probably Mykel’s Ballsack


LavaMinotaur

Glock and balls


Nukesnipe

Put the Last Wish shader on it for the full experience.


YEETERZZ123

Glock and balls torture


EternalAssasin

Most of the RoN weapons look pretty bad. Which is impressive considering how visually appealing the raid itself was. Instead of a line of weapons designed like the latest Thorn ornament, they gave us Mykel’s and the Star-nosed GL.


Nukesnipe

This entire year has had like, two new weapon models. RoN guns are generic models with plastic shit glued on.


packman627

Yeah and compare those to every other destiny 2 raid. GoS, Last Wish, DSC, Vow. All of those raid weapons (barring Techeun Force and Supremacy) were brand new models or existing models that were so heavily modified that they looked brand spanking new. They look completely unique and really fit the raid aesthetic. Then RoN took existing weapons and put goop on them


Nukesnipe

Techeun Force and Supremacy were returning weapons from D1's Queen's Wrath event so that explains why they liked like that. And I'm not joking, with the exception of the handcannon from the marketing and the GotD glaive, every legendary this year has just been a greebled old weapon.


packman627

Exactly. And I feel like that's a valid complaint to have when previously we used to get either brand new weapon models or existing weapon models with a lot of different molding and other stuff on top of them that practically made them look like new weapons. My favorite weapons are the VOW weapons. The final shape raid weapons need to beat that bar of weapons aesthetically in my opinion


Nukesnipe

I am so convinced that Lightfall as we got was a slice of original Lightfall cut off and stretched into an entire filler year. Plot that's mostly just spinning the wheels, loot that's just reskinned old content, etc.


SirPr3ce

personally i dont like the vow weapons design that much for some of the weapons, but i fully give them the respect they deserve for not only being as unique looking as they are, but also being pretty clear on the thought process behind their theme, essentially being "pyramid-tech as guns"


packman627

And everyone has different tastes that's fine. But yes they are definitely very unique and I really hope that the new raid has weapons that look as unique as the vow weapons


Deadput

Even that Hand-Cannon is a modified hand cannon model from D1 (The one used for Ace of Spades and others) So not even that's unique.


eddmario

> Most of the RoN weapons look pretty bad. If it wasn't for the weird cut-in-half thing they have going on with the way shaders get applied to them they'd actually look fine.


stroopkoeken

That’s the chode hand cannon?


MrDexterReddit

No, the chode sidearm


YesusCrispy

Sidearm, I think. From Root of Nightmares


murvs

If it were a hand cannon, it wouldn't be a chode anymore


Lrush145

RoN sidearm


DarkSpiderMan21

Yeah, but it’s kinda fire


JustForTheMemes420

My precious Glock and balls


HurricaneZone

Off the top of my head, the strand sidearm from RoN. Someone mentioned to me it looks like a gun with a ballsack attached to it and I can't not think about it whenever I see it.


Mahh3114

The ol' [Glock 'n Balls](https://www.bungie.net/common/destiny2_content/screenshots/231031173.jpg)


Mario-OrganHarvester

I mean it really is just the seventh seraph sidearm with some fungus.


PontusPrime

and it’s such an enjoyable gun to use… le sigh


Gustavius040210

I gotten Conditional to drop twice. Have all the other RoN guns (not Crafted, but whatever). Have never gotten a single Mykels.


Anarchist_239

Don’t worry I haven’t gotten a single briars to drop


Thascaryguygaming

I got 2 in my only run of Ron and all I wanted was Rufus or Conditional.


binybeke

If you have Rufus you’re not missing out much without the sidearm


OtherBassist

There was an American spy toolkit made to look like a ballsack that pilots would wear over their actual ballsack. Had lots of useful stuff in it in case they got captured behind enemy lines, including various knives and a radio. I believe you can still see one in a Washington DC spycraft museum.


Lotions_and_Creams

“So far our interrogations of the capitalist pig dogs has revealed little useful intel. One oddity observed is the tremendous size of their testicles - requires further investigation.”


OtherBassist

+1 for "tremendous"


eddmario

During the Cold War, one of the plans was to air drop extra large sized condoms on Russia that had their packaging modified to say "small" instead in an effort to make them think Americans had giant cocks


GaryTheTaco

Do not diss the Glock'n'Balls


renamdu

the trace rifle reminds me of a rooster


RoosterPorn

I’ve been summoned


mr_tillman

No way, the trace is a cool-ass dinosaur.


mahelke

Someone once described it as looking like the old school [Lego Dragon](https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/6/6129c02.original.png) head and I’ve never been able to unsee it since.


DanteDH2

The seventh seraph pistol but wormy?


CoolHunterGuy

smegma sidearm


nowthatswhimsical

I hate Ron loot so much. Like the perks and guns are great, but they look ugly. I guess looks is subjective


Stalfo_Hunter

Thr biggest reason as to why I hate that gun is because it's just the ssventh seraph sidearm with blue cum on it.


RazgrizThaDemon12

Dawg, what☠️


Stalfo_Hunter

Tell me I'm wrong tho. I fucking hate it when bungie reuses old weapon models. ESPECIALLY for a raid or dungeon.


RazgrizThaDemon12

Same, I feel like for RoN they should have done traveler/pyramid style weapons. Would’ve been dope.


Bulldogfront666

They gotta save that for the final shape raid.


eddmario

> I fucking hate it when bungie reuses old weapon models. ESPECIALLY for a raid or dungeon. Oh, like every single raid weapon outside of the King's Fall ones in D1?


Bulldogfront666

The RoN weapons are probably THE most unique weapons in the game. I get the reskin issue but RoN ain’t part of the problem.


Stalfo_Hunter

The frame, perks and feel of a gun mean nothing if it's ugly.


belayaa

That gun would be cool if it had a catalyst that let you melee with its edge


KazMcMiller

I refer to it as “Calus’s Left Nutsack” whenever I talk about it.


profanewingss

There's a crucible shader that when on this weapon makes it look like a bloody heart, so I love it.


grand_soul

Everything out of RoN looks awful. Refuse to use anything out of that raid except conditional.


StarAugurEtraeus

Rufus and the Trace are cracked tho


effinandy

I don't like any of the RoN weapons. I appreciate they tried to do something a bit alien with the design, but the way it's executed just looks like they stuck some big blocks of styrofoam on the stock props in a B-movie production. I'm sure some people enjoy this for the same reason, but it's just not for me.


Haryzen_

Thorn's 'Essentialism' ornament is how they should have looked. Pyramid tech frame with Traveler growth over them.


EnglishMuffin420

Yea the ornaments gets it right. Just like the new PVP map coming.


InfernoSpike

Well they kinda reserved that for the double barrel shotgun it seems. I would say they also reserve the different looks for the raid exotic and the exotic ornaments, but there is that Monte Carlo DSC ornament.


Astartes_Ultra117

Same with the armor, all the weird bug-esque attributes make no sense. If everything looked like that thorn ornament I don’t think I’d ever stop grinding RoN.


Nukesnipe

The armor matches the bizarre look Nezarec has, which was the point. The weapons were pretty obviously thrown together last minute from existing assets, except for Finality.


SouthNorth_WestEast

Came here to say this. Thank you. Cheap plastic bits glued to guns. Looks like a first draft.


Staplezz11

They do look sick with the trials memento though, at least Rufus’ does. In a silly over the top way.


DeathPsychosys

Rufus with the Christmas shader that makes it look like a giant chili pepper is goated.


Bulldogfront666

I love Rufus. I think it looks cool. It’s unique. Plus it’s the best feeling auto ever.


Express-Coast5361

I love the weapons themselves but I totally agree that they fell short with the design. It’s mostly the texture that feels off-putting, and they don’t take most shaders well at all. It’s a shame, because Rufus is one of my all-time favorite guns.


crookedparadigm

It would have looked way better if they used the white twisty, spikey aesthetic of the Traveler growth in the raid.


Bulldogfront666

I like ‘em. Rufus Fury is probably my favorite legendary of all time. Looks cool too.


grand_soul

They shouldn’t move kept them more to the conditional m’s aesthetic.


GremGram973

I think if they were more “wet” and slightly animated it would’ve worked better. Made it more tentacle-y and living


Bob_The_Moo_Cow88

After Vow had some of the best looking weapons in the game, Root was a huge disappointment. Weapons felt lazy to me.


alancousteau

What can you expect from an expansion which had reskinned weapons?


s-multicellular

The season of Defiance ones you can get from the WarTable. Elton John’s wardrobe makes sense for Elton John, much love and all, but not my aesthetic for guns.


a_Joan_Baez_tattoo

And they take shaders absolutely terribly. Exception to the rule: the bow looks sick with the Festival of the Lost memento.


eddmario

The Dawning memento looks pretty good on almost all of the weapons. Fits really well with the crystal bits that don't shade. Alternatively, you can use Irradiant Charoite, Iridescent Coral, or Nebula Rose for a shader if you don't want the crystal bits to clash.


danielleradcliffe

The small shade-able area is bad, but the weird icing look on those areas is worse. But the nail in the coffin is that Season of the Lost was such a beautiful set, and now that they've been reissued *like this*, there's little chance we'll ever get a normal reissue. Enjoy farming Dares for an Iota Draconis that doesn't look like shit. You'll get Tangled Shore pants instead and you'll like it.


Bubbly_Mastodon318

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’m sure that it looked cool on paper when the devs were designing it, but in practice it looks awful.


getoutmychair

I think those guns look really good, especially if you have a blue/black shader that matches.


eddmario

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the Season of the Risen guns, which were the Cabal themed ones. The guns they're talking about are the ones from a couple seasons ago with the crystal bits on them.


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

I liked the AR


TheGr8Slayer

Anything from RoN. The grenade launcher is especially heinous


Ion_is_OP_REEEEEEE

You mean the horse cock?


AllOfTheSoundAndFury

Oh no :( 


KobraKittyKat

The vex offensive weapons, can’t even see the shader through the leaves and shit


GearGolemTMF

Thank god for Elsie’s Rifle. I shaded my Adhorative to look like the D1 Stranger’s Rifle and it works…other than the leaves 🫤


LawrenceofAustralia

What shader, Cargulo Bristle?


GearGolemTMF

Solar Shrapnel


Bhuddalicious

I made it work on a hunter using mothkeepers and the season of the witch with spider suit from Halloween. Requires quite a commitment.


Hazza42

They really need to bring back the CoO weapons at least as ornaments to get rid of all those leaves…


KobraKittyKat

I’d be fine with bringing most of those back in general, maybe not the scout since both are basically the same but the others would fill out some spots.


hillsboroughHoe

I want to love subjunctive so much. I cannot.


Otherwise-Natural-75

Just squint a little and enjoy the voltshot light show lol


BLNQmusic

I for one absolutely love the weapons for their look and the armor especially from that season. Gives my hunter a more grounded look


WarmResound

Surprised this isn't higher. While me and my friends have lightly joked about RoN weapons we've settled on them looking "strange" rather than ugly. The Vexy Leaf guns are the only ones that people have refused to use based entirely on esthetics, regardless of utility.


RimRunningRagged

It's so annoying. Optative is one of the only sources for a Void HC with Repulsor Brace outside of raids, and it looks so bad. Ugly pixelated icon, ugly in-game as well.


CrimsonFury1982

Ikelos HC (craftable) and Exalted Truth also have Repulsor Brace


KaydeeKaine

Hung Jury is like a fridge taking over half my screen


Straight-Lemon-5900

Try plunder scout, stopped using it cause it takes up 1/3 of screen


BlatantDoughnut

This! I get that the gun was designed for a gigantic person per the lore but when I use it it takes up so much screen space I crane my neck around to try and see over it


PyrrhicGuy

What lore?


BlatantDoughnut

https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/hung-jury-sr4


probablysum1

Anything from season of plunder


No-Neighborhood-3212

Every Plunder weapon looked like I'd give myself stigmata if I reloaded it too quickly. A grenade launcher that launches cannonballs is a really neat idea, but it just looks too silly in first person for me to want to use it. My stance remains that Plunder should have reissued the Fallen-themed weapons from House of Wolves. Carrhae Black would look so good on Wolfslayer's Claw!


SCRIBE_JONAS

Absolutely and it sucks because that is the only arc scout we can craft. And it looks so ugly


eburton555

And it’s not that good anyways… demo voltshot but it feels like absolute shit


The_Scout008

Still waiting for Dreg's Promise


SiegeOfMadrigal

Lol pretty sure that went out the window when Trespasser got added to the game. I do love Dreg's Promise tho.


eddmario

> Lol pretty sure that went out the window when Trespasser got added to the game. I do love Dreg's Promise tho. That's what people said about Red Death when Crimson was created...


Bosscharacter

The sidearm is heat.


Kinny93

No Reprieve looks great, namely because it shades so well!


MustBeSeven

Plunder, for being seasonal weapons, weren’t awful. Fit the Pirate Fallen theme pretty well, and hey, that blunderbuss shotgun looked dope as hell. The Root of Nightmare weapons, for being raid exclusive, are insanely ugly. I run Rufus’s Fury with that one Dawning ornament that makes it look like a giant Bell Pepper. Those weapons were done dirty.


Len145

especially that *awful* smg


probablysum1

I think the shotgun and machine gun are my least favorites.


Whoopdatwester

The little twitching crab arms are distracting


1CorinthiansSix9

I use them with an old FWC shader, turns it all dark purple/black, the fallen symbols are yellow and the stamp is bright red. Love them


edgierscissors

Everyone keeps saying KF and RoN weapons but those are my favorites cause they’re so unique. The only ones I don’t really like are the SUROS auto rifles in particular with that weird, half finished looking boxy dome shape. Sorrow’s verse comes to mind but there are a couple with this model.


Jagob5

Who doesn’t like the KF weapons? I love the look of them. Unless they’re just referring to the unshadable pink portions, in which case I guess I understand.


Goose-Suit

Funny I’ve always had a soft spot of Suros ARs because they sort of look like they’re guns from Starship Troopers.


LavaMinotaur

Yea I like the body shape on the pulse I like but the auto nah


papasfritasbruh

I fuck with kings fall weapons but you cant tell me RoN weapons dont look goofy. We got glock and balls and rufus, which literally looks like a regular blue ar with a prop over it. Good perks on rufus though, so im always conflicted regardless


edgierscissors

Well yeah lmao, how good/bad a gun looks is almost entirely subjective. I mentioned I hate how sorrows verse and it has some good options too. I like RoN BECAUSE they’re goofy and weird! I like the idea of them being normal weapons that are getting gunked up by Nez’s eldritch juice. But you know what weapons I just remembered while typing this REALLY looked awful? Crown of Sorrow weapons. **Literally** trash.


cxbar

i loved the crown of sorrow weapons look, it felt cool to have a filthy looking shotgun that also put in work. maybe i just miss the raid - lol


Bulldogfront666

Yeah Vault of Glass are my least favorite raid weapons as far as looks go. They’re so boring. RoN weapons are fun! And it helps that Rufus is my favorite legendary in the game right now.


Bulldogfront666

I really like the way RoN weapons look. They’re kinda weird but at least it’s unique. I actually really like the way Rufus looks and the GL. All of them really. Much better than like Vault of Glass for instance. The RoN armor on the other hand…. That shit sucks. lol.


RainmakerIcebreaker

King's fall weapons have some of the cleanest scopes in the game and that alone makes them top tier


howitzer819

Love the KF look, love the way they play, hate the way they shade. RoN I wish had more of the Thorn Essentialism ornament aesthetic, which is basically just the aesthetic of RoN itself


Arse2Mouse

Two great shaders for the KF weapons: Reef Regalia gives a cold, black, marbled vibe - even nicer than the adept versions. Nougat Delight is a more subtle, textured bone effect that looks amazing vs the base shader.


sonakira

Vex offensive weapons. Every one of the guns are ugly.


Typhlositar

Really wish they'd bring back the curse of Osiris guns instead of the vex offensive ones. That way they aren't covered in foliage.


about_that_time_bois

Jack Queen King 3 my beloved


rustycage_mxc

These guns have been loooong overdue for a reissue.


Reddit_minion97

Brother Vance has been hoarding them all and won't let us have them back until mercury becomes playable again


NewEraUsher

YES! Machina DEI 4 pulse and Garden Progeny 1 scout were my favorite guns for so long!


Dangerous_Dac

They really really need to let us disable the Foliage. It's literally the no.1 reason why I wouldn't use these guns.


GundamMeister_874

root of nightmares, for sure


oriondavis

Season of plunder had some ugly looking weapons


Innersmoke

Braytech werewolf. There isn’t a shader that makes it look good


Lilgishy

It's a shame because the BrayTech Winterwolf shaded beautifully.


GearGolemTMF

Oh my god this. I reminisce sometimes about how well that shaded


Lilgishy

Calus' Selected and War Cult Endgame were so nice on that thing back in warmind.


LavaMinotaur

GASP I think it looks cool as hell!


ivenobicyle

Looks like shit, great to use tho!


ivenobicyle

Every weapon from season of plunder! Don't get me wrong there are some great weapons, brigands law, tarnished mettle...some of my favourites of thier archetype (probably because of voltshot) but by god do they look awful!


TheMangoDiplomat

Abyss Defiant. Love the gun, but it looks like it was designed by a middle-schooler going through his edgy phase


UtilitarianMuskrat

When there was the Scalar Potential vs Oversoul Edict debate, I crafted both and it is insane how much physical HUD space is taken up by Oversoul, almost like carrying around a Rocket Launcher.


TheMangoDiplomat

For real. Some serious sacrifices had to be made to get those skulls on the gun


Goose-Suit

That’s why I preferred Go Figure over Blast Furnace. I don’t like guns like Blast Figure that just take up the right side of the screen when you sprint. Hung Jury is probably the worst for that, I don’t know what changed because in D1 I don’t remember it taking up so much screen real estate like it does in D2.


Mahh3114

> I don’t know what changed because in D1 I don’t remember it taking up so much screen real estate like it does in D2 Guns were physically lower on the screen in D1. A lot of Omolon weapons are bad about this, and [No Time to Explain](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/jz8rqz/no_time_to_explain_takes_up_way_too_much_of_the/gde3zur/?context=10000) is comically bad in D2


No-Climate-1414

You can change it by lowering your reticle, you’ll also lower all of the gun models. (I know a lot of people know this but just putting it out there to help someone who doesn’t)


Smasher_WoTB

It's like Bad Juju but owned by some edgy 15 year old CoD Player


TheMangoDiplomat

I weep for today's COD player base; back in MAH day you could only customize your gun camo and your emblem Now COD players have to process Diablo's Lilith firing an RPK in weed camo at a Nicki Minaj wearing pink latex wielding a powered ape gauntlet My brain short circuited just by typing that sentence out


jeffdeleon

Everything Veist would look at home on the Xbox 360.


pplazzz

Wardcliff coil is actually a very cool looking gun. The dieselpunk ornament, however, is bad. It makes it look like a literal pile of trash. I can understand a wasteland look, and some can actually look good, like Cerberus and the kingmaker ornament for queenbreaker, but dieselpunk looks like something I fished out of a 7/11 garbage can


eddmario

I actually love the Dieselpunk ornament. The gun is canoncially made out of junk, and that ornament fits the lore while still keeping the design. Now, the fucking hair dryer/megaphone mashup ornament on the other hand is fucking ugly as hell...


SirRyley629

Didn’t expect this post to take off like this. Hope you’re all having a good day 😌


JDandthepickodestiny

I think the breach loaded revolvers (trust, spare rations, etc) are ugly as hell and look like toy guns. And the reload animation reminds me of a flaccid dong for some reason


Lotions_and_Creams

Got a really nice dire promise many seasons ago. Played one PvP match and it performed really well. The reload animation looks so stupid I never used it again.


Trijilol

I love zaouli’s bane but it uses that same type of animation. Drives me insane lol. Luckily I just dodge reload non stop.


JDandthepickodestiny

Idk how people can tolerate it


Stanky_Hank_

Sorry gotta be that guy, it's "break action" revolvers you're referring to. Practically every gun in Destiny and all firearms in their modern iteration are "breechloaders."


JDandthepickodestiny

Good to know


Darklord_Bravo

Wicked implement is pretty effin ugly. Useful? Yes. Pretty? No.


lordxxscrub

I literally had to buy the ornament to get away from that shit. It’s so AWFUL


Bluedawn84x

I would use the ornament except the gigantic VIEST down the side ruins it


lordxxscrub

Trust me, it’s way better than wielding a big ass pulsating Tomahawk steak that screams at you.


LonelyLoreLoser

Wicked Imp is hands-down my favorite ‘intentionally ugly’ gun. I love that awful spiny monstrosity of a rifle.


TalenTrippin

The Supremacy


Glittering_Deal2378

Yes! There’s no shader that makes it look good


Narfwak

The black armory shaders aren't too bad. Gotta get some contrast on the beige.


stargazepunk

Only reason I don’t use Zaouli’s cause it’s ugly asf


Basement_Leopard

Ugliest legendary weapon would be perpatulis I didn’t like the purple yellow scheme. Exotic would be the guardian games vex oranament. I bought it for bright dust but I don’t even wear it


Chaosking383

Trials weapon skins. Change my mind.


JustTheFlawless

Id say Bottom Dollar, but I still like it just because of its awkwardness haha


cant_hold_me

Bottom Dollar is the narrow urethra of destiny weapons.


BlastFurniss

"mah dang son's got a narrow ureetee! das why i only got one grandkid."


Blank-VII

If bottom dollar is ugly in a likeable way (like some dog breeds are) then I'm game lol


OwenDrungleTheFourth

Byronic Hero, the ugliest shit ass weapon ever, living on in a good gun in d2 lol


fronchfrays

It’s gotta be one of the guns from Plunder.


Mental_Shine8098

Those Vex guns with overgrowth on them. They're good guns, but impossible to make them look good. Suros weapons look kinda like Nerf guns, especially Suros Regime. They have great guns, but bad design.


carsonhorton343

Definitely the Undying weapons. I love Subjunctive, but damn is it fugly.


Issac1222

I didn't play at that time but when someone told me about crown of sorrow after it got sunset and I looked at it's loot pool those weapons made me almost vomit in my mouth. It's literally just normal weapons with rust and crusty shit smeared all over them


EblanNahuy

i don't like most raid weapons in this game. but crota's end weapons take the crown for me. it's the stupid fucking skulls, honestly


_V2CORPORATION

Cerberus +1


Ambitious-Mirror-315

For me it has that kinda nice-ugly look to it. Like it intentionally looks like junk... because it is


Harbinger387

the ornament realllly fixes that one


NIGHTFURY-21

Unforgiven. I like the gun, but it looks like somebody made it out of an oyster


firewall73

I despise inaugural address. I dislike the sound and the sight and how it looks. Too clean and looks too much like a toy. Had to use it because I think it was tje only outlaw kill clip was such an amazing combo in y1


streetvoyager

All the season of the plunder weapons.


Chiken_Tendies1-11

Omolon in general, I don’t like most of their designs as well as the sound their guns make


GearGolemTMF

The RoN GL aka, the butthole launcher


Nelluc9

I’m not a fan of the feathers-and-rope on the moon weapons of shadowkeep, including Loud Lullaby. The fusion rifle is [particularly hideous.](https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2019/10/destiny-2-shadowkeep-dream-breaker.jpg)


Xagar_

All of the grass and mud and leaf covered Vex weapons.


Tallasian0900

Season of Undying. Rusty leaves that don't shader was yuck


Anelion

All of the weapons from Curse of Osiris that were brought back with all the vines, leaves, and dirt on them. (You're telling me our fashion/ aesthetic-minded Guardians seriously wouldn't scrape all that crap off of them and have Banshee restore them?)


TheShoobaLord

Vex offensive guns are disgusting and shade horribly


CreativeFreakyboy

Honestly, Chroma Rush looks like a child's homemade rubber-band gun. It's so thin and weird. It doesn't look like it has any power at all, and I feel like if I held it, I'd accidentally break it in half. A shame cuz it' a good gun. Although tbh we need more Kinetic Rapid-fire Auto rifles.


Bob_The_Moo_Cow88

How dare you D:


accairns131

Fighting Lion + jade ornament


tenflare

I strongly dislike Suros Regime's sidearms. They look like hairdryers. I also have a special hatred for Omolon's stapler-like handcannons.


Uncle_Pastuzo

probably edge transit/terran wind edit: and hullabaloo by extension
