    **Attention** Unlike the Gjallarhorn, The Forerunner weapon can be acquired WITHOUT purchasing the 30th Anniversary expansion.
  • @Forcer69
    Even when his wife is having his daughter Cross is still pumping out content.
  • @Raynergy
    4:10 Cross thank you so much for making me part of your GM run, honestly it means a lot to me since you’re literally all I watch. Go Dads, am I right ? Congrats on the baby girl, 🎉 YOU MAKE ME PROUD
  • @BigKillaJoke
    I enjoy it alongside the aeon safes. The mod that most people use where finishers create ammo for allies, also has another perk where you make orbs for rapid precision kills. So you're making orbs and ammo! I don't think you make ammo for yourself sadly so you still need ammo finders for yourself.
  • You keep the grenade when you swap weapons so verity's is pretty easy to use. Very fun!
  • Forerunner and the Dares loot are free. You only need the pack for the cosmetics, GoA, and Gjallarhorn.
  • Personally I'd change tricksleeves in a different way. Lean into the risk reward even harder by restoring health (not shields) on each kill with a sidearm, prolonging the duration of the damage buff and delaying health regeneration for a few seconds. This way you can slay out with a beefed up sidearm, but you're going to be vulnerable as all hell while you do it.
  • 2 things for you: 1 the rock needs a buff that gives it 3.0 synergy. My idea give it basically Bombardier's exotic perk but on the rock. So it will change according to your subclass. Arc will blind, solar will scorch, void will suppress, stasis will slow and strand will sever. This will give the rock some utility and make it more worth using 2. Want to make shaxx proud? Of course you do. Here is a fun build for you: Hunter on solar. Run gunpowder gambit and firebolts Then run forerunner and Bombardier. Also run rain of firebolts on the artifact You have the rock, Bombardier's explosive, gunpowder gamble, and 2 firebolts. 5 grenades in one build. Have fun!
  • Ive been liking this on grapple because it allows me to use a grenade on top of having a grapple plus it procs all grenade perks too. This with a demolitionist and adrenaline junkie BxR has been a lot of fun giving a free reload and increased damage without needing to use my grapple.

    Congrats on the baby cross!! thanks for being the best D2 content creator
  • I'm on board with mechaneer's getting a rework. It being only usable while you're primed to be killed by even a blaster minion is lame. I'd like it to read: "Swapping to a sidearm while you are either full health or at critical health gives you increased damage for 5 seconds. Full health increases damage by 30%. Critical health increases damage by 150%. Mechaneer's Tricksleeves go on cooldown for 10 seconds after activating." This way it works for the cock sure Cayde-6 in all of us (giving a significant increase in damage that's on par with some gun perks for the start of a fight), but also gives you a panic bonus when you're really suffering in a fight.

    To complete the catalyst it's like 100ish pvp kills instead of those hundreds of pve kills which is what I did. I'd had enough pve just getting the catalyst. I've been loving it as a daily driver and love the new ornament, gotta rep the armory
  • I just want to note how good the name for the forunner catalyst is. Such a great reference
  • Could you in theory: que up The Rock with a Forerunner kill, switch to your element matching weapon, build up 5x Verity Brow, THEN throw The Rock?
  • @Jistafford
    Forerunner is almost perfect for me, just needs 2 minor changes. Needs custom death animations in pvp to match CE and it's viewmodel has to shift over to the center more.
  • Forerunner is actually free to get alongside Dares and the weapons there. But the 30th pack is still worth it
  • @SweetMeef
    Great job on the editing, from the Halo clips to Indiana Jones. Nicely done 👍
  • @malicious8767
    Forerunner feels pretty great right now, though some sort of buff with Mechaneer’s similar to Luckypants duration and ease of use would be great. Personally, Forerunner is a fave in solo and any Vex related content. Free-est Hydra shred period lol
  • @RhynoE28
    All i gotta say is forerunner and my crafted demo/ incandescent BXR helped me through solo legend campaign on my hunter. Switched to witherhoard at certain points.
  • @masy9595
    Another thing with this weapon is it's insane hip fire accuracy. It's like Last Word as a sidearm, it has zero bullet spread when firing from the hip. I imagine they made it that way to truly replicate how it is in the Halo games
