Me and Zero were Skirmishing on Burning Shrine and he pinned a guy in an corner of one of the middle tunnels. Just started firing and said, "Go ahead and get him." It was awesome fun, and I had never seen suppresive fire used in Destiny like that.

Yeah, all along that's been the use for that gun. I would occasionally use it in Salvage to just keep enemies from taking easy paths to our probe while it was out.

Under what context do you like to use it?

I use mine mostly in Crucible. Smart Drift Control plus Counterbalance makes for great stability. Hammer forged for crazy good range. Feeding frenzy for fast reloads. Its about the best roll I would have wanted on my Jolder's Hammers that I never did get.

Its funny how we all like different things. As much as I've tried, I cannot make the high ROF rifles work at all. And Red Death is an excellent weapon, but I really prefer my Time on Target or Three Little Words. Same with The Last Word, just can't make it work for me.

No doubt. I've had The Swarm forever, and nothing can knock it off it's perch - I'll give Thunderlord a shot here, but am not expecting too much. And I was so excited to get The Last Word from Xur a couple of weeks ago...but Three Little Words is so damn effective.

For all it's warts, Destiny's Crucible does support a lot of different viable play styles. There's a lot of nuance, and time/place really matters.

A lot of people will be stoked to see Xur this week!

What's so great about Thunderlord? I got one as a drop a long time ago (one of two total Exotic drops) and I haven't really seen the appeal (besides its look, of course). Nothing really tempts me to choose it over Icebreaker, but that might be because of the ability rolls?

Should I buy thunderlord? I guess I'd use is the crux as I can run other primaries like strangers or TLW

Fully upgraded, but not used during Arc Burn. I suppose I should try it on my Titan when I nightfall before reset. I've been using Mythoclast and Gallahoorn as my exotics this week.

It's not going to out-do your Gjallarhorn, but I do think the Thunderlord is the one gun in the game that can hold a candle to Gjallarhorn in terms of massive damage on a major target.

Agreed it can never beat Gjallarhorn in DPS, but it has one of the highest (if not the highest) DPMs in the game. Full ammo on Thunderlord outstrips even full ammo on Gjallahorn with non-type based total damage, you just can't do that damage as fast.

I run mine with ruin wings and it's pretty much a primary weapon.
