In Destiny 2 Anarchy is a new exotic shotgun that came with Black Armory. Where can you find the weapon and how good is it in testing?
This is Anarchy: Of the five exotic weapons that are supposed to come with Destiny 2 “Black Armory”, “Anarchy” was the first to be found.
Anarchy dropped for members of the raid team who completed the raid “Scourge of the Past” for the first time.
Where can you find the shotgun? You have a chance to obtain the shotgun “Anarchy” if you complete the raid. It can be found in the last chest after the final boss of the raid, Insurrection Prime. However, it is not a guaranteed drop.
What is special about Anarchy? The special thing is that Anarchy does not throw grenades but sticky mines.
- These mines stick to any surface: to Guardians, aliens or areas. They deal damage to enemies over time.
- If you lay multiple sticky mines, they create a damage field between them. This deals damage to all enemies in this field.
It is therefore a mix of dot-slinger and geometry fun for the whole family.
How good is the raid exotic with Black Armory in Destiny 2?
This says YouTuber Nexxoss: The German-speaking YouTuber Nexxoss tested the weapon “Anarchy.” Here are his results:
The weapon deals double damage against individual enemies in PvE when two mines stick to one enemy. The damage is relatively high.
More than 2 mines on one enemy only deal minimally higher damage. Thus, two mines are sufficient to harass single targets with Anarchy.
Even with a minefield on the ground, it is sufficient to lay two mines. Additional mines increase the field but not the damage.
In PvE, the weapon is especially interesting because you can stick two mines to a large enemy and then keep shooting him with another weapon.
The minefields are suitable for hordes of enemies.
For PvP, Nexxoss cannot recommend the weapon “Anarchy.” Although you can stick the mines to enemies and ultimately take them out, they remain alive long enough to eliminate you.
According to Nexxoss, “Anarchy” is a fun weapon in PvE. While there are better weapons that deal more damage, the unique playstyle is enjoyable.
This says Aztecross Gaming: YouTuber Aztecross Gaming contributes some numbers to the weapon test of “Anarchy.”
The mines last for 20 to 25 seconds as long as they are not active. When the damage field activates, it is active for about 11.5 seconds. The field needs two ticks in PvP to kill an enemy, as it only deals 135 damage.
The field is well visible, and few enemies will walk into it. In addition, all mines explode once the bearer of the weapon dies.
Also, Aztecross Gaming cannot recommend “Anarchy” for PvP.
In PvE, a sticky grenade also ticks for 11.5 seconds for 786 damage each.
In addition, there is a small impact damage (141) and a larger explosion at the end (559).
When you attach two sticky grenades to an enemy, the numbers are doubled. But Aztecross is ultimately not impressed by that.
Aztecross sees the utility of the weapon in building a barrier with two sticky mines in front of him to destroy many melee enemies in horde-mode activities.
However, he is not particularly enthusiastic about the weapon. For him, a heavy weapon should deal maximum damage immediately. The weapon is good for encounters where you need to take down both the boss and many adds at the same time. However, Aztecross can only think of Omnigul for that – and that was only in Destiny 1.
It looks like “Anarchy” is a fun weapon, but not a “must-have” like the earlier raid exotics.
