In this part of the video, the reviewer analyzes several exotic weapons from the game Destiny, highlighting key attributes, aesthetics, and performance:
– **Conditional Finality (Shotgun)**: Praised for its beauty and dominance against bosses and champions, but criticized for its limited magazine capacity and range. It lacks a Catalyst to remedy these issues. It receives an S-tier for aesthetics and fun but an A-tier for functionality.
– **Hierarchy of Needs (Solar Bow)**: Compared to Tiku’s Divination but functions in reverse, creating solar rings to amplify arrow damage and provide tracking. Despite its stunning design inspired by Rasputin and war mines, it falls short in performance due to the lack of solar 3.0 verbiage, earning a B-tier ranking.
– **Collective Obligation (Pulse Rifle)**: From The Vow of the Disciple, it uses void debuffs effectively, applying them back to enemies. Though powerful and user-friendly, it is niche and best used with void builds, receiving an S-tier rating overall.
– **Heart Shadow (Exotic Sword)**: Coming from The Duality dungeon, it allows invisibility after heavy attacks and weakens enemies with charged attacks. Despite its stunning Hellraiser-esque design and interesting abilities, it’s limited in the current meta, earning an S-tier for looks and fun, but an A-tier for performance.

In this part of the video, several notable weapons from Destiny are discussed:
1. **Touch of Malice**: Featured in The King’s Fall raid, it offers high risk and reward by damaging its user for bonus damage, similar to Tommy’s Matchbook. It’s considered niche but is rated as a solid A-tier weapon.
2. **Eyes of Tomorrow**: A rocket launcher from the Deep Stone Crypt that fires tracking rockets. Recent adjustments improved it, but it remains subpar and is rated D-tier.
3. **Gjallarhorn**: An iconic rocket launcher from the Grasp of Avarice dungeon. Despite not being as powerful as before, it retains its status as one of the best Exotics and is rated S-tier.
4. **Divinity**: Known for its functionality in debuffing enemies, making it valuable in team settings. Despite recent nerfs, it remains highly effective in Grand Masters, dungeons, and raids, earning it an S-tier rating.
5. **Xenophage**: A heavy machine gun from the Pit of Heresy dungeon. Once a top DPS weapon, it has been nerfed but still remains a top choice for Invaders in Gambit.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the rankings and evaluations of various exotic weapons in the game. The Wishender bow, while powerful in specific activities like master and Grand Master nightfalls, is ranked as an A-tier weapon due to its limited utility outside those scenarios. The 1K Voices heavy Fusion rifle, despite its aesthetically pleasing explosions and recent updates, is deemed impractical and also rated A-tier because of its underperformance in the current sandbox. The Vex Mythoclast exotic, known for its unique dual firing modes and powerful performance in both PVP and PVE, is highly rated with an S-tier ranking. Finally, the speaker mentions other older raid Exotics like the Taraba solar SMG, the Legend of Acrius heavy shotgun, and the Anarchy heavy grenade launcher, which are now available through the Exotic kiosk.

Despite the theoretical strengths of an SMG, it is outperformed by many legendary weapons, leading to a C-tier ranking.

The Anarchy grenade launcher, once dominant in raids, suffers from the same issue and is ranked B-tier.
