This exotic melts everything in Destiny 2 that comes into its sights away. The One Thousand Voices is so overpowered that initial comparisons to Gjallarhorn’s status have emerged.
Exotic causes a stir: Recently, videos of a new OP weapon in Destiny 2 have been circulating on social media. It kills Strike bosses with just four shots or takes out entire Guardian teams in PvP with the press of a button. Such an exaggeratedly strong weapon that dominates all Destiny activities hasn’t been seen in years.
This exotic is about: It is the “One Thousand Voices” – the “Eintausend Stimmen”. This is an exotic fusion rifle that is not only extremely rare but also extremely powerful.
Perks and location of One Thousand Voices
How to obtain One Thousand Voices: This exotic drops exclusively in the “Last Wish” raid. If you defeat the final boss, you have a chance at One Thousand Voices. However, the drop is said to be quite rare – many will have to complete the raid multiple times to obtain the weapon.
Per week, you should only have a chance for One Thousand Voices once per character. So you’ll have to rely on luck. Only the World-First team from Last Wish received the weapon guaranteed after the final boss encounter.
What One Thousand Voices can do
One Thousand Voices has exciting stats for a fusion rifle:
The charge time is an incredible 1000, the range is a maximum of 100. Only the handling is really poor – which, given the weapon’s enormous power, is bearable. In-game, you can see that the damage bar of the weapon is fully filled.
These perks make the weapon special:
- Eye of Ahamkara: Loading this weapon fires a massive, continuous death ray.
- Unexpected Outcomes: The beam of this weapon heats its targets upon impact and explodes after a short delay.
What does this mean concretely? The magazine holds 4 shots. Per “shot,” the weapon briefly discharges a death ray that deals damage on direct hits immediately. Additionally, this death ray, which sticks to enemies and surfaces, deals area damage as the beam explodes after a short delay.
This is how One Thousand Voices plays
The “massive death ray,” as it’s officially called, is no exaggeration. Because at all ranges, it kills precisely and also causes area damage. One Thousand Voices melts enemies away in PvP and PvE.
In this video, Mtashed showcases One Thousand Voices. The spot is marked at 1:41 where he eliminates a pseudo-legendary and then a Strike boss (in Nightfall) in just a few seconds:
Better than Sleeper Simulant: According to Mtashed, One Thousand Voices plays similarly to Sleeper Simulant – only with additional area damage. Additionally, no laser beam is fired that must land precisely. Instead, you can first target one enemy and then further targets while the death ray leaves the weapon.
Laser weapon + rocket launcher: You can use One Thousand Voices like a Sleeper Simulant as a precise laser weapon and like a rocket launcher with powerful area damage – all at the same time during one shot. First, take out one enemy and then scatter the death ray around to eliminate more enemies.
The weapon combines basically everything you could wish for from a power weapon. A big boss dies quickly, large groups of enemies can be eliminated in no time, and in PvP, you can land precision shots at all ranges or just spread chaos.
How overpowered One Thousand Voices performs in PvP can be seen in this video from Mtashed where he eliminates multiple Guardian squads at once:
Two disadvantages of the weapon:
- It is cumbersome to handle. You have to aim reasonably well to land precision shots in PvP.
- If you fire the death ray at your own feet, you die yourself.
Gjallarhorn comparisons arise
Strong and versatile: One Thousand Voices not only deals devastating damage but is also usable in many situations. According to Mtashed, it is definitely one of the best exotics ever to exist in Destiny. It even reminds of the Gjallarhorn, which still enjoys cult status in the community.
Gjallarhorn feeling: In Year 1 of Destiny 1, Gjallarhorn was the overpowered weapon that every Guardian wanted. Because this rocket launcher was the solution to all problems. There was no need for tactics, just shoot Gjallarhorn at bosses or hordes of enemies – after that, nothing stood anymore. It is similar with One Thousand Voices now.
One Thousand Voices is an extremely rare drop and thus a weapon that only a few Guardians possess right now. With Gjallarhorn, you also had to rely on luck (or on Xur) to obtain it. And all Guardians who didn’t have the weapon hoped to get it soon. The greed of Guardians for power is now repeating itself with One Thousand Voices.
What do the Guardians say? In the comments under the videos, fans write that they hope Bungie will never nerf the weapon. Because they can hardly wait to hold One Thousand Voices in their hands. Comparisons with former OP weapons like Gjallarhorn or the Vex Mythoclast are drawn, and they reminisce together about the old days.
What does Bungie say? We have no statement from Bungie regarding One Thousand Voices. It remains to be seen how dominant the weapon will be in the future when numerous Guardians possess it. In a few weeks, many players should have higher power levels to successfully complete the raid.
Currently, only a handful of Guardians possess the weapon – with which they are now having a good time in Destiny 2.
