Hi Guardians, welcome back! In today’s video we are going to review the return of the word of crota hand cannon which can be earned from the crota’s end raid.

This was one of the two hand cannons back in year one that had an elemental burn, Word of crota was void and fatebringer was arc. Now with the latest age of triumph update these guns are brought back to year 3 and have been splitted in a legendary and an exotic version where only the exotic version has the elemental damage, other than that they are both the same gun.  

Lets have a look at the perks

It has Hive disrupter

Steadyhand IS

Fastdraw IS

Sureshot IS

Zen moment

Speed reload

Hammer forged

Explosive rounds

And phantom gift which will return a bullet to the mag after hitting three precision shot

My setup is Sureshot IS , zen moment, explosive rounds and phantom gift.

The middle column choice basically comes down to having either range or explosive rounds.

I choose explosive rounds because the range increase from hammer forge is not worth the tradeoff with explosive rounds. Hammer forge increases the range from 25 to 37, whereas ideally you want to have a range stat of at least 50 to negate all the range nerfs. Without perks like rifled or reinforced barrel to give that needed range bump the better  option would be to choose explosive rounds instead to give that extra potential damage boost, because the range increase of 12 points is not worth it when you compare it to the usefulness of explosive rounds.

Explosive rounds do not suffer from any damage drop off, and it has the potential to damage nearby enemies.

Zen moment and Phantom gift also works very well together, zen moment helps increasing the stability when you damage an enemy and thus it increases the chance on hitting three precision shots which will return one bullet to the mag. And the high aim assist will also help with that as well.

Other than that the gun feels very snappy and fast, this is due to the high equip speed of 89 and a solid reload stat of 53.

The elemental damage will come in handy when there is a burn for strikes or nightfall , but it really depends on the situation and the modifiers whether it is worth the exotic slot.

Overall this is a solid gun , but unfortunately the biggest drawback is that the range is pretty low. This will make it pretty much unusable in the crucible where range is king. Not that you cant do well with it, but you are at an unnecessary disadvantage when you are facing those vendor god rolled Palindromes and Eyasluna’s.

But you will have a much better time with this gun in PVE, it has a good mag size of 12 and due to the phantom gift perk you have a potentially bigger mag as well provided you are hitting your precision shots.

But again due to the low range stat you will be having a hard time on those longer ranges when you are playing strikes or nightfalls. And you should be fine in raids as most of the engagement are in a closed environment where enemies are coming at you so you dont have to engage on any long ranges.

But all in all the word of crota can not keep up with a well rolled Imago Loop or Fatebringer. Imago Loop with a range perk will be the better choice for PVE and Fatebringer has that awesome combination of firefly and outlaw which is hard to beat.

So if you dont have a well rolled imago loop or fatebringer, then go ahead this gun will serve you well but you should replace it as soon as possible when you get your fatebringer or imago loop dropped because those guns are simply the better choice.

That sums it up for the video, A like is appreciated if you enjoyed this.

Top 3 Arc Raid Elemental Primaries

Hi guardians welcome back for the final Top 3 Elemental Primary weapon video, today I will be showing you the top 3 best arc primaries in the game.  

I have done similar top 3 video already for the Void and Solar top 3 primaries , if you have missed out on it check the video links in the description below or you can find the videos as a youtube card in the right hand corner that should pop up now.

Elemental primaries can help you a lot in raids in dealing with those annoying shielded enemies.

With the current raids you will be looking for Void primaries for the Vault of Glass and Wrath of the machine raids or Solar for Crota’s end and the Kings Fall raid.

By all means save your exotic slot for your favorite special or heavy weapon but if you want to use an elemental primary for raids you will be looking for a Void or Solar primary depending on the encounter.

Arc shielded enemies are mainly found on strikes or you can find arc burns on activities like the nightfall.

And we have a good selection of arc primaries that can be used for these activities:

The Vault of Glass gives us the famous weapons

The pulse rifle Praedyth’s Timepiece

And the year 1 favorite PVE primary the Fatebringer

Crota’s End has the arc Oversoul Edict Pulse Rifle and the scout Fang of ir Yut

Anguish of Drystan is the arc auto rifle from the kings fall raid

And the wrath of the machine gives us the chaos dogma arc scout rifle

Other arc primaries are of course the Zhalo supercell and we have the arc necrochasm

Lets start with the number 3 spot which is reserved for the Fang of Ir Yut scout rifle. This is an excellent scout rifle which sits in the popular 48 impact archetype similar like the hung jury, cryptic dragon and vision of confluence.

The base stats are great it has an higher than average range stat and the rest are pretty much average. And average in this case is not a bad thing, this gun is actually very balanced and that is one of the strengths of the gun.

It has very solid perk options for every encounters coming your way and it is up to the guardian’s preference what perks you prefer. But most of us will be using the spray and play, perfect balance and third eye setup which is a solid choice for every encounter whether you are playing PVE or PVP.

So again this gun is very balanced and versatile but it is lacking something extra’s which can make this gun excel what other guns do have in the number 2 and 1 spot.

But other than that it is easily one of the best scout rifles in the game, and thus it earns the number 3 spot.

In number 2 we have the zhalo supercell. The zhalo supercell was previously the only arc primary option before the raid adept elemental primaries got introduced with the age of triumph.

Looking at the base stats it does not show anything interesting , it is just a mid impact autorifle and autorifles are not the best options to choose from for PVE or PVP.

But it is the exotic perk and the arc damage that makes this gun superb. The exotic perk zhalo supercell and the Bolts from the blue perk are working perfectly together which is great for crowd control and it also has the potential where you don’t need to reload the gun because the perk is giving you ammo back with double kills and it also charges your super as well.

The Abyss encounter in the Crota’s end raid is an excellent example where this gun can make your life so much easier where the exotic perk procs so often because all of the enemies are clumped up, which make it so easy for you to get those double kills so you can get your ammo back and it charges your super.

Because this gun is so good with dealing with multiple enemies it earns the number two spot!

And at number one spot we have the famous Fatebringer.

Fatebringer has been the favorite gun in year 1 due to the versatility of the gun in PVE, it was simply the answer to everything. You would bring it to daily missions, strikes, nightfalls and raids. There was no situation where you would need to use another gun.

But since the hand cannon nerf and the fact that it was not brought up to max light level this gun simple disappeared.

But it is now back , but not in all its former glory though. As mentioned before the range got nerfed and it also suffered from the ammo nerf which means that you will be looking hand cannon ammo every now and then.

But despite all of this the fatebringer is still a fantastic weapon to use due to the combination of the perks firefly and outlaw. The hand cannon in itself is already a very good weapon to use because it has the ability to one shot low level enemies and by  adding the perks of firefly and outlaw you will be building upon the strength of the gun and limiting the drawbacks of using a hand cannon. Firefly gives gives that extra crowd control damage that you can potentially do with each shot and outlaw makes sure that you can continue your damage output as fast as possible by giving you a fast reload.

And that damage boost can even be increased with the use of explosive rounds which has become the go to perk in the middle tree now. And for those who dont know this yet, explosive rounds are also perfect for dealing with shielded enemies because the damage from explosive rounds are not affected by the shield, so this is perfect for bringing down those pesky shielded enemies in raids or nightfalls.

The fatebringer is not the go to primary weapon anymore , depending on different scenarios there are cases where for example the Zhalo supercell or the touch of malice will do a better job as your primary, and scouts are still very popular as well since hand cannons now lost much of their range.

But despite all of this the Fatebringer is still in my opinion the best all round primary weapon in the game, with or without its elemental damage!

And because of that the Fatebringer earns it number one spot.

So that wraps it up for the video, check out my Solar and Void top 3 video if you have missed it. You can find it in the right hand corner as a Youtube card. You can also find a video where I showcased all the Raid Elemental primaries.

Anyways let me know your thoughts on the top 3 in the comments below.
