Crota’s End Weapons are in the API and on light.gg now. I haven’t used any yet but thought it might be cool to share our ideas for how to craft them.

I think the origin trait is a little iffy on these guns since basically all of them except the shotgun are longer range weapons so I’m not really taking that into account. It makes the gun create Thrall explosions on kill after a melee kill.

Here’s mine:

Abyss Defiant (360 RPM Solar AR):

• Probably Arrowhead for the barrel to get it to 100 recoil direction.
• Dealer’s choice on Ricochet or High Cal rounds.
• PVE:
  • Really interested to Heal Clip on a Primary. Probably would combine this with Incandescent for maximum Solar synergy.
  • Reconstruction/Target Lock is also solid.
  • Sword Logic is new so I’m interested to see how it would stack against the other damage perks. Probably combine with Subsistence.
• PVP:
  • Zen Moment or Enlightened Action in the first column. Target Lock or EOTS in the second column.

Oversoul Edict (Rapid Fire Arc PR):

• Rapid Fire PRs basically need Arrowhead and a Counterbalance Mod to combat their piss poor recoil. Especially if you plan to use it in PVP.
• Again High Cal or Ricochet on the Mag.
• PVE:
  • I’m looking at Demolitionist/Voltshot but there’s a few other combos.
• PVP:
  • Keep Away/Headseeker and Keep Away/Moving Target seem like good options.
• This gun has stiff competition with Horror’s Least though. IDK if I’d personally use it for PVP but I know Horror’s Least was very hard to get.

Fang of Ir Yut (Rapid Fire Strand Scout):

• I believe this is the first craftable rapid fire scout in the primary slot?
• Even so I think it’s the weakest of the bunch because of it’s competition.
• Same for Barrel and Mag as the PR above.
• PVE:
  • Scouts kinda suck in PVE right now. I’d probably go Rewind Rounds with Hatchling or Precision Instrument.
• PVP:
  • I’d much rather use this in PVP but with Randy’s existing it’s hard to justify it.
  • I’d probably go Rapid Hit/Kill Clip.

Swordbreaker (Lightweight Strand Shotgun):

• I’m not really sure how to set up shotguns these days with Barrels. Smoothbore?
• Mag is either Assault Mag or Accurized.
• In PVE I’m probably going Threat Detector/Surrounded to combo with the origin trait.
• PVP I’m going Slideshot/Opening Shot. I’m curious to see how it stacks against Wastelander which is incredible in PVP.

Song of Ir Yut (Adaptive Frame Arc MG)

• Finally some good fucking food.
• This is only the second craftable Adaptive Frame MG and first Arc.
• I think Barrel is dealer’s choice. I personally am going for higher handling w/ Fluted Barrel for better gun feel.
• PVE:
  • Voltshot all day. This thing should be VERY good at add clear. Probably combo with Demolitionist or Feeding Frenzy.
  • Now the question is does Rewind Rounds proc Voltshot when it loads additional rounds? If so then that is the clear choice.
  • You could also do Reconstruction/Bait and Switch which might be good this season on Overloads but IDK.
• PVP:
  • Zen Moment/Target Lock seems like the obvious choice.
