hope, but on the other hand you do have the option to use the Mida which is the most popular weapon now in the game or you can even pair it up with the other populair kinetic gun the Antiope-D submachine gun.
So which one is truly the best? Well that kind of depends on the use of the weapon. If you are planning to do a PVE activity I would say use the Origin Story because the extra dps that you get out of the rampage perk makes your game just so much more efficient.
If you are planning to use one of these guns in PVP, then actually both guns are very good. But if I have to choose I would say that the Uriel's Gift will have a very slight advantage, High Caliber Rounds is just so good that it is hard to pass on it, on top of that since it sits in the energy slot it has the added ability of doing extra damage to supers without changing your weapon from kinetic to your energy weapon when you are using the origin story instead.
And The Uriel's Gift also allows you to use the MIDA in your kinetic slot, and at the moment this is just a very effective combo.
But this heavily relies on the fact that high caliber rounds stay as effective as it is, if high caliber rounds is ever getting a nerf in the future then the the origin story will be the one that has a slight advantage due to the rampage perk.
But nevertheless both guns are great weapons and using either one of them in PVP or PVE will not let you down.
Thank you so much for watching , I really like both guns and to me the choice in using either one of them really depends on what my choice is for the other weapon slot. If I want to play with a Mida then I would use Uriel's Gift, but if I prefer to use the last Hope than I would choose the Origin Story instead.
