User blog:Derp2000/Exotic Review: Telesto

DISCLAIMER:

THESE ARE MY OPINIONS, IF YOU GUARDIANS HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS WEAPON OR WHATNOT, FEEL FREE TO PUT YOUR COMMENTS DOWN BELOW OR AT MY MESSAGE WALL:

Telesto is a TTK exotic Fusion Rifle that can be obtained by opening Legendary engrams, RnG (Nightfalls, etc.), or when Xur sometimes sells the weapon. It's a long charge time with high damage. Its perk, Unplanned Reprieve, makes the bullets stick to the player with a delayed void explosion. The weapon doesn't have the best range, but has great stability and quick reload speed. The weapon is really for PvE, as the last perk to be unlocked, Harbnger's Spark, grants orbs when you get a multikill (well to do that in PvP is almost as hard as getting Unbroken). The weapon is meant for short range, with just enough range to hit someone from 10-15 meters. Here are my PvP thoughts for this weapon:

PvP POV:

Well, this is definetly a PvE weapon. 1st off, it's really hard to use a Fusion Rifle in the Crucible. Trying to kill Guardians at short range, well you're gonna go up against shotguns and TLW. Trying to kill Guardians at Medium or Long range, welcome to Snipers and a bunch more weapon types (sorry for being salty, though this weapon is very sleek, nice for vault space). Although, this weapon can still work in Crucible. When shoguns are hiding around the corner, you could fire off the Telesto near it, and it will take damage, just enough for the 2nd round of charged bullets to stick near the opponent and kill it. The stability and reload speed are very nice, but the weapon is a slow charge rate, which means the stability doesn't really play a role to it (but it does play a role when trying to shoot the weapon). Overall, the weapon looks nice, but it doesn't even compete against the exotic Special Weapons.
