Interactive and fun mechanic. Check. Mechanic doesn’t shoehorn you into a gimmicky playstyle. Check. Mechanic resets upon completion of smaller task while buff is active. Check. You can STORE THE BUFF. TRIPLE CHECK.

This weapon is phenomenal. Bungie hit all the high notes with this one, I know people will sh*t on it for being an LFR, but I dont think it would work nearly as well on a sniper or other weapon. Not to mention Bungie finally learned from Ace of Spades and Tarrabah that losing buffs for no reason is lame. This is one of the best exotics we’ve received in awhile.

Someone at Bungie is a fan of Slave 1's seismic charges...

You are dead on, actually! Slave 1's seismic charge is my fav sound in SW, and my entire inspiration for making this explosion sound like this!

Tons of us don't have the flair :) But my post history might be proof enough! Also check out my twitter @juanpaudio if you want!

Thats what I heard too lol

And if you’re scoped in, the little sound the gun makes sounds like the sensors from Slave 1 but that could just be confirmation bias on my parts

Not at all, good ear! I was trying to go for a vibe from a lot of the star wars binoculars/scopes/ship telemetry. It also reacts subtly if you move the scope around, kinda like in the movies!

I was calling it the R2-D2 gun because of the sound it makes when it targets someone.

Glad you think that! I totally went for R2D2 or droid chatter vibes with that sound! Just lots of star wars vibes all over haha

Fantastic job on those sounds mate :)

Yeah I'd love the flair! I've started to frequent the sub much more often lately! And thank you so much for the kind words. It's been an exciting day today!

Thanks! :)

I just went on vacation today to get some rest, I'll do that when I'm back next week, thank you!

Keep in mind that having the flair will automatically highlight all comments you make on /r/DestinyTheGame as a Bungie response. This is the reason many of your colleagues rather go unflaired, just to make sure that you are aware of that.

Thank you for the note! I'll remember that

hi! I was wondering if you all do the type of discipline as part of the flair. Right now my flair just says Bungie, but could it also say my title? Senior Sound Designer? Let me know, thank you!

Hey hey! Welcome back, haha. For future reference, you can just send us a modmail instead of hunting down old comments.

You'll be happy to know that your flair does indicate you as a sound designer! Every flair is comprised of two parts, the image and the descriptive text. We already have you covered on the descriptive text :)

On old reddit, when a user hovers over your name, or, if they have subreddit styling turned off.

And on new reddit, by default!

The image itself (the thing that says "Bungie") is tied to the bot, and that's the special default flair we give to all Bungie employees!

I can upgrade you to "Senior Sound Designer" though ;)

Thank you so much!
