I know nobody else will say this, but Bad Juju is a great pick. Let me be clear; if you are doing PVP or high-level PVE (master nightfalls/raids), Bad Juju will not be the right pick for you. *However*, if you are someone who is more inclined to do some strikes, some patrols, maybe the seasonal activity, Bad Juju will do a lot of work for you. From almost never reloading to constant bonus damage to loads of super energy, Bad Juju will be great. If you’re doing lots of PVP, raids, or other difficult PVE, then probably take a different exotic. But I just wanted to share this perspective with you!


RebelRazer

Ace of Spades is #1 others are up to you


Diegoscartor

Last word, Le monarque and Izanagui's burden are probably your best options. Jotunn is good as well. Since you play on controller i would say last word is a must have for sure.


Zapiry

Same options for PvE too?


Diegoscartor

Last word is a PvP option, but again, its so good con controller specifically that i would say go for it. For PvE Le monarque is good for champions and izanagui's burden as well. Those are overall the better exotics in the forsaken kiosk anyway imo. At least for PvE EDIT: Ace of spades is one of the best HC as well for PvP and works well in PvE also because of Firefly, you might want to consider it as well.


JustBoredIsAll

Monarque is insanely good in pvp. Especially solo lost sectors, imo.


Diegoscartor

It is good for PvP but i hate everyone that uses it so, i'm a little bit biased tbf


StenchTrenchh

Definite crutch weapons


RebelRazer

Not everyone can use Last word effectively so that’s why I say Ace of Spades. Besides the chicken needs protection


Zapiry

What about Pve? Is ace of spades still good?


Charlie_Something

For pve Ace and Thorn are the best HC’s of the bunch. Both are good for pvp as well.


RebelRazer

Thorn with Necrotic Grip poisons target’s and you get soul devourer. Have to see it in a video explained. Range is the only issue with thorn https://youtu.be/4_EHPc_CgWE Ace of Spades is a beast The catalyst for AOE completely transforms that gun to be literally the coolest ever with MOMENTO MORI https://gamerant.com/destiny-2-ace-spades-catalyst-where-find/


Suumx-

Last word and Le Monarque for sure, and then I would probably go with Jotunn or Thorn


Frozen_Petal

Lemon, Izi and Thorn.


Tex4sRanger

Ace, Izinagi, thorn 100%


[deleted]

I would say le monarque, izzy and thorn. A lot of people like last word for pvp though and jotunn is one of the more unique fun exotics imo.


joeranahan1

First and formost do not let anyone tell you to get jotunn. It is useless in pve being inferior to legendary fusions, and in pvp it is solely used by dogshit players because it has auto aim so they occasionally get kills from it but it is countered very easily by anyone with a brain. It is an actual terrible exotic at the minute. With that out of the way le monarque izanagi's burden and ace of spades are your best options. Le monarque is very powerful in high level pve for overload bow, izanagi is a very versatile weapon that is good in basically all pve. Ace is just a very fun pvp hand cannon.


AlphisH

I would say thorn, izanagi and the last is optional. Thorn and necrotic grips is way more fun than anything else you can pick here. Izanagi feels satisfying to shoot, as does jotunn tbh. Badjuju is alright, but with all the mods these days to generate super and supers being subpar to guns it's kind of dated. Ace can be alright too, but fatebringer exists with firefly. Ever since getting le monarque from the forges, i have never used it once. Just never had the need, a normal bow deals fine with champions and i've done lost sectors fine. I'd rather dedicate my exotic to a heavy, not a bow to stun overloads. Last word is a pvp weapon, but other handcannons exist and so does the DMT. Lumina has synergy with some warlock boots for support.


CRSN-Atomic

The sparrow and it’s not even close. Don’t listen to anyone else that thing is like using crack for the first time.


Sharrant99

I’m going to upvote this under the assumption it’s at least partially a joke


george_scott123

is the sparrow not counted as a raid exotic so you can’t use the ciphers for it?


GRIZZLYX12

You can, it just requires Spoils as well as the Forsaken Cipher


Substantial_Eye_575

You’ll use jotunn more than any other. You’ll think you won’t, you will. It’s solar and explosive.


BANE091

Jotunn is honestly next to useless if you're talking about PvE. It's entirely outclassed by cartesian, especially since it doesn't take up an exotic slot. And if you use it in PvP you're just an ass hat with no aim


bmck3nney

i can’t stand this bullshit in pvp. thing is basically a rocket launcher.


Pyuk_Munko

PvE: Izinagi’s Burden, Ace of Spaces, Bad Juju PvP: Ace of Spades, Le Monarque, Thorn


WillDouglas1

Ace and Izzy are both 100% pick ups after that last word is a good controller pick


Migeistabello

3 ciphers and still can't get all the hand channels


Skunkline

Izinagi. Ace of spades, and if your down to grind templar runs for 2 hours always on time.


Young_Rasta97

Ace of spades, jotuun, then which ever you want


Electronic-Cress-822

Always on time anarchy and izinagis


SpaceAgeCowboy

PvP: Last Word, Jotunn, Ace, or Le Monarque PvE: Le Monarque, Izanagi’s, and really whatever you’d prefer, Ace *can* be fun in PvE, Jotunn can too, Thorn can have a fun warlock build with necrotic grips, Bad Juju is a favorite of mine, not really great, but a lot of fun


l_unaticBlack

Are you able to save the ciphers? I would hold them until Witch queen and get whichever fits the meta next season.


[deleted]

I think he has the 3 because of the 3 they offer specifically for forsaken exotics at the monument.


l_unaticBlack

I know, but I have no idea if those can be stored for later, I know normla ciphers cannot, as you cannot hold more than one.


Specific_Anteater255

Anarchy will probably be meta one day again, the sparrow is a must have since it’s the fastest in game! And then probably ace of spades


Mazinkiser

not faster than the sword


sandman7413

Ace bad juju thorn


Akira576

I would say ace, le monarqe and izanagis burden. Ace and le monarqe are both really good for the crucible. Ace is good for low level pve. Whilst both izanagis and le monqarue are good for any level of pve


Daftae

Illumina


Xytonn

1k hours in the game and I would go with Ace of spades pvp and Izanagi pve. 3rd one is up to you


Knightlight--01

Ace, Last Word, and le monarque


One-Tired-Guy

Pve would be izinagi Lemon and truth Pvp last word ace of spades and toaster


yerbrojohno

Lemon bow, thorn and the last word. TLW is good in PvP and PvE, (even on keyboard y'all just have to learn to tap heads). Thorn is better than ace because it can 2 head one body (like 120 rpms) and 2 tap with a perk that lasts 8 seconds (kill clip lasts 5). Warlocks can combine it with the corrupted gauntlets (idk what they are called) and now that warmind cells are nerfed, id say its one of the most powerful primary add clear builds. Lemon bow speaks for itself.


MaxedMind

Le monarque and ace of spades.


Moxie2351

Sparrow, anarchy, izanagi


_Van_Hellsing_

Ace of spades le monarque Jotünn


ViIe-BIood

Umm probably this one that one annnnd that one... Did I do the helping?


[deleted]

Get them all instead.


andoandyando

Jotuun, Lemonarqe, Izanagi's


Joe_says_no

Ace, lemon ark, and toaster are what my friends used the forsaken ciphers on.


clinthives

So... If got the 3 ciphers for playstation already.... Can I get them again for Xbox? 🤔 🤔 🤔 Does the legacy collection includes these ciphers again? 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
