Riposte Is Great, But Has A Few Key Flaws You NEED To Overcome

Thank you for watching!

1:03 re muzzle flash, just like Coolguy predicted in the video, patch notes just came out saying it should be fixed: "Reduced the muzzle flash visual effects of The Riposte Auto Rifle." (DESTINY 2 UPDATE 8.0.0.7)

I was just happy to have a void 720 AR added to the game, been a hot minute since GoS dropped with the last one (and I've still never done that raid 😅)

the recoil pattern analysis is so helpful in all of your vids. No other place to go for me

I absolutely lucked out with an Arrowhead, Ricochet, Zen, KC + Range and immediately enhanced and masterworked it. Feels amazing on console and over IB there are moments where you just delete players in groups. Very very fun (and looks slick with the Halloween black ornament)

It’s really weird to me that a Comp reward is explicitly designed to be uncompetitive with that recoil pattern.

Love all the D2 content creators out there.. I'll watch all of Cross's weapon reviews for fun, and Cammy for mad scientist stuff that I could never do, but there's nothing like a Coolguy video to help me decide what roll I should chase on a gun, esp for PvP! The thorough work on recoil patterns alone is amazing. 🔥

Loving all these reviews. Hope you’re doing alright. That muzzle flash and recoil has been hurting this gun for me so much.

My first roll was tap the trigger/kill clip/ricochet and corkscrew/hammer forged. I LOVE this thing. I'm not a great PVP player, it takes me ages to work out what is working best for me, sometimes I go long periods without being truly comfortable with my set up but boy have I really found a groove with The Riposte as part of my loadout. Absolutely shreds at close quarters. Feels great, so glad I braved comp for it

Didn’t like this weapon for a good long time until I stumbled across an insane roll for a particular playstyle. I got a drop with Repulsor/KC and maximum stability (ricochet/smallbore/fitted stock/stability MW), and I thought… let’s see how this plays with Gyrfalcon on Void. Listen to me when I tell you that this thing absolutely shreds. You treat this thing like an smg, use invis to get in close, and after your first kill you’re unbeatable in duels. I know that Shayura’s exists with the same perk combo, but something about this thing (maybe the 720 rpm with volatile) makes it work so well. Even with near base range, it has better falloff than a 100 range SMG, and comparable handling. Played a ton of Iron Banner with it and got more we rans than I can remember… if you get a roll like this, you’ve got to give it a try.

I enjoy it. I got TTT/target lock that I primarily use. It melts

Target lock goes hard on this.

Love to hear you talking about muzzle flash and visibility. It's personally the most important thing about a weapon for me, right next to ADS reticle height being good enough to never be obstructed. Would love to hear more discussions about that, and maybe if you know about any old favorites that do extremely well on that front. Seems like it's one out of a hundred weapons to come out that have an excellently clean and crisp firing experience these days...

Thanks for gettin nerdy with it buddy...👊

I got tap the trigger and target lock and love it! Feels great for dueling.

Hammer forged, high cal, range masterwork, TTT and target lock is slept on. Boi.... .75 ttk with no kill needed and going from one target to another just melting. Feels so good

Hello! Been watching for a while now I genuinely believe you have the most thorough and well spoken reviews of any channel out there. One question I have is you always show so many different rolls for both pve and pvp in every video. Would you ever be interested in doing a showcase of what you have in your vault and what you use regularly? I'm curious on what sleeper picks or just favorites you have after all these reviews

I wasn't really crazy about this at first and didn't even bother grinding for it, but yesterday I got one with full bore, ricochet rounds, to the pain, kill clip, fitted stalk, and stability masterwork, and it feels great. I got a we ran with it after maybe 3 games and it just feels fun to play with. Definitely going to try to get more. Also, hope everything is well with you coolguy.

I’ve been waiting for this review since I got my first roll!!! Great review, you’ve covered what I could say felt odd about the gun. I have a max range with tap, dynamic sway and it’s as juiced as you hoped. Just wish they’d fix the mussel flash issue

Just finished my placement series and got the curated roll, this thing is kinda nice definitely gonna have to hunt down a zen moment or tap roll but I'm actually kinda liking desperate measures, first time using that perk and I'm suprised how much ease of use it has and how you can get it rolling without even thinking about it.
