While the majority of Exotics with Champion mods are weapons, there are a few Exotics (at least one for each class) that feature Champion traits. Unstoppable via Scorch/Ignition via Catalyst These weapons have built-in anti-Champion capabilities, ensuring you will always have an Exotic option when it comes to dealing with champs. While players can always change up their loadouts and use the new set of Champion mods with different weapons, there exist a set of weapons that will always have the same Champion mods: Exotics. Exotics with intrinsic Champion mods Divinity is one of the Exotic weapons that features a built-in anti-Champion mod: Overload.Īs the name suggests, seasonal mods change. In order to expand your arsenal, it’s worth considering some of these Exotics that come with intrinsic Champion mods. However, while some will fall back on seasonal Champion mods, there are those that utilize various Exotics to deal with the shielding, teleporting and wrecking-ball like foes. This would retain the value and intent of Breakthrough, without pushing it into overpowered or “must have” territory.Īll in all, Bastion is a fun weapon for the Crucible that would need some tweaks to be made viable in endgame PVE.Dealing with Champions in endgame has become the norm for players in Destiny 2. I would have it deal just enough damage to keep the champion from fully regenerating their health, but not so much as to make Anti-Barrier weapons pointless. If I could change one thing about Breakthrough, it would be to allow the slugs from this weapon to partially penetrate through Barrier Champion’s barrier. The one PVE activity I can see this being helpful in would be high level Nightmare Hunts when you’ll need to get rid of the Solar Shielded adds that spawn between damage phases on bosses. Shielded elites in Ordeal Nightfalls will shrug off the damage to their health bars as they blast you with Boom Cannons or Wizard Bolts. Unfortunately, Breakthrough also falls short in PVE playlists where damaging enemies through their elemental shields matters most. I wish Breakthrough interacted with enemies in PVP, but that might push Bastion into overpowered territory. Taking Bastion into PVP requires accepting you’re using an exotic with, effectively, one less perk on it. It’s unfortunate Breakthrough’s benefits don’t work in the Crucible. But, you’ll have a very hard time taking advantage of this against higher skilled players as they’ll use their Super’s mobility to ensure they don’t take all three spreads from your shots. A benefit to using Bastion in PVP is its ability to destroy Supers with just one shot if they’re within your effective range. Treat its range like that of any non High Impact Frame fusion rifle and you’ll be rewarded with kills. Gameplayīastion is a perfectly serviceable hybrid of a Fusion Rifle and Shotgun in PVP. This means that in a playlist where modifiers like Match Game are active, you can still deal damage directly to shielded enemies’ health bars. Bastion occupies the same slot as Izanagi’s Burden, and has no real chance of dethroning the current king of exotic kinetic weapons.īastion’s unique Legendary trait is Breakthrough A portion of this weapon’s damage bypasses elemental shields. The lack of critical damage on this weapon means it will probably never be a must have for end game PVE playlists. Bastion’s fire pattern is very reliable and manageable, regardless of your preferred input and platform. Interestingly, this is one weapon with recoil equally controllable on console as it is on PC. It’s important to note that Bastion, like Xenophage, cannot deal critical damage in either PVP or PVE. So, theoretically, you can kill three Guardians with just one charge of this weapon. This is enough damage to kill max Resilience Guardians in PVP with just one of the three spreads. Destiny’s engine rounds off damage values, so it’s possible the pellets are doing at least 29 damage. There are seven pellets in each round of slugs fired, with each pellet hitting for nearly 30 damage in PVP. Its intrinsic Exotic trait is Saint’s Fists Charge to fire 3 spreads of Kinetic slugs. In the future, its Catalyst might change that capacity, but the Catalyst’s benefits are currently unknown. It has a Range value of 33, a Stability of 52, Handling of 34, Reload Speed of 32, Aim Assist of 65, and a Recoil direction of 75.īastion currently carries a 4-round magazine. Statsīastion comes with a Charge Time of 740, meaning Bastion takes 740 milliseconds to fully charge before firing.

Bastion is the first, and so far only, Exotic Kinetic Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2.
