Such a great weapon for pve! Explosive rounds help out a lot!
I did some testing though and explosive rounds arent THAT great if you are good at precision shots.
For instance against the same type of enemy, a precision hit with my Mida would do 300 damage. A precision hit with my nameless midnight knly did 200, and the explosion did 80. So that is less damage. The explosion hits nearby enemies too, but they have to be EXTREMELY close. You would be lucky to have it damage 2 or 3 enemies tops if they are tightly packed. So Mida > Nameless Midnight IMO in almost every conceivable situation, unless you are really bad at scoring crits. Even the I think Mida does more dmg with body shots too.
Handcannons on the other hand, probably wont precision hit quite as much, so tbe explosive effect helps out more than with scout rifles.
Also even with lower impact, exotics seem to hit harder than a same class weapon wirh higher impact that is only lgendary, if the impact isn't too mich higher.
I've been sitting on the exotic engram decrypting part of the exotic quest for nearly nine hours now. They needed should've removed the three of coins.
Break down the trans warp effect mods and other cosmetic mods from bright engrams.
Use the bright dust to buy Fireteam Medallions from Tess.
Get two friends and all 3 of you use a fireteam medallion.
Run public events.
You WILL get exotic engrams every 10-15 events give or take. I have gotten the exotic engrams VERY consistently.
