Throughout its lifespan, Destiny has released numerous Dungeon and Raid-exclusive Exotic weapons. From Divinity to Conditional Finality, some have established themselves as the best Exotic weapons in Destiny 2. However, certain older Raid weapons haven\u2019t aged so well. Years of power creep and stronger content being released have left these Exotics in a tough place. Now Destiny 2 fans think they\u2019ve identified the biggest offender of this with one of the looter shooter\u2019s classic Exotics failing the test of time. One Thousand Voices Exotic labeled \u201cunderwhelming\u201d by Destiny 2 community After playing around with the One Thousand Voices Fusion Rifle, a Destiny 2 player was left unimpressed. The Heavy Exotic weapon hasn\u2019t aged well with the user branding it \u201cunderwhelming,\u201d and \u201cbad.\u201d The post reads: \u201cOne Thousand Voices is incredibly underwhelming for a Raid Exotic. I took it back out after a few years in the Vault and yes, it\u2019s sick as hell to use, but my god, I forgot how bad it is. Its damage output is not worth an Exotic, or even just a Heavy slot, with how little ammo it can hold.\u201d Trying to identify a role for the Exotic Fusion Rifle, they continued: \u201cIt\u2019s maybe fine on ad clear, but only for niche situations when you can\u2019t use a Sword and a Machine Gun just wouldn\u2019t cut it for some reason, and then at that point, you\u2019re probably out of heavy for boss damage.\u201d This sentiment proved popular with another player responding: \u201cOh man, I completely agree with this. I was running DSC Abomination and these guys decided to use 1K. I thought that rockets would be better since I always one phase with rockets. After about 5 DPS attempts and not 1 phase, I said to use rockets.\u201d A similarly minded user replied: \u201cI still pull it out occasionally, but it\u2019s bad. If you\u2019re using a Power weapon for ad clear, a legendary machine gun is better than this raid exotic. A few fans reminisced over when One Thousand Voices was meta: \u201cI miss Particle Deconstruction, it was so fun to have 1K viable. Wish it got a catalyst.\u201d Particle Deconstruction was an Armor Mod in Season 15 that increased the damage dealt by Fusion Rifles and Linear Fusion Rifles. This damage increased stacked and was very powerful with One Thousand Voices. A few fans proposed that this should be brought back as a catalyst for the Exotic Fusion Rifle. One Thousand Voices isn\u2019t the only Exotic Weapon to spark debate in the Destiny 2 community. Players have also been unhappy with one of Huckleberry\u2019s traits which they believe isn\u2019t being described accurately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players lament \u201cunderwhelming\u201d Raid Exotic that\u2019s been power crept BungieDestiny 2 players have been trying out old exotics, leading them to the conclusion that the One Thousand Voices Exotic Fusion Rifle is \u201cincredibly underwhelming,\u201d despite it being a Raid exclusive drop.
