![]() ![]() There is then the Breakthrough perk, which causes a portion of this weapon’s damage to bypass elemental shields. This perk causes the exotic fusion rifle to charge and fire three spreads of kinetic slugs. The unique aspect of the Bastion that makes it an extremely formidable weapon, especially in the Crucible, is its Saint’s Fist perk. Fortunately for you curious folks, we have everything you need to know about this particular weapon covered for you. This Corridors of Time solution led to the ability for players to complete the quest for the Bastion Exotic Rifle. Players have begun acquiring this powerful weapon following the solution of the infamous Corridors of Time puzzle being discovered. The latest exotic weapon to make its debut in the popular game is the Bastion Exotic Fusion Rifle. This would retain the value and intent of Breakthrough, without pushing it into overpowered or “must have” territory.Īll in all, Bastion is a fun weapon for the Crucible that would need some tweaks to be made viable in endgame PVE.It is an always-exciting time in the Destiny 2 community when players discover a quest for a new exotic weapon that they can add to their collections and use in future battles. I would have it deal just enough damage to keep the champion from fully regenerating their health, but not so much as to make Anti-Barrier weapons pointless. If I could change one thing about Breakthrough, it would be to allow the slugs from this weapon to partially penetrate through Barrier Champion’s barrier. ![]() The one PVE activity I can see this being helpful in would be high level Nightmare Hunts when you’ll need to get rid of the Solar Shielded adds that spawn between damage phases on bosses. Shielded elites in Ordeal Nightfalls will shrug off the damage to their health bars as they blast you with Boom Cannons or Wizard Bolts. Unfortunately, Breakthrough also falls short in PVE playlists where damaging enemies through their elemental shields matters most. I wish Breakthrough interacted with enemies in PVP, but that might push Bastion into overpowered territory. Taking Bastion into PVP requires accepting you’re using an exotic with, effectively, one less perk on it. ![]() It’s unfortunate Breakthrough’s benefits don’t work in the Crucible. But, you’ll have a very hard time taking advantage of this against higher skilled players as they’ll use their Super’s mobility to ensure they don’t take all three spreads from your shots. A benefit to using Bastion in PVP is its ability to destroy Supers with just one shot if they’re within your effective range. Treat its range like that of any non High Impact Frame fusion rifle and you’ll be rewarded with kills. Gameplayīastion is a perfectly serviceable hybrid of a Fusion Rifle and Shotgun in PVP. This means that in a playlist where modifiers like Match Game are active, you can still deal damage directly to shielded enemies’ health bars. Bastion occupies the same slot as Izanagi’s Burden, and has no real chance of dethroning the current king of exotic kinetic weapons.īastion’s unique Legendary trait is Breakthrough A portion of this weapon’s damage bypasses elemental shields. The lack of critical damage on this weapon means it will probably never be a must have for end game PVE playlists. Bastion’s fire pattern is very reliable and manageable, regardless of your preferred input and platform. Interestingly, this is one weapon with recoil equally controllable on console as it is on PC. It’s important to note that Bastion, like Xenophage, cannot deal critical damage in either PVP or PVE. So, theoretically, you can kill three Guardians with just one charge of this weapon. This is enough damage to kill max Resilience Guardians in PVP with just one of the three spreads. Destiny’s engine rounds off damage values, so it’s possible the pellets are doing at least 29 damage. There are seven pellets in each round of slugs fired, with each pellet hitting for nearly 30 damage in PVP. Its intrinsic Exotic trait is Saint’s Fists Charge to fire 3 spreads of Kinetic slugs. In the future, its Catalyst might change that capacity, but the Catalyst’s benefits are currently unknown. It has a Range value of 33, a Stability of 52, Handling of 34, Reload Speed of 32, Aim Assist of 65, and a Recoil direction of 75.īastion currently carries a 4-round magazine. Statsīastion comes with a Charge Time of 740, meaning Bastion takes 740 milliseconds to fully charge before firing.

Bastion is the first, and so far only, Exotic Kinetic Fusion Rifle in Destiny 2. ![]()
