With The Final Form looming over the horizon, Bungie is releasing more and more teasers to keep fans excited. One of these treats that is on everyone’s mind is the Static Hunt, a brand new weapon that will be introduced in the highly anticipated expansion. And what a treat it is!
What do we know about the Static Hunt?
The Static Hunt, as we saw in Bungie’s preview earlier this month, is Exotic Sniper Rifle this will be available to players who own The Final Form. Here’s what we know so far about how it works, what it can do and more.
Still the exotic perks of Hunt in Destiny 2
The main exotic advantage of Still Hunt is called Cayde’s Revenge:
“Take Orbs of Power or earth precision hits to charge this weapon’s superbar. Once full, press Reload to fire a Golden Gun.”
You read that right- Free Golden Gun in the energy weapons slot, on an Adaptive Frame Sniper Rifle that can be used by any class. And all you have to do is hit your crits or pick up orbs of power, both of which are very common things to do! From what we’ve seen in both the official preview video and in images from content creators invited to Bungie’s preview event, Still Hunt’s “superstate” appears. imitate the Golden Gun Shooter in specifics. This means players will have three shots available, with each successive shot earning higher accuracy damage in combat.
Pre-release speculations about Still Hunt
That said, the biggest point of interest that players should focus on isn’t just the fact that it’s a free second Super to use after using your own. If this gun can mimic a Golden Gun, then there’s a good chance it would synergize with the Celestial Nighthawk exotic helmet and give Still Hunt a single, turbocharged super shot. With The Final Shape’s raid dropping just three days after its release, this gun will be a frequently recommended candidate for attack teams shooting for Day One and World First clears.
Bungie recently allowed content creators and related publications to reveal and discuss their results from testing a preview of The Final Form, including access to the Still Hunt rifle.
As of this posting, The Final Form is still only a few days away from release. Some things are still changed in full release. Once June 3rd rolls around, expect to see updates detailing this gun’s stats, specific perks, how to get it, and more.
