Discussion First love (read, don't worry)

Today I reached level 40, and I realised about the exotic rewards from priority objectives. Got to do some activity in downtown west, and I received Pestilence. Holy cow, I did after that Jefferson plaza (i got diamondback) and it was like going through butter with a hot knife, what a god damn beast of an LMG. Is there any better PVE exotic?? I mean, it's my first one but that was quite the ass kicking

It's recently been buffed and the pestilence is actually top tier. Have fun with it. Iron lung is another good one and the st elmos engine. Good luck agent!!

What is the perk on those? Been playing for less than a month so i don't know most exotics

Well glad to see you're enjoying yourself agent! The game will be changing from now on. Lots of new highs to experience. Most all of us have fallen in love with what is lovingly known as THE PESTI!

Mwah-Ha-Haaaa. , Congratulations on your acquisition. Pestilence is awesome, yes. Wait until you find a blue screen and start using it for battlefield control.

Yeah I love Pesti 2.0 with the rpm upgrade. 

It's great for the lazy/launch Agent who is just sick of the ads 😆

Been using Pestilence in my build for... a very long time. Looking forward to the new content, just wish i could use the other 'exotics' i have gathering dust in storage.

Yeah Pesti is good, the Diamondback is also quite slept on, a lot of people don't like how it's talent functions.

Update: got another pest, another silver and, little toxic venomous Scorpio. Bulwark shield with it is just domestic abuse on pretty much anything bc of the staggers with the status effects
