Positive Outlook Auto Rifle In-Depth Review! Best Auto Rifle Season 2 of Destiny 2!
Hi Guardians welcome back for another destiny in-depth review where I review exotics and legendary gear 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 Curse of Osiris Vanguard Auto Rifle the Positive Outlook which is one of the three vanguard weapons that you can pick from Ikora at one of the curse of osiris missions. And you should forget about the other options because this is without a doubt the gun you should be picking, this is a fantastic auto rifle. But before I discuss the performance of this gun lets have a quick look at the perks.
The positive outlook comes with the
Precision frame
Jolt PS
Flash HS5
And the Transmission MS7 sights
Accurized rounds
Armor-piercing rounds and
Kill clip
For my pvp setup I like to use the Flash scope together with Accurized rounds to max out the oh so important range stat, and when I am playing PVE i switch it up for Armor-piercing rounds.
I tried the short zoom jolt PS scope but I did not enjoy it and it kicks a bit too much in my opinion , the Flash scope feels much better and that is what I roll with.
This gun sits in the 450 rpm archetype like the Origin Story, Uriel's Gift and the Number from the Future War Cult. One thing all of these guns have in common is that they all have the Precision frame which is basically the Counterbalance perk which make these hard hitting auto rifles very easy to handle, especially if you have extra CounterBalance mods on your gear to improve the recoil direction even more.
The Positive outlook stands out with its higher than average range stat and the final perk kill clip.
Kill clip is what made the Old Fashion Hand cannon and the Antiope-D SMG so popular and deadly.
Kill clip grants you increased damage when you reload after a kill. When we deep dive into the numbers the damage boost is a whopping 33% and it last for 5 seconds.
When we apply this number to the regular time to kill for the 450 rpm auto rifles you will see why kill clip is so strong.
The optimum time to kill with a typical 450 rpm auto rifle on a 200 health guardian is 5 headshots and 5 bodyshots. Where a headshot does 22 damage and a bodyshot 18, while kill clip is proc'd this will bring the headshot damage from 22 up to 29 making it a 7 headshot kill weapon, as opposed to needing 10 shots in a normal scenario.
So this has the potential to be one of the fastest killing gun in the game when kill clip procs.
To be realistic this won't happen often but when you have those magic moments where the stars are all aligned then you can be an unstoppable force in the crucible.
And when kill clip is not active the gun is still very good, it has amazing range and the stability is very manageable. Even after the slight nerf with the latest balance patch, this autorifle archetype is still very strong and I don't believe we will step away from these hard hitting auto rifles anytime soon.
So I can foresee that the positive outlook will be very dominant soon in the crucible especially since this is a guaranteed gun that you can get just by playing the game.
And in Pve kill clip comes in handy as well, as it is the natural tendency in Pve where you kill enemies. It is insanely fun to play pve with the origin story in your kinetic slot and the positive outlook in your energy slot. Where the rampage perk boost your damage output from the origin story and when you switch to your energy weapon kill clip helps you with your dps as well.
The Positive outlook differentiate itself among the other popular auto rifles with the high range stat and with it's top tier kill clip perk , when this perk is active you feel so powerful for those 5 seconds in the game and those moments are so precious, making me forget about all the negativity that is going around about this game.
So it is fantastic in Pvp and it has great utility as well in PvE, and thus I am going to give the Positive Outlook a well deserved A.
Thank you so much for watching this video. I knew this auto rifle would be amazing when I saw the kill clip perk and that it also belongs to the 450 rpm archetype, I had so much fun playing with this gun.
