Honorable Mentions – also noteworthy
In the previous pages, we discussed the most outstanding weapon Exotics for Shadowkeep. The following two exotic weapons did not quite make it into the top 5. However, we do not want to withhold these excellent firearms from you.
Bad Juju
What Bad Juju can do: The pulse rifle is carried in the kinetic slot and requires primary ammunition. The “Destiny 1” return generates super energy on kills and reloads the weapon. On top of that, there is a stackable damage buff.
All of this is worth its weight in gold since the changes in Shadowkeep. Like the Huckleberry, exotic damage bonuses have been significantly stronger than their regular variants since Shadowkeep. And you can fire with increased damage almost continuously.
How to get the pulse rifle: To obtain Bad Juju (Bad Karma), you need to offer sacrifices to Emperor Calus in the Tribute Hall. You can also find the exotic catalyst there. Thanks to this improvement, you have more time to stack your damage buff up to level five.
Eriana’s Vow
What Eriana’s Vow can do: The solar hand cannon belongs in the energy slot and requires special ammunition for its rounds. The new Shadowkeep Exotic is intrinsically equipped with “anti-barrier rounds.” This allows the revolver to break shields and shoot through barriers – even those of raid bosses.
Moreover, the new barrier champions are not as dangerous anymore because of Eriana’s Vow. When the persistent adversaries initiate their shield regeneration, you can break the shield with a few shots – the champion even staggers for a moment afterwards.
How to get the hand cannon: The weapon can be acquired from the season pass. You can obtain the catalyst from weapon master Banshee-44 in the Tower. Once you level the catalyst, Eriana’s Vow will automatically reload its increased magazine.
