Jun 6, 2026 · 3 hr 2 min · 10 segments
Send us Fan Mail This week is basically a giant Destiny update dump, and it is a lot. We go through the dev insights, TWID, the new sandbox changes…
[fire crackling] There's no need to, like, go into, like, all of the weapon tuning.
It's not really germane.
No, no, no, not at this point.
No.
We're gonna talk about some of the main stuff and what sticks with you guys and folks is, um-
No one cares that adaptive auto rifle base damage increased from 15-
Yeah
... to 15.5.
It matters not.
I care.
No, just kidding.
[laughs]
No you don't.
[laughs]
I don't give a fuck about-
If I asked you-
Much, I, to be honest
...
if I asked you what's your favorite primary ammo weapon in Destiny that's not an exotic, can you even answer that?
Primary weapon?
Yeah.
My guess is gonna be a hand cannon for Greener.
Really? Well, wait.
Hand cannon.
It's, primary's just in the top slot, right? Is that the terminology?
Oh, primary, as in primary ammo.
So-
[laughs]
[laughs]
Okay, so, so primary ammo.
Okay.
Um, I play it, I just forget what you call shit.
Leave me alone.
Listen, all I'm asking for-
That's what we're here for.
We're not gonna leave you alone
... all I'm asking for is a name, the name of your favorite primary ammo weapon-
[laughs]
... that is not an exotic.
Well, I'm trying to think of anything that I used.
Wait, Gnawing Hunger? Wait, see, I'm confused, because that's a void auto rifle that-
But it's primary ammo.
But it's primary a- okay.
Oh, so not the green stuff.
It works.
It works.
All right, I see what you're trying to say.
Not green or purple ammo.
Okay.
Yeah, I know the purple ammo.
Okay, so basically, oh, fuck, I'd ha- still have to look at the list to tell you what my favorite is.
Um-
So he can't answer what it is.
There, it's easy-
Right off the top of my head, no
...
if I also asked him what the frame of that weapon is, he'd have no fucking idea.
The frame? [laughs] No.
No, I don't know the frame of any weapon.
Yeah.
That's why you're here.
That's literally why you're here.
I'm just the pretty face.
You're the one with all the knowledge.
[laughs] He's so... [laughs]
That's so funny.
Wait, so it can't be an exotic, either? Oh, okay.
Listen, I'm just trying to prove a point.
I'm just trying to think.
Yeah, I know, that I don't play the game, I don't know anything about anything.
Is that what you're trying to tell me? Bro, I used to love Bygones back in the day.
What-
That was one of my, definitely one of my top tiers
... what frame is Bygones?
Uh, [laughs] it's a pulse rifle.
I know that's not the frame.
Yeah.
What kind?
What kind? Aggressive.
I mean, I can tell you what your top-
No
... actual legendary-
No
... uh, yeah, your top legendary-
Bygones
... primary weapon is on your account right now
... is not a legendary.
Hold on.
Hold on.
However-
The top primary
... you at least got the letter of the frame correct.
Oh, did I? Okay.
What-
Adaptive?
That's another one.
There you go.
You got it, buddy.
[clapping]
You know what? There's some people that would have never, ever even got anywhere near that, so I mean, that's b- that's not bad.
Yeah, your top legendary in PVE-
I don't even wanna hear it.
In PVE.
[laughs] PVE is Calus.
Oh, okay.
Really?
Calus Mini Tool is your number two.
Legendary.
Your number one's Trinity Ghoul.
Your number three's Sunshot.
Trinity Ghoul doesn't count because that was just AFK farming back to Shadow of the Throne-
I get it
... back in the day.
But Sunshot's your number three.
Sunshot is probably legit.
Uh-
And then your top three in-
But that's an exotic, so that doesn't count
...
I'm actually surprised, your top three in Crucible are all legendaries.
Hey, Greener.
What, uh-
They're probably f-
What is the archetype of the frame for your Calus Mini Tool?
[laughs]
I, I-
This is, this is almost a trick question, seeing as its frame changed not too long ago.
It, it does.
I don't know.
I don't, I don't know.
It does seem.
All I know is I shoot shit and it ex- and when it dies, it blows up and kills everything around it.
It's fair.
Do I need to know what kind of frame it is?
The correct answer is, it's a Midath Synergy frame.
It's a tough question.
Bygones, Steady Hand, and Gnawing Hunger
...
Gnawing Hunger, wow, I was a bitch.
[laughs]
Remember, he wasn't blowing things up with Firefly and Calus Mini Tool.
That would be impossible.
Listen, s-
On account of it doesn't have Firefly.
At least...
Yeah, no, it's got the other one, the new, the newer one.
The what other one?
The, the new-
Yeah
...
the newer exploding one that's only a couple years old.
[laughs]
So there's three different, there's three different fly explodey perks-
Why?
... and then another explodey perk for solar.
Well, there's Firefly, and then there's Dragonfly, and then there's Incandescent, right?
Oh, there's another one.
There's another one that-
Okay
...
they released-
Oh
...
in the last season.
There's a new one.
[laughs]
Yeah.
Well, I'm talking about the-
Actually, you're also, you're also missing one other
...
Fair.
So fuck off.
'Cause then at least in terms of solar explosions, there's also Chain Reaction, and then there's also Meganura.
Correct.
There's what?
Yeah.
Do you even play? [laughs]
It blows things up.
[laughs]
What is wrong with you people?
[laughs] Podcast today is brought to you by roasting Greener.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Out, out, out, out, out.
Good Lord.
You invited us.
It's your fault.
I didn't invite anybody.
Let me ask you, let me ask you, Greener, see what Reaper of Souls just said? "Butterfly's great on crossbows." You think Butterfly's actually a perk?
[laughs]
[laughs]
You know what? I don't think it is, but you're probably gonna tell me it is.So who the fuck knows, man? Who the fuck knows? [sighs] I sure as hell don't, not anymore.
And I do know that exists, and I even know that you have to precision sh- kill them for that to proc.
Well, butterfly is indeed a weapon perk.
Yep.
What?
It does cause things to explode.
Yeah, it's, it's the newest one of the insect fly perks.
Yeah.
I don't believe that.
You're lying to me.
Yeah.
Aiming, aiming for a short time, [keyboard clicking] uh, without firing makes your target explode when you do a final blow, your next final blow.
[sighs] [keyboard clicking] Now we've gotta-
... look it up.
There is.
Yep.
There's a butterfly perk one.
I even have guns with butterfly on it.
Of cou- of course you do.
Yeah.
I...
What? Oh, there it is.
Yeah, a little skull.
How the fuck would anyone know that's butterfly? What a terrible design for butterfly.
It's like a fucking skull.
Luckily, when you look at the perk, there's text that tells you what it does.
Yeah, but-
It gives you a name
...
I...
See, I just assume whatever the perk looks like is what it does.
[laughs] That's how I know train wreck-
Make it Nura, has a bug on it.
[laughs] What?
Make it Nura has a bug as the...
Has a, literally has a bug as the symbol.
Okay, but what does it do? [laughs]
It blows things up.
Makes things blow up.
Okay.
I've got four guns with that on it.
Um-
[laughs]
Oh, it's a-
I mean, the only-
What the shit?
Yeah.
It's the only thing it has going for it-
See
But [laughs] their icon design is terrible.
Jesus fucking Christ.
You know what I know for a fact?
What?
Greener's going to earn zero points on the event unless somebody feeds him answers.
That's offensive.
[laughs]
He's got the answer key.
That's the only way he earns any points.
I'm gonna get the most points.
I'm just gonna submit every...
I'm gonna submit all wrong answers, and, uh, I'm going to approve them.
[laughs] How's that feel?
That's how you win.
That's how you win.
Yep, that's how you win.
I've played the long game for this event.
Right now is the reason I started Trouted, is to win our prophecy thing.
[laughs]
Scavenger hunt.
Prophecy scavenger hunt, that's what I'm referring to.
Okay, so I've done the draws.
[laughs] Are you done making fun of me?
I mean-
No.
[laughs]
This is pretty good content.
You're recording, right?
It is pretty good content.
[laughs]
I'm legit considering, like, having the beginning of the podcast start earlier than the intro-
[laughs]
... 'cause, uh, because it was pretty funny.
It was pretty funny.
[sighs] And I'm sure I could do it, or maybe we just play it at the end.
I actually edit my-
Just do an outtake at the end
... uh, I don't know about that.
That requires editing.
Oh, you lazy... [laughs]
Lazy, he says.
Yeah.
It's not about being lazy.
It's about physically not having enough extra time to do that.
[sighs] That's another 10 minutes, which means something else doesn't get done.
[sighs]
