In Destiny 2 there are countless weapons that Guardians can use in battle. Yet amidst this variety, a weapon has emerged in Lightfall that stands out not only for its overwhelming destructive power but also for its particularly thoughtful design. We tell you why “Conditional Finality” is a true highlight that really packs a punch right now.
What kind of Exo-weapon is this? The weapon “Conditional Finality” is an exotic double-barrel shotgun in the kinetic slot that deals Stasis and Solar damage. Additionally, this piece is just good without being too complicated.
For this reason, it is currently considered the “super shotgun” in Destiny 2, offering explosive damage of an aggressive shotgun with lightning-fast reload and possessing huge build crafting potential.
- At higher difficulty levels in PvE, it offers surprising versatility.
- You can use the Exo-weapon to either strike carefully or take out an entire group of enemies with a single shot.
- It also has anti-champion abilities like freezing and igniting, which are extremely effective against Unstoppable and Barrier Champions, as both shots can stun.
- Even in PvP, it is a “super shutdown monster”.
- You can freeze opponents with it at a frightening speed and also quickly shut down the supers of other players.
The double-barreled shotgun “Conditional Finality” could therefore truly be one of the most versatile Exo-weapons currently available in Destiny 2.
Here you can see the weapon in action in the PvP endgame:
An extremely unique and fun weapon
Why should you get this weapon? The short version is: “Conditional Finality” feels fantastic, looks stunning, and sounds great.
With it, you can melt Champions in PvE or take down a bubble Titan and a well Warlock out of their safe zone in PvP. It also has the explosive damage of an aggressive shotgun with lightning-fast reload.
Its exact advantages are:
- Dual damage: Two shots split into Stasis and Solar damage.
- Paracausal pellets: Hits with almost all Stasis pellets freeze targets; hits with almost all Solar pellets ignite targets.
- Reinforced magazine: Increased reload speed when the magazine is empty.
- Textured grip: The grip’s friction is particularly strong, significantly improving handling while slightly reducing stability.
- Short barrel: Significantly improved handling at the cost of range and stability.
Here’s the note: Its range is not as bad as the statistics suggest. So if you happen to miss a shot, depending on the situation, you can also use the freezing or igniting effect to take down your opponents.
In addition, the firing order of the two rounds in the magazine is fixed. First Stasis, then Solar. And also, the shooting pattern of the weapon is very detailed. A synonym for darkness and light.
- The Stasis pellets hit in a triangular pattern, while the Solar pellets land in a circular formation on the target.
This is how much damage you can deal: When it comes to damage, this weapon can shine in both PvP and PvE.
- A normal critical hit deals 52,000 damage. A Stasis shot with a suitable weapon boost x1 deals 57,000 damage.
- With a well, you can therefore deal almost under or slightly over 100,000 damage per magazine in PvE activities.
The double-barreled shotgun “Conditional Finality” could therefore truly be one of the most versatile Exo-weapons currently available in Destiny 2.
Does the weapon also have disadvantages? Yes. The effectiveness of the weapon heavily depends on hitting the majority of the shots. Additionally, it’s sometimes difficult to get close to targets. In top-tier activities, it’s not the best idea to rush a champion with the Exo-shotgun and hope for the best.
Furthermore, with “Conditional Finality”, it greatly depends on hitting the majority of the rounds. There is no room for error with this weapon. Its advantages clearly lie in freezing or igniting opponents.
Another sentimental downside of this exotic, as some players find, is: It doesn’t make “pop pop”.
- So comments CycloneSP: “I’m mad that I can’t make ‘pop pop’ with it. Come on, Bungie! What’s the point of being a damn double-barrel shotgun if you can’t make ‘pop pop’?”
However, all these things couldn’t really diminish the success of the weapon. On the contrary. Guardians seem to love it.
Where can you get the weapon? Since the shotgun “Conditional Finality” is a raid Exo, this will certainly be the biggest hurdle to obtaining the weapon. It drops only from the current Lightfall raid “Root of Nightmares”.
However, if you’re waving this off now because you fall into the group of the unfortunate with the worst luck from the loot god and constant loot bad luck, we have good news: You can actively increase your drop chance for the weapon. Just like this has already been the case in the dungeon “Duality”.
- To do this, you just need to complete various raid triumphs.
- The triumphs gradually increase the initial drop chance for “Conditional Finality” from moderate to significant.
Here Nexxoss-Gaming presents the piece in more detail:
This Exo-shotgun is probably, alongside Telesto, one of the most fascinating weapons Destiny 2 has ever seen. Aesthetic design, that specified sound of ice and fire that you can softly hear crackling when you equip it, and its devastating power make it a vicious beauty.
Is it hard to get the weapon? Yes. But it is worth it. Because once you have this special piece in your hands, you quickly learn to appreciate it.
Have you already had luck in dropping the weapon? Then tell us how you find it. Or do you say “Conditional Finality” is not something I need in my collection? Then feel free to comment as well.
Next week in Destiny 2, by the way, is an important date, as Bungie will kick off the big showcase and reveal how the loot shooter will continue:
